Question

Is the reception really at a Restaurant?

Answer

The reception is in a private room at a historic New Orleans restaurant, Antoine's. We have reserved the Twelfth Night Reveler's room. The room is named for the Twelfth Night Revelers (TNR), the second-oldest Carnival organization. TNR staged its first parade and ball on Jan. 6, 1870. The group continued to present a street parade until 1876, when it became a ball-only krewe. TNR is credited with introducing many important Carnival customs, including presenting debutantes as the queen and maids in its royal court. They also helped introduce and popularize the New Orleans custom of throws when a float rider dressed as Santa Claus in its 1871 parade tossed trinkets to the crowd. TNR members costume as masked chefs at the ball. A large cake is wheeled onto the floor. Members of the royal court are invited to enjoy a "slice," and the young woman who selects the piece containing a gold bean is named queen. Excerpt from NOLA.com. Published Jan 2019.

Question

What can we expect at the reception?

Answer

New Orleans is known for their "cocktail style" receptions. We will have passed hors d'oeuvres, food stations (similar to a buffet), and an open bar. There is not formal seating, but we will have a few tables with chairs, as well as several high-tops for you to rest your drinks while you socialize and mingle. We encourage making new friends, creating memories, and enjoying the unique atmosphere that is New Orleans.

Question

Are children invited to the wedding?
