Jackson Square
Pirates Alley
Pirates 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. This is likely one of the most famous lampposts of the French Quarter, as long and as often as Pirate Alley has been photographed and painted. Many weddings are now performed under the several lampposts in the alleys. Much legend swirls around Pirate’s Alley and its location between the original Spanish prison and the Cathedral.
Riverwalk
The Riverwalk also known as ‘The Moonwalk’ is a great spot where you can be near the mighty Mississippi river while saying “I Do”. It's a popular place for visitors who come here to enjoy the view and escape the humidity of the city; thanks to a constant breeze the air feels a lot fresher and cooler here. So if you enjoy the outdoors and the tunes of rippling water, this is the perfect spot to say “I Do”
Below are several hot spots that you can say ‘I Do’ in the famous French Quarter. Please take moment and review a few of the locations that are popular.
Washington Artillery
The Washington Artillery is a great spot to say ‘I Do’. One side of the park overlooks Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral and the other side of the park overlooks the Mississippi River. Finding privacy in this location is tricky, but if you are in for an applaud; this is the place for you.
Spanish Fountain
Originally known as Eads Plaza, the area was dedicated to the City of New Orleans by Spain in 1976. It serves as a memorial to the common history that Spain and New Orleans share, as well as a pledge of future fraternity. The plaza also memorializes 19th century civil engineer James Buchanan Eads, who improved the navigability of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico by creating a jetty system. At the center of Spanish Plaza lies a beautiful fountain, surrounded by benches which feature a tiled mosaic honoring the seals of the provinces of Spain. Spanish Plaza plays host to many festivities throughout the year, including the annual meeting of the monarchs of the Rex and Zulu Mardi Gras krewes on Lundi Gras day. The Carnival kings traditionally arrive by boat to Spanish Plaza, and greet the mayor who presents them with a ceremonial key to the city for Mardi Gras.
