We had a blast at Albany Plantation. We had a party there, and believe it or not we had no clue Hammond Louisiana had a party location with so much land and large balconies. The service was great, and they really made me feel like I was part of the family. If your looking for the perfect venue to throw your wedding or event, Albany Plantation is definitely Louisiana's best plantation to host what ever event your planning. We was going to drive to a New Orleans or Baton Rouge location, but after doing the math and seeing how much we were going to save and how much they offered. It was a obvious
