Pinewood has been selected for 2 weddings in my family now, and both events were treated with the utmost attention and detail. They ensured we received the perfect amount of person...
al and professional attention throughout the entire process, from planning to rehearsal to the day of. When choosing our venue, we wanted to take into account where we would be most comfortable and fulfilled with the scenery and atmosphere they could provide, and Pinewood achieved both of those goals entirely, not just with the architecture but with the love and care provided. I could not have asked for a better group of individuals to guide us through the process of marriage than them. Thank you so much for making everything possible! If I could put more than 5 stars, I would. You will not find anyone more dedicated than the lovely folks at Pinewood.

t us at ease. On the wedding day itself, everything ran so smoothly that I was actually able to relax and be present — they handled things I didn’t even have to think about.
Their professionalism, calm energy, and attention to detail made such a difference. So many of our guests commented on how amazing and seamless everything felt, and that is 100% because of this team. They truly went above and beyond to make our day stress-free and special.
It was truly one of the best values of our entire wedding — the level of organization, support, and care we received far exceeded what we expected. We are beyond grateful and couldn’t recommend them more highly.

e and great staff. The interior looks really nice is very spacious with a large ballroom and joined barroom. There is a bridal suite and groom suite that are very nice. Catering is done through the venue which is very convenient and they include basic decorations with the ability to add your own, and a day of coordinator. The staff (Mrs. Terri and Mrs. Maria) were super easy to work with and accommodated our desires for the floorplan and schedule. They were very sweet and always made us feel like the center of our special day, even getting us water and food throughout the night. We couldn't have had a more perfect experience with the Pinewood. Thank you Mrs. Terri, Mrs. Maria, and Mr. Louis!

dvice. Pinewood had two options for a wedding venue. We chose the ballroom due to it's reflection of "southern charm". We opted for an out of doors wedding ceremony with the option, due to weather, to be able to move it indoors at the last minute if needed! Following the wedding I'm pondering using this venue for a business event. Great experience all the way around

We had our son’s rehearsal dinner at the Pinewood Country Club on December 14, 2023. Terri H. ,the manager, went above and beyond coordinating the event. She is easy to reach; call...
ing back within the hour ! She helped us decide the decor, table arrangements, menu prep, and guest seating! I called her so many times and she always answered my questions and told me it was no problem ! I made a last minute menu change and asked her opinion and it was the best decision! The food was great! She suggested a plated dinner of steak or Cajun chicken with crawfish cream sauce. They were both a hit! The praline bread pudding will have you asking for seconds. It tasted like a 5 star restaurant! I can’t say enough about the bar tenders and wait staff who were organized, friendly, and courteous! Our 3 hour dinner went by so quickly and no one wanted to leave! They graciously let us stay longer to make last minute plans and to toast the bride and groom to be! I recommend calling and booking early! You can’t beat the price and your experience is going to be amazing!

enough for everyone to fit in comfortably and there are enough seats and mirrors for everyone to get ready in the room together. The staff was amazing Ms Terri from start to finish was there for anything I needed. Ms Maria checked on us so many times throughout the day to see if we needed anything at all. Their gentle reminders kept everyone on schedule and helped with the flow of the day overall. If you want a venue that has everything with a great staff as a bonus this is the place you should book.

The space is beautiful - especially the outdoor area near the pool (we chose to do an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception and would not have changed a thing)
Everything I wanted, Terri made happen without any issues.
The price is also unbelievably affordable for the value you get. Bartenders were amazing. They remembered me and my wedding party's drinks of choice and had them ready for us each time we got to the bar.
10/10 recommend! Booking this venue made my special day so easy and beautiful.

Having a wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic has been absolutely disheartening and maddening! BUT!! THANK GOD FOR PINEWOOD PLANTATION AND THEIR STAFF! When our daughter's wedding...
was canceled in April by the LA governor, Pinewood was so accommodating, kind, and flexible. We rescheduled for July with ease, and they were with us every step of the way with no additional costs! There were also hand sanitizer stations throughout the room, and we felt that they were exceptionally careful and made it a priority to insure the health and safety of our guests!
The Reception Hall at Pinewood Plantation was exquisite! It was STUNNINGLY decorated for us! So clean and lovely! We had about 150 guests, and we had plenty of room to dance! AND WE DANCED ALL AFTERNOON! We even had a New Orleans Second Line parade!
The food was DELICIOUS! All of our guests, mostly from New Orleans- so they know good food- exclaimed that the food was better than any reception hall that they had ever been to. We chose the 2nd catering package (option) and the food was plentiful, hot, and so good!! We had Seafood Pasta, Glazed Pork Tenderloin, Caesar Salad, Meatballs, spinach and artichoke dip, gumbo, etc. Simply SCRUMPTIOUS!! Soft drinks, iced tea, and water were complimentary. We even had a cash bar for alcoholic beverages too.
I challenge you to find better service anywhere!! We had EXCELLENT service and care by Mrs. Terri Haithcock and her staff. They were catering to our every whim and need on the day of the wedding. Terri is so kind and really helped us plan for everything ahead of time. She knew what to ask us and truly knew how to guide our planning despite COVID! She herself was so available and accessible on the day of the wedding! We truly appreciate her and her polite staff!
All in all, we HIGHLY recommend Pinewood Plantation to anyone planning a wedding, an anniversary, or any formal or casual party!! Great Staff, Great Food and a Beautiful location!
