For now, the map just has the wedding location and neighborhoods we recommend for finding accommodations. We’ll update it later with more places and fun things to do!
Modern GPS usually does a really good job! Certainly better than we could do!
The New Orleans International Louis Armstrong airport was recently opened. It is generally nice and accessible. There are ride services at the airport from the major rideshare apps (Uber and Lyft). An airport ride to downtown New Orleans is usually between $30 and $40 dollars.
Alas, public transport from the airport is complicated. You can always ask your hotel if they provide a shuttle service though.
We recommend several airlines:
Our wedding day is on Sunday, October 26, 2025. For those traveling, we recommend spending a couple of days before and after the ceremony in the city if possible.
For those interested in planning a longer trip, we will be updating the page later on with fun things to do in the area! For instance, Halloween is the weekend after the wedding and, if you know New Orleans culture, you know we love costumes and dressing up! Halloween is usually a super fun time here!
Hotels and Airbnb’s are available. Airbnb’s have been controversial here but they are still a nice option, especially if you prefer residential areas and have kids and/or large groups.
We have all categories of hotels, from upscale and historical to affordable.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us for feedback before booking your stay!
New Orleans isn’t really big, but it has many different areas. These are the areas we generally recommend for finding lodging:
In general, public transport in the city is complicated. We have historical streetcar (tramway) lines that are really nice and cheap, but are perhaps more appropriate for sightseeing. Buses do exist but are infrequent and usually for people going in and out of work.
The city is generally pretty accessible by foot. All the neighborhoods mentioned above are great areas to walk around!
At night or otherwise, we suggest traveling by car. Rideshare apps (Uber/Lyft) are usually pretty quick and affordable. While traveling by car inside the city proper, everything is usually 5 to 15 minutes away at most.
October in New Orleans is usually one of the best times of the year! The weather is nice, between 27°/18° Celsius (81°/62° Fahrenheit) and not super humid.
However, October is also a transition month. The hot and humid temperatures of the summer may still linger for a while and the chilly cold winter weather can sometimes come early so it’s good to be prepared for both (and you better believe the humidity makes the chill feel really cold!).
Well, climate change is real and we are increasingly seeing more late summer/early fall storms. However, if that happens, you will be given at least 3 to 4 days notice and will absolutely have enough time to make plans accordingly.
