BATON ROUGE, LA -The 121, a historic event venue in Downtown Baton Rouge, announces the expansion of its offerings to include accommodations and catering services with the neighboring Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center. This collaboration aims to provide a seamless and comprehensive experience for weddings, meetings, and other private events, bringing these two together as the premier one-stop-shop event venue in the region.
Originally built in 1928 and renovated in 2020, The 121 exudes historical charm while offering modern amenities across its 5,200 square feet of space. With intricate New Orleans French Quarter townhouse architecture, including cast-iron details and a picturesque balcony overlooking the Mississippi River, The 121 provides a versatile canvas for gatherings of up to 250 guests. From weddings to corporate functions, its seven rooms, two full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and an array of amenities make it the perfect setting for any occasion. The 121 includes its rich history, flexible venue features, and dedication to providing an exceptional experience for guests. With amenities ranging from gold chiavari chairs to high-tech entertainment options, The 121 ensures that every event is both memorable and flawlessly executed.
To enhance the wedding and event experience, The 121 has introduced newly designed spaces, perfect for creating an intentional atmosphere. These updates include a revamped bridal getting-ready room, complete with all the amenities needed to primp and pamper, such as elegant seating, a full-length mirror thoughtfully arranged to ensure a seamless pre-wedding experience, and a vibrant photo-worthy floral wall. The groom and his party can unwind and bond in the renovated groom’s getting-ready room, featuring a billiard table and comfortable seating. These thoughtfully redesigned spaces ensure that every aspect of wedding preparation is comfortable, convenient, and picture-perfect.
In addition to redesigned spaces, the event and wedding packages and catering menus have been newly curated as well. The Ophelia Package gives brides access to The 121 for eight hours of pre-wedding festivities and includes tasteful catering options while the groom and groomsmen enjoy the Nauman Package for brews with their boys and a game or two of pool on the billiard table. Outside of weddings, catering packages such as Rendezvous Package and Southern Soirée include two hours of continuous catering service with the guests' choice of assorted light bites and main dishes.
In conjunction with this collaboration, The 121 is excited to offer in-house catering services provided by the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center.
