Question

Where is the reception taking place?

Answer

The reception will be held at The House of Blues. Enter in through Big Mama’s Lounge, grab a drink at the bar, and make your way up to the Parish Room. There will be signs posted and security at the door to direct you. It will be entirely indoors.

Question

Where should we park?

Answer

The church has a small parking lot on the premises and there may be street parking available on surrounding streets. We recommend carpooling or taking an Uber if you can. For parking at the reception, The Shops at Canal Place/The Westin parking garage is available for our guests to use. It is located at 333 Canal Street. Download the Premium Parking app on your smartphone and The House of Blues will validate parking. The security guard at the door will give you a code to use in the app.

Question

What’s the weather like in New Orleans around this time of year?

Answer

During October in New Orleans, plan for chilly mornings, gorgeous days in the upper 60’s - mid 70’s, and comfortable nights. The chance of rain is lower in October, but Louisiana weather can be unpredictable so pack extra shoes. A light jacket may be necessary for night time.

Question

What do we do after the reception?

Answer

After the reception, we will second line out of the building as a New Orleans tradition. Where you go from there is up to you! All guests are welcome to join us for an after party at the Butler residence at 1820 Frenchmen St., hit up any of the countless local bars, or retire to your hotel/Airbnb.
