Why the French Quarter is the Perfect Backdrop for Your Elopement
You want something beautiful, easy, and actually fun? Skip the ballroom and come to the French Quarter. A French Quarter elopement means saying your vows somewhere with actual character – think iron balconies, hidden courtyards, and that old New Orleans charm you can’t copy from Instagram.
We handle the details so you don’t have to. You’ll show up looking incredible, marry your person in a spot that feels like it was made for you, and leave with wedding photos that actually look like you.
No stress, no stiff poses. Just you two, somewhere iconic, with a team who knows how to keep it relaxed, fun, and genuinely beautiful. And hey – don’t be surprised if a few tourists cheer you on, raise a glass, or ask for a selfie. That’s part of the charm.
Our French Quarter wedding packages keep it simple and high-quality – so you get to actually enjoy your day without the planning burnout.
You’ll feel calm, taken care of, and a little giddy. And when it’s all said and done, you’ll have one hell of a story (and the photos to prove it).

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can we elope in the French Quarter?
The French Quarter offers a mix of iconic and tucked-away spots for your elopement—each with its own New Orleans flavor:
Jackson Square – A historic landmark featuring the stunning St. Louis Cathedral as your backdrop. A permit is required.
Pirate’s Alley – This narrow cobblestone alley runs alongside the cathedral and is perfect for couples looking for a romantic, storybook setting with fewer crowds and tons of charm.
Exchange Alley – A quiet little gem off Royal Street with classic French Quarter architecture, iron balconies, and that dreamy, lived-in look you want in your wedding photos.
Whether you want something iconic or low-key, these spots capture the real soul of New Orleans—and make for a French Quarter elopement that’s anything but ordinary. There are also many private options that are stunning, ask us for a detailed list!
Do we need a permit to elope in the French Quarter?
Yes, certain locations within the French Quarter require permits:
Jackson Square: Requires a permit for ceremonies. Only one wedding is allowed at a time, so it’s essential to apply in advance.
Pirate’s Alley and Exchange Alley: Typically does not require a permit, but it’s advisable to check with local authorities or your elopement photographer to confirm current regulations.
What do French Quarter elopement packages typically include?
Elope to Nola packages include photography, officiant, florals and a cake. Just bring your marriage license and rings!
What’s the best time of year to elope in the French Quarter?
New Orleans is fun and unique year-round, but some seasons definitely shine more than others:
Spring (March to May) – Arguably the best time. The weather is warm but not sweltering, the azaleas are blooming, and the Quarter feels alive.
Fall (October to early December) – Another sweet spot. Cooler temps, fewer tourists, and golden light that photographers (and couples) love.
Summer (June to September) – Hot. Humid. Sweaty. Still doable if you’re brave, but be ready for that New Orleans heat. And be ready for late afternoon elopements – one hour before sunset.
Winter (mid-December to February) – Mild and peaceful. If you want a quiet, cozy vibe without the crowds, this is your season.
Bottom line: There’s no wrong time for a French Quarter wedding, but if you want that just-right mix of good weather and good energy, aim for spring or fall.
