Our wedding was nothing short of a dream come true. Laura and her team are fabulous to work with-everything and I mean EVERYTHING is done in house so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests (and we ourselves) have not stopped raving at the food, the atmosphere, and service.

I cannot find the right words to fully express how amazing Tchoupitoulas Plantation is. Ever since I was a little girl I have thought about my dream wedding. I had a vision and Laura and Patrick made it reality. So much was included in the venue, making wedding planning a breeze and Laura helped walk us through it all. Every question I had answered and every idea brought to life. All of the staff and serves were so kind and helpful. And we still have guests calling us about how good the food was. Honestly I could go on and on about how great this venue is! Our wedding day was everything I could have asked for and more! Absolutely perfect!

I recommend this place to every single person getting married you won’t regret it. 5 starts truly isn’t enough. Thank you so much Laura and Patrick for making our dream wedding a reality !

If i could give 100 stars i would. The food is absolutely amazing and my family is full of chefs and huge foodies. People will be talking about the food for years to come. Laura the owner is so helpful and she is there for you every step of the way. She goes above and beyond for her customers! We had the most fun wedding there wasn’t a single complaint. I wish i could re live this day forever! Also this venue is pretty much all inclusive for a great price!
Another thing to add she gave us ALL of the food and cake to take home, most venues don’t give you the rest. Truly great!

I got married here on 10/15/23. Me and my husband knew right when we pulled up to cedar grove that this was the place. Laura was super great to work with! Anything and everything that I needed she was there. I was the type of go with the flow bride. And we definitely had to go with the flow on our wedding day. We had a slight hiccup right after the ceremony and when I tell you Laura was right there still making sure everything else was perfect and do anything she could to make it right she was! The food was AMAZING! I still think about the food til this day and all my guests still talk about it. I wouldn’t change anything about my wedding day. And cannot thank Laura and Patrick enough for everything they did leading up to my big day and the day of! If you don’t choose cedar grove for your ceremony/ reception you will definitely be missing out !

There is so much positive things to say about Laura and CGT family. Everyone was so kind, professional, and always had a smile. Laura helped us make sure we had everything needed for the wedding and reception and with the amount of allergies my family has we had no concerns the staff knew what they were serving. It has been a little over two weeks from our wedding and we are still hearing about how beautiful the venue and wedding was and are constantly hearing about how delicious the food was. CGT has everything you need for your wedding and reception. Everything ran smoothly because of Laura and her staff. Thank you so so much Laura and CGT family.

I fell in love with this place from the moment I stepped foot through the door. Laura was super helpful and stayed in communication with me periodically from the time I booked the venue and more frequently once the wedding approached. She was absolutely amazing and made everything easy and stress free.
I loved that I didn’t have add any extra decorations, and that Laura has many of the small extra things you may need already. Everything is decorated perfectly and is absolutely beautiful the way it is.
On the wedding day, Laura and the staff were all super attentive. Her husband, who does the cooking, even made sure to make special plates for my mom since she is allergic to garlic and it was in most of the dishes served. Everyone has been telling me how amazing the food and service was both inside and outside, and that it was once of the best weddings venues they have been to.

I think of all the wedding planning this place was the easiest decision. Everything was so simple and easy I really couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our wedding.

My Daughter was married here last week.The key to this place is the management and staff. My daughter wanted to handle every aspect of the planing and Laura was a great. She can do as much or as little as need to pull off a spectacular event. I have never had better food or service at a wedding and I have attended many. It has been a week since the wedding and I still get compliments on how fantastic the food,venue and service was at the wedding. I would not change a thing!

What a night! Laura and Patrick know how to coordinate an amazing party! Our wedding was everything we could have wanted. Our family and friends continue to talk about the beautiful venue, delicious food, attentive staff, and the amazing food (again). So many of my guest said it was the best wedding food they had ever had and it was not in short supply. Laura is wonderful! She is calm, cool, collected, and so organized. Everything was easy to plan and the venue itself included so much in their packages from a beautiful ceremony space to food and drinks to chairs, music, and centerpieces. Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation is truly a jewel offering so much to a couple that want to have a wedding filled with love, fun, and great food.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding. If it was up to us we would repeat this EVERY WEEKEND!!
While doing the research through TheKnot.com, I felt very drawn to it energetically just based on the photos and other reviews. Once we landed in New Orleans, we scheduled an appointment to tour it, and we fell in love immediately and decided to not even look at any other venue. Laura is amazing, kind, and very professional. She has all the patience to go over any doubt you might have and is always willing to answer questions and go the extra mile, making sure everything is perfect and taken care of. She has checklists for everything which works great when you have so many things in your head and don't know what you are actually doing. They make planning a wedding as easy as it can be!! We planned ours in 2 months and everything went perfect with the venue! She took all of the stress out of everything.
Another thing that drew us to Cedar Grove was the food reviews. Right from the beginning, by checking the food packages they offer, you can see the difference between this venue and the others. (I'm a trained chef and this was a big deal for us). Well, we definitely DON'T regret it. Patrick is an amazing Chef. The food was incredible!! Our guests and family are still talking about it.
Laura let us customize everything we wanted, being that we have different traditions in Colombia, and everything was just as I imagined it. Even on the day of the wedding, during the ceremony, and later during the reception, we were tweaking things and asking for additional favors to make sure everyone was comfortable, and she took care of everything without hesitation. You'd be hard pressed to find a better planner, venue, food selection, and host individually let alone all wrapped in one.
The number one thing that sets Cedar Grove apart from every other place is, Laura and Patrick. You can honestly tell that they care. They are attentive, thoughtful, and invested in making your wedding the best it can possibly be. We couldn't have asked for anything better, and this is definitely not the last time we will have a event there.

I cannot say enough how amazing Laura and the staff were in making our wedding amazing! From the time we booked until the wedding was over they were very easy to work with and made sure everything was as we wanted. We received so many compliments from guests after the wedding on how great the food and drink service were. There was never a time people were waiting on food or drinks. They definitely made this event so smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend using them.

Wow. We loved Cedar Grove, it was the perfect place for our wedding! We booked with them right before the pandemic started and they were so helpful and flexible. We had to postpone our original date due to covid and finally got married there effectively 2 years later. Laura and her team are wonderful. We had nothing but positive experiences working with them! Patrick makes amazing food. We have guests still raving about the food weeks later! Thank yall so much for making our wedding day special. The venue is stunning and has so much to offer.

I absolutely loved working with Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas! Laura was absolutely amazing and made sure that my day went off without a flaw! The thing that I loved is that she wasn’t just there the day of the wedding-days, weeks, and months she kept in touch with me. Checking to make sure I had items I didn’t think of, checking to see how planning was going, seeing if I needed anything. It was like your own day of personal attendant and wedding planner. She reached out to the vendors the week up and set up everything! (She also went as far as making sure I had everything planned and packed for the honeymoon!!). I can’t say enough kind words about her. She even saved the day on the day of-I hadn’t gotten any of my flowers delivered and had been calling flower place all morning with no answer. I was starting to panic-called the venue to see if maybe my bride Boyer was dropped off there. Laura had said the flowers for my cake and other arrangements but no bouquets. She could have ended the call like that but she said “It’s your day, no worrying, I will call them and figure it out and we will get you flowers!” Long story short-the flowers were found but she called and called and called until she could talk to someone. She didn’t have to do any of that but she truly cares and it just shows! She loves what she does, everyone there does!
Now onto the venue…absolutely breathtaking. If you are contemplating having your wedding here or any event-stop now. Do it. It was amazing. I love the floor plan of the venue and everyone was able to spread out for eating and dancing. A lot of people even sat outside as the weather was really nice! And the food….oh my gosh!!! Everyone from my wedding has raves about the food!! They seriously can not stop talking about how good it was!! We had a buffet style meal and several pass around and when I say several-they don’t disappoint! So so soooooo many! And they were so good! As bride and groom-after we took our pictures we were taken into the “red room” which is a room to put your personal items and also have a quick bite to eat before going into reception. We had a huge platter of quick bites to eat and we honestly licked the plate. It was sooo good! The bar was great-no weak drinks and high quality liquor. Great bartenders. We had a band but the DJ played some after and they were great too! I just can not recommend Cedar Grove enough. I don’t think my wedding would have been a success without them and I don’t think I would have been able to relax and have as much fun without them. 1000/10 recommend. Did not have one complaint from me or a guest!

Laura at Cedar Grove is a literal angel on Earth. She is a top notch host who takes professionalism to the next level, and her attention to detail is amazing. Cedar Grove is so romantic, I had so many guests say they felt like they were in a fairy tale! 30 people came up to me and said it was the absolute best food they had ever had (not just best wedding food… best anything food!!) The s'mores bar had the dining area smelling like delicious roasted marshmallows all night! Cedar Grove is amazing and affordable. I guarantee you, this is 10000x better than having your New Orleans wedding in the middle of the city. It is the full package and you would be lucky to party at Cedar Grove!!! I wish I could do it again next weekend! Can’t stress it enough - most fun night ever!!

My husband (then fiancé) and I were scrambling around February/March 2021 to change venues when it was uncertain we'd be able to have the wedding we wanted in New Orleans. In our search for an alternative venue we found Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation. In a whirlwind, we toured the venue and I just fell in love. Not to mention, Laura Higgins, the owner and coordinator was extremely communicative and thoughtful throughout the process and she made the transition from one venue to another seamless. Moving forward, she answered all of my questions in a very timely manner and made me feel like a valued client throughout the planning and day-of-coordination. She is organized and knows how to corral a bridal party like no other! My husband and I were impressed with how she kept everything on schedule throughout the planning process and the day of the wedding. Even if you're not the most organized bride, she's got you. In terms of the other staff, they are all pleasant and great at their jobs. Laura's husband, Patrick is the chef and Laura is the baker! The food is amazing, and we had many guests comment on how great the food was during and after. In addition, the bartenders were quick and friendly. There were family and friends that spent most of the night around the bar. It really was a great focal point for those not interested in the dance floor. We hired a band and we found the dance floor to be just right for our number of guests at the wedding (just under 200). In general, the night went off without a hitch and our guests throughly enjoyed themselves. Since the wedding we've gotten many compliments about the event and while COVID derailed our original plans, I'm glad it did. I could not imagine my day anywhere else. I recommend Cedar Grove to anyone looking for a little Southern Charm in the Greater New Orleans area.

We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding! If you want a relaxed wedding, this is the place to book. Everything is included and taken care of by Cedar Grove. We had to reschedule our wedding because of the pandemic, and they were very accommodating. When we finally had our wedding, Laura made sure that both my husband and I had anything and everything we might have needed or wanted the entire time we were there. The staff is very friendly and efficient. And the food! We got so many compliments from our guests about the food. This venue is for anyone who doesn’t want to have to worry about every little detail on their wedding day because Cedar Grove will take care of it for you. Everything from the music to the food to setting up and taking down the decorations was done for us by the venue. They also provided us with toasting glasses and a cake knife for cutting the cake. I’m so glad we were able to have such helpful people work with us on our wedding day. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an all-inclusive venue. They were amazing!

Cedar grove is the best place to have your reception! It’s so spacious, the staff is friendly, and the owners are the absolute best! Laura was so helpful with all the planning and even had a checklist to make sure everything was done. I really liked this venue because it already included everything- even the cake stand. Laura also passed out glow sticks and light up glasses which were a huge hit with the guests! When asking everyone if they had fun, everyone said the food was wonderful! There were no complaints!

Wow, just wow. I can not begin to describe how incredible this venue is. Cedar Grove was not my original wedding venue, but with COVID making Orleans Parish go into phase 1 I had to change my location. WITH 10 DAYS NOTICE! I called multiple places, and Laura at Cedar Grove answered all of my prayers. She allowed me to come to the venue within 25 minute of calling at 10am. Once I arrived I was sold! Laura made sure that everything I wanted was taken care of! The communication was fantastic! Within the hour of me leaving, and signing my contract Laura had already called all my venders from the previous venue. She talked to everyone directly to take a world of stress off of my shoulders. With the last minute changes, I had already chosen a cake vender that the venue didn't normally use. She credited me for part of the cake, and called them directly for me! The entire place is magical. My wedding was this past weekend, and I can't say enough about how perfect it was. I've gotten so many calls about how intimate and fun the location was. The staff was so friendly! and the FOOD! Oh my gosh the food.... My parents, in-laws, and guest could not rave enough! Everything came out hot, and delicious. My personal favorite were the hot beignets at the end of the night with coffee!
It is crazy that this place turned out the be my perfect venue, even with not knowing about it until days before. I don't think any other place could have made my day as special as it was. Please considering going to check it out, you won't be disappointed!

I can't say enough about Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation and the owners, Laura and Patrick. Moving a wedding reception two months prior to the wedding date because of Covid-19 restrictions and all the uncertainties with Orleans Parish was unfathomable. Luckily Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation was available.
Laura and Patrick took care of every detail including coordination with vendors. My daughter's reception was so special, elegant and memorable. All of my daughter's special requests were integrated into the reception venue. The outside courtyard with fireplace was also available to guests. The food, all done in-house, was delicious plentiful and kept coming all through the four-hour reception. No one left hungry. The staff was amazing, constantly checking on the bride, groom and parents if they wanted anything including having on hand preferred drinks and ingredients. Many of the guests commented on how courteous and helpful the staff was going above and beyond, including serving guests who chose the outside courtyard area.
I would absolutely recommend using Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation. You won't be disappointed. Laura and Patrick were great to work with. They helped with planning and executing a special and stress free event.

10 out of 10! A+! Don't look anywhere else for your event. Laura and her team were outstanding and made our wedding and days leading up to it seamless and unforgettable. My husband and I had to deal with a lot in the months leading up to our wedding... Covid, postponing our wedding, moving our reception last minute and then Hurricane Zeta. Long story short, we booked Cedar Grove 1.5 months before our wedding date. Moving to CGTP was probably the best decision we made. Honestly, we should have booked them all along. Laura answered all my of emails and phone calls immediately. If she didn't have an answer, she got back to right away. Her and Patrick took care of everything and made an extremely stressful day before our wedding seamless. My husband and I are truly grateful for everything they did for us. Food was outstanding! People are still talking about it! Due to Covid restrictions, all our food was passed, which was a hit for our guests. They loved all the variety and constant flow of food passed throughout the night. Huge shout out to Athena, Danielle and Dan for taking excellent care of us and our parents during the reception. Book Cedar Grove. You'll be glad you did.

We loved it when we first saw it, and decided on the venue on the spot.
Laura and her staff was the best organizer and co to work with. She gets the job done easily and stress-free! She gave us a tour (after we called last minute) of the place on the same day as two weddings and you can tell right then and there she loves this location. She gave us a checklist and recommendations of all the essentials. During the wedding she made sure the bride, immediate family, and I were comfortable with food and drinks and that we were on schedule. (By the way, food was loved by all). She even took care of a mishap that I have made when I order our escape vehicle too early.
Would recommend Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation to anyone! We even revisit the location to remanence it!

Cedar Grove is the BEST place you could get married at. Laura (the person in charge) is a SUPERWOMAN and takes care of everything. She ensures that you have everything needed to make your day as perfect as you expect it to be. The food was amazing and I am still hearing how great it was weeks after. Laura makes sure everything goes perfectly, and is a quick thinker/fixer if something isn't perfect (our unity candle was too BIG for the unity candle holder that we purchased, which we found out at our rehearsal TWO DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING, but Laura came to the rescue and assured my husband and I that she would melt the wax to fit it in the holder, which she did and it all looked amazing). I can't fit in this review how much this venue is worth absolutely every penny it costs (which is comparable to all wedding venues in New Orleans, but Cedar Grove is nicer and has better food). As a young bride, I had many many questions throughout the entire planning process and Laura was there at mostly any time to answer ALL of my questions, no matter how ridiculous or ignorant they were (I ask a lot of dumb questions). Last but not least, even after everything Laura did for us before and during our wedding, Cedar Grove gifted us a BEAUTIFUL large ice bucket with our new family name. If you don't book them, you are missing out!!! P.S. If you're interested, ask about the few nice ghost spottings they have, it is an old plantation home after all!

I cannot say enough great things about Cedar Grove, and about Laura and Pat. I immediately fell in love with this plantation the moment I stepped foot onto the property for a tour. It was my first stop on the venue viewing list, and every stop after I only found myself comparing venues to Cedar Grove. My husband and I quickly agreed this was a hands down - an easy yes! Every step of planning and organizing was made so easily with Laura's help. She was always so quick to respond and let us stop by as often as we felt the need to for planning and envisioning purposes. Wedding day was a dream - the plantation looked so beautiful and the staff was great! Guests complimented our wedding for weeks and raved about the food. They could not stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was. I'm so happy we went with Cedar Grove, and I'm so thankful to Laura and Pat for going above and beyond to make our day so special!

From start to finish, working with Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantaion was an absolute pleasure. Laura was there to help me plan along the way and was a treasure trove of insight, helping us make difficult choices that made our day extra special. We had a 250+ person wedding, with a huge wedding party and three sets of parents - a bit overwhelming to say the least! But Laura and the CGTP team handled it with ease, making sure I knew things were taken care of and coordinating the day so things went smoothly. And the food! Patrick and the team in the kitchen blew everyone away from pass around items, to the buffet. Laura and Patrick are wonderfully warm and caring people who truly want to make each couples day extraordinary- and they succeed!

If I could give this venue 10 stars, I totally would! My wedding day was STRESS FREE and everything with the ceremony and reception went so smoothly! Laura was so easy to work with and was very accommodating of all of our requests. My husband and I, along with all of our wedding guests, cannot stop talking about our big day! The food was amazing, the bar service was amazing, and my husband and I were waited on all night long! I was so happy with my venue choice, but everyone at Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation exceeded my every expectation. I am so grateful for everything they did. My husband and I will truly never forget how amazing our wedding day was. Thank you so much, Laura and Patrick!

My daughter just had her ceremony and reception there and I must say that everything was excellent. Laura and her staff treated us like royalty. They took care of everything. Made sure the bride and groom and the parents had drink and food at all times if needed. The food was amazing. Everything came out piping hot so you knew it was fresh and it tasted wonderful. True New Orleans cooking. Thank you Cedar Grove for a wonderful day!

This was a great place, between the customer service and food, everyone was happy! I was thankful my family and friends were taken great care of and everyone had a blast at our wedding. I love that they thought of the details and its in the small things that make the biggest impacts. Thanks Cedar Grove for making our day so special xoxo

So hard to put into words how amazing Jill and her staff were for our wedding! They made us feel so special and their attention to detail was amazing. If something did go wrong on our wedding day I had no idea Because they handled the event so smoothly. The food was AMAZING and they did everything in their power to make sure our guests were having a good time! Rachel, our day of attendant, was so sweet and so helpful! If i could give CGT 100 stars I would!

I cannot say enough good things about Cedar Grove! Jill was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. My grandparents weren’t able to make it to the wedding due to illness and Jill was able to set aside a staff member to help live stream the ceremony for us so that they could watch it in real time from the hospital. We got so many compliments on the set up, food quality, and overall atmosphere of the venue. Jill helped coordinate everything so perfectly and it all went very smoothly. I would recommend this venue to everyone!

Our first daughter had her ceremony and reception at Cedar Grove in 2016. Our second daughter after looking at different venues, has decided on Cedar Grove for her reception in June 2018. We all agree there is no other venue that provides the atmosphere, the attention to detail, food, service and amazing staff. We are excited to be returning to Cedar Grove and so are our guests. Jill is so amazing, easy and creative to work with. Our second daughters reception will be all her own and different than her sister. There is no other venue like Cedar Grove so if exceptional is what you are looking for, look no further. Cedar Grove is like returning home and where life time memories are made.

Wow, how do I start to review such an absolutely amazing place! I'm very lucky to have found out about Cedar Grove through a Bridal expo and it was literally the best decision we made during our wedding (other than saying "I do"). Jill is absolutely amazing!! I cannot say enough good things about her and her venue. We only met with her maybe 3 for 4 times before the wedding but she is a top notch expert in weddings and she knew exactly how we wanted everything and took charge in just those few meetings. She worked with us to set up late times to meet since my husband and I work late during the week. Its the only venue we went to see and I'm glad we didn't waste any time going to look at others. The price you pay for the service you get is outstanding! Jill let me take my bridal pictures onsite and they have the most beautiful grounds to get stunning pictures. The week before the wedding I dropped off a pile of pictures and favors and items for the wedding and honestly felt doubtful that it would be set up how I wanted it to be the day of. I got to the venue on the wedding day and everything was PERFECT and that's saying a lot because I am OCD and consider myself a perfectionist. I never had to worry about ANYTHING the day of my wedding! Jill had everything under control. She kept us all on schedule, we had our personal attendance that constantly refilled out drinks and gave us food (our parents had the same thing too), and at the end of the party they had already packed my parents car and our limo with food and cake and champagne. Speaking of the food....OUTSTANDING! Everyone raved about how good it was and how much food there was. Jill even let me and my husband sit down in the "red room" for 10 minutes while we stuffed our faces and took in the moment of just saying "I do". We also used the in house DJ and everyone was on the floor dancing and having a good time. Everything was executed exactly as we had pre-determined in our meetings, and everything was on point, on schedule, and perfect. I didn't think there was such a thing as a wedding that had NOTHING go wrong but with Jill and Cedar Grove you can expect a perfect a relaxing wedding (who knew that was even possible). Seriously though...don't look anywhere else.

Cedar Grove:
There is just something about this place that will have you hooked forever! I was in a wedding in 2009 and the reception was at Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Planation and ever since then I knew I wanted to have my wedding there. I could not say enough wonderful things about this plantation. It truly is a beautiful place to get married. The owner, Jill Mercer is the sweetest lady ever! Everything she does is wonderful and graceful! She mad my wedding day amazing. She made me feel like family from the moment I walked into the door. I'm so grateful that I picked this venue as my wedding venue because it truly is perfect, from the food, to the decor, to the royalty you feel when you walk out of the door. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this place. I am a perfectionist and always want the best and this planation is the best! I seriously LOVE this place!!!

BEST DAY EVER is all that our guests keep saying. We planned our wedding from Virginia and Jill made the whole process so easy. We looked at 6 venues in 2 days and once we walked into CGT, we knew right away that this was the perfect fit. The grounds are beautifully updated and maintained. The rustic/chic atmosphere inside the house and chapel were exactly the vibe we were going for. There areso many different spots around the venue to take beautiful photos. The food was absolutely incredible and all of the staff were professional and attentive. We cannot say enough great things about Jill and this venue. If you are looking for a top notch venue and a planner that absolutely knows her stuff, you can stop looking. Cedar Grove was the best decision we made.
