New Orleans Weddings

New Orleans offers many romantic and unique settings for your wedding day. Let us help you say "I do" in New Orleans!

New Orleans likes to say “I do.” With its beautiful architecture, horse-drawn carriages, centuries old oak trees and European ambiance, New Orleans is often called the most romantic city in America. Where better to start your wedded bliss than in a city that celebrates love. New Orleans offers elegant hotels  as well as romantic, lush courtyards and sumptuous park settings. Close the street and lead your very own second-line parade to the reception where you can choose to have one of the Crescent City’s many fabulous brass bands delight your guests and create cherished memories, or get married on riverboat with a reception to follow on deck to the tunes of a Dixieland jazz band.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more enchanting spot for a wedding anywhere in the world. New Orleans & Company (formerly the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau), a non-profit organization, is here to assist you in planning your wedding in New Orleans. Our complimentary service will help couples plan a local or destination wedding in New Orleans.
