Pirate's Alley New Orleans
Pirates Alley Weddings Pirate's Alley, as many call it, was originally named Orleans Alley but locals always called it Pirate Alley. The St. Louis Cathedral is to the right. On the left, is the Cabildo (the Old Spanish Governor's Mansion), and directly behind the Cabildo was the Spanish Jail. The
alley is one block long, and extends from Chartres St. at Jackson Square to
Royal St. Halfway down the alley, a lamppost marks its intersection by Cabildo
Alley , which extends (the width of the Cabildo) to St. Peter St. near the Gumbo
Shop. This is likely one of the most famous lampposts of the French Quarter, as
it has been photographed and painted many times, Many weddings are now
performed under the several lampposts in the alleys. Several local restaurants are nearby for food service. The Gumbo Shop, link- http://www.gumboshop.com/, Muriels, and The Court of Two Sisters are restaurants close to Pirates Alley. The Place D'Armes and Bourbon Orleans Hotels are close. We can meet in front of the Cabildo and pick a nice spot for the ceremony near Jackson Square. Simple Elopement: Meet Dr. Schwehm at the Pirates Alley Lamp Post near Cabildo for a simple ceremony. Must bring a Louisiana Marriage License. No frills. The Alley is a walkway and cannot be blocked off so the ceremony must be short and small, not large with a lot of people.

New Orleans Marriage License Information: Brides and Grooms are responsible for obtaining the
marriage license from the State of Louisiana before the wedding ceremony.
Either person may obtain the license from the State Office of Vital Records or
other Parish Clerks of Court offices. Any valid Louisiana license can allow a ceremony
in any Louisiana location. A Louisiana License obtained in Lafayette, Lake
Charles, or Baton Rouge, La. is good in New Orleans. Identification is
required along with authentic copies of birth certificates and any divorce
judgments. In some cities there is a three-day waiting period from the time the
license is issued, it can be waived by a judge. In New Orleans the wait can be
waived by the minister. Dr. Schwehm can issue waivers when needed. No medical tests are necessary. The license is good for
30 days. You must present the license to the person doing the ceremony in
advance as it requires the officiant to complete some portions. A ceremony
must be conducted before 2 adult witnesses who also sign the certificates.
The cost of the license is just under $30.00 paid to the State. Temporay Office due to storm: Be sure to check on times and locations as they have changed since the Storm.
