Melissa & Paul

October 18, 2025 • New Orleans, LA, USA

Q + A

Are the ceremony and reception at the same place?

Yes! It's all at Garrett Field Estancia.

What airport should I fly into?

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

What is the attire for the wedding?

Elevated cocktail. Not formal, but not casual. Men could wear a dress shirt and pants with a sport jacket, while women might wear nice dresses that don't need to be floor length. We'd leave the stilettos at home (Paul is) and opt for something that will withstand gravel and grass. Maybe even bring a pair of flats to change into if you feel like it! The bride will be.

Are children welcome?

They most certainly are! We will have lemonades on deck, a big grassy area to run around in, bubble toys, and horsies they can view. If you need to store any kids items in the house at the venue you are welcome to it.

Can I get my own ride to the venue?

Absolutely!

Is there parking at the venue?

Yes there is. You can parking in the parking lot.

What is the weather and climate like in the area?

It's going to depend. It could be hot and humid or it could rain, so we will have to see the week of! Most likely it should be good weather. In October, the temperature in Slidell typically ranges from 60°F to 77°F and is rarely below 48°F or above 84°F.

What type of food will be served at your wedding?

We will be having a seated buffet-style dinner with the main entree options being brisket and chicken thighs. Everything will be gluten free. If you have a dietary restriction please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate!

Will there be an open bar?

Yes, go wild or whateva. The options include wine, beer, a specialty cocktail with tequila, and a specialty cocktail with Paul Kelly Vodka. There will also be sodas, juices, lemonade, and fancy spa water.

What area should we stay in?

See the "Travel" tab for more info.

Is there a wedding registry?

There is not. You showing up for us with love is all we could hope for!
