As it is a celebration, second-lines are a popular tradition among New Orleans weddings. It signifies the beginning of a new life together. Usually, the second line brings the wedding guests and bridal party from the ceremony to the reception. The newlyweds lead the procession, umbrellas in hand, while the wedding party and guests follow the band with handkerchiefs. Second lining has been called "the quintessential New Orleans art form – a jazz funeral without a body.” Historically, the African-American community began second lines as neighborhood celebrations. The neighborhood organizations offered social aid to freed slaves, such as loans and insurance, and used the second-lines as a form of advertising. Second lines were also used to honor members who died in their community, which launched the idea of second lines at funerals. Everyone is welcome to join in and many do. You will see second lines year-round, throughout the city. The more participants in the procession the better! This is what makes this city so different from anywhere else on Earth.

Capulet is located in New Orleans, LA. Though originally built in the 1800s, the building has been thoughtfully restored with contemporary couples and milestone celebrations in mind. Just 10 blocks away from the Big Easy's famous French Quarter, the warehouse offers a warm, inviting ambience that embodies the city's rich culture.

Parking is quite hard in the surrounding area, so we'd recommend taking Ubers.

Feel free to wear anything that’s formal and classy (except for white of course). Go all out!!!

January in New Orleans can be beautiful! However, with an average high of 62℉ and a low of 43℉, January is one of New Orleans’ cooler months. Winter in New Orleans isn't too cold, but it's always good to play it safe!
