FAQs
Question
Will there be a seated dinner?
Answer
We will be hosting a New Orleans cocktail style reception. Don't worry there will be lots of food and drink! There will not be a formal seated dinner. New Orleans receptions are typically not seated dinners, but consist of heavy passed items at the start of the reception, open action stations and buffets, with emphasis on lots of food options, lots of beverages, and a highly dynamic and social atmosphere that allows guests to move freely about the reception space. Seating is left open for guests to choose their own seats and tables.
