Catering, styling and vendor services
Wedding packages at L'Auberge include an on-site floral shop and full-service catering staff; the resort lists capabilities for both large weddings and more intimate events. Food and beverage are contracted through the resort's catering team rather than bundled into room rates.
For styling, the resort's spa/salon (Azalea Spa & Salon) and local vendors can provide hair, makeup and pre-wedding treatments; Spa du Lac also manages appointments and has age restrictions (18+ for spa services).
- On-site services: catering and an on-site floral shop
- Salon: Azalea Spa & Salon operates on-site for hair, nails and makeup
- Confirm timing and delivery access with events team (loading areas, vendor arrival windows, and setup/breakdown rules)
Guest rooms, room blocks and spa/amenity considerations
Room types available for blocks are named Luxury Room, Executive Room and Luxury Smoking Room. The resort tower has approximately 995–1,000 rooms and on-site suites; sleeping rooms and blocks for wedding guests are handled through the events or reservations team.
A nightly resort fee covers Wi‑Fi, fitness-center access, in-room bottled water and pool access; parking (self and valet) is complimentary. Note the property's pet policy if guests plan to bring dogs (non-refundable fee and limits apply).
- Room names to reference when requesting blocks: Luxury Room, Executive Room, Luxury Smoking Room

- Pet policy: well-behaved dogs allowed for a non-refundable fee (maximum two dogs per room); service dogs exempt
Timing, logistics and practical planning points
Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM; the person making the reservation and checking in must be at least 21. If you need late or early arrivals for vendors, confirm access windows with the events team and the front desk.
Because the resort includes age-restricted areas (casino 21+, spa/fitness 18+), plan guest access accordingly for welcome events or after-parties. Confirm noise policies, event curfews and any required permits for outdoor ceremonies on The Terrace.
- Confirm vendor load-in times and service elevator access with events services
- Coordinate spa appointments (Spa du Lac) for wedding party; spa services require guests 18+
- Ask event manager about cabana reservations, pool access for photo opportunities, and lighting for evening outdoor ceremonies
- For airport logistics: Lake Charles Regional Airport (LCH) is the closest airport; rideshare or car rental are common — verify transport options for guests
