Question

Why New Orleans?

Answer

Cooper and I went to New Orleans for our first trip together, and it has been a meaningful place for our relationship ever since. I also grew up visiting often, and we love its character, history, and culture. It gave us the perfect mix of a destination wedding feel while still being easy and affordable for our guests to travel to.

Question

What’s the schedule for the wedding?

Answer

The ceremony starts promptly at 6:00 PM, followed by cocktail hour and the reception, ending around 10:00 PM, just in time to keep the celebration going on Bourbon Street! Please plan to arrive a little early for parking and seating.

Question

When should I confirm attendance by?

Answer

The RSVP information and deadline will be added in Spring 2026. Thank you for your excitement and support!

Question

Will the wedding be outdoors? What’s the weather like?

Answer

Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be outdoors at Race and Religious. June in New Orleans is hot and humid, so dress in lightweight, breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes. We’ll have fans, shade, and cold drinks to help everyone stay cool.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

We kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation attend. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out!

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your little ones, but our celebration will mostly be adults-only. Older kids and teens are welcome, and if your children are invited, it will be noted on your Save the Date, invitation, and RSVP.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Ride shares (Uber/Lyft) are strongly encouraged, as parking is extremely limited at the venue. Most hotels aren’t within walking distance, and a quick ride will also get you to Bourbon Street for the after-party fun!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! We’ll have a full open bar with cocktails crafted for our celebration. Please drink responsibly so everyone can enjoy the night safely.

Question

What kind of food will be served?

Answer

We’re mixing it up with a food truck and passed tapas-style plates! Expect bites like chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits, tacos, truffle fries, jambalaya, and more, plus a grazing board. Come hungry, it’s going to be delicious!

Question

Can guests jump in the pool at the venue?

Answer

As fun as that sounds, pool jumping isn’t allowed due to venue rules (and the fine isn’t a cute wedding favor!). Keep your dancing shoes on instead!
