February 1st please so we can provide an accurate headcount to our venue!
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception. We suggest visiting Sittercity.com to find a babysitter (vet all profiles) if you cannot find other accommodations for them. Please reach out if you have questions!
Our wedding ceremony will take place in the grass, a heel that is conducive to walking in grass is recommended. We will also have a 2nd line and will be walking a few blocks, comfortable shoes are recommended.
The Second Line has a deep, rich history in New Orleans. When performed during weddings, it signifies the beginning of a new life for the bride and groom. A Second Line has two parts. The "First line" is usually the band or the ones being honored. The bride and groom, as well as the band would be the "first line" at a Second Line for a wedding. The newly married couple leads the way, usually holding decorated umbrellas or parasols. The guests and anyone else who joins in the celebration are referred to as the "second line". They form a line behind the band and couple, dancing and strutting to the lively music with handkerchiefs or cocktail napkins.
