Working with the Media

Oak Alley Plantation welcomes and encourages travel writers and journalists to visit us when in and around the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area. With proper credentials, members of the press are allowed complimentary admission and are provided with a press kit and any other information (slides, brochures, etc.) needed.

Please contact Debra Mayhew (dmayhew@OakAlleyPlantation.com), prior to your visit so that she may make the necessary arrangements. We do ask that journalists forward us a copy of their finished piece after publication so that we may keep our files current.

Oak Alley has also been included in many documentaries and features on the area produced by domestic and international film crews. Again, we welcome and encourage film crews to include Oak Alley when in the area. All filming must be scheduled prior to arrival by calling Debra Mayhew, and is based on availability. Due to the number of visitors we see each day, it is sometimes impossible to guarantee that footage can be acquired without people in the shot. All crews must work around our daily tours and our visitors, but we will try to accommodate our film crews as much as possible.

Location Filming Fees and Commercial Uses of Oak Alley

Advertising rates for fashion and catalog photography are negotiable on an individual basis. Location fees for commercial productions and motion pictures also should be discussed on an individual basis by contacting Zeb Mayhew, Administrative Director (zmayhew@OakAlleyPlantation.com).
