I know some of you have to be from New Orleans, or have been there before
My cousin and her fiance have decided to get married in New Orleans next year. They originally thought November, but now have decided on September. My husband and I are the only ones who are planning to be there. We are their wedding party, and their whole guest list
A few other family members may end up coming, but it will be less than 10people total.
None of us have ever been to New Orleans before. We are all from Canada, and in fact, my cousin has never been on an airplane before (and she is terrified at the thought!). Obviously, with just the 4 of us probably going, it will be a very simple wedding. They don't want anything too fancy. They don't want a religious ceremony. Her fiance has been married twice before, and she has never been married.
They wanted to go away so they wouldn't have to do a big wedding at home and feel that they needed everyone there. The reason for New Orleans is that he is a big Saints fan and he hopes to go to their home opener
I know nothing about NFL, but as far as I can tell, they don't release the schedule until around April, so they won't pick their date until then. Although, as it will be a holiday for all of us, the ceremony could be done on a weekday, so hopefully it won't be too late to plan things.
Can anyone give us any tips? Any places you know that we should contact? Anywhere to avoid? We have been just doing internet searches but it's really hard to know what places are really like through pictures. Basically we are looking for a beautiful place for a very small ceremony, hiring a photographer for some pictures of the day, and probably just a restaurant for a small group to eat, possibly a private room so we can do some toasts
Thanks a bunch for any guidance we can get!!!
