New Orleans Nuptials in the French Quarter

New Orleans is known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African, and American cultures.

Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for its colorful parades and fabulous parties. And so what better place to say, "I do," and celebrate than New Orleans, I say!
