PLEASE CALL FIRST!

Before coming to see the chapel.

We do not want you waiting outside for a wedding to be over or even more then one wedding to be over!  We ask for those that just want to come see the chapel to give us at least 1 hour notice!  Thank you :)

Rates

We copy your license and include your 72 hour wavier (free) and we give the originals to the couple before leaving for mailing. 

A 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required a time of booking. Balances are due approximately 21 days before scheduled wedding date. Please specify date when paying by check or money order.   

Couples say, "it is just the 2 of us, is that the least expensive you have to offer?" The time booked is the same regardless if it is only the Bride and Groom or up to 15 guests.  We do understand couples may or may not have guests at their wedding, but our ceremonies costs are based on the time of day and day of week; holiday rates apply and are more expensive.  We offer a variety of ceremonies and amenities to fit everyone's budget.  We are the only wedding chapel in the French Quarter for over 11 years, changing laws to make getting your license easier and a lot more.

Specifics on Number of Guests at Various Locations.
Please Read Before Booking.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING INTO CHAPEL.

Due to high demand, additional time must be requested in advance. Each additional 30 minutes is $135.00.  Any guests arriving more then 15 minutes prior to scheduled ceremony time will be considered an extra 1/2 hour and will be charged accordingly. It is the wedding couple's responsibility to let their guests know of arrival times. Early arrival will be considered extra time. Standing capacity of chapel is 35-40, at other locations there is no extra charge by us.  You may have as many guests as you like at outdoor locations.

The Chapel will hold 35 guests plus couple.

It is $450 for couple and 15 guests for one hour (it does not take a hour for the wedding.)  We know that the time to start can very because of traffic, parking and other things can delay a wedding from start time.  

An additional $135 for 16 to 35 guests, small children are considered guests. An additional 30 minutes is included, if needed, with the added cost.

 Responsibilities when children are in attendance!

Each child must be supervised by one adult. We want children to be included in every couple's wedding.  If children are not attended to by responsible adults, the child/children and responsible adult will be asked to leave the chapel. The chapel is furnished with very expensive antiques and the wedding couple will be held responsible for any damage caused either by a child or any invited guests. The charge to replace an item will be automatically charged to the couple's credit/debit card. If wedding couple refused to compensate for damages caused by their guests, legal council will be secured by The French Quarter Wedding Chapel. We truly love to have wedding couple's and family's children attend, however, we want to make sure our chapel and contents are kept intact after the wedding ceremony. We have experiences valuable losses because guests of the wedding couple were a little over zealous and items got broke. We were not reimbursed for the items and we feel we need to let couples know their responsibilities when inviting guests.

If the wedding couple are bringing their children and there are no adults to watch them, we are able to provide a responsible adult during their time in the chapel.  The fee for the sitter is $25.00, two children maximum per sitter. If you do not hire a sitter when an adult is not present to attend to the child, we can not take the booking.  This requirement only applies for ceremonies held in the chapel.  Infants in strollers who are not walking yet do not need a sitter. 

All prices are subject to a 9.75% TAX.

All weddings plus services totaling more then$1,250 will have a added 20% Gratuity

One of our brides made me promised to tell everyone about the fun they had 'Just the 2 of them.'

They told no body about their wedding and had about 50 to 60 party goers jumping in, and dancing in the street! With a police escort  stopping all traffic so the party dose not stop.  If your route goes down Canal St. they stop all (what a sight to see!)  We just took the party down Bourbon St. 8:30 PM on Mardi-Gras (Great fun.)
