FAQ

What's the deadline for reserving hotel rooms?
May 25th. Scroll down to the earlier post for the link.

When do festivities begin and end?
The wedding is Saturday, June 26th, but we will host a casual (really, shorts are fine) crawfish boil the evening of Friday, June 25, around 6pm. A local friend has volunteered to "escort" folks interested in taking the streetcar to the party.

Saturday morning and afternoon are free. We will add some suggested activities soon.

For those who are not driving, we have reserved a limo bus to bring people to and from the wedding ceremony. It will arrive at the hotel at approximately 5:15. Please let us know if you'd like to be included in this.

The ceremony begins at 6pm and should last 30 minutes. The reception is at Muriel's. Drinks and h'orderves will be available in the Seance Lounge at 7. The dinner bell rings at 7:30 and will be served in the Plantation Room.

Scott and I would love for guests to join us for brunch on Sunday, June 27th. This will be casual and NOT early.

May I bring my children?
While we'd love to have them, space is tight at both the chapel and at Muriel's. However, children are welcome at the crawfish boil the night before.

What about sight-seeing?
Clearly, there's lots to do and see and eat in NOLA. For those interested in off-the-beaten-path music venues and restaurants, we'll post a list of our favorite places.

Should I rent a car?
The hotel is centrally located in the French Quarter. If you'd like to visit other areas of the city (Garden District, for example), it is feasible (as well as cheap and fun) to take the streetcar. We have reserved a limo bus to bring folks to and from the wedding ceremony. The reception is around the corner from the hotel.

Parking is neither easy nor cheap. If you do rent a car, it is best to pay to put in a garage.

Will it be hot?
It will be hotter than you know. Bring bathing suits for hotel pool.

Will it rain?
Yep. Probably every afternoon around 3pm.
