Q + A

What time should I arrive?

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 P.M. so we request guests plan to arrive no later than 4:00. Guests who have not arrived by the start of the ceremony will not be permitted to enter the venue until after the conclusion of the ceremony. We appreciate your understanding in ensuring we have our special moment, uninterrupted.

Can I Bring a plus one?

While we wish we could celebrate with all of your loved ones, due to space and planning considerations, we are unable to accommodate plus ones. We truly appreciate your understanding and can't wait to celebrate with you!

Can we bring kids?

No. This is an adult-only celebration, with the exception of family participating in the wedding. We appreciate your understanding!

Will there be food during the reception?

Yes! We will offer a true New Orleans family style buffet. We aren't formal people and that's how we want our dinner to feel - sit, stand, mingle, and go back for more! Please note: due to our venue all food will be prepared onsite and the cross contamination of shellfish, gluten, dairy etc is to be expected. Please plan accordingly for dietary restrictions.

WILL THERE BE SHUTTLES TO THE WEDDING VENUE?

No. The Royal Sonesta is 10 minutes from the Wedding Venue. Please plan ahead using the hotel concierge or ride share apps.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony.

NO. Our amazing photographer will handle that much better than your phone.

WHAT ARE THE WEEKEND PLANS?

As our ceremony is being held on Friday, May 30th, we have put together an optional itinerary for Saturday, May 31st. Laissez les bons temps rouler, as they say! Please read the Wedding Weekend tab for details.
