Transportation

Brittany, on June 1, 2019 at 9:12 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
So, our wedding will be in New Orleans. I’ve chosen marigny opera house for a ceremony and Napoleon House for the reception. Since this is technically a “destination” wedding and neither of us has family in the area...should we offer transportation to the ceremony, to the reception, & then back to the hotel? Uber gift cards? I need some ideas.

    I don’t know how close these venues are, but I think a New Orleans tradition is a second line, I think it’s called.
    Everyone parades to the reception location. They carry colorful umbrellas and swing scarves/bandanas. That would eliminate transportation between events.
    A shuttle to and from the hotel would be a good idea. Have it run back a forth a couple of times. If someone chooses not to use it the can pay for their own taxi/Uber

    Apparently you need a permit, but it’s still an idea to look into

    Yes we plan to do the second line but I think it may be too far. According to google maps it would be a 26 minute walk.

    We live about 45 mins from New Orleans. Unfortunately, I think those 2 destinations are too far apart for a Second Line. I will say they are super fun to watch, but I’ve heard they’re pretty pricey. For transportation, I’d check with whatever hotel you’ve blocked rooms at. Maybe there’s a shuttle they can offer? If not, Uber gift cards would be a good idea!

    I thought the same thing! I like the Uber gift card idea as well. Also, I didn’t know the hotel may offer a shuttle service so I will definitely check into that too. Thank you!

    We plan to either use the hotel shuttle or local trolley to provide transportation.

    I’m going to check into both of those options too.
