Please RSVP by March 1. Thank you!
The wedding ceremony and reception will be held at the same location (The Parlor at the Pontchartrain - 2031 St. Charles Ave., entrance off Josephine St.). The venue is wheelchair accessible.
There is valet parking at The Pontchartrain, and there is plenty of street parking around the venue.
The wedding and reception will be indoors, but we will step outside between the two to have a cocktail and take some group photos.
Yes! Please see our Hotels page for more info and links to book.
No, we will not be providing shuttles as our recommended hotels are either on-site, 1 block from the venue or on the streetcar line for easy access.
Semi-formal/Cocktail attire is preferred.
Since we want to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, we're only inviting our closest loved ones. We look forward to seeing our invited guests soon!
While we love children, we will be enjoying an adults-only weekend (with the exception of our nieces and nephews).
We are having a traditional New Orleans cocktail reception. New Orleans receptions are typically not seated dinners but consist of passed items at the start of the reception, open action stations and buffets during the reception, lots of beverages, and a highly dynamic and social atmosphere that allows guests to move freely about the reception space. Seating is left open for guests to choose their own seats and tables. We will have our first dance at the beginning of the reception, opening the dance floor immediately for everyone's enjoyment. So enjoy the music while you make your food and drink selections. Now that we are together forever, please feel free to sit wherever!
As is the tradition in New Orleans, we will have a cocktail style reception: - Cheese and Charcuterie Display - Mini Muffalettas - Parmesan Truffle Fries - Pretzel Bites - Duck and Andouille Gumbo - Creole Chop Salad - Gulf Shrimp Etouffee - Short Rib Daube with Roasted Potatoes - Eggplant Oyster Dressing - Smothered Green Beans - Oyster Display - Wedding Cake and King Cake
Yes! This is New Orleans, after all :)
