FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

This is a formal wedding, but with a fun New Orleans jazzy twist. We suggest floor-length gowns or cocktail dresses and suits or tuxedos. Check out our pinterest board below for more inspiration :) https://pin.it/38MJEzXX1

Question

Will there be a second line?

Answer

Yes! A second line is a traditional New Orleans parade where guests dance and celebrate behind a brass band. We'll be parading from our ceremony to the reception, so get ready for a festive 15-minute walk through the streets with music, dancing, and joy :,)

Question

What kind of shoes should I wear?

Answer

We want you to feel fabulous and comfortable! New Orleans streets are charming but can be uneven, especially for our second line parade from the ceremony to the reception. We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes or a backup pair to make sure you can continue to boogie all night long!

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration!

Question

How can I RSVP?

Answer

Formal invitations will be sent out later this year. If you already know you can join us or sadly know you can't make it, please contact us to let us know!

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

If a plus-one is included in your invitation, their name will appear on your RSVP. Due to venue capacity, we're only able to accommodate guests formally invited.

Question

Will a meal choice be included in my RSVP?

Answer

In true New Orleans tradition, our reception will follow a cocktail-style format rather than a formal seated dinner to keep the energy high and the dance floor full. Guests can enjoy a continuous flow of heavy passed hors d'oeuvres and local favorites from various action stations throughout the evening. Come hungry and ready to celebrate!

Question

I have dietary restrictions. Will there be food for me?

Answer

Yes! We are working with the catering team to make sure that there is food for everyone. If you have any specific concerns, feel free to let us know!

Question

What's the dress code for the welcome party?

Answer

We're kicking off the celebration at Sidecar Patio & Oyster Bar. While it's a casual place, we're asking folks to come dressed in cocktail attire. Think chic, fun and funky!

Question

What is the weather like in New Orleans in November?

Answer

November is one of the best times to visit New Orleans! Expect mild temperatures in the 60s-70s°F during the day and cooler evenings in the 50s-60s°F. The humidity is lower than summer months, and rain is less frequent, making it perfect weather for celebrating outdoors and exploring the city.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will be indoors, with an outdoor cocktail hour in between. NOLA in November is beautiful, but if you are prone to getting cold, we recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap!

Question

What's the best way to get around New Orleans?

Answer

Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are readily available and convenient throughout the city. The historic St. Charles streetcar is a charming way to travel between Uptown and downtown, and many areas like the French Quarter and Garden District are very walkable. We recommend avoiding driving yourself, as parking can be challenging and you'll want to enjoy the festivities!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Sure will be.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We'd love for you to be fully present during our ceremony. Our photographer will capture everything, and we'll share photos after the wedding! Feel free to take photos during the reception.

Question

Are there hotel room blocks?

Answer

Yes! Please visit our "Accommodations" page for hotel recommendations and discount links.
