Question

What is the attire for the evening?

Answer

Our ceremony and reception will be cocktail attire. For women, this can include cocktail dresses and midi dresses. For men, a suit or dress pants with a sports coat and a button-down shirt works perfectly. Ties are optional, but welcome! If feasible, guests are encouraged to add a touch of spring to their outfits. Pastels, florals, and bright, cheerful shades are perfect for our celebration!

Question

Where should we park for the ceremony?

Answer

For guests staying overnight in a hotel, we recommend utilizing Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare service for transportation to the church, as parking in the French Quarter can be challenging. For guests joining us for the day or guests who choose to drive, we recommend utilizing the public parking at the reception venue. While this lot is approximately a five-minute walk to St. Mary’s Church for the ceremony, it will provide convenient access when departing the reception. This lot is located at 433 St. Peter St. (Premium Parking Lot P407). Street parking is also available by the ceremony and reception venues, but will likely be limited.

Question

Will transportation be provided between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Following the ceremony, we invite you to join us in a traditional New Orleans–style second line parade leading to the reception venue. We will provide transportation for those who are unable to walk with us.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask guests to arrive at St. Mary’s Church 20–30 minutes prior to the ceremony. This will allow time to park, find seating, and ensure the celebration begins promptly.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

To ensure we can accommodate all of our guests comfortably, plus ones have been reserved only for those indicated on your invitation.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

To accommodate our venue’s capacity, we kindly ask that only the guests listed on your invitation attend. We appreciate your understanding!
