Ever been to a New Orleans wedding? It’s an unforgettable experience for the bride, groom and their guests. There’s no better place to begin your happily ever after than in the Big Easy. Even if you’re not getting hitched, New Orleans can make you a believer in all things love. It’s charming and unpredictable — two things that keep the spice in a marriage.
Weddings can be hectic to plan and travel to but working with New Orleans vendors and professionals can relieve stress with their southern hospitality. People in New Orleans know what they’re doing when it comes to partying, so why not leave it to the best? And of course, there’s food, food and more food. For fun try mini-po-boys as an appetizer and pralines for a tasty wedding favor for guests.
Family and friends can enjoy New Orleans nightlife before the wedding. For the reception hire a local brass band to lead a second line parade. Even your shiest guests will surprise you. They’ll be waving a handkerchief and doing dance moves they didn’t know they had. New Orleans is the place where the good times roll. And for sure, guests will post their favorite NOLA wedding moments on social media.
All this you may already know, but let’s say you can’t decide on a wedding style. No worries. There are many options for every wedding type and budget. Whether your wedding is religious, romantic, rustic or something off the beaten path — there’s some place in New Orleans perfect for the occasion.
