Gather. Celebrate. Stay.

Baton Rouge’s Boutique Luxury Venue with New Orleans Soul

Elegant table setting with a round table covered in beige cloth, floral centerpiece with pink and white flowers, surrounded by gold chairs with white cushions, set near large brick windows with cream curtains, in a rustic-modern interior with brick walls, wooden floor, and industrial ceiling.

A Storied Space

Built in 1928, The 121 is a historic French Colonial venue in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, with French Quarter–style ironwork, exposed brick and original wood floors. Today, two floors of historic charm and a balcony overlooking the Mississippi River welcome weddings, social celebrations and corporate gatherings of up to 250 guests. When the celebration ends, the story continues: overnight accommodations let you and your guests stay a little longer in a private retreat in the city.

“The 121 was perfect for our event! This building is absolutely beautiful and the decor is perfection. They made the process super easy and seamless. We were able to use catering of our choice, which I personally think is great and set up tables/chairs how we wanted to. There is also an option for security to ensure safety. I highly recommend the 121 for your next function!”
