Hi! We are considering having our ceremony in Jackson Square, but I have a question for anyone who might be able to answer! What do you do about all of the tourists? When you get a permit through the parks department, does it give you exclusive access to the square for a short time, or can people wander through your wedding site? What's keeping them from sitting in your chairs? Knocking something over? Running through the aisle as you're walking down it? Jumping in and photobombing your photos?
I'm from New Orleans originally, and I have rarely seen the square empty. I've noticed pictures on the internet of it seemingly abandoned, with no art hanging on the fences, or no tourists peeking through the bars. I've never seen it like this in real life! Am I missing something? I am fantasizing about a ceremony there but keep freaking out imagining some hooligan yelling curse words out during the ceremony!
