Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

Please submit your RSVP by October 5. Please submit your replies via the RSVP tab on this site!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 6 PM, so please plan to arrive a little early to take your seats before then.

Question

What COVID safety measures will be taken?

Answer

We want every single one of our guests to have a safe and enjoyable evening at our wedding. As such, we will be following all active COVID vaccination/testing mandates and protocols, as required by the City of New Orleans. Currently, this includes requiring proof of vaccination or negative PCR test, taken within 72 hours of the event, so please be prepared to show your documentation. While we understand the decision to vaccinate is a personal one, we strongly encourage any of our guests who can get the vaccination to do so, and we understand if you choose not to join us on our day if you do not wish to observe the vaccination/testing mandate.

Question

Where can I find the most up-to-date information of New Orleans COVID protocols and restrictions?

Answer

The most up-to-date COVID response and restrictions for the city of New Orleans can be found on the NOLA Ready website (ready.nola.gov). Please check that website closer to the wedding to understand any mandates that may impact your visit to New Orleans. Any updates that will impact our wedding will also be updated on our website (on the banner at the top of each page). Please check back here for updates closer to the event.

Question

Can I bring my kids or a plus-one?

Answer

While we would love to accommodate everyone, we do have a limited number of guests who can join us. Please search your name on our RSVP page to confirm who is included in your party's invitation.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

While there is no free parking associated with our venue, there are public pay lots nearby in the French Quarter, if you do choose to drive. The closest lots are located on Decatur & Toulouse or Decatur & St. Peter. If you are local or staying nearby, we highly recommend walking or rideshare services to avoid the hassle and parking fees.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress code is cocktail attire. Please note that the ceremony will be taking place outdoors on the balcony (weather permitting), so please be sure to take the temperature into consideration. Temperatures in New Orleans can vary quite a bit in November!

Question

What food will be served at the reception?

Answer

Dinner at our reception will include hand-passed hors d'oeuvres and station options including some classic New Orleans including gumbo and oysters! If you have any concerns about food allergies that need to be communicated to our venue beforehand, please write it on your RSVP or let Dexter or Kelly know directly.
