SPECIAL EVENTS &
The Old Governor’s Mansion has been the stage for weddings and receptions, rites of passage, and corporate and nonprofit meetings and events. Our location on North Boulevard is accessible, with parking right next door. We can fit your plans, and your budget - all in an enchanting setting.
The mansion is located in downtown Baton Rouge, where the city was founded near the Mississippi River. Baton Rouge Metro Airport is just minutes away. Whether you are hosting a wedding, social event or fundraiser, the venue is within easy walking distance to places of worship, multiple hotels, and dozens of restaurants for festivities before and after your event.
Some couples have married at our companion museum and event venue - the Old State Capitol - and strolled three blocks over to the mansion for a reception.
