Steamboat Jazz Cruise

11:00 am - 1:30 pm

Let us treat you to a classic New Orleans activity! Join us for a steamboat cruise up the Mississippi River with narrated history of New Orleans' ports and a live jazz band. Lunch will be provided on the boat. Embark and disembark at the French Quarter. Please be sure to arrive before 11am so that you can make it on board! This is a child-friendly event.

Ceremony & Reception

5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Our ceremony and reception are at an outdoor setting at Audubon Park with a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces. Dinner will be provided. Attire is dressy casual. New Orleans weather can still be quite warm and humid at the end of September, please plan accordingly. We love your little ones, but our vision is to have an intimate, adults-only celebration, with the exception of children that have special roles in our ceremony. Newman Bandstand is toward the SE corner of Audubon park, near the Golf Club at Audubon Park parking lot. Parking will be limited, therefore carpooling and/or rideshare is recommended. Drop-offs can enter the parking lot from Magazine Street. If riding the streetcar, disembark at St. Charles at Exposition (NE corner of Audubon park) and walk along the Audubon Park Trail south toward the Bandstand, veering right at the south end of the lagoon (~15 minutes).

Seafood Boil Lunch

11:00 am - 2:00 pm

We will be at the picnic pavilion on the north side of Lakeshore Drive, east of London Avenue Canal. There is no address for this property, please copy and paste the link into your browser: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3CBBNXBSMuDgkH7d6
