We couldn't be happier to summon you to New Orleans, LA, one of our favorite spooky cities, to celebrate our wedding during All Hallows' Eve with a weekend of magic October 30–31, 2026.

Love, Alex & Cesar

New Orleans might be the most haunted city in America — full of great music, old cocktails, and even older ghosts. We can't wait to bring some of you back with us, and to show the rest of you why we love it so.

Halloween in New Orleans is one of the busiest weekends of the year, and rooms in and around the French Quarter fill up fast — we strongly suggest booking your stay as soon as possible.

Here are a few places we love, all a short trip from the French Quarter and our wedding venue, The Lanaux Mansion:

Hotel Peter & Paul

Website · Faubourg Marigny, 10 min. walk

A converted 19th-century church, schoolhouse, and rectory in the Marigny. Atmospheric and very close to The Lanaux.

Four Seasons

Website · Central Business District, 10 min. drive

If you want to be thoroughly taken care of on the Mississippi River, with sweeping views of the Quarter.

The Barnett — formerly The Ace

Website · Central Business District, 12 min. drive

Stylish, central, with a good bar and rooftop. The former Ace Hotel — now under Hyatt — keeps its creative bones, right in the heart of the Warehouse Arts District.

Virgin Hotel

Website · Central Business District, 12 min. drive

Modern and lively, a bit more downtown. A good pick if you want a newer, full-service hotel with a rooftop pool and an easy ride to the venue.

Hotel Saint Vincent

Website · Garden District, 10 min. drive

A little further out in the beautiful Garden District, but it's where we got engaged, so we recommend it for sentimental reasons as much as anything.

Airbnb

Website · Various locations

The French Quarter, Marigny, and Bywater are full of beautiful short-term rentals, and splitting a place with other guests can be a great way to go — just book early, since Halloween listings disappear quickly.
