The Reception Center

The reception center is the very essence of what the Oak Lodge is all about. Original brick pavers, Tiffany-style chandelier lighting, and the large copper and oak bar elude warmth and character which is like no other venue in Baton Rouge.

A spacious oak dance floor and a large stage are the focal points of the party. The reception center boasts a large outdoor patio and gazebo, as well.

The reception center can accommodate up to 250 guests for a reception-style event, or 180 guests for a sit-down meal.

The Bienville Room

The Bienville Room was added on to the Oak Lodge in 2005.  Special care was given to this new venue so that the themes of comfort and elegance were carried on.  Large chandelier lighting, a copper bar, and high-end décor ensured that the Bienville room was a perfect complement to the Reception Center.



With a wrought-iron staircase, three sets of 8’ glass French doors, and spacious courtyard patios, the Bienville Room boasts a “New Orleans-feel.”  This venue can accommodate up to 120 guests if booked on its own, or it can be combined with our reception center for a party of up to 400 guests.
