Greatest wedding of all time?
Serena Williams proved her dominance off the court on Thursday, as she drew a celeb-packed group of A-listers to New Orleans for her nuptials to millionaire Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
The couple was surrounded by a bevy of friends, families and A-listers, including their two-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., as they said their 'I dos' in a Beauty and the Beast themed bash at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans.
Kim Kardashian, Venus Williams, Beyonce, and the members of New Edition, who played a five-song set during the reception, were spotted arriving at the venue's VIP entrance for the biggest celebrity wedding in recent years.
Guests were also gifted one of Williams' unique golden trophy party favors. Each guest table at the event had been named after one of Williams' 12 grand slam titles, and her favors were recreations of the trophies she received for each corresponding title.
Editor-in-chief of Vogue Anna Wintour was seen arriving at the event, with her magazine having an exclusive on the images. Cellphones are reportedly banned from the ceremony.
She was later spotted at the bar for the cocktail reception in a closed-off street outside the Contemporary Arts Center.
Guests, who were told to dress in keeping with the Beauty and the Beast theme, were greeted with the Disney movie's famous song Be Our Guest and offered welcome drinks, a source told ET.
Outside the venue, guests enjoyed a cocktail or champagne on a street closed off to the public. Incongruous with the lavish affair, sources at the scene said that the venue had provided a 'strange porta potty.'
DailyMail.com got photos of original New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant on Thursday.
Bobby Brown will not be attending per a source and when asked for details about the performance, Bivins shouted: 'Got a gag order.'
The group will be just one of the many musical acts on hand for the big night. A brass band was also spotted serenading guests at the cocktails reception.
A source said that Serena wore not one, but two dresses for the occasion, one for the ceremony and one for the reception which was due to last until 3am.
DeWayne Crocker Jr., 21, a Pensacola singer who’s a rising star of gospel, was due to perform while backed up by a New Orleans groups called Restored.
New Orleans funk/jazz band Naughty Professor were also booked to play and the traditional marching brass band Paulin Brothers Brass Band were also due to be in attendance to entertain guests.
