We will be providing shuttle services to and from the wedding ceremony/reception for guests staying at Kimpton Hotel Fontenot and Cambria hotel with our wedding blocks. We will send out more information for specific pickup locations and times the week of the wedding via email. For those staying elsewhere, we suggest booking an uber/taxi ahead of time, or having a rental car, as transportation may be difficult to secure after midnight on NYE.
Flight
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport
Please let us know if you have any arrival/departure time questions. We recommend flying into the international airport, or driving into the city if you aren't too far away! Having a car might be most convenient for those not comfortable with public transportation.
Travel Note
Parking
If you plan to bring your vehicle to New Orleans with you, both hotels have valet parking available. We recommend this as the safest and most secure option, however there are street and public lots close by as well but please don't leave belongings in your vehicle unattended. Please note, we are providing transportation to and from the wedding venue and hotels, we strongly encourage not driving to the venue to do no designated venue parking, increased traffic due to the NYE holiday, as well as the open bar that will be provided at the reception.
