La Petite Creations Wedding Planning Agency

  • Serves New Orleans, LA

Hey, yall! I’m Kiara, the heart and hustle behind La Petite Creations— wedding planner, vibe curator, and your go-to-girl for making wedding magic happen. At La Petite Creations, our goal is to make each event fun and stress-free. My commitment to wedding planning is the heart of what I do, ensuring each client receives a highly customized experience, with trusted expertise and a pop of personality every single time.

I’m not even sure where to begin. I reached out to Kiara @ La Petite Creations in July 2024, when I first began planning my June 2025 destination wedding. I had come across her business page on social media, and reached out to inquire about a consultation. I knew that I wanted a very personalized experience & felt that I would get that from LPC. After our first conversation, I knew that I had made the right choice. Throughout my entire wedding planning period, Kiara exceeded my expectations. We planned an entire destination wedding weekend for 100 of our relatives close friends. Kiara helped plan our welcome party, as well as our wedding ceremony reception. Our entire process was collaborative, and Kiara perfectly balanced bringing my vision to life while adding all of the special touches that she knew we needed. She was always responsive, professional, and energetic. Whenever I had a concern or frustration, she always assured me that everything would come together perfectly. And it absolutely did. Our weekend was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have done it without Kiara and the LPC staff. Kiara is extremely creative, and was able to design so many customized details for our wedding weekend. Our guests loved the logo, the wedding newspaper, and the wedding merch station — all designed by Kiara. Every single base was covered, down to the pre-scheduled messages that guests received throughout the weekend to keep them informed. What began as a casual inquiry in the very beginning stages of planning the most important weekend of my life, ended with me not only having the most perfect celebration of my love story with my favorite people, but finding genuine friendship in Kiara. The cherry on top? My family & friends absolutely loved her! I’m forever grateful to her for making sure that our weekend was memorable for us and our guests.

R&R Productions

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,599
  • Serves New Orleans, LA

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

Any talented wedding videographer can create a romantic cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. That is the most distinguishing feature about the videos we create. While, we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique.

Gordon was incredible to work with from start to finish! We had a big church wedding and he captured it all! Our highlight video is so poignant and special to us and everyone who watches it tears up. He was so prompt in returning our videos and even a year later when I needed help with accessing the videos again (because I am so not tech savy), he texted back within minutes to help me.

I lived in 4 different countries by the time I was 10 years old and since then I have visited new places all over the world. My love for taking pretty photos has been with me for as long as I can remember. I was always the kid with the disposable camera running around taking photos of everything in sight.

We wanted pictures that captured our personalities and were filled with moments we could treasure for a lifetime. They took both our engagement photos (which involved climbing onto the roof of a building) and wedding photos (both my husband and I are terrible at posing for pictures) and could not be happier with what they were able to capture. They are easy to work with, very thorough, and willing to work with you to really make your vision come true! After the wedding ends, the pictures are really all you have to document the special moments of the night.

Andrew Alwert Studios is a professional photography studio. Our mission is to create timeless art through a documentary-style approach using medium format film and digital photography. We produce colorful content and enjoy connecting with every client we work with on a personal and professional level.

Andrew isn’t just a photographer—he’s an artist, a professional, and someone who became a true friend throughout our wedding journey. We originally hired Andrew as part of our New Orleans wedding dream team. I found him by going through tagged photos of our original venue—while most looked similar (lots of light and airy styles), every time a photo stood out to me as creative, candid, moody, or just flat-out cool… it was always one of Andrew’s. I knew I had to have him. I was thrilled when he was available for our big day—and even more blown away when he was excited to pivot with us when our plans completely changed. After we found out we were expecting a baby—and due the same week as our NOLA wedding—we made the tough decision to cancel the original event. We rescheduled everything on a tight timeline and relocated the wedding to Massachusetts. Andrew didn’t hesitate. He was all in, genuinely enthusiastic, and just as committed to making the new plan feel special. He made the long trip to MA with the most positive energy and attitude, and from start to finish, he made the process so fun. He and my planner Donna instantly clicked—they truly partnered up and helped bring our reimagined wedding to life. Watching them work together felt like magic. Andrew’s photography style is incredible. He has such range—editorial, moody, candid, light and airy—he blends them in a way that feels completely unique. His shots never feel staged or predictable; they’re emotional, rich, and full of life. He gave us just enough direction to get gorgeous, creative shots, while also encouraging us to interact naturally. It was the perfect balance. My husband hates taking pictures—he’s normally wide-eyed and frozen or giving a fake smile. But Andrew completely changed that. He made him feel relaxed and confident, and the difference in the photos was unreal. Every shot looked natural and joyful. We did both our engagement shoot and wedding with Andrew, and my husband—who initially grumbled about even hiring a photographer—ended up loving working with him. On top of all that, Andrew was incredibly professional, communicative, and responsive the entire way through. And somehow, despite all the stress of replanning a wedding in 12 weeks, he kept us grounded and laughing the whole time. One of my favorite moments he captured was this Beatles-style shot of us crossing the street—it was creative, playful, and so us. Everyone who’s seen it has commented on how cool it is. Andrew didn’t just deliver photos—he delivered art and a genuinely amazing experience. I can’t imagine having had anyone else by our side. Book him while you can.

The Creole Creamery 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves New Orleans, LA

Creole Creamery was found right here in the heart of New Orleans and continues to be a local hot spot. Creole Creamery offers a wide variety of flavors from the classics to the unbelievable. All our ice creams are made fresh daily and change with the seasons. When you come in you never know what you might find!

Working with The Creole Creamery was a seamless experience from start to finish. Their communication was quick and transparent, with no hidden costs. Their ice cream is truly the best - it was the perfect dessert for our wedding, especially since my spouse is gluten intolerant. Going for ice cream at Creole Creamery is one of our favorite date night activities, so it was a natural choice for our wedding. Based on the size of our wedding, they advised us to order a la carte rather than a catering package, which was very helpful. We're so grateful to the Creole Creamery team for making our special day even sweeter!
