New to the knot and to the town

in Louisiana-Baton Rouge
EmbarassedMy name is Erica and been engaged since May.  We recently moved from Pittsburgh PA to Lafayette LA (been here about a month). With some nudging from the inlaws we have moved up our wedding from in 2012 (fiance will have graduated then) to this summer.  Needless to say I am completely overwhelmed. Not knowing the area and not knowing and local brides is making my search for a wedding venue incredibly hard. I was just wondering what venues people have chosen in the Lafayette and Baton Rouge area and what they think of them.  We are looking at quite a small wedding and reception (under 75 guests) and trying to do it as cheaply as possible.  Any ideas would be a godsend.  Thank you!

    Hi - I'm not familiar with places in Lafayette, but there is a place in Baton Rouge that might be perfect for you. I am a photographer and I have two weddings booked for weddings that are being held there, each are having about 75 guests. It's called The Gatehouse. Here is their website: www.stage1gatehouse.com. I also have a couple pictures of The Gatehouse on my website (www.sarakelley.net).

    Also, if you are looking for wedding photos on a budget, please check out my website (www.sarakelley.net). I am just getting into wedding photography and I am running a $500 special for the first 10 couples to book their weddings with me. The information about the special is on the Wedding Prices page. I already have a couple of spots booked, so if you are interested, please let me know.


    Thanks!!!

    I am getting married at the Gatehouse, and it's the perfect size for 75-100 guests. They also include cake, catering, DJ, a hostess... and they give you recommendations for other vendors, they do all the setup and cleanup....... and I think we're coming in at under $6k for everything the Gatehouse includes.

    The only things I needed were a dress, a photographer (Debbie WIlliams Photography), a florist (Billy Heroman's Flowerland), and an officiant (family friend).

    Everything else is done for me. I would definitely suggest contacting Christy or Laura at the Gatehouse for more info. They'll give you a tour and it's a lovely little property.

    There are many places in Lafayette, I am helping plan my son's wedding and we have looked at a few. 

    Let me know if you want a place that does most everything or if you want to bring in your own food and such.
