Summer Formal June in New Orleans is hot, so dress to look sharp and stay cool! Men: Suits — Summer fabrics are welcome if you have them (linen, seersucker, or lightweight wool). Women: Cocktail or formal midi dresses — festive and fun. After the ceremony, we’ll second line through the French Quarter to the reception — a short parade, so choose shoes you can walk and dance in!
No buses are needed — everything is walkable in the French Quarter. After the ceremony, we’ll second line from the Cathedral to the reception.
A second line is a unique New Orleans tradition: a brass band parade where guests dance and follow the bride and groom through the streets. Just bring your dancing shoes and party spirit — we’ll provide handkerchiefs for waving!
Yes. We will be celebrating a Catholic wedding Mass at St. Louis Cathedral. The service will include prayers, readings, music, and the celebration of the Eucharist (Communion). Guests who are not Catholic are warmly welcome to attend and participate in the prayers and songs. During Communion, you may either remain seated or come forward for a blessing. The Mass will last about one hour. Don’t worry about knowing when to sit, stand, or kneel — the priest will guide everyone.
No, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. If you are traveling with kids, we’re happy to help connect you with trusted local babysitters.
Guests will be named on the invitation. If your invitation includes a plus-one, you’ll see their name there.
