Are there any wedding reception halls in Baton Rouge that don’t require you to use their caterer?

what caterer do you want to use. i know the museum downtown doesnt care who caters as long as its electric elements to heat up the food and no open fire since there is a lot of art in the building.

ive seen people do their own food with aid of family members at civic centers just outside of BR.

I'm pretty sure the Louisiana State Museum, Old Governor's Mansion, & the Old State Capitol do not have their own caterers, but they may have a list of approved or preferred caterers that you have to use.

For someplace a bit less expensive, you might try some of the hotels to see if they have a banquet room available. I don't know if they would allow outside food or not.

ETA: Also try some of the BREC facilities--maybe Magnolia Mound Plantation?

This is Denham, but whatever.. BR outlier:

They have a caterer linked on their site but I assumed it just meant it's one you "can" use.. or that they usually work with. Because it's a totally different company.

If I remember correctly, you have to make a $4,000 "donation" to the state before you can even rent any of the state owned facilities.

Then you can pick your own caterer.

Use the teenage center or American Legion hall in Mamou.

What about the 4th floor of the Shaw Center? They have a list of preferred caterers, but it doesn't appear that it's mandatory to use one of them.

Shaw Center

Are Saturday night weddings still banned by the Catholic Church in BR?
