What does "sassy cocktail" attire even mean?
Sassy - adjective, 'lively, bold, and full of spirit; cheeky.'
It means semi-formal, but make it fashion. See mood board below for inspiration!
Where do we stay?
Hotel Peter and Paul is located in the Marigny, a charming walkable neighborhood adjacent to the French Quarter. This is where we'll be staying and we recommend you stay here as well. There are many Air B&B's around the hotel and we have secured a hotel block at Hotel Peter and Paul & at The Frenchmen Hotel.
Other great neighborhoods include:
French Quarter, Irish Channel, Uptown, Fairgrounds, Bayou St. John.
First Timers: "Is New Orleans safe?"
Short answer: Yes! We're very excited to welcome you to New Orleans, a city that we love dearly and is very important to us. As in any major city, it’s wise to drink responsibly and stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night, in unfamiliar areas, ... or on Bourbon Street.
Which events should I attend?
Aside from the actual wedding, as many or as few as you want! The day after the wedding, we have 2 events planned and we would love to see you there but attendance is not mandatory. We want you to make the time in the city yours and have included some recommendations for our favorite spots for you to explore!
Can we bring our kids?
We kindly request that you leave the children at home. Thank you for understanding.
There is not an option to select my entree? Will there be dinner?
Yes. We’ve opted for a classic Southern “stations” setup. This means there will be a variety of stations for you to choose from throughout the night. No assigned seats and no pre-selections! And yes, there will be vegetarian/pescatarian options.
Will there be Halloween celebrations?
YES! The Halloween parade is on Saturday night at 6:00pm starting at Elysian Fields between Chartres and Decatur. And there will be plenty of Halloween celebrations throughout the city. Bring a costume if you're feeling spooky.
