Please see our travel tab to see a variety of accommodation options! We do suggest staying in New Orleans so that you are able to experience all the city has to offer!
We kindly ask that only those listed on the invitation attend. Except for a few children in our immediate family, this is an adults-only event. We appreciate your understanding in not bringing additional guests or children. If you have any questions feel free to contact us to check in on your guest count. We can't wait to celebrate!
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. The bride and groom have their first dance near the beginning of their reception, opening the dance floor immediately for the guests' enjoyment, and to take full advantage of the hired entertainment.
