Getting there and around

Arriving: Louis Armstrong International (MSY) is 25 minutes from the French Quarter.

  • The French Quarter and Marigny are walkable.
  • The St. Charles streetcar runs through the Garden District. Buy a Jazzy Pass on the Le Pass app.
  • Rideshare is easy and cheap across the city.
  • You can walk with a drink in a plastic cup in the Quarter. No glass.

Booking rooms for your wedding group

  • Most guests come in high season (February to May, October to November). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
  • Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
  • You can get around here without a car, so a central base near restaurants works well for most guests.
  • Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
