Getting Engaged – The Ritz Carlton, New Orleans

Pop the Question – then Pop the Champagne in The Big Easy

What is just as memorable and thrilling as your wedding day? Conceivably, it is the unforgettable, heart-stopping, ring-revealing, tear-inducing, question-of-a-lifetime, engagement proposal. For years, the iconic scene of a man taking a knee and offering a ring has been the traditional gesture of promising ever-lasting love but grooms today are showcasing a bit more creativity and often enlisting family and friends to help orchestrate and witness the event. Whatever your style, inquiring minds for years to come will want to know the age-old question: How you, or your fella, got down on one knee (did he or didn’t he) and put a ring on it.

 

Getting Acquainted

Whether your ideal engagement features just the starring couple or requires backup from your entourage – the Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans provides a festive and decidedly romantic backdrop to pop the question and then pop the Champagne.

Luxury, Southern graciousness and conviviality flow throughout the hotel from the grand marble-clad reception imbued with the subtle intoxicating aroma of their signature Southern magnolia scent, through the adjacent French and Garden District inspired courtyard, filled with lush greenery and charming seating vignettes, enticing couples to slow down and sip for a spell. Plush guestrooms offer a soothing respite and restful slumber after a day filled with revelry.

We Simply Adore

  • M Bistro provides delightful southern regional cuisine and farm-to-table dining experience with an added bit of tongue-in-cheek where couples can feast and toast with V.I.P. status in one of 3 private and lavishly draped “Cheaters’ Booth,” provocatively named: Stella, Desire, and Blanche. (Reservations a must)
