Travel

The Wedding Website of Emily Dolese and Taylor Grimm

We can’t wait to celebrate with you in New Orleans! We’ve reserved a small hotel block at the Virgin Hotel New Orleans, located in the heart of downtown and close to many of the weekend’s festivities. It's a stylish and comfortable option for guests who prefer a traditional hotel stay. Details on how to book within the block will be shared soon. For those who’d like to stay together as a group—or are looking for more space and amenities like a kitchen—we also recommend exploring some of the vacation rentals available in the city. We’re familiar with several great options through Roami & New Orleans Luxury Collection, which offers apartment-style accommodations in neighborhoods near the hotel. Please note: our wedding weekend falls during a Saints home game—against longtime rivals, the Atlanta Falcons—and also marks the start of the Thanksgiving holiday. Hotels are likely to book up quickly, so we strongly encourage everyone to secure their stay as soon as possible.

House Or Rental

Roami

New Orleans, LA

If you'd prefer to stay in a larger space with a kitchen and room for a group—rather than in a traditional hotel block—Roami is a great and affordable option in the city. Roami offers modern, apartment-style accommodations with hotel-style amenities, perfect for groups or families who want to stay together and enjoy a little extra space and flexibility. Taylor and I have stayed at a Roami property in New Orleans before and absolutely loved the experience—we highly recommend it! The properties are located in vibrant neighborhoods close to the wedding festivities, making it a fun and convenient way to spend the weekend with friends and family. We suggest booking one of the following locations, which are closest to the hotel block and approximately 15 minutes from both the ceremony and reception: The Luzianne, The Lola, Factor’s Row, or The Churchill.
