New Orleans, Louisiana

Music & Entertainment

In New Orleans: The second line is the thing this city gives you that nowhere else can, and it is a permit, not a decision. A parade on public streets needs a permit and a police escort arranged in advance, and the band, the grand marshal and the handkerchiefs and parasols are usually booked as one package by people who do this every weekend. Get the paperwork owner named in writing — your planner, your band or you. For the rest, a jazz trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour and a brass band or a dance band for the reception is the standard shape. Confirm the venue's amplified-sound curfew before you plan a last dance around it; residential blocks in the Quarter and Marigny have real ones.
