The city is highly walkable and very Uber, bike, pedicab, and trolley-friendly, making it easy to explore without a car. Shuttle Transportation Prior to Ceremony:Shuttles will depart The Roosevelt and The Hotel Fontenot at 5:15 pm to bring guests to the ceremony. Guests staying at Windsor Court can walk through the back of the hotel and catch the Hotel Fontenot Shuttle. Guests may drive to the Ceremony and Reception, but street parking is limited.
