A Joy-Filled New Orleans Wedding at the Old Ursuline Convent

Jul 9

Getting Ready in the Heart of the French Quarter

The day began at the elegant Windsor Court Hotel, where both the bride and groom got ready just blocks away from the celebration. The bride’s suite buzzed with excitement and soft glam while the groom and his crew shared laughs and got dressed for the big day.

A Traditional Ceremony at St. Mary’s Church

St. Mary’s Church, tucked along the cobblestone streets of the French Quarter, was the perfect setting for a timeless Catholic ceremony. With heartfelt readings, a string of family processions, and the historic backdrop of the church, the ceremony felt reverent and deeply meaningful.

A Lively Courtyard Reception at the Old Ursuline Convent

After the ceremony, guests made their way to the Old Ursuline Convent, where the courtyard transformed into an unforgettable celebration space. With lush florals by NOLA Flora, chandeliers from Luminous Events, live music by the Phunky Monkeys, and signature cocktails flowing, the reception was full of energy and style. The night ended the only way a true New Orleans wedding should—with a full brass band second line through the streets to R Bar.
