Travel Info

We want your travel and stay in New Orleans to be as smooth as possible! Please see below:
Airport: Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is roughly a 20 minute drive to the French Quarter and downtown area where the wedding will be held. We recommend taking an Uber/Lyft or taxi as public transportation is not as readily available. Car rentals are available as well, just keep in mind parking at hotels require an additional fee.
Hotel Blocks: Please see the 'Hotels' tab for details on hotel bookings. We have three blocks at Hotel Fontenot, Garden District Hotel, and the Omni Royal Hotel. 
  • Hotel Fontenont combines modern boutique luxury with a playful New Orleans personality. The hotel is located in New Orleans' central business district, a bit quieter at night, but in the middle of the weekend's festivities with a 10 minute drive or 15 to 20 minute walk to both the welcome party and the wedding ceremony / reception.

  • Garden District Hotel is right across the street from the grooms and at the heart of one of New Orleans' most quaint neighborhoods known for its grand 19th-century mansions, tree-lined streets, and lush gardens. The hotel is located right across the street from Friday's welcome party, but a 15 minute drive from the French Quarter and the wedding ceremony / reception.  

  • Omni Royal Hotel is one of the classic luxury hotels in New Orleans and is often considered one of the best places to stay if you want to immerse yourself in the French Quarter. The hotel is located in the heart of the French Quarter, only a few blocks from the wedding ceremony / reception and a 15 minute drive from the welcome party.
