Question

Will there be any COVID protocols in place?

Answer

At this time, New Orleans has mandated that all guests show proof of vaccination or negative Covid test* before entering the venue. For the safety of all guests, we intend on following all city guidelines and mandates. This rule applies to all restaurants, bars, and event venues in the city. So, if you plan on staying a while (which you totally should!) be prepared to be asked for proof wherever you go.

Please ensure you provide us with your email address when RSVPing so that we can keep you up to date on any protocols that may be implemented last minute. We promise to keep you posted so you know exactly what to expect should anything change. *NOTE: As of October 27, businesses are now allowed to accept antigen tests in addition to PCR. https://ready.nola.gov/incident/coronavirus/safe-reopening/

Question

What's a second line?

Answer

One of the most popular traditions during New Orleans weddings is the famous second line parade. At a wedding if signifies the start of a new beginning of life for the bride and groom. A Brass band leads the bridal party and the guests from the ceremony to the reception venue or it may take place at the reception itself. A second line parade has two parts. The first line is usually a brass band and the ones being honored, the newlyweds. The newly married couple leads the second line holding uniquely decorated umbrellas or parasols. All of the guests who want to join in the celebration make up the second line. The guests form a line behind the band and the newly married couple dance to lively music with handkerchiefs or cocktail napkins in hand!

Question

No, but there is a pay-to-park lot next to the venue. However, we think it may be cheaper, easier, and safer to use a car service such as Uber or Lyft.
