Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We are very tight on space and have extended invites only to our closest family and friends. Please be sure to RSVP no later than January 21, 2024. Thank you!

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Your presence is our present.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 5 PM. We suggest arriving by 430 PM.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Semi-Formal Dress Code, Pink Encouraged. Ceremony & Reception will be outdoors. March is usually a very mild-weather month for New Orleans. However, since we will be outdoors a light jacket is suggested. Special Note: We will have a 2nd Line parade between the ceremony & reception. The parade will span about 8 blocks through the French Quarter. The second line will be slow with lots of dancing! You may want to bring a pair of comfortable shoes to change into.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your kiddos, this is an adults-only event.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

YES! Please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions!

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Yes! Please see our Schedule of Events page. We will be hosting a welcome party on Friday night and an after-party directly after the wedding on Saturday. We are ready to celebrate all weekend and would love for you to join us!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is Valet Parking at the venue. Please note that the Marriott (where the wedding room block is) is only 500 feet from W New Orleans and is walkable. Most hotels in the French Quarter or on Canal Street will be a short walk to the W.
