New Orleans Planners — Common Questions
Do we need a permit for a second line?
Yes, and the permit is only half of it. The city wants a route, and the route wants a police detail assigned to it, and that detail is booked against everything else happening in the district that weekend rather than against your ceremony time.
How early should the route go in?
Earlier than feels necessary, and much earlier if your date lands near a festival. Route approval is the item most likely to sit while everything else is ready, so put it at the front of the schedule and treat the band booking as something that follows it.
Is a summer date here workable at all?
It is, but only if the timeline is built around the heat rather than around the light. Afternoon outdoor stretches are the part that fails. Shorten the walk, keep water at both ends of it, and put the reception somewhere that can be cooled before anyone arrives.
What is the catch with a French Quarter venue?
Access. Narrow streets, no loading dock and a noise ordinance that ends the night on someone else's schedule. Ask where a truck actually parks, how far a case has to be carried, and what time the amplified music has to stop, before the room wins you over.
Guests are staying on Canal Street. Anything to tell them?
That distances look shorter on a map than they walk in August, and that a streetcar is charming until forty people need it at once. Give them a real travel time, and if you are moving a group between two venues, book the transport rather than hoping.
