How do I get to New Orleans?

You can fly into the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). We recommend booking your flights early since prices tend to go up in New Orleans around Halloweekend, especially as it gets closer to the date!

How do I get from the airport to the hotel?

It is a ~30 minute drive from the airport to the French Quarter, and we recommend using Uber, Lyft or a taxi. There's no need to rent a car - all of the wedding activities will be walking distance, and it is difficult to park in the French Quarter.

Where should I stay?

Please see the hotel information below. Feel free to book a different hotel or an airbnb that's not listed as well! There are plenty of options near the wedding venue at varying price points. Whatever you decide, we recommend booking early! Halloweekend is a popular time in New Orleans.

......... Other Options .........

Feel free to book a different hotel or airbnb that's not listed! Some info on the different areas:

The French Quarter will be the most convenient area to stay in to get to the wedding, and has many small/historic/boutique hotels, as well as many restaurants and bars. If you don't want to hear noise late into the night, we'd recommend not staying directly on Bourbon Street (generally even a block away is good enough!). Hotels here tend to be pricier due to the location.

The Central Business District (CBD)/Downtown has larger chain hotels that are walking distance to the wedding, but a slightly longer walk. Staying in the CBD is generally less expensive than staying in the French Quarter, but it is also a little dead (nothing going on - which could be a good thing if you are looking for somewhere removed and quieter!). The CBD is like the equivalent of the Financial District in other cities.

Also, if you choose to stay somewhere where you will have to uber/taxi to the wedding, please keep in mind that traffic in the French Quarter can add extra time.
