What attire is appropriate for the event?

We are kindly requesting formal attire for the event. For men, a dark-colored suit or tuxedo accompanied with a tie is suggested. For women, an evening gown, elegant cocktail dress, or formal pantsuit are suggested.

I am coming from out of town. Where should I stay?

We suggest looking for reservations on Airbnb and the variety of hotels located in or near Downtown Baton Rouge. Please contact us directly for assistance as we are happy to help find the best place for you to stay.

Are children invited?

Though we love your children, this is an adult-only event, with the exception of our nieces and nephews. We really hope all of you can still attend, so please contact us directly if this may cause your absence.

Is the Reception the same as the After-Party?

No. The Reception will immediately follow the Ceremony, and an After-Party will follow the Reception at a separate venue for those who wish to attend.

Am I invited to the After-Party?

Yes, everyone 18+ is invited to continue celebrating with us at Fred's Bar where we have a private area reserved for our guests only.

How do I get to the After-Party?

Beginning at 9pm, guests will have the option to board a free shuttle bus continuously transporting guests between the Shaw Center and Fred's, with service ending promptly at 1am. This is an effort to prevent driving under the influence, as we want this night to be the happiest, without heartbreak. Please be respectful and courteous to the vehicle/driver we have provided. Uber, Lyft, and Taxi services are also encouraged if you have a different destination. #SeeYouAtFreds

Where do I go when I arrive at the Shaw Center?

If entering the building from Lafayette St, take the elevators on your left to the 4th floor. If entering the building from N 3rd St, take the elevators on your right to the 4th floor. When exiting the elevators, you should see a Welcome sign to your right. Ushers will then direct you to ceremony seating. Don't forget to sign the guestbook on the way in!

Can I take pictures/videos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos/videos during the ceremony, as we have an amazing team of professional photographers and videographers to capture our special moment. We'd rather see your smiling faces in our photos instead of smartphones and digital cameras. Gladly take as many photos/videos at the Reception as you'd like. Thank you!

Is the reception open bar?

Yes! Domestic beers, various wines, champagne, vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, scotch, and tequila will be served, as well as soft drinks/mixers and bottled waters. Don't forget to take care of the bartenders taking care of us!
