Question
I am not planning to drive to the wedding, how should I get to the venue?
Answer
Wonderful idea, we encourage guests who plan to drink to Uber/Lyft/carpool with a designated driver or take the ferry over. One of the coolest parts of our venue is the ferry location is approximately a 10 minute walk along the levee or through the neighborhood. We also plan to also have transportation from the ferry to the venue as well. Jack and Mason did a test run on the ferry and it is very timely and the ferry trip takes around 5 minutes total. For the ceremony starting at 5pm we do recommend getting on the 4:15 ferry departure to ensure you make it on time to the ceremony.
Question
How do I get tickets for the ferry?
Answer
Cash $2 each way. You can download the Le Pass app where you will be able to digitally purchase tickets for the ferry. Departure from Canal St Ferry Terminal - arriving at Algiers Point Ferry Terminal. The single ride cost $2, therefore if planning to ride there and back $4 total. However you can also purchase a Jazzy Pass 1 day that is $3. If you plan to use the street car or any other public transportation throughout the weekend, we do recommend getting a Jazzy Pass for easier transit.

A second line is a traditional New Orleans celebration, symbolizing life, unity, and transition with a brass band leading us during our stroll. We will be walking to the levee behind our venue, be prepared to walk and dance. We recommend having or wearing your dancing shoes for this portion of the event.
