About Michele…

MIchele is 4th generation New Orleanian and began her career in the hotel, restaurant and event planning industry in 1989. This experience enhanced her knowledge and helped her learn all of the important components of great events,: excellent food, fine wines, impeccable service, amazing ambiance and seamless execution.

In 2001, she left her corporate job to start Unique Weddings. She wanted to be able to create unique events across the many venues in the city. After 23 years she still remains passionate about the industry and constantly challenges herself to come up with fresh designs. When she isn’t working weddings you can find her spending time with her grandchildren and enjoying her farm in Franklinton, LA.

She embraced the industry when she graduated from high school and began working full-time in the catering and hotel side of events while attending UNO.

Her keen eye for design details and straightforward approach to planning helps her remain a popular planner in the city. She understands the complex dynamics of successful events and stops at nothing to be sure the execution is perfect. She spends most of her time with her 2 boys, Aydian and Braden.
