DID YOU KNOW THAT IT'S MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND?
That means less work and more play! Please stay as long as you can in New Orleans and make the most of the Holiday Weekend!
WHEN SHOULD WE GET THERE?
We encourage everyone to arrive as early as you would like so you can enjoy New Orleans. But at the latest, please be in town by the evening of Friday 5/23 so you can attend the Welcome Dinner at 7pm.
SHOULD WE GET A RENTAL CAR?
No, not really. Take a cab from the airport to your hotel. If you've planned things right then you're staying in the French Quarter and everything you can (and can't) imagine is at your fingertips. The Welcome Dinner is within walking distance and we will provide transportation to and from the wedding.
WONDERING WHERE TO STAY?
The French Quarter. The great thing about New Orleans is that there are so many great hotels. The bad thing about New Orleans is that there are SO MANY great hotels. Got a favorite hotel, stay there!
If you don't have a favorite we have a room block at the Royal Sonesta and recommend staying there if you've never been to New Orleans before want the all inclusive New Orleans French Quarter experience!
