Q + A

Hi guys,


We have a room block at the Courtyard New Orleans Metairie.  It is located about a 5 minute drive from the church.  There are 5 King and 5 Double Queen rooms available for Thursday, Sunday and Monday.  For Friday and Saturday there are 15 Kings and 5 Double Queens available. 


The deadline to reserve rooms will be NOVEMBER 25th, 2024.


If the block is filled and you would like a room, please let us know so that we can increase the block size. 


Below is the link to get access to the room block:

OR
Call (800) 321-2211 ask for the special rate (I'm assuming you just ask for the Harris Room Block Rates)
