There are many options for flying to New Orleans including flying out of Logan in Boston, T.F. Green in Providence, and Bradley in Hartford. We have included some guidance on flights on our "Travel" page.
You should fly into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). Both hotels blocks are just under 20 minutes from the airport. We recommend taking an Uber to get to your hotel.
We have reserved room blocks at The Royal Sonesta and The Courtyard Marriott. The information for the room blocks can be found on our "Travel" page. There are also many other hotels in the area, as well as Airbnb's that you can choose to stay at.
No, there will not be transportation provided as the wedding ceremony is at the Royal Sonesta Hotel and walking distance from all nearby hotels. The reception dinner is a short walk from the hotel. You will need to plan for transportation from the airport upon arrival in New Orleans, we suggest taking an Uber.
Our ceremony will begin at 4:00pm in the courtyard of the Royal Sonesta. Please plan to arrive at 3:45 to ensure you have time to take your seat before we begin.
Our reception will start at 5:00pm at Crescent City Brewhouse. After our ceremony ends, feel free to take some photos and mingle with guests before heading over to the restaurant. It is about a 5-10 minute walk from the ceremony. Our reception will be on the second floor.
The dress code for the wedding ceremony and reception dinner is Cocktail Attire. Women can wear dresses/ jumpsuits of any length, color or print (please avoid white and cream colored dresses). Men do not need to wear a suit jacket. Dress comfortably for the New Orleans weather and walking in a second line parade!
We kindly ask you to keep phones silenced and cameras away during our ceremony. This way everyone can be fully present and our amazing professional photographer can capture all the moments and all the angles. Thank you for understanding!
The real information people want to know... Yes, the wedding reception dinner will be open bar, with plenty of food and drinks for our guests to enjoy with us!
A "second line" is a celebratory tradition in New Orleans. The origin of the second line is from funeral traditions where the jazz band would play music to celebrate the life of the deceased. Over time it has turned into a wedding tradition where the jazz band plays music to celebrate the new life of the couple. There will be a live jazz band and police motorcycles escorting us from the restaurant back to bourbon street. Get ready to stroll, dance, and swing your handkerchiefs with us as we parade through New Orleans!
The average temperature in New Orleans for the month of May is 85 but can range from around 75-90 degrees. Dress to stay cool and comfortable!
Although we love all of our family and friend's children, due to our limited space and guestlist, our wedding ceremony and reception dinner will be adult-only. Thank you for understanding.
Although we want to have all of our friends and family in New Orleans with us to celebrate, we completely understand that not everyone is able to travel for a destination wedding. If you are unable to make it, simple reply so on our "RSVP" page to help us plan accordingly. You can still celebrate with us at our sendoff cookout that will be held prior to wedding weekend!
