Is there a hotel block reserved?

We do not have a dedicated hotel block reserved, however, we do recommend a few hotels within 60 miles of our venue on the Location + Travel page.

How do I get to and from the wedding venue?

We recommend driving yourself to the venue, since there are no Ubers or Lyfts in Franklinton. It is about a 1-hour drive through scenic backcountry roads from Hammond and Mandeville to Franklinton. The venue offers a large, free parking lot to guests. For our out-of-town guests, if you have questions about travel please contact us at brandonandmeganswedding@gmail.com.

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony will be held outdoors under a completely covered pavilion and the reception will be held indoors. As the reception hall is immediately connected to the outdoor pavilion, A/C and restrooms will be available at all times to guests. In the event of rain, the ceremony and reception will continue as planned.

What is the dress code?

Cocktail attire:
We would love to see our friends and family get fancy with us! Please wear what makes you look and feel your best and that you’ll be comfortable dancing all night long in. Floor-length evening dresses and elegant cocktail dresses for the ladies and suits or button-up shirts and dress pants for the men.
