There are a lot of great places to stay all over New Orleans! It is worth noting that our wedding takes place the same weekend as Tulane's graduation, so some hotels are charging "special event" prices. However, there are still plenty of options for hotels and short-term rentals in New Orleans at a variety of price points - see the list below for some of our hotel recommendations! The Quisby - 1225 Saint Charles Avenue Cute, well-loved hotel that also offers more affordable hostel-style accommodations. Around the corner from both of our venues! Book ASAP - this is a smaller hotel, so rooms might go fast. The Lafayette New Orleans by Kasa - 600 Saint Charles Avenue Downtown hotel offering competitive rates and a great location. Virgin Hotels New Orleans - 550 Baronne Street Our favorite New Orleans hotel, though it's unfortunately pretty pricey our wedding weekend. A unique and colorful hotel - sure to be a great stay if you feel like splurging!
Like many cities, rideshares are abundant in New Orleans! For those flying into town, Uber/Lyft and taxis are generally the best way to get to and from the airport (~20 mins) and around town. For travel between venues throughout the weekend, Uber/Lyft is a great option. If you prefer to rent a car or you're driving into town, heads up that parking downtown can be tricky! If you are staying outside of downtown, parking is generally available. Regardless, be sure to check with your accommodation to make sure they have parking available!
May temperatures in New Orleans generally range from lows in the mid 70s to highs in the mid 80s. Our wedding venue, Paradigm Gardens, is completely outdoors. It's a beautiful urban garden with lush New Orleans foliage and flowers (and goats!). If rain is in the forecast, we will have a large tent for the festivities. Check the weather before traveling, and plan outfits that prioritize your comfort :)
