Arlington Mansion

Arlington Mansion is a historic wedding and event venue in Franklin, Louisiana, set within seven acres of landscaped gardens beside Bayou Teche. Built around 1830, the Greek Revival mansion combines period character with practical facilities for modern celebrations and organised gatherings.

The property offers exclusive use of the mansion, gardens, carriage house and surrounding grounds for weddings and selected private events. Couples can hold ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, engagement parties and wedding photography sessions on site. The venue also provides access to bridal preparation areas, a separate space for the groom and groomsmen, kitchen facilities, Wi-Fi, parking, restrooms, tables, chairs, linens and a dance floor, depending on the selected package.

Arlington Mansion also welcomes a broader range of private and community occasions. Its spaces and grounds can accommodate birthday and anniversary parties, family reunions, work retreats, holiday gatherings, markets, fairs, outdoor concerts, wine tastings, yoga sessions and other group activities. Indoor events can host up to 100 guests, while the outdoor property can accommodate larger gatherings of up to 400 people.

Event organisers can arrange the venue on an hourly basis for private functions, with access to the mansion, gardens, carriage house, dock and extensive grounds. The team can assist with venue coordination, supplier arrangements and event-day logistics, while approved vendor information is available for couples planning weddings. Overnight accommodation, including a honeymoon suite, is also available for selected bookings, making the property suitable for multi-part wedding celebrations, retreats and intimate stays.
