What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues?

The wedding ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue, Southern Oaks. The address is 7816 Hayne Boulevard, New Orleans, LA 70126. Whether heading from the east or the west on I-10, take the Crowder Boulevard exit, number 242. Head toward the lake upon exiting (which is a left turn if coming from downtown or Metairie, and a right turn if coming from Slidell or Mississippi). After about one mile, Crowder Boulevard ends at Hayne Boulevard, where you can take either a right or left turn. Turn left onto Hayne. Southern Oaks will be on your left side in about 1/3 of a mile.

Is there parking available near your wedding venue?

Guests who drive themselves will be delighted to find we have a private, secured parking lot at Southern Oaks. This is accessed by driving through the entrance gate and alongside the mansion to the rear of the property. The lot can accommodate about 100 vehicles. Overflow parking is available on the easement along the south side of Hayne Boulevard and on the residential streets behind the parking lot.

What is the dress code for your wedding?

The dress code for the wedding is black-tie optional. We respectfully request you refrain from wearing anything close to white, black (excluding suits and tuxedos), or red. Please see link for inspiration. https://pin.it/3ygKABK

What time should I arrive at the venue?

We recommend guests arrive 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony. Our day is being coordinated on a strict schedule by the venue. Guests that arrive after the start of the ceremony will not be permitted to attend the ceremony and will be delayed admission to the reception.

How will I get to and from the venue?

Lyft and Uber will be available in New Orleans. You may want to schedule one ahead of time on either app for around 11:30PM if you would like to secure a ride before hand to take you home… Additionally, you may also book a taxi using one of these companies: https://www.neworleans.com/plan/transportation/cabs-and-taxis/
