Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are now ready to take their relationship to the next level. And, it looks like the new parents of baby Alexis Olympia are gearing to get married sooner than expected.

The world's No. 1 tennis player and the co-founder of Reddit are keeping things under wraps about their much-awaited wedding. However, Williams and Ohanian are said to tie the knot at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans on Thursday, Daily Mail reported.

It is expected to be graced by Hollywood A-listers like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kris Jenner, Eva Longoria, Kelly Rowland, Ciara and Meghan Markle. The visitors will receive the final details of the wedding early morning before the event starts.

Allegedly, the couple's dream wedding costs a whopping over $1 million. This will be organized by the known celebrity wedding planner Preston Bailey. An insider told the publication that the two hired only "the best of the best" and are now excited to get married in The Big Easy.

The hall of the Contemporary Arts Center will reportedly be transformed and filled with crystals and flowers. Another source told Us Weekly Williams wants the venue to be packed with "lots of white with pastel accents." All and all, there could be 250 people watching the two take their vows.

Meanwhile, Metro Online reported that Williams has been eyeing to tie the knot in her favorite place, New Orleans. In fact, she was seen taking a private jet with Ohanian to meet their wedding planner last Monday, Nov. 13.

Allegedly, the soon-to-be-married couple and Bailey went to a restaurant called Meril, owned by the celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. There, they talked about the food and the menu that will be served on their wedding day.

They also discussed other important things about the much-awaited event and visited the venue where the romantic ceremony will happen. Williams and Ohanian later went home to their six-week-old daughter, Alexis Olympia, in Florida.
