Once formal invitations are sent, you'll be able to RSVP right here on our wedding website. If you already know whether or not you can make it, please feel free to reach out to the bride or groom to let us know early!
Cocktail Attire: We're in NOLA, so have fun with it! Bold patterns, playful jewelry, midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits, colorful pocket squares, well-styled sport coat and trousers, or a sharp suit. GET YOUR DANCING SHOES ON! New Orleans' cobblestone streets can be tricky, so opt for kitten heels, wedges, dressy flats, or mules. Wedding events will include lots of dancing and 2nd line parade, so make sure to wear walkable footwear.
YES! A second line is a traditional New Orleans wedding parade where a live brass band leads the newlyweds and guests on a celebratory walk through the streets, so please wear comfortable shoes for a 15-20 minute walk on historic brick and uneven NOLA sidewalks. Short kitten heels, wedges or fancy flats are highly encouraged!
Because of space constraints, we can only accommodate named guests on the final invitations. We appreciate your understanding.
While we love the kiddos, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. Thank you for making arrangements!
Our reception will be an authentic New Orleans style celebration. Instead of a traditional seated dinner, the menu will feature passed appetizers, chef-attended stations with various seafood displays, soup, proteins, pasta, and more.
Guests can enjoy the various food stations at their leisure throughout the reception. There's going to be plenty of seating throughout the venue, but no assigned seating. Come ready to mingle, hit the dance floor, and enjoy time with family and friends.
When you RSVP, please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
