While we absolutely LOVE the little ones, we regretfully cannot include them at the wedding due to size constraints. Plus, we really want you to be able to have a great time, relax, and let loose as we celebrate together!

Reception-Style Weddings: New Orleans weddings are essentially one massive party, so tradition is to have a cocktail-style reception (think festive food stations and no formal seating chart). This maximizes the amount of time that people can spend partying on the dance floor - we promise you'll love it! Second lines: We love any excuse for a band and parade. When you see us marching around with umbrellas and handkerchiefs, grab one & join in the fun! Cake pulls: Tradition dating back to the Victorian Era where a selected group of women pull ribbons with charms on the end from the wedding cake. Each charm represents something associated with fortune or well wishes. "Go Cups": New Orleans has no open-container laws, so we love to bring go cups anywhere! Feel free to ask for one when leaving a restaurant or take a drink from your hotel to walk through the streets. Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler: People in New Orleans know how to have fun. Come ready to "let the good times roll!"
It's New Orleans, so there's a pretty high chance it will rain at SOME point over the weekend. However, don't get discouraged! It usually stops and makes room for the sun in no time.
