Great venue for a wedding

I do have a lot to say about this venue- both good and bad. I’ll start off with saying that my actual wedding turned out beautiful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better night. The food was great, and the property is amazing.Now for the tough part.We booked this venue for our wedding about a year or so in advance. I think we paid a reasonable price for about 150 guests. From the beginning, Mrs Linda was a bit pushy on decisions she wanted me to make for my wedding, but I brushed it off and continued with what I wanted to do. No big deal! Rehearsal was a breeze and we eventually came back on the Friday to decorate and get things ready. I spoke to the owners a good bit in advance, and they let me know we could set up whatever we needed the day before with no issues! I got to the venue Friday, eager to set up and get things rolling. There was a table my fiancé moved a bit to the left, just to use as a desert table. (This will be important later). We asked to get into one of the outside rooms to set up, a worker said it might be locked and she would check. We waited a few minutes and didn’t see her again, but I noticed the back side door was unlocked, so I just went around to avoid having to take time from them. When I opened the front door, an alarm went off. This is when all hell broke loose. Mrs Linda came out spitting fire at me. She was berating me and getting in my face about moving a table, and saying we “pried her antique doors open” which we did not do in the slightest! I was already stressed )(wedding jitters) and this was just not something I could handle. She continued on to corner me and get in my face, hands and all. My fiancé had to step in. From there, we were all fighting. Her accusing us of things we didn’t do, or didn’t know we couldn’t do, and us trying to explain how things actually happened. When I say we were ALL yelling- I almost took a refund and canceled the wedding. It was really bad. Never in my life have I ever talked to a client or treated a client the way I was (and my whole family) treated by this woman.After things died down, I do believe she apologized to my fiancé and things went very well on the day of the wedding. I just can not shake the fact that she got into my (the brides) face, day before I’m supposed to get married, what should be the happiest time of my life! There was way more yelling and fighting about things, but that about sums it up. I cried five times that day.I really only recommend this venue if you’re okay with basically letting someone else take full control of your wedding for you. If you want to have things your way, please, find another venue!

I recently had a memorial service here for my late brother, Ms.Linda was very sweet and accommodating to open her venue to me and my family during such a hard time and on short notice of course. She offered to cater for us and the staff was nice. Venue was beautiful the day of, food was good; my only issue was when the staff had taken the food away after the service, I asked if they were packing it up for my family to take home or if we needed to do that ourselves, and I was told that Ms. Linda was keeping the food for herself which I thought was very distasteful especially during such a hard time.

A dream come true. If you are looking for perfection this is the venue for you! Our wedding was November 12th and it was more than I could imagine. I literally just had to show up and everything was taken care of for my wedding day. Mrs. Linda went above and beyond to make sure my day was phenomenal! Her attention to detail is impeccable! Price wise, for the quality we got, on top of sensational service and a picture perfect venue is unbeatable! I literally cannot think of one thing I would have changed. Mrs. Linda and Mr. Simon are a joy to be with and treated me as if I were their daughter. There are no words to truly describe how grateful we are for everything they did for us. 10/10 would recommend!

The owners were very sweet. We enjoyed our tour of they're beautiful property. We we're here on vacation from Texas. I did figure we would see more roses ? throughout the gardens. Meaning the name was Antique Rose ville. But all the plants and landscaping was very beautiful. I highly recommend this beautiful place. A special thanks to the very sweet owners for going out of your way to make sure we could visit before we head back home to Texas.

We have wanted to see Avery Island area for some time and found Antique Rose Ville online and it sounded like what we wanted- we avoid typical hotels if at all possible and prefer quiet and beautiful places that are not overrun by too many people. Antique Rose Ville was exactly that. Beautiful gardens, quiet, and a cottage that made our stay perfect. My wife said I hit a home run. Linda and Simon were awesome hosts and were fun to visit with, drink wine, and tell stories. We will definitely go back.

Me and my now husband got married here over the weekend and to say everything was prefect is a understatement. The owners and staff went above and beyond for us. The food was amazing, the staff so polite and helpful. And not to forget the most beautiful atmosphere! It was more then I could ever dream!

The absolute worst place I've ever experienced to have an event. The owners of this place or so rude and unprofessional...literally cursed and insulted when questioned about discrepancies about the event attended. Please do yourself a favor and do not go there or consider having an event there. Please listen to me and stay away.

This is a beautiful, nearly 200 year old house, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Linda, the owner, is a joy and full of great stories. If you’re visiting Iberia parish, this is a must!

We did not get what we were told we would get . Food was not the best and seemed like left overs . And very skimpy for what we paid. Not friendly workers. The person who recommended this place for our group luncheon felt terrible and still apologizes today for that choice. The area is nice though, even without the Christmas decorations we were told would be up. We all left hungry. A table of 6 was to share a little bowl of each dish. Insane!We were told that we would bring leftovers homeWe saw much dessert left . When asked about it, our group was told there was none left. Hmmmm.Very , very disappointed in this place.We were all very disappointed in our lunch experience. Thankfully, we enjoyed our seeing each other .First time we didnt read the reviews before visiting. Guess we should have done so.

This was my second opportunity to host an event with Ms Linda; but my first high tea bridal shower!! It was perfect! She absolutely had every detail perfectly planned and she and her staff were meticulous! The venue is perfect for large or small gatherings, the food is so delish and her attention to detail sets the event up to be flawless every time. Five stars again!!

Just hosted a bridal shower for 40 ladies! This was not only the perfect setting; the staff was meticulous! The food was lovely and every detail was perfectly appropriated and anticipated. I will definitely be hosting all of my events there when possible. Everyone was so delighted and surprised at how perfect the venue was and how amazing all of the food was as well!! Five stars for sure! Ms Linda is the best!
