If you’re dreaming of a wedding venue that combines Southern charm, elegant spaces, and all the modern comforts for a full wedding weekend experience, look no further! Let me introduce you to one of my absolute favorite places to photograph: The White Magnolia in Kentwood, Louisiana.
Nestled on acres of rolling countryside, this family-owned estate is truly a hidden gem for couples looking for that perfect blend of romance and relaxation. From the peaceful views to the beautifully designed spaces, every corner of The White Magnolia was made with celebration in mind.
The Chapel: Timeless & Intimate
The white chapel is an absolute showstopper. With its tall ceilings, large open arches that flood the space with natural light, and classic pew seating, it’s the kind of ceremony space that feels sacred and serene. Whether you’re planning a traditional ceremony or something a little more personal, this chapel sets the tone for a meaningful “I do.”
The Barn: Elegant Southern Vibes
The reception barn is where rustic charm meets modern elegance. Think whitewashed walls, exposed beams, and plenty of room for dinner, dancing, and celebrating. The natural light during the day makes it a dream to photograph! And once the sun sets, it transforms into a cozy and romantic party space.
Getting Ready Suites & Cottages: Designed with You in Mind
Brides and grooms will love the thoughtfully designed getting ready suites and loft area. The bridal suite is spacious, beautifully lit, and perfect for capturing all the excitement of the morning. The groom’s quarters are just as inviting. These spaces give everyone a comfortable and stylish place to prep and relax before the festivities begin.
For guests and the wedding party, the on-site cottages are a major bonus. Staying on property makes the entire experience feel like a weekend retreat instead of a one-day blur.
Exciting Additions: More to Love
The White Magnolia keeps getting better and better! They’ve recently added a pool, bistro, and pickleball courts! These new features turn a wedding weekend into a true destination experience. Imagine lounging by the pool with your best friends the day before your wedding, grabbing brunch at the bistro, or challenging the groomsmen to a round of pickleball. It’s the kind of place where memories go far beyond the wedding day itself.
As a photographer, I can’t say enough about how much I love working at The White Magnolia. The light is beautiful, the spaces are inspiring, and the team is incredibly welcoming. If you’re looking for a venue that offers a full, joy-filled wedding experience from start to finish, The White Magnolia might just be your perfect match!
