Hi there! We’re the Nola Nerd Couple—a family passionate about pop culture, conventions, and sharing nerdy experiences. For over a decade, we’ve been sharing our adventures at conventions across the country and even overseas. As parents, we have a special passion for helping other families navigate and enjoy these incredible events. You could say (in an Obi-Wan voice) our specialty is family event coverage.
Through our website, we aim to inspire nerdy families by sharing our real-world experiences, practical tips, and the sheer joy of fandom. Many families appreciate our perspective, and we’d love to bring that authentic voice to the coverage of your event.
What We Enjoy Sharing About Conventions:
- The overall experience from a family’s point of view.
- Highlighting activities and aspects that kids (and parents!) will love.
- Offering helpful tips for making the most of the day with children.
- Showcasing the fun and inclusive atmosphere of fan events.
- Coverage for the first-time convention goer who is curious but feels out of place with our ComicCon-ing 101 series.
Events We’ve Been Part Of:
We’ve had the pleasure of covering some fantastic events, including:
- Star Wars Celebration: 2017 (Orlando), 2019 (Chicago)
- Fan Expo New Orleans: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

Let’s Connect!
If you’d like to have the Nola Nerd Couple experience your convention or event (whether local to the Gulf South or further afield) and share our honest family perspective with our audience, we’d love to learn more. We’re always looking for new and interesting events to explore and write about authentically.
We’re a small, fan-run site focused on sharing the convention experience from the perspective of a family. As a blog, we are not aiming to compete with larger nerdy media outlets like Nerdist, as our coverage reflects our journey as fans. For events with celebrity guests, please know that we typically focus on the overall atmosphere and family-friendly aspects rather than seeking celebrity interviews, as that’s outside the scope of our site.
Please note that, as this is a passion project and our family remains our top priority, our ability to attend and cover events is dependent on our schedules and commitments. However, we are always eager to explore opportunities to share our experiences.
Feel free to contact us and tell us about your event. We’re open to discussing how we can potentially attend and share our genuine thoughts with our community.
We look forward to the possibility of experiencing and honestly providing family event coverage of what your event has to offer!
