Southern Stables

Southern Stables is a private countryside venue in West Monroe, Louisiana, offering a distinctive setting for weddings and other celebrations. The property covers more than 40 acres, with open pastures, a pond and landscaped grounds that give organisers a choice of scenic backdrops for ceremonies, receptions and photographs.

At the centre of the venue is an elegant barn, complemented by an outdoor pavilion. Events can be planned indoors or outside, allowing couples and organisers to choose a setting that suits their occasion. The venue also welcomes enquiries for non-wedding events, including private celebrations and other gatherings.

Bookings can be made for a single day or as a weekend package. Depending on the option selected, the rental may include the barn, pavilion and guest house, with access arranged for preparation, the event itself and collection or clear-up afterwards. Tables, chairs and linens are provided, and the venue prepares the agreed layout before guests arrive. The team discusses event arrangements during a final walk-through, helping organisers plan the use of the spaces.

The guest house offers a place for the wedding party to get ready, and overnight accommodation for the couple is available with selected bookings or as an add-on. Rehearsal dinners and additional preparation time can also be arranged. Couples booking a wedding may use the grounds for engagement or bridal portraits, subject to the venue's arrangements.

Organisers can bring in their own suppliers, while the venue can share recommendations after booking. Southern Stables is therefore suited to event planners looking for a dedicated rural venue with indoor and outdoor options, practical rental inclusions and space for both the celebration and its preparations.
