Schedule

Second Line Parade

5:30 pm - 6:00 pm

What is a Second Line? The Second Line parade has a deep history within the city of New Orleans and may be performed for a number of celebrations. When performed for weddings, the Second Line is a celebration of the new life the couple is about to embark on. The parade itself is composed of two parts: the “First Line” and the “Second Line”. The “First Line” consists of the traditional New Orleans Brass Band as well as the Bride and Groom. The “Second Line” consists of family, friends, wedding guests, and any passerby who would like to join in to follow behind the couple. Parade participants walk, dance, and wave handkerchiefs in rhythm to the sound of the brass band as they make their way down the parade route. This, in a nutshell, is “Second-Lining”. Ladies, leave your stilettos at home and opt for a more comfortable block heel or flats. We'll be walking for about 20 minutes!

Reception

6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Cocktail Attire

A Cocktail Reception is the wedding style of choice in NOLA! It's like a cocktail party with passed hors d'oeuvres and meal stations open all night. So while there will be no formally seated dinner, rest assured that food and drinks will be flowing steadily and plentifully throughout the event!
