FAQs: Eloping in New Orleans

There are many factors that affect elopement costs, such as what’s included and how experienced your vendors are. All-inclusive pricing can range from $2900 to $10k+ for a full day destination experience. What we will say is that it’s typically much, much less than a traditional wedding.

YES, all images are professionally edited, enhanced and print ready. Finished in vibrant color and some we select to be converted to b&w.

We at Ibay focus on the experience for all of our couples. We are not just photographers, but elopement specialists. Yes…we take timeless, artful & intimate photos but we pride ourselves on your full experience both during consultations and on your special day! One tip we strongly urge is to look at portfolios of photographers you like to find a style that resonates with you. Visit our Gallery, and See Our Testimonials.

Yes, will walk you through the steps to get your marriage license and what paperwork is required. We also have a detailed blog with all the information required to obtain a Louisiana marriage license.

Absolutely! Once you book with us, we will provide a list of great vendors we trust.
Elopement ceremonies can be as simple or elaborate as you like. You can exchange personal vows, have a reading, or incorporate symbolic elements that reflect your love story. Ex: our favorite couple actually played their favorite song “Tina Turner – Simply the Best” and sang to each other during the vows 🙂 Or what if we spent the day together covering your ceremony, then a fun Nola cooking class, then custom desserts to toast your celebration. You can even surprise your guests with your elopement, have them show up to your favorite restaurant or bar and we marry you guys there. Fun, unique, exciting and special!

Elopement attire is entirely up to you! Choose something that makes you feel comfortable and confident, whether it’s a formal wedding dress and suit, or something more relaxed and adventurous. We personally love seeing colors and uniqueness. The beauty of an elopement is you can personalize everything including your attire! Get inspiration HERE

Absolutely! Even if it’s just the two of you or a few. A Second Line Parade is a New Orleans tradition—a lively, music-filled celebration led by a brass band, where you dance, wave handkerchiefs, and strut through the streets. The parade transforms your elopement into an unforgettable, uniquely NOLA experience. It’s super fun, a moment to soak in your love, and a chance to turn heads (in the best way). Plus, when else do you get your own personal parade? Do IT! You won’t regret it 🙂
To officially book your date, we just need a contract signed by both parties and a paid retainer. Once that’s taken care of, we’ll get the ball rolling to plan your best day ever — from locations to timeline and all those little details that make your elopement uniquely you.
