As of Monday, August 16, 2021, the city of New Orleans is requiring everyone 12 years of age and older entering various facilities (restaurants, bars, gyms, indoor group fitness centers, indoor sports and entertainment venues, reception halls, etc.) to provide evidence of having received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or evidence of a negative COVID-19 test, taken no more than 72 hours prior to entering. This includes the event space where our wedding will take place (The Sheraton Hotel). Please note that the mandate requires PCR tests and these tests often take longer to deliver results. We want our wedding day to go smoothly and for everyone to have a good (and safe) time. Please plan accordingly!

Yes! There is an indoor mask mandate in New Orleans. Please wear your mask indoors unless you are actively eating or drinking.
The Sheraton team members will provide touchless service for food and beverage items.
The Sheraton is taking precautions in the public spaces and we encourage everyone to take social distancing precautions as necessary. Maintaining social distancing of 6ft is still encouraged where lines may be involved (for example, at the Front Desk or at Starbucks). Note that there are sanitizing stations located thru out the public space in the hotel. Guests are encouraged to wash their hands often and thoroughly, for at least 20 seconds.

New Orleans receptions are typically not seated dinners. This reception style consists of numerous passed food items at the start of the reception, open action stations and buffets, with an emphasis on lots of food options, beverages, and a highly dynamic and social atmosphere that allows guests to move freely. The venue will have plenty of high top tables with some sit down seating options open for guests. We want everyone to have a great time. Be sure to bring comfortable dancing shoes!
Cocktail Dresses/Semi-Formal
Unfortunately, due to venue restrictions, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally on your wedding invitation.
While we love your little ones, we are only able to accommodate guests formally included on your wedding invitation. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time, if we could not include your kid(s) on the guest list. Thanks for understanding!
