Milićević Farm & Vineyard Venue — Attraction in Abita Springs

Hands down, this is the easiest review I will ever write. With the venue being fairly new, it’s truly a “hidden gem” on the Northshore. I can picture this venue 5 years from now being booked all weekend, every weekend of the year.

Our wedding was on October 15, 2022 and we booked the venue in September of the previous year. We toured 6 different venues across New Orleans and the Northshore for our big day. We fell in love with Milićević Farm & Vineyard Venue for so many reasons I can’t even count. Most importantly, not a single thing went “wrong” on our wedding day (like everyone was telling us to prepare for). The owners of the venue and coordinators are all so hands on and detail oriented through the whole process. We could tell they truly did care about making sure our day was perfect! Kim and Ivan have created a beautiful, perfectly thought out, one of a kind venue - I would easily say this is the most beautiful wedding ceremony and venue space in Louisiana! Taylor, the Sales Director, was also one of our Day of Coordinators, has now become a friend though the whole process. She is so thoughtful, kind and really makes sure everything goes to plan! The bustle on my dress came undone a few times during the reception (due to how heavy the satin fabric was on my dress), and Taylor was at my side making sure it stayed secured! Laurie was a huge help and also made sure our day was perfect. The bartenders and other day of staff were great.

The venue is spacious, so aesthetically pleasing you hardly need any additional decor, and really has every detail you could possibly want. There are multiple options for your ceremony (both inside and outside). The food was amazing and they hosted a beautiful food tasting event prior to our wedding.

What makes them different than the other venues we toured and received quotes from? The hospitality, you’re able to rent the bridal and groom suite for the entire day, on site bridal and grooms suite with lunch provided, massive wedding guest bathrooms (no lines), two bar locations (also no lines), ability to set up for the reception/ceremony the day before (if there’s no wedding), sparkler exit (most venues don’t allow), month of wedding coordinator, plenty of onsite parking, rentals and tons of add-on options… I can go on and on.

As far as pricing, you pay for what you get! This is a world class facility with phenomenal service and amenities. It’s worth it and we couldn’t change anything about our day! We received quotes from 10+ wedding venues in South Louisiana and these prices are fair and competitive with similar venues.

Our only concern when planning was the distance of the venue from the Covington Hotels. On the wedding day everything was smooth. We had a hotel block at the Courtyard Marriott in Covington and had a shuttle after the wedding for the bridal party and guests to take back. Highly recommend. Low cost and worth no one having to drive 20 minutes back to Covington post wedding.

If you’re considering, please go tour!

THANK YOU MFV for hosting our...

Looking for a venue that can accommodate your next wedding? Look no further. Let's dive in.

For starters, Milićević farms is nestled on beautiful land; with vineyards and animals sprinkled throughout. Additionally, the main building for the venue is gigantic and located centralized withen the perimeter. On top of this, There are several additional structures around the property that can serve other purposes as needed.

The venue consists of several amenities that you would need for a great wedding. A seperated bride and groom suite that can connect upstairs with a balcony, but, also join together downstairs for the processional. The room for the processional of note does have a fantastic sliding barn door. A outdoor and indoor bar. Plenty of room around the main room for a band, confessional, food, and any other idea you might want to bring to the occasion.

The staff, wedding planners, and food service were also outstanding and deserve equally as much praise as the complex itself. Everyone was extremely helpful in helping the families create their perfect wedding. Staff we dealt with had great attitudes and were extremely professional. Food wise, The shrimp and grits were some of the best I have ever had. The kale ceasar salad was also a standout. Of note, the bride and groom suite were supplied with food throughout the day which was included in the base price.

Overall, I can't put into words enough how smooth the wedding went. One of the best I have attended and was proud to also be a part of. I have attended several weddings in my lifetime and can easily say this was the best, which, to be honest, I can thank the staff at Milićević farms for...

Beware! We booked a wedding venue here and unfortunately the groom backed out 7 months before the wedding crushing my daughter’s heart. After paying the non refundable deposit of $3,969, we paid two additional payments for a total of $23,818.98. Even after sending a certified letter of cancellation, Milicevic refused to refund any of the payments, even the $14,798 of extra charges and fees. I do not believe their policy follows LA law pertaining to refunds of payments. I will continue to attempt to recoup my payments as per LA law. No, I definitely do not recommend anyone using this venue with no compassion although I know it is not their daughter or...
