In traditional New Orleans fashion this will be a Cocktail Reception, meaning - while there will be no formally seated dinner - food and drinks will be flowing steadily and plentifully throughout the event in the form of passed appetizers and meal stations. Additionally, while there will be no assigned seating there will be plenty of tables and chairs for all! Before you think about heading home for the night, don't miss out on the traditional New Orleans send off for the newly weds. Don't forget to bring your comfortable shoes!
10:00 pm
Attire suggestions: Comfortable shoes
Immediately after the reception join us for a second line parade through the French Quarter! A Second Line is a popular New Orleans Tradition. A brass band will lead us through the streets as we dance and sing along. Once we arrive at the location of the after party you are free to call it a night or continue celebrating with us.

The second line will leave us at the after party location. Feel free to stay for the celebration or call it a night.

We have booked a private swamp tour including transportation to the swamp from the French Quarter.

Water and beer will be provided. Looking forward to seeing you then!
