Halloween Weekend in New Orleans
We’re so excited to celebrate with everyone in one of our favorite cities during one of the most festive weekends of the year! Halloween weekend in New Orleans is lively, energetic, and full of celebrations throughout the city. Because it’s an especially popular travel weekend, we strongly encourage guests to book flights and accommodations early. The city will likely be busy, with higher hotel demand, larger crowds, and extra traffic throughout the weekend. We have reserved a block of rooms for our guests at Hotel Monteleone, just a couple blocks from our wedding venue. See "Hotel Monteleone Room Block Details" for details, discount code, and direct booking link. If you don't want to book directly with the link, you can call and give them the discount code mentioned as well. We've also included other hotel options if Hotel Monteleone isn't your vibe. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all in the middle of the spooky season fun!

Hotel
Grenoble House
We stayed here when we got engaged. They had pretty good prices and were right in the heart of the French Quarter. No need for a rental vehicle if you stay here.
Hotel
Olivier House Hotel
Great balance of charm, location, and price. It has that old New Orleans courtyard feel without feeling overly touristy. Close enough to Bourbon Street to walk everywhere, but usually quieter at night.
Hotel
Hotel St. Pierre
One of the better budget-friendly historic hotels in the Quarter. Older property, a little quirky, but good value if you mainly want a clean, walkable place with character. Near the quieter residential side of the French Quarter.
Hotel
Chateau Hotel New Orleans
Often cheaper than nearby boutique hotels while still being right in the Quarter. Good location near Frenchmen Street and Jackson Square, plus a courtyard pool which is nice in the summer.
