What a night! After the ceremony at Holy Name, we were off to the beautiful courtyard of the St. Louis Hotel in the French Quarter for the reception. As is usually the case, everyone seemed to really love this venue, and I overheard one guest exclaiming “this is the most beautiful wedding reception I’ve ever been to!”

Most of those in attendance were from out of town, so the conclusion of the night was an extra special treat. The fabulous Pin-Stripe Brass Band led everyone in a second line march around the courtyard, and then we headed out onto the street. A second line through the French Quarter is always a special occasion, but to march down Bourbon Street, packed with revelers from the Mardi Gras parade earlier cheering and snapping pictures from the sidewalks and balconies, was a truly incredible experience that I am sure none of them, nor the bride and groom, will ever forget.
