Things To Do

Nottoway Resort

Nottoway is a very well-known attraction in the area. It is roughly a ten minute drive from the church where we will be getting married. Unfortunately, they are unable to provide tours at this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is a beautiful sight to see even if it is just a drive by!

Fat Daddy's

Fat Daddy’s is a true Plaquemine staple. Fat Daddy’s is not open on weekends, so make sure you stop in on Friday for lunch for a pre-wedding poboy! Kevin and I both love the Sharon’s Special.

Plaquemine Lock State Historic Site

Madonna Chapel - “The Smallest Church in the World”

Signs for Madonna Chapel along River Rd. proclaim it to be the "Smallest Church in the World." At 8 ft. x 8 ft., with five chairs, it was once illustrated as an oddity in Ripley's Believe It of Not. It was built in 1903 by Anthony Gullo, a poor sugar farmer, after he successfully prayed to the Virgin Mary for the recovery of his eldest son. Mass is held once a year on August 15 to celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Mother. There should be a key in the box by the door if you’d like to take a peek inside. Don’t drive too fast, because you might miss it!

Iberville Museum

Learn a little Iberville Parish history at The Iberville Museum! The Iberville Museum Association is dedicated to preserving and promoting Iberville Parish’s heritage and culture. Iberville is one of Louisiana’s oldest Parishes and is named in honor of Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, a French explorer. The Museum is open Tuesday to Friday from 10am-4pm. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children (ages 6-12).

Istrouma Brewing

Istrouma Brewing is located in Saint Gabriel, right across the Mississippi River from Plaquemine. You can get to the brewery by hopping on the Plaquemine Ferry, which can take you across the river. Grab a brew and some good food! Istrouma is open on Thursday from 4pm-9pm, Friday and Saturday from 11am-9pm, and Sunday from 11am-7pm.

Roberto's River Road Restaurant

Louisiana State University

Check out both Kevin and Bailey’s alma mater! LSU is about a 25 minute drive from Plaquemine. Be sure to visit Mike the Tiger at his habitat near Tiger Stadium!
