Ceremony

The ceremony will be held outside in the courtyard. In the case of inclement weather, there will be a tent, but you may want to bring an umbrella or jacket.
Second Line Parade
5:00 pm
514 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
We will be celebrating our marriage with an authentic New Orleans tradition that predates the Civil War—a second line. When performed during weddings, the brass band processional signifies the start of a new beginning of life for the bride and groom. We will be leading the way in the "first line" with the wedding party and the band. The "second line" refers to the guests and onlookers who want to join the parade through the French Quarter. We will have drinks ready at the Pharmacy Museum to grab before we head out the door and start the second line. The parade will last about a half hour at a slow pace as we walk towards the pickup location. Guests will then be transported to the wedding reception venue, The Chloe.
Cocktail Reception
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Cocktail Attire
There will be a cheese and charcuterie board and two chef's stations, but there will not be a formal sit-down meal. We will be serving blackened gulf lemon fish with warm crab, fennel, and citrus salad and slow-cooked pork shoulder jambalaya. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions. We will remind you to eat, so you don't black out. The rest is up to you. Dancing will be outside weather permitting.
