5 Things to Look for When Booking a Venue

Choosing the perfect wedding venue in Louisiana is one of the most important steps in planning your big day. Your venue sets the stage for your entire celebration and influences your guest experience, theme, and budget. To help you make the right decision, here are five key factors to consider when booking a wedding venue—plus why Magnolia Springs Wedding & Event Center should be at the top of your list!

1. Location and Accessibility

Your venue should be easy to find and convenient for guests traveling from different areas. Consider proximity to major roads, hotels, and parking options. Magnolia Springs is centrally located in St. Martinville, Louisiana, making it a prime spot for weddings and events in Acadiana.

2. Venue Capacity and Layout

Make sure the venue can comfortably accommodate your guest count. A space that’s too small can feel cramped, while a venue that’s too large may lack intimacy. At Magnolia Springs, our event spaces seat up to 150 guests with a maximum capacity of 300, offering the perfect balance for intimate gatherings or grand celebrations.

3. Indoor and Outdoor Flexibility

Weather can be unpredictable, so having both indoor and outdoor options is ideal. Magnolia Springs features a beautiful Chapel Ceremony Space, an elegant Reception Hall, and a scenic Outdoor Courtyard, giving you multiple settings for each part of your event.

4. Amenities and Services

A venue that offers built-in amenities can save you time and money. Magnolia Springs provides:
Bridal Suite & Groom’s Lounge for pre-ceremony prep
Signature 360-Degree Bar for seamless guest service
On-Site Coordination to keep your day stress-free

5. Vendor Flexibility and Packages

Some venues require you to use their preferred vendors, while others allow flexibility. Magnolia Springs offers all-inclusive wedding packages but also allows outside vendors, giving you control over your planning process.
