FAQs

Question

What covid precautions will be in place?

Answer

The wedding ceremony & reception will be completely outside. We anticipate that everyone will be fully vaccinated, if you are not, please wear a mask during all activities. Other activities such as the welcome reception and tea will be indoors, but staff will be vaccinated/masked per our request. There will be outdoor access at the welcome reception as well. The vaccination rate in New Orleans is higher than Louisiana, and as of August 2021, is close to 77.6% among adults. There are also plenty of amazing outdoor restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and the weather in late October is usually really pleasant.
