New Orleans Elopement Guide: How to Get Married 24/7 in the French Quarter

One of my absolute favorite things to hear about is people jetting off to Las Vegas to get hitched by Elvis. I have always loved the vibe of a fun, spontaneous Vegas wedding. But let’s be real, you don’t actually have to book a flight to Nevada to get that thrilling, on-the-spot romance. There is a hidden gem tucked right into the heart of the Big Easy that completely rivals the strip.

Did you know the French Quarter has a 24/7 wedding chapel?

If you are walking down Bourbon Street, feeling the magic of New Orleans, and suddenly decide you want to do something totally wild and marry your lover on the spot, you don't even have to wait. You can walk right on over to 333 Burgundy Street.

The French Quarter Wedding Chapel is a popular, full-service venue known for its incredibly romantic, shabby-chic atmosphere. It holds the title of the only wedding chapel in the historical French Quarter, and yes, it literally operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Whether you are looking for a super quick, stress-free elopement or a slightly larger celebration with your inner circle, they have packages for everything. They offer beautiful traditional ceremonies, but because it’s NOLA, you can also opt for awesome themed weddings. You can add on gorgeous amenities like photography, live music from a harpist or violinist, and even a romantic, horse-drawn carriage ride through the historic streets.

If you want a private location with genuine New Orleans flair, or even an outdoor ceremony in a courtyard, a local park, or a balcony overlooking the city, their officiants will travel to make it happen. If you need to elope, skip Vegas and come to the Quarter!
