Wedding Day Prep: Look Your Best for the Big Day
Before the groom says, "I do," make sure the guys are looking sharp. Ridgeland has everything you need to suit up and get groomed in style.
Kinkade's Fine Clothing
Whether you’re renting or buying, Kinkade’s offers top-tier suits and tuxedos to make sure the groom and his groomsmen look their absolute best. Their expert staff will help with fittings and ensure everything is tailored to perfection.
Tuxedo Junction
Tuxedo Junction has the largest in-store stock of tuxedos and suits in the state of Mississippi. Unlike their competition, they don't ship all the tuxedos or suits in; therefore, they can exchange sizes and styles at the last minute. No need to worry about the out of town guy. When he arrives, if it doesn't fit – another complete tuxedo or suit same day!
Noble Barber
Keep things classy with a fresh haircut, beard trim, or straight-razor shave at the Noble Barber, located in The Township at Colony Park. This upscale barbershop provides a relaxing atmosphere where the guys can unwind and get wedding-day ready. Did we mention they also serve craft beer?
Where to Eat: Feast Like Kings
No guys’ weekend is complete without indulging in the best food Ridgeland has to offer.
On the Water
Feeling hungry? Take a pit stop and enjoy the sparkling waters of the Rez’ (that’s what the locals call the Barnett Reservoir). Two Ridgeland staples, Cock of the Walk with its famous golden fried catfish, old riverboat era atmosphere, and cornbread flipping entertainment and Pelican Cove Grill with its signature drinks, hot eats, and lively deck, call the shores of the Reservoir home.
In Town
Over 150 restaurants are weaved through Ridgeland. Many of which are premier fine-dining steakhouses. So many that we have been named the "Steakhouse Capitol of Mississippi". Take your pick from newer eateries or classic Ridgeland staples like Koestler Prime or Tico's.
No matter what you’re craving, Ridgeland is a destination for dining well any time of day!
