FAQs

Question

What should I consider when deciding what to pack and wear?

Answer

We recommend semi-formal attire, but please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. The venue is mainly outdoors, with two indoor rooms for relaxing (one with AC and one with fans). Temperatures in New Orleans will likely range between 60-80°F. We're also excited to have a Second Line around the park. For those who may be unfamiliar, a Second Line is a lively New Orleans tradition where people parade behind a brass band. All that being said, please consider bringing layers and comfortable shoes!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Children under 12 are welcome. If you have an older child, please reach out to us.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

While we would love for everyone to bring a date, the wedding venue has a guest cap, which limits the number of people we can invite. At this time, we have primarily invited couples we've gotten to know very well. If there's someone special you'd like to bring, please let us know—we’ll do our best to make it possible!

Question

If I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

We'll be serving passed hors d'oeuvres and a buffet-style dinner. If you have any allergies, please reach out, and we’ll let you know which foods to avoid. We've included some of the main dietary restrictions below. Our Vegetarian Selections include: Eggplant Caponata, Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms, Stuffed Artichokes, and the Mashed Potato Bar. Our Gluten-Free Options include: Shrimp Roumalade, Sesame Tuna, Oyster En Brochette, Pecan Crusted Chicken and the Mashed Potato Bar. If you are a Pescatarian, please note that most seafood dishes are pescatarian options. Just be sure to avoid the Oyster En Brochette, which contains bacon, and the Crawfish and Tasso Beignets, which contain pork.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We've reserved a block of rooms at the Hotel Monteleone. If you're interested in booking, please let us know. If you prefer exploring on your own, we recommend staying in the French Quarter, Mid City or Esplanade Ridge. All of those locations would be about a ten-minute ride to the venue. Feel free to contact us for more recommendations.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There should be ample free parking at the wedding venue.
