Congratulations on Your Engagement!

Louisiana law allows out of state residents to get married in New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA), without a waiting period!

Below is information about weddings in the New Orleans area and my wedding officiant services.

Please consider timing your wedding with any of our wonderful festivals and other events such as Mardi Gras, JazzFest, Celebration in the Oaks.

Visit the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention & Visitor's Bureau for tourism, activities, festival information and discount offers.

A special note: New Orleans Needs You!

As you make your wedding or vacation plans this year, please consider coming to New Orleans. Many of the local businesses, restaurants and hotels are up and running, but due to a generally negative national media image, many are struggling to stay open. You can help reverse this catastrophic trend by coming to New Orleans. Now.

It has never been easier to get a table at one of our famous world-class restaurants, or find a great deal on a room at one of our historic hotels or B&B’s. Come explore the storied plantations, take a swamp tour and hear some of the greatest music on the planet. New Orleans is also proud to be the port of embarkation for three cruise ship lines. The Norwegian Spirit and Carnival Fantasy are home ported here, with the Princess line right behind them, and what better city could you begin and end a cruise from? Add a few days on either end of your trip to take in the history and culture of one of the world’s most romantic cities.

A great place to start planning your trip is the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau. Request a Visitor’s Guide, plan your itinerary, or even register to win a ride on a Mardi Gras float! Be sure to check out the events calendar to coincide your trip with one of our famous festivals. And if you have a big heart and a lot of ambition, check out the Voluntourism page.

I’ll be frank; many of us are fighting for survival a second time. First we were inundated by the ineptitude of The Army Corps of Engineers, and many of us feel we were abandoned by our government. You’re all we’ve got left. We need you, the people, to come to our rescue. In order to rescue us, you’ll be required to eat, drink, dance, sing and generally pass a good time. You’ll be asked to endure the hospitality and friendliness of a city famous for both. It will be expected of you, after sacrificing your hard earned dollars, to continue your patriotic duty by becoming ambassadors and preaching the Gospel of New Orleans to your fellow citizens. The Crescent City has risen! But you are its savior.

We look forward to seeing you. Don’t be afraid to ask for directions, how to pronounce Tchoupitoulas, or which stage to go to at Jazz Fest. We’ll be more than happy to oblige, and we’ll thank you for coming, friend.

Parrot Heads
Jimmy Buffett Day
JazzFest 2006


We cannot thank you and Samantha enough for truly the most memorable day of our lives. The wedding was perfectly suited for us. The weather held out and family, friends and Jazz Fest buddies were there. We couldn't have found a more ideal person to perform our ceremony which exactly represented who we are. It really was a unique experience.

Samantha's pictures were precisely want we wanted, not the normal staged photographs, but definitely a true representation of the event.

We can never thank you enough.




Hi Rev. Don,

We are enjoying the photos so much. Family and friends are requesting their favorites!

Warm regards!
