FAQs
Question
What's a “New Orleans Style" reception?
Answer
Great question! Receptions in New Orleans are typically not seated dinners, but consist of passed hors d’oeuvres, open action stations and display stations with emphasis on lots of food, lots of drinks, and a highly dynamic and social atmosphere. Seating is left open to allow our guests to mingle with everyone. Everything else will feel pretty familiar—great music, lots of dancing, and good times all around!
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
Although we love your little ones, we are having an adults-only wedding. The only children attending are those who are part of our wedding party. If anyone needs help making arrangements for child care, please let us know and we will do our best to assist.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Black-Tie Optional: Dress up as much as you want.
Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
Only if you want to! But we've planned our wedding so that everything is in the downtown/French Quarter area, so everything is a walk or quick Uber/Taxi ride away.
Question
Will transportation be provided to the ceremony?
Answer
No, given that large buses/shuttles aren't allowed in the French Quarter we will not be providing transportation. Ubers and taxis are widely available.
Question
What's the weather like in New Orleans in December?

Question
What's a second line?
Answer
One of the most popular traditions during New Orleans weddings is the famous Second Line. At a wedding, it’s a small parade that signifies the start of a new beginning for the bride and groom. A brass band plays while the newly married couple leads the bridal party and guests. (We won't be going far!) All guests who want to join in the celebration make up the parade and form a line behind the band and the bride and groom, dancing and strutting to the lively music with handkerchiefs or cocktail napkins!
