I could not pull off a wonderful review like this without a great venue partner. For brides looking for an all inclusive destination wedding location, the Canal Street is awesome and perfect. One of our happy clients: I am beyond grateful to have had Kristen as our wedding planner for our destination wedding at the Canal Street Inn. Planning a wedding from out of town can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process not just manageable, but truly enjoyable! From the very beginning, Kristen took the time to understand our vision and preferences. She provided invaluable insights into the local culture and customs, ensuring that our wedding was a beautiful blend of our personal touch and the charm of the destination. What impressed me the most was her incredible organization and communication skills. Despite the distance Kristen kept us informed every step of the way, coordinating everything from vendor bookings to logistics. She always made time to answer all our questions, making us feel connected and supported throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Kristen and her team worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went perfectly. They managed all the details seamlessly, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our family and friends. It was truly a dream come true, and I was able to enjoy every moment without any stress. Thank you, Kristen and PK Events for your dedication, creativity, and hard work. You turned our destination wedding into a magical experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially if you’re looking for someone who can expertly handle the complexities of a destination event!- Love, September Bride

Hi! I didn't realize it at first, but photography has always been a meaningful part of my life. I often admired my dad's prints of birds at the Audubon Zoo hung in the house, and when my mom would share boxes of photos, I couldn't help but feel wonder while turning each page. By the time I was in high school, I always had a disposable in my pocket. It was so exciting to snap those brief moments to be remembered and retold in the future. Although I have decades of experience behind the lens, it was not until 2020 that I officially opened by business as a freelancer. I love working with others, and eager to help tell your story.

Stephen Lomonaco Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Stephen made sure he communicated and asked questions so that he can meet all of our needs and wants. The pictures are phenomenal!!! Breathtaking! It rained on our special day, but that did not affect the level of his photography skills. Actually, it was like a Hallmark love story. I am looking forward to working with him on our family photo shoot soon.

I am so excited to write this review for the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar Team. We live in Maryland, and while I have family who is local to NOLA, we were taking a chance on a venue we had never visited. But, even working with Chloe before our contract was signed, I felt confident that all of my questions were getting answered, and that even the questions I hadn’t thought to ask, would still be taken care of. And I was right. We worked with their team from June 2023 to our wedding weekend August 2024 and Chloe and I slowly worked through every possible detail before we arrived. We got to visit the venue in January and they were such gracious hosts to us and my family. We even got to meet more of the team, all just as warm and kind. During our visit they treated us to a bar tasting to curate our menu with their award winning bar tenders, as well as had our caterers come in to customize our menu. And the food, was of course New Orleans level taste and quality. DELICIOUS. We were huge fans of all the vendors they suggested, from the band, to the bakeries for our cake, to the amazing photographer and videographer skills you see in the photos attached. They prioritized our needs, and always listened to what we requested, while also providing expert guidance when we weren’t sure what was the best plan. Even in the middle of the thunderstorms that arrived the week leading up to our day, they ensured our plan was in tact with a tent that was so beautifully decorated I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of the original layout. As our guests arrived to stay for the weekend, and filed in on Saturday for the wedding, we continued to receive such beautiful feedback on how attentive they were to guests before, during, and after the wedding. We plan to continue to be visitors of this awesome hotel and bar to reminisce our magical day, but I want to make sure other couples get the chance to experience the care, warmth, and amazing service provided by the Royal Frenchmen team for their special day.

Hey there! My name is Quinn, and I am Fine Art Wedding Photographer. I am an artist, a mother, a friend, a world traveler, and by divine law, genetics or fate, a photographer. Coming from a family of photographers (4 generations and counting), I've learned that documentation is a necessity in life. Without it, how else would we remember those fleeting, timeless moments? With this foundation and the constant inspiration around me, I started XO Quinntographer, a visually stimulating wedding documentary service that explores all of the aspects of photojournalism, and capturing everything worth celebrating: love, family, friendship and art.

Wow. These are so amazing. Words can't even close to describing how happy we are with our engagement photos. You absolutely captured everything that we wanted in the location and the shots. I really can't say enough about how happy we are with these. You have a wonderful eye for colors, lighting, and shot selections. I can't thank you enough. We will definitely be cherishing your work and these pictures for a very long time.

Hi, I'm Kayla, a Louisiana Photographer that will travel anywhere! I introduced myself to photography by taking a trip to Israel in college I was selected to attend. I purchased a cheap camera for the trip, came home and was suggested to start taking photos. Well, after telling myself no, here I am! I love meeting new people and getting creative with a camera in my hands. Photography just so happened to fall into my lap God. I am also a college graduate from University of Louisiana at Lafayette with bachelors degree in finance. I know, way off from Photography, lol! I’ve now been photographing for 7 years. I love, LOVE on camera!

Kayla Lazard Photography is an incredible wedding photographer that I would highly recommend to any couple. From the moment we first spoke, Kayla's open communication style and ability to really listen and guide us made us feel so at ease. She has an incredible talent for bringing visions to life, and the quality of her work is truly top-tier. In fact, her photography is so amazing that I think she should be shooting with celebrities and at all the red carpet events! After seeing my engagement photos, my bridesmaids underestimated her work by believing she was a white girl…they were even waiting in anticipation to see Kayla's work from my wedding day. And she did not disappoint - Kayla kept me calm and composed throughout the day, never forcing me to pose in any way just to get the job done. You can tell she puts so much love, thought, and artistry into every image. Kayla also has great rapport with the other vendors, ensuring we were all working together seamlessly as one team. I would highly recommend booking Kayla Lazard Photography as soon as possible - she is in very high demand, so be sure to reserve her for your wedding day, engagement session, and any other photography needs all at once to ensure you don't miss out. She is truly the dopest!

Though weddings do involve countless grand traditions, these time-honored rituals share space with some of the most quirky, silly, touching, and profoundly, uniquely personal experiences that a family will ever share. As a photojournalist, I'm there to capture these moments - all of the things that make your wedding YOUR wedding. Some of the details are elegant...some are fun...some might just be flat-out strange. But they're all a part of what makes you, your relationship, and your wedding unique. You put a lot of work into making your wedding a true reflection of your personality. My job is to do the exact same thing for your photos.

I had a very small elopement ceremony in City Park and by small, I mean six people in total including the officiant and photographer. None of which had much experience in weddings, save for Willow, who became the impromptu director, patiently explaining to us the set ups for each of the photos and walked us through the majority of the ceremony. She’s incredibly sweet, kind, and funny and made the whole experience very fun and easy! She knew the best places to get great shots and my photos turned out so incredibly beautiful. Her editing style is impeccable and she goes above and bring to make sure you’re happy with every aspect of your photos! She’s very thorough and accommodating, and I got them back super fast compared to what I was expecting. Overall incredible experience, I recommend her to everyone I know!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a pre-wedding event aboard the Steamboat NATCHEZ for my cousin, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we boarded, the experience was nothing short of magical. The boat itself is stunning, with its elegant, classic design and incredible views of the Mississippi River. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of from helping us with the setup to making sure our guests were well-attended throughout the evening.

  • Event extras

  • Serves New Orleans, LA

My wife and I have been doing personalized art services for years, and have only recently started to lean into events. We love the idea of making lasting memories of people's happiest moments, and doing it in unusual and timeless ways! We like to travel so dont have any problem with destination events or stuff outside our home region. We also know planning these things is stressful enough already, so we keep things nice and easy for you. We're laid back in demeanor, but years of service industry work has made us efficient and attentive to detail.

Alchemist Studio Box Photography was a cool and great value addition to our wedding day. They became a hub for a group of the reception party who spent ages taking pictures and having fun. The photographers were very nice and even helped out with other stuff sometimes. They were really attentive to what we wanted and the vibe of our reception, and were punctual and set up their area easily, with a great eye to how they fit into the space. People loved the box and the photos, and they were a pleasure to work with overall.

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800

I'm Jen! I'm a proud Coast Guard spouse who knows all too well the importance of documenting those fleeting moments. I'm a homeschooling mom of 2 girls, lover of Costco and cold plunging and a photographer. I currently live and run my business in New Orleans, but I am originally from Connecticut. I love photographing couples both in my current home (NOLA!) and my always home (CT).

Jen Wolfe is the best!!! We were going to New Orleans to elope and didn’t know any photographers- my (now) husband is a photographer and so he was very discerning when it came to editing styles- he looked over many websites before settling on Jen because she takes beautiful pictures that don’t need over editing. We are so happy we chose her- from the first communication I knew we were in good hands! She knew the venue also which was super helpful. She was prompt and professional and wow was she fast in getting the pictures to us and we are so happy with what she captured on our special day. Honestly we couldn’t be any happier! Thank you Jen Wolfe!!

New Orleans, LA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $800

The NOLA Brass band is a lively second line styled brass band from New Orleans, LA. It began in 2005 originally with humble beginnings only having three members walking around the 7th ward playing out of the love of the music. Over the course of 12 years, the band would flourish to 8 members along with overcoming many obstacles and setting many milestones for such young musicians. We have recorded 3 studio albums, performed in numerous states and festivals including the Jazz and Heritage festival and Honkfest in Texas. The band genre covers traditional jazz, funk, hip-hop, and pop tunes We guarantee you will move your feet!

One of the best choices we made during our wedding process. I was extremely tired at the end of my reception and their music made everyone catch a second wind! Would book them over and over again.
