ELOPEMENT OR MICRO

Wedding couple outside rustic barn venue.

All-Inclusive Intimate

Have you ever said or thought, “Let’s just go to Las Vegas, or a Justice of the Peace, and get married?”

Would you REALLY rather spend the money that a big wedding would cost (even if you have it), on something else?

BUT ... THEN, you think about what your parents, other family, or your best friends might think; would they feel hurt, left out?

OR ... you really would like to have the beautiful pictures to look back on that special moment later in life.

WELL ... THIS package just might be PERFECT for YOU!

This package takes care of almost everything except your dress, your partner, and your marriage license. It's a beautiful ceremony where up to 40 people can be included. It’s 20% of the cost for the look and feel of a $9,000 wedding! It’s stress-free.

What it’s not? It’s not an affair that you spend months planning. We setup in the amphitheater, overlooking a pond with fountains; we decorate; we provide an arch, a bridal bouquet, corsages, and boutonnieres; we officiate; we provide bride and groom dressing/waiting rooms; we coordinate and direct; we include a cake reception, music and a “first dance”, and even a “sendoff” with cold sparklers; we take pictures of everything in a beautiful setting. We include the cost of your Event Insurance. The actual ceremony and reception time is an hour and a half. There are very few options (we have you covered), but if you like, you may provide a custom cake topper, your own custom vows, a champaign toast, and/or your own photographer.

You’ll get memorable photos with your loved ones – you CAN have your cake and eat it too!

This package is INTENDED to be a last-minute booking! You can book it as close as this weekend if your date is available!

Investment: $1,800 paid in full at time date is reserved by contract signing

FAQ's and Add-Ons

1. Can I bring my own rentals?

Of course! We provide round tables and resin-wood chairs in all of our wedding packages to make it easier, but you’re welcome to rent different ones from any place you like. The price remains the same.

2. Do I need a professional Wedding Planner?

Designation

The many details of weddings can be stressful, and you may find yourself overwhelmed by them and the problems that can arise; we recommend a professional Wedding Planner, and the Grand Union package requires one. We work with and recommend Donnie Cox, who also manages The Enchanted Florist, but you are welcome to choose another one. That being said, a DIY wedding can also be the perfect way to go for you, and we will support you and do our best to help you make your dream come true.

3. Can I reserve my date?

Designation

Yes, we have a very short Date Retainer Agreement that you can sign after your tour. It requires a $300 non-refundable payment, which will be applied to your total cost when we complete the actual event contract.

4. Can I have additional hours of access and/or additional visits?

Designation

Yes, but the exact times will need to be pre-approved so that there is no conflict with other scheduled events; $150/hour, $50/visit.

5. Do you serve alcohol?

If you prefer to have alcoholic beverages available or served during your event, we offer accommodations for your licensed and insured professional service – setup includes a tented area on the patio, a portable bar with led signs, drink chests, ice for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, utilities, and cleanup. We partner with Thrifty Liquor, but you’re welcome to hire any licensed service that can provide us with a COI. Thrifty Liquor offers a variety of packages, and you can get more info on our Preferred Vendors page. When alcoholic beverages are served, security is provided through the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, 1 officer per 100 guests, at $45/hour.

6. Can we come earlier?

Each package specifies the number of hours included. Extended hours of access are possible at $150/hour.

7. What is the venue capacity?

JD CAMP Event Center has the capacity to serve up to 250 guests.

8. What things do you allow to be used for the couple send-off

We allow you to use fresh or artificial flowers, cold sparklers,
bubbles, or led lighted wands. Cold-spark fireworks can be provided/operated by a professional vendor, who can provide us with a COI, as an add-on. The following items are not permitted: candles, conventional fireworks, gas lanterns, confetti, glitter, silly string, seeds, and rice. Whatever send-off scenarios you’re considering, please let us know in advance for pre-approval.

9. Can we use this space for other events besides weddings?

Absolutely! Please visit our Events to learn more about other options.

10. What are your payment options?

We offer a discounted paid-in-full option, otherwise, we can accept payments in 3 installments. Final payment is due 8 weeks prior to your event date. We accept cash, ACH, or check. We do not accept credit cards.

11. What is your cancellation policy?

If your plans change and you need to cancel for any reason, JD CAMP Event Center retains $300 of your contract price. We also accommodate rescheduling to an open date at no additional charge.

When you purchase your required Event Insurance, you will be offered optional Cancellation Insurance. We recommend that you take advantage of that option.

12. The packages include set up, teardown, and clean up. Can we do this instead?

No, all of our wedding packages include set up, teardown, and cleaning in the price; you are required to bag all trash, place the bags in the rolling bin, which we provide, and remove any leftover food, personal items, and your decorations within the contracted time before leaving.

However, we offer an additional option we call “Stress-Free Finish” for $200. This option makes the closing of your event completely stress free, as our staff will pick up the trash, put away your food, pack and store your decorations, and work with your vendors while you, your spouse, and every one of your guests simply leave whenever you/they are ready; we will meet you for a pickup sometime in the following week, when everyone has recuperated.

13. What kind of music systems do you have?

We have a state-of-the-art sound system that uses vibration, instead of air, to move sound waves. It provides a very even sound across the amphitheater and oftentimes people wonder where the speakers are!

Additionally, a live band stage can be provided adjacent to the patio.

We have DJs to recommend, depending on your preferred music genre, or you can play your own playlist through our very powerful portable speakers. We also have microphones.

14. Do I need an officiant for my wedding?

You are certainly welcome to provide your own officiant, or we can provide the officiant at no extra charge. We do request a copy of your wedding vows on file with us just as a precaution against any unforeseen circumstances that may arise on the day of your wedding; we want to ensure that your special day is perfect.

15. Do you collect a Damage Deposit when I have purchased Event Insurance?

If the event insurance policy you have chosen has a zero-dollar deductible, no damage deposit is required. If your chosen policy has a deductible, a refundable damage deposit, equal to that deductible, is required.

16. Where can out-of-town guests find accommodations?

The nearest hotel, currently, is 13 miles from the center. Under our Preferred Vendors page, you can find a link to an Air B&B that is about 5 miles from the center. It could be rented for out-of-town guests or for the bridal parties or honeymoon stays. At the venue, we have one RV hookup site, and we are setting up 2 more. In addition, we allow fully self-contained RV parking just outside of the venue grounds.
