We’re excited to spend a few meaningful days with the people we love in one of the greatest cities in the world, sharing the places and experiences that matter to us. There’s a lot to take in, so pace yourself.
*Why “Lagniappe?”
When Jackie and Alex first met in Portland, Oregon in 2016, Alex would always use this word, which only rang a bell from Jackie's previous trips to New Orleans. It was his WiFi password, hard to spell, and a nod to his time living in New Orleans.
Ever since then, they’ve tried to embody the spirit of the word in their relationship (and their outfits). Lagniappe is a Cajun-French word rooted in Spanish and indigenous languages and it represents generosity. We also encourage “a little something extra” in your dress code throughout the weekend.
If you’re in town, we’ll be hanging out at at GALAXIE TACOS to warm up the weekend.

We’ve done our best to curate as many details of the weekend as possible, including where you stay. Each of the options below offers a room block, and we hope one feels just right for you.
Four historic 19th-century buildings—a church, rectory, schoolhouse, and convent—now reimagined as an elegant neighborhood hotel.

They had the privilege of living (and working) out of a Jeep Wrangler for two years during the pandemic. They logged 16,000 miles, visited 35+ states, and took countless roadside Zoom meetings. Eventually, they traded one Wrangler for another and settled in New York City with their perfect rescue pup.
We’d never jinx it by making any bold predictions, but November is typically one of New Orleans’ driest months. Hurricane season will be behind us, and we’re manifesting clear skies and crisp air, with temperatures usually in the high 50s to low 60s.
We are usually the-more-the-merrier type people, but if your invite did not explicitly mention your plus one, the answer is no. We have strict capacity limits at all the venues.
We adore all of your little ones, but this weekend is designed for adults. We know some of you may bring your kids and provide your own childcare coverage, and we think that’s great since New Orleans is family friendly.
While we're providing a few accommodation options, there's no limit to great places to stay in New Orleans. Here are a few other hotel options that don't have a room block, but offer a range of price points in good neighborhoods. The Barnett, Virgin Hotel, The Eliza Jane, The Chloe, The Roosevelt and Hotel Saint Vincent.
See top 10 above and check out recommendations from Hotel Peter and Paul, the New York Times, and Alex’s Everything in New Orleans is a Good Idea list.
