As a Mississippi-based wedding photographer, I often travel to Louisiana for weddings. Many times, my couples ask about local venues. One of my absolute favorites is Milićević Farms in Abita Springs. Located nearby Covington, LA, this venue is an absolutely stunning place to be married! My jaw dropped the first time I stepped foot on this beautiful farm.
About Milićević Farm in Abita Springs, Louisiana
Planning a wedding is exciting and overwhelming. Choosing the perfect venue sets the tone for an unforgettable day. Milićević Farm in Abita Springs, Louisiana, offers a picturesque and charming setting. Located just outside of Covington, LA, the Milićević family’s story starts in the vineyards of Hercegovina, where their passion for winemaking first took root. After decades of perfecting traditional techniques, they brought their craft to this charming corner of Louisiana, blending old-world heritage with the lively spirit of the South.

The Ceremony Spaces for Your Milićević Farm Wedding
Outdoor
Milićević Farm is known for its breathtaking landscape. The vineyard stretches across acres of pristine land, creating a serene atmosphere. Towering oak trees provide shade, while open fields offer endless possibilities for an outdoor ceremony. The natural beauty makes decorations minimal, allowing nature to shine.
Exchange vows among the vines for an unforgettable experience. For example, the vineyard provides a peaceful and intimate setting. Rows of grapevines frame the ceremony space, adding rustic elegance. Moreover, as the sun sets, the golden light enhances the vineyard’s beauty, making for stunning wedding photos.
The venue combines rustic charm with modern amenities. One on hand, couples can enjoy a cozy yet sophisticated space with indoor and outdoor options. For example, the vineyard offers a magical setting for an intimate ceremony or cocktail hour. Whether you dream of a bohemian, vintage, or classic wedding, Milićević Farm can accommodate your vision. The venue’s versatility allows for personalization. Elegant floral arrangements, rustic wooden tables, or chic drapery transform the space into your dream setting. With this in mind, the farm provides a neutral canvas for any wedding theme.
For outdoor, some couples choose to marry in front of the arch and the small lake. Another very chic option is the all white mantle outdoor fireplace. In any case, either one makes for a great ceremony set up with that as a backdrop!
