Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We recommend 12:30 pm.
Question
How should I get to the ceremony?
Answer
We suggest ubering or taking lyft, as the reception will have an open bar! If you are staying at the Royal Sonesta (with our hotel block), you could also take the streetcar down Canal St directly to the church! A single one-way ride costs $1.25, and exact change is required. This will take about an hour, though, so you would need to leave the hotel around noon to make it to the ceremony on time. You also need to make sure that you board a streetcar that is "Canal Streetcar - Cemeteries," not "Canal Streetcar - City Park" or you will not be going to the church.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
St. Anthony of Padua has a free parking lot behind the church. The Capulet has free street parking around the venue.
Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly request that guests do not take photos during the event. We have professional photographers to capture every moment so we can unplug and enjoy!
Question
Do you have a wedding registry?
Answer
Yes, we have a wedding registry! You can find all the details on the Registry page of our website!
Question
Will there be alcohol?
Answer
Yes, we will have an open bar for all of our guests to enjoy complimentary drinks throughout the event.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
After the second line, we’ll continue the celebration with a stroll down Bourbon Street, bar-hopping our way back toward the hotel. We’ll end the night with a casual gathering in a Bourbon balcony suite — ask a member of the bridal party for the suite number if you’d like to join us!
