Yes! 🎉 We plan to keep the celebration going by heading to the nearby Cork Wine & Martini Bar (formerly Shenanigans Kitchen & Cocktails). The after-party will run from after the reception until 2:00 AM, with a DJ keeping the music and dancing going. Everyone is encouraged to join us and keep their dancing shoes on! Address: 4612 Quincy St, Metairie, LA 70006 ~3 blocks from the Balcony Ballroom (3 min drive)
We love your kiddos, but the reception will be a night for just the adults!
We would love to see everyone in cocktail or semi-formal attire! For men, this means a suit and tie or a blazer with dress pants, while women might wear a cocktail dress, midi-length dress, jumpsuit, or dressy separates.
No, there will not be transportation from St.Anthony of Padua to the Balcony Ballroom. There will be parking at both locations; however, we highly encourage everyone to utilize Uber from the reception to your final destination if you plan on drinking alcohol. Please do not drink and drive :)
