We recommend looking at Memphis International Airport (MEM). It is a 1 hour and 30 minute drive into Clarksdale. Another option is the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) in Little Rock, AK. The drive from LIT to Clarksdale is roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes.
We recommend renting a car at the Memphis International Airport. If you know friends or family are also planning to attend, coordinating a time to make the trip together would be great!
Downtown Clarksdale is a very walkable area with plenty of parking. Uber and Lyft are typically unavailable. We recommend having a car available to get around town.
The ceremony and following reception is at the Cutrer Mansion at 109 Clark St, Clarksdale, MS 38614, United States.
The ceremony begins promptly at 7:00 PM CST. Please plan to arrive early so you may be seated prior.
Please enter property on at the Delta Avenue entrance next to the gymnasium building in which the wedding and reception will take place. Drop off will take place at the front door of the building. There will be parking attendants on site who will direct you and assist in parking.
We recommend looking at Airbnbs near downtown Clarksdale or the Hampton Inn. The Hampton Inn is about a 5 minute drive to downtown.
The weather forecast looks to have rain throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Please stay dry- we can’t wait to see and celebrate with you all!
The dress code for the wedding is cocktail attire. We look forward to seeing everyone looking sharp!
Absolutely! Clarksdale is a truly unique town with good places to eat and enjoy the Delta culture. We have compiled a list in the section titled "Things To Do." Some personal favorites of Katherine and Devin include the pulled pork sandwich from Abe's BBQ, the coconut cream pie from Rest Haven, the fried shrimp from Ramon's, and a beer flight from Red Panther. We also recommend checking out the Mississippi Delta Blues Museum to learn abut the region's rich music history and Cat Head Delta Blues and Folk Art for some fun shopping.
If you get into town early or plan to stay later, we recommend visiting McCartys Studio for great pottery in Merigold, MS (35 minute drive) and the Grammy Museum Mississippi in Cleveland, MS (45 minute drive). If you visit Cleveland, MS, be sure to try top 50 rated in the world pizza restaurant Leña Pizza + Bagels!
We recommend trying some great BBQ spots like Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous, Central BBQ, or The Bar-B-Q Shop to try spaghetti BBQ. There are many excellent museums in Memphis to check out including The National Civil Rights Museum, Elvis Presley's Graceland, Sun Studio, and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. If you would like to see the largest pyramid in the United States, even larger than Long Beach's, the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid has you covered!
Most places accept credit cards, but some juke joints and restaurants may require cash.
