Accommodations
There are a plethora of options - literally, at least a hundred choices - within walking distance of the welcome drinks, ceremony, and reception locations. To help narrow down your choices, we've arranged for discounted rates for rooms at a few local hotels. We've visited the hotels and we feel there is something for everyone! Please contact the hotel directly at the number listed below to make your arrangements - mention our names or event to secure the special rates.
If you click on the text of the hotel name, it'll take you to their website.
Each of these hotels are in or near the French Quarter and are no more than a few blocks from everything on our schedule - we wanted you to be able to enjoy the unique atmosphere, and be able to walk to everything!
That said, there are certainly many other lovely accommodations and neighborhoods in New Orleans - we had trouble choosing ourselves - so please don't feel obligated to stay in one on this list if another place is more your style. We also found some great options on VRBO.com and airbnb .com- which are great if you want be able to cook in a kitchen, or stay together with a larger group. If you need help or have questions, just ask us!
(NOTE: Like many older hotels, some of these below offer low-end rooms with no windows. Be sure to confirm when you reserve that your room has windows!)

A variety of rooms and suites set among quiet courtyards - everything is clean and recently renovated, but with an old-New-Orleans atmosphere.

A slightly more upmarket option, this is a Classic New Orleans hotel with balconies overlooking Bourbon Street.
