A New Orleans cocktail style wedding reception has no assigned seating or plated dinner. After the first dances, the food stations and the dance floor will open. Eat when you’re hungry, dance when you’re moved, and sit wherever you’d like!
A second line is a vibrant New Orleans tradition where a brass band leads a parade of guests, with the "first line" being the couple and the band, and the "second line" being everyone else dancing and celebrating behind them. We’re excited to share that we’ll have a second line at the end of our reception! Together, we’ll parade to a nearby bar to kick off the after-party.
Due to limited space, we kindly ask that only those listed on the invitation attend. Thank you for your understanding!
We kindly ask our guests to arrive between 4:30 PM and 4:50 PM to ensure you are seated and ready as the ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM.
Yes, the dress code is Black Tie Optional. We kindly encourage guests to dress formally, such as in a tuxedo or a gown. We’re excited to celebrate with you in style!
While we love your little ones, we’ve decided to make our wedding an adults-only celebration (21+).
We won’t be providing transportation to or from the hotels. We recommend planning ahead by using rideshare services or arranging a taxi for your convenience.
