FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by April 25. Your timely response helps us finalize our plans, including seating and catering. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to Gemma or Steve.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we love your children, our wedding is an adults-only affair. Children under 18 are not permitted at the ceremony or reception.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is black tie optional. We recommend tuxedos or dark suits with ties for men, paired with dress shirts and polished dress shoes, and formal gowns, cocktail dresses, or elegant separates for women. To maintain the event's formality, please no jeans, shorts, sneakers, or overly casual footwear.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly suggest arriving 30 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow for seating and to prepare for the service. Please be advised that latecomers may not be admitted in order to maintain the sanctity of the ceremony.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unfortunately, due to space limitations, we simply cannot permit all of our guests to bring a guest of their own. Unless they are specifically named on the invitation, we ask that our guests not bring a plus one.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

While we will do our best to accommodate dietary allergies, please understand that we cannot guarantee complete allergen-free meals. If you have any specific allergies, please let us know at your earliest convenience so we can make every effort to accommodate you.

Question

Will there be transportation to the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes! We will have a shuttle departing from the New Orleans Marriott at 5:15 PM to take guests to both the ceremony at St. Anthony of Padua and the reception at Southern Oaks afterwards. The shuttle will also provide two return trips to the hotel at 10:30 PM and 12:30 PM. The shuttle has limited capacity (50 seats), so we kindly ask that out-of-state guests be given priority. If you're local to Louisiana and able to drive or carpool, we’d be so grateful for your help in making space for those traveling from afar. Thank you for understanding!
