I adored working with Tresse and the team at White Pillars Restaurant & Lounge for our rehearsal dinner. They were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the planning process. The venue itself was classic, gorgeous, and spotlessly clean - the perfect backdrop for our special occasion. They worked closely with us on all the details to ensure the event was flawless, and even passed out glasses of bubbly right on time for the toast. With over a hundred guests, each one felt special and well taken care of. I absolutely recommend White Pillars to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding or rehearsal venue!

Awarded Best of Zola
Best choice I could’ve made! Ms. Brittany was so accommodating and communicative. It was a relief knowing that if the weather was bad, we’d have a backup inside. Having a decoration room, tables, and chairs that we could use also saved us on costs!!

If you love nature and want a fairy garden vibe to your wedding, then choose Palmettos on the Bayou!! We got married under a huge, mossy oak tree, and held our reception on the patio deck that is built around cypress trees and right up on the Bayou (no mosquitos or bugs either!). The wedding coordinator there makes everything so easy and they help guide you along the way. There is a cottage on site you can rent to get ready in, which is so spacious and cute! We got on site at 8am, and didn't have to leave the property until post reception! I seriously couldn't have asked of a better experience and the best part is we get to go back for an anniversary dinner every year. I will always recommend this venue to anyone who asks. 10000/10!!!
