    AIRBNB/VRBO

    There are many local AirBnB's and VRBO's available close by if you choose to go this route. We strongly recommend staying Uptown, Garden District, Lower Garden District, or the Warehouse District. These areas have plenty of bars and restaurants.

    UBER

    We understand the importance of ensuring everyone gets home safely so we encourage Uber or Lyft. Avoid walking around less populated areas at night.

  • Dressy casual. Fantastical* attire encouraged!

    *By this, I mean wear whatever makes you look and feel really awesome - even if it’s outside the realm of typical wedding attire. It does not mean we are all dressing as elves. But if you really wanted to dress like an elf, that would be pretty okay too.

  • Some of you may want to bring a plus-one. Please let us know ASAP if this applies to you! Due to limited capacity at VESSEL NOLA, we can accommodate those who have been formally invited and a finite number of plus ones.

    However, we encourage extra guests to join us at Le Bon Temp Roule. So if you want to travel to New Orleans with a larger party, have them join us at 9pm.
