Keeping up with the beautiful weather of March, April averages a high of 78℉ and a low of 59℉. It's the perfect weather for enjoying outdoor dining and exploring the many parks, gardens, and green spaces. Make sure to keep a light rain jacket and umbrella in case of afternoon drizzles, plus sunscreen and a hat if you find yourself outdoors.

We have posted a map in the travel section of areas you should stay away from. Please be careful when booking, it may seem weird, but one block can be the difference between safe and not so safe. DO NOT STAY in New Orleans East, the 9th ward, or on St. Claude Street. We feel very safe in New Orleans, but take simple precautions like staying away from problem areas and not walking alone late at night.

New Orleans gets a bad rap for being "unsafe," but we truly feel very safe when visiting. Follow these tips to enjoy yourself! 1. Don't walk around alone late at night! If you do find yourself wandering the city late night, stay on well lit, busier streets. Be kind to strangers, but don't fall for gimmicks. Keep your money to yourself and keep an eye on your wallet and phone. Feel free to go into a bar and get an Uber back to your hotel, or ask the bartender what the safest way to get home is. Better to be safe than sorry - always stick with a buddy and/or make sure you have a quick and easy way home that doesn't involve walking along the streets all alone! 2. Don't keep your wallet in your back pocket or your purse unattended. Don't be an easy target for pickpockets especially on crowded streets and bars. 3. Don't let scammers bet you about your shoes. It's very common for people on the street to try and bet you $10 that they can tell you where you got your shoes (answer: you got your shoes on your feet). Choose not to engage. If you interact with them and don't pay them, they will likely follow you around until you cough up some cash.

Anything you want! New Orleanians have a ton of fun with their fashion. You could wear a full on costume at 1pm on a Tuesday for no reason and nobody is going to look at you weird, we promise. Enjoy the fun and freedom that is New Orleans! Bring that dress you bought but never wore and break out the sparkles and tassels and have fun! This city and the people have a way of bringing your confidence out!

Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. Due to the capacity with our venue, we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. Thank you for understanding!

New Orleans receptions are typically not seated dinners, but consist of heavy passed items at the start of the reception, open action stations and buffets, with emphasis on lots of food options, lots of beverages, and a highly dynamic and social atmosphere that allows guests to move freely about the reception space. Seating is left open for guests to choose their own seats and tables. The bride and groom have their first dance near the beginning of their reception, opening the dance floor immediately for the guests' enjoyment, and to take full advantage of the hired entertainment.

After the ceremony we are looking forward to sharing in an authentic New Orleans custom for weddings - a Second Line! The Second Line has a deep, rich history in New Orleans. When performed during weddings, it signifies the beginning of a new life for the bride and groom. A Second Line has two parts. The "First line" is usually the band or the ones being honored. The bride and groom, as well as the band would be the "first line" at a Second Line for a wedding. The newly married couple leads the way, usually holding decorated umbrellas or parasols. The guests and anyone else who joins in the celebration are referred to as the "second line". They form a line behind the band and couple, dancing and strutting to the lively music with handkerchiefs or cocktail napkins. Our second line will be about 15-minutes long and wrap around the block. Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes and request a pedi-cab for mobility impaired to the bride or groom a month before the wedding.
