CVB


If there is one thing New Orleans does right is how to welcome travelers far and wide with open arms. The New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau is a non-profit group that assists travelers with a variety of concerns; even weddings . Here is just a snippet of what they do free of charge to make your wedding planning easier:

· locate 10 or more hotel rooms in New Orleans for the big day;

· learn details regarding marriage license requirements;

· explore reception, ceremony and rehearsal party venue options; and

· research caterers, florists and other wedding product and service professionals.

Leslie Straughn assisted us with our room block and we had 40 or so hotels in the New Orleans contact us with room block proposals. We were able to pick the ones with the best offers and take it from there. If you are not getting married in New Orleans it's worth a check to see if your local visitors bureau offers the same service!
