Steam Boat Cruise & Brunch

Sunday, October 26, 2025
10:00 AM–1:30 PM
Steamboat Natchez
400 Toulouse, New Orleans, LA, 70130
Attire: Think Comfortably Festive. You’ll want to look good in photos but still feel at ease. Keep it casual but polished to match the charm of a classic New Orleans steamboat (aka, no costumes yet—save those for later).
Before the wedding bells toll, we’re inviting our nearest and dearest to step aboard the Steamboat Natchez for a river adventure. What’s in store? That’s a mystery, even to me. But what I do know is that we’ll be sailing the Mississippi on a classic steamboat, surrounded by great company, gorgeous views, and a little New Orleans magic. Whether you're here to soak in the sights, enjoy the atmosphere, or just take a moment to breathe before the main celebration, this will be a laid-back yet unforgettable experience. Not a morning person? No worries! If you’d rather sleep in, recover from travel, or explore the city at your own pace, join us instead for our evening event, where things take a more mysterious turn… ⚠️ Heads up! We need an accurate RSVP. This experience requires preparation, so please let us know if you'll be joining us for this river cruise so we don’t accidentally leave you at the dock. *Free Event*

1920's Mafia Marriage Murder Mystery Dinner

Sunday, October 26, 2025
6:00 PM–9:00 PM
The Historic Swoop - Duggins House
916 Lafayette Street, New Orleans, LA, 70113
Attire: Your 1920’s outfit should say “I have a secret to hide.” Whether that means: flapper dresses and feather boas, pinstriped suits and fedoras, or elegant vintage evening wear with a sinister twist 🖤🕯️ Make people wonder… are they innocent? Or guilty?
As the sun sets over New Orleans, the mystery of the day deepens. We leave behind the river’s gentle currents and step into a world of secrets, deception, and unanswered questions. What we know: 🔪 There’s been a murder. (dun dun dun…) 🕵️‍♂️ We’re all suspects. (Or maybe the next victim?) ❓ The truth is out there… but can we uncover it before it’s too late? This isn’t just a game, it’s a fully immersive experience where every guest has a role to play. Whether you fancy yourself a cunning detective, a suspicious socialite, or someone hiding a dark secret, prepare to scheme, question, and uncover the truth. Step carefully into the Dunn Speakeasy for the “Mob Wedding of the Year”, trust no one, and remember, the truth always comes out in the end… ⚠️ RSVP Required! Since this event relies on participation, we need a full headcount to ensure everyone gets a part to play. Don’t ghost us. *Free Event*

The Grand Celebration

October 27, 2025
6:00 PM–10:00 PM
New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
514 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA, 70130
Attire: Gothic Fairytale & Dark Fantasy-Inspired
The moment we’ve all been waiting for… a night where reality bends, shadows dance, and the magic of our story unfolds. This is more than just a ceremony—it’s a gathering of kindred spirits, a feast beneath flickering candlelight, and a celebration wrapped in mystery and enchantment. Expect an evening filled with love, laughter, and a touch of the unexpected as we step into the next chapter of our tale. Be ready to step into a world where gothic romance and fairytale wonder intertwine.

6:00 PM–6:30 PM

🕯️The Soul Binding

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
514 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA, 70130
Attire: Think moody elegance, enchanted forest, timeless romance, and a touch of mystery. Guests are encouraged to dress in dark fantasy or Halloween-inspired formalwear—rich fabrics, dramatic silhouettes, deep colors, or subtle nods to the mystical and magical. Rather than coming as a specific character, we invite you to channel your inner gothic self—the witch, vampire, fae, rogue, or royal that lives in your soul. This is about evoking a feeling, not wearing a costume. No logos, no cosplay—just dark beauty, creative flair, and whatever makes you feel like you stepped out of a storybook... or a dream. If you have questions, just text Lori or Christian.
Before the celebration begins, step into a space where history, mystery, and love intertwine. The ceremony will take place in the heart of the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, where the air is thick with echoes of the past, and the walls hold secrets of a time when medicine blurred the line between science and the supernatural. Guests will have the rare chance to wander through the museum’s collection of oddities—from antique apothecary bottles to relics of questionable medical history—before taking their seats for a brief but meaningful exchange of words and vows. But the night doesn’t end there.

6:30 PM–7:00 PM

🎺 The Second Line Procession

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
514 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA, 70130
Once vows are spoken and sealed, we’ll do what any proper New Orleans gathering would—we’ll dance through the streets in a Second Line. For those unfamiliar, a Second Line is a lively, musical procession led by a brass band, an iconic tradition in New Orleans where guests dance, wave handkerchiefs, and celebrate in true jazz funeral style—except this time, it’s for love, not loss. Our 20-30 minute march through the city will be a joyful, high-energy parade, a moving celebration where every step is part of the story. So grab a handkerchief, follow the music, and let the rhythm of the city carry us into the night.

7:45 PM–10:00 PM

🍽️ The Feast & Final Toast

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
514 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA, 70130
As the night deepens and the music lingers in the air, we gather for one final act of celebration. This is not a ballroom affair—it’s a true New Orleans feast, a table filled with rich flavors, candlelight, and the kind of laughter that only happens when time slows and the world feels just right. We don’t know where the night will take us—whether there will be dancing, storytelling, or something else entirely—but what we do know is this: This is the final chapter of the night, the last great gathering before the story shifts once more. So come, eat well, drink deeply, and savor the moments that remain. Because when the time comes, when the glasses are raised one last time and the echoes of the evening settle, we will part ways—but not before leaving you with something to remember.
