Question

What is a "traditional New Orleans Reception?"

Answer

We love our food, drink and dancing down here so New Orleans receptions are typically not seated dinners. Instead, they have passed appetizers and plenty of buffet stations. This gives us more room to socialize and dance the night away. Drinks are flowing the whole night and you can take your drink with you when we secondline!

Question

What is a Secondline?

Answer

Wedding Secondlines are common in NOLA as a means to celebrate and parade through the streets with the newly weds! They are led by the newly wed couple and a brass band. Guests are encouraged to participate and people on the street may even join in the fun We will be doing a Secondline at the end of our reception and would love for y'all to join us! We will have handkerchiefs for all guests to help us sashay into our new life together We do highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes since it will be a bit of a walk and the streets and sidewalks are a "tad "uneven in New Orleans.
