I'm traveling for the wedding. Where should I stay?
The Paragon Casino Resort or the Hampton Inn & Suites in Marksville. Please see "Travel & Hotels" for more info.
Where will the ceremony be held?
The wedding mass will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church located at 141 S Washington Street, Marksville LA 71351.
Where will the reception be held?
The reception will be held at the Atrium at the Marksville Courthouse Square, located at 313 S Washington Street, Marksville LA 71351.
How far away are the wedding venues from the hotels?
The venues are located about 1.6 miles, or 5-10 minutes, from both the Paragon Casino and the Hampton Inn.
Will there be a shuttle system in place for hotel guests?
Because ride-share apps have not yet made their debut in Marksville, we have arranged for a shuttle to pick up and drop off guests staying at the Paragon Casino and the Hampton Inn. The first shuttle will depart at 5:00 pm for the wedding venue, and space may be limited. The shuttle will run continuously from the reception venue to the hotel.
Is there parking available near your wedding venue(s)?
Yes, there is ample parking available in front of St. Joseph's Church, and across the street from the church at the church hall. The wedding reception venue is .3 miles, or a five minute walk, from the church. There is also ample parking at the reception venue at the Marksville Courthouse and plenty of street parking around the courthouse square.
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will be indoors, and the reception will be quasi-outdoors, as it will take place in a covered atrium and tent.
What is the dress code for the wedding?
The dress code is semi-formal / cocktail. Please refrain from wearing blue jeans.
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
We recommend that guests arrive 15 minutes or so before the official ceremony start time so that everyone can get settled before the proceedings.
Can I bring my kids?
As parents ourselves, we love your kiddos, but due to space and safety restrictions we ask that you refrain from bringing your little ones.
Will there be an open bar?
Duh!
Can I take pictures during the ceremony to post on social media?
We kindly request that you refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. Let's cherish this moment together without distractions, allowing our professional photographer to capture every special moment. At the reception, however, fire away (and send us the pics after!)
Do you have a wedding registry?
Yes! Please see the "Registry" tab above,
Can I bring my gift to the wedding?
Your presence is present enough, but should you wish to bring a gift to our wedding, there will be a gift table for your convenience.
When will the reception end? Will there be an after-party?
Welcome to Marksville, where the reception doesn't end until the last guest leaves. Come and stay for as long as you'd like, whether that's an hour or all night!
Who can I contact with any additional questions?
Reach out to Hannah (318) 240-4714 or Rory (504) 621-8322 if you have any additional questions.
