Identify Your Style:

We approach your wedding like a blank canvas. We begin sketching your personal style and tastes, while carefully recognizing your likes and dislikes. Your wedding should begin and end with all that is important to you. Every aspect of your wedding plans are identified by this sense of style including the development of a special logo or motif that will be carried throughout the event, selecting your favorite colors and flowers, creating a unique décor concept, selecting your reception entertainment, customizing a menu, beverage offerings, and your wedding and groom's cake.

A Simplistic Approach to Planning:

Our goal is to make the complexity of wedding planning seem uncomplicated, undemanding and unproblematic. Unique Weddings in New Orleans offers full service bridal consulting and coordination of services such as save-the-date cards, invitations, programs, ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, entertainment, photography, videography, orchestration of transportation, special décor (chairs, linens, lighting) and tent rentals, weekend itineraries, goodie bags and favors.

Sensible Decision Making Process

Unique Weddings in New Orleans will go “beyond your expectations” by defining a budget for each essential component of your wedding. We will then prioritize the special details that will compliment your wedding day. Through years of planning, we have established relationships with local vendors and venues which will enable you to choose from the very best. We will assist you in identifying the venues most suited to your style, taste and budget. We will further help you identify the venue most conducive to your vision for your wedding day and that will allow the flow and orchestration that you desire.

Creating Flow, Vendor Confirmations and the Execution of Your Wedding Day:

Creating Flow:

Once all the necessary elements of your wedding are in place, we will then begin to customize the flow of your event, creating a detailed time-line. Not one detail will go unaddressed in our time-lines. The time-line begins from the moment you wake up, to the very end of the day.

Vendor Confirmations:

The week of your wedding each vendor will receive detailed instructions including arrival time, arrival location and the time-line that we have created together. The information is followed up with a phone call ensuring each vendor has received the information and then one-day prior to your wedding day, the vendors receive another phone call to discuss any last minute questions or changes. This confirmation process has proven to be very effective in proper coordination of your wedding day, allowing you, your family and friends to enjoy your wedding week.

Event Execution:

We are available for up to 6 hours on your wedding day and will arrive 1 ½ to 2 hours prior to ceremony time.
