A Bupp Event was built after a huge move to the south and a new baby in tow. After 7 months of an extended maternity leave from events and the DC market I found I really missed events! The creative designs, the logistical details, the 'friendor' relationships. I missed it all. I decided to dive back into events, most specifically weddings, giving me the opportunity to connect with all these beautiful couples and a whole new set of vendors.

Ashley was an amazing day of coordinator for my husband and I's small-ish (45 pp) wedding that still had a silly number of little details to tend to. From our planning call to the days leading up to the wedding to the day of, Ashley was on top all of the things (including the small details we would have forgotten that would have blown up in our faces day of!) in a way that was just right - nudging us to get things done and also giving us feedback and ideas about what might work/etc. since we are not wedding professionals. ;) She had the East Coast Energy that I craved combined with the NOLA local experience that we needed in planning a wedding in New Orleans while being from and living in NYC. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding who wants a super organized, warm, and easy to communicate with planner/coordinator!

I was a bridesmaid in this wedding and Erica truly kept everything together. She made sure we knew where to be, handled last-minute issues, communicated with vendors, and kept things moving without the bride ever feeling stressed. A lot happened behind the scenes and she handled it all calmly and professionally. The day honestly wouldn’t have gone as smoothly without her.

The Social Butterfly Wedding Co.

  • Serves Ponchatoula, LA

The Social Butterfly Wedding Co. is a two-best-friend team dedicated to creating seamless, joy-filled wedding days. With a love for details and meaningful moments, we help couples celebrate while we handle everything behind the scenes.

In truth, the only reason I was initially looking to hire a "day-of coordinator" is because the wedding venue required it. That said, within moments of working with Jerica on our wedding I knew that I would hire her over and over again even if there had been no requirement to do so. Jerica and Stephanie went above and beyond what I, and really my entire wedding party, expected from a "day-of coordinator." From our initial conversations in the planning phase to the rehearsal to the morning of the wedding to the end of the night, they were on top of everything. Everyone kept complimenting me for being such a "calm" bride -- I can now say they had a lot to do with that. I was able to be present on my wedding day because I could trust completely that any issues that might arise, they would have the know-how and confidence to handle them. In fact, I learned later that the ceremony would have been a total disaster had Jerica and Stephanie not stepped up and took control of the situation. The experience Jerica has accumulated in all of her past endeavors lends itself beautifully to this new role. I wholeheartedly recommend and actually urge anyone looking for a wedding coordinator to do themselves a favor by hiring Jerica and her team.

Allison Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first meeting, Allison and her team were organized, attentive, and straight-forward in their communication, making the planning process a breeze. They were incredibly dedicated and helpful, going above and beyond to find vendors that fit our budget and location, and ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly from start to finish. Even though Allison was freshly postpartum, she and her team were fully present and made sure our special day was perfect in every way. We are so grateful for their hard work and highly recommend Allison Events to any couple planning their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Your experience with Mostest will highly depend on your assigned planner. Fortunately Mostest allows you to request a switch if it’s not a fit. I was originally paired with a coordinator who was not as proactive/did not project confidence and ability to guide. Mostest was super accommodating with getting me reassigned, replacing my original planner with Lanise within a day of me contacting them. Everything was smooth sailing from there on out! If you’re in Houston I highly recommend Lanise as a month-of coordinator! She consistently went above and beyond leading up to and on the day of my wedding. She is professional, organized, confident, and creative. I am a very Type A person, so it was important to me to have someone I could really trust with the details. Lanise sent detailed recaps with action items after each of our weekly meetings, was available over text when I had questions, smoothly handled vendor communications and even some family coordination for speeches, conducted venue visits, and did an AMAZING job decorating and keeping things moving on the day of. I came in with a pretty detailed vision and provided mockups of my table settings and special decor, but Lanise truly understood the assignment and executed it with such care and precision. I was blown away when I walked into the venue. She did not miss a detail! She was also just a fun and reliable presence throughout the night and even took what ended up being some of our favorite photos for us on her phone. Highly recommend!!!

Dana, Tara, and the entire Thyme and Details team are nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, their exceptional management skills, attentive listening, and dedication turned what we thought was impossible into a seamless, unforgettable reality for our September wedding. Their full-service planning is worth every penny—and more.

They didn’t just meet our expectations; they exceeded them with thoughtful touches and moments of surprise and delight throughout the year-long process. One of the standout aspects was their vendor recommendations. They guided us toward partners who perfectly matched the theme and energy we envisioned for our day, elevating the entire experience. When a major hurdle arose with the delivery timing of some rentals, Dana went above and beyond, advocating fiercely to ensure everything worked out perfectly. Her determination and professionalism made all the difference in what could have been a stressful situation. Thanks to their experience, tools, patience, and boundless endurance, planning became not only manageable but enjoyable. They gifted us a day filled with joy, celebration, and memories we’ll treasure forever. If we could relive the process, we would—and we would choose Thyme and Details every single time.

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

Hiring Kahlida was one of the best things we did for our wedding and our sanity. My husband and I decided to have a small wedding with immediate family, and we did all of the planning ourselves. We initially thought that we could handle the logistics of that day, but even just booking the vendors started to become overwhelming. We were also planing the wedding from out of town, which sometimes made the planning more complicated. From the moment we had our initial meeting with Kahlida, I knew that she was the coordinator for us. My husband and I are pretty laid back, so we appreciated that she was able to match our energy. She was extremely kind and organized. Working with her kept our planning on track. I also really appreciated that she took the lead on reaching out to our vendors and coordinating with them in the few weeks leading up to our wedding, which is something I know we would have been too overwhelmed to do that close to our wedding. On the actual day, everything ran smoothly. We had limited decor for our ceremony and dinner, but I was impressed by how well she was able to execute my design vision. It was the perfect day, and I know it’s because of all of Kahlida’s hard work.

Working with Clare & Co Events was an absolute dream for our wedding day!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Brandon Thorn and Adam at Crimson Quarter Weddings went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless! One of the things that I loved right away about Brandon when I first spoke with him was his authenticity, friendliness and sense of humor. I knew immediately that he was a genuine person who really cared about getting to know me and my fiancé. As a result, we became friends pretty quickly and got to know a lot about each other beyond wedding planning-related tasks. I so appreciated this because it meant that I felt like I had an ally to help me navigate the wedding planning process. Brandon will truly support you and go to bat for you if there is a communication issue or conflict of interest with another vendor or venue. I learned as a bride that it is really important to have someone like Brandon who is there 100% looking out for your best interests. I also appreciated that while I hired Brandon as my Day-of-Coordinator, he did way more than just day-of coordinating duties, including attending meetings with my venue several months in advance. He also always answered my texts and emails quickly and communicated with me frequently. This made me feel secure knowing that Brandon really cared about me! On the day of the event, we had to move our ceremony inside due to rain, and Brandon and Adam worked hard to still ensure that the décor and other elements for the ceremony were still set up to look beautiful inside. They also worked with the venue to make some changes to the furniture layout in order to still ensure that the space was set up to make us and our guests have the best experience possible. They also did an outstanding job taking down the décor and cleaning up so that my new husband and I could enjoy our second line and afterparty without having to worry about going back to the venue to clean up. When we returned to our hotel room much later that night, all of our items, including personal items that we had left in the venue space, were all returned to us and neatly stored in our room. We really felt taken care of the entire time. On top of all of this, I really felt like the fee we paid Brandon was an excellent value for the service that we received. I compared Brandon's pricing to other Day-of Coordinators in the New Orleans area, and I can say with certainty that his prices are better that most of the competition, especially for the level of service that you will receive! I would 100% recommend Crimson Quarter Weddings to any bride, groom or individual wishing to host a party/event in the New Orleans or broader Louisiana and Mississippi area!

Brooke once told me during one of our many consultations, that the name of her business was “practically perfect” because nothing is ever 100% perfect, but her goal is to get it as close as possible. I didn’t realize how right she would be. First off the vendors she chose- the catering, the dj, the hair and makeup artist, the bartender, the florist… every single one of these vendors came through in a big way for me! They all knocked it out of the park, and that’s mostly because of Brooke! She knew what she was doing when she chose them, and she handled pretty much all of the communication. I just had to give approval and tell them exactly what I wanted, and Brooke made sure that happened. You just have to trust that you chose her for a reason and that she is going to make the right decisions. Every single thing about my day exceeded my expectations. Now let’s talk about her professionalism. I had someone at my wedding be… not so nice to her. Not Brooke’s fault. She handled it with grace and professionalism both during and after the situation, and made sure it caused as little of a hiccup as possible during my day. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me that Brooke was there for me every single step of the way taking care of things. I’m sure there’s things she tackled that I don’t even know about, and for that I am grateful also. Brooke, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me. You never once seemed stressed or overwhelmed which put me at ease during this process. I am so grateful for you, my wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you!

There is a particular kind of evening in New Orleans — when the light goes amber and low, when the iron balconies cast their familiar shadows, and the city feels less like a place and more like a feeling you've been chasing your whole life.

Our commissions begin at $50,000 — we share this because transparency matters from the very first conversation.

Michelle truly went above and beyond just the day-of coordinating. She coordinated a couple intros zooms, got in touch with our venue and all of our vendors beforehand and brought us solutions when we realized we were going to be rained on. The day of she was a straight shooter - direct and ran a tight ship. But she was also warm, friendly and upbeat. Her assistant even took care of my dog for me and made sure he was fed and walked!

They worked tirelessly as little fairies, flying around and ensuring that every last detail was perfect. Sue and the day-of coordinators eased all of our worries, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We are so grateful to the New Orleans Weddings & Events team for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true.

I went with Prestige Planning for my wedding planner because of the ease of use. I met with my certified wedding planner before I booked and she was amazing and explained the whole process. I knew I could plan my own wedding but I’m not a pro at all so I knew I would need a lot of help. I didn’t want to spend the money on a full wedding planner so going this route was absolutely perfect. They were with me every step of the way. I especially liked the SOS calls they give because I needed them to assist with a vendor I was having an issue with. I knew I was going to need help with logistics and stuff on the actual day of my wedding because I wouldn’t have time to do so, so I added the coordination add on to my package. So I got my wedding planned with major help from an actual certified planner and coordination for my wedding day for less than others are charging for just coordination. Just go for it. You will not be disappointed at all! They really went above and beyond and did more for me than what they had outlined they would do. I got more than my money worth.

At Destination 2 I Do, we plan destination weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean with no planning fee to you as we are paid directly by our trusted resort partners.

Destination 2 I Do made our destination wedding experience better than we could have imagined. From start to finish, the process felt smooth, supportive, and well organized. Planning a wedding away from home can feel intimidating, but we always felt guided and taken care of. Our wedding day was perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way. We loved everything and received such high quality service. Best part was the customer service we received and the planning service was free. We already recommend their services to everyone we know who is planning a destination wedding.

Pennywell Events started in the name of passion; passion for a good party, for an elegant and personal experience, but mostly passion for creating a spectacular event. Hi! I'm Alicia, the owner/lead planner/"it" girl of Pennywell Events. I absolutely love to plan weddings, no really, it's what I have dreams about most nights. I worked in the NYC fashion industry for about 5yrs, and while it wasn't what I was hoping for, it did give this New Orleans native the opportunity to move back to Louisiana. It also gave me the chance to expand my knowledge and eventually find out that I really wanted to plan weddings!

I can’t say enough good things about Pennywell Events. From our first call, she understood my “crash my elopement” vision and was all in. We traveled from Michigan to New Orleans wanting something between an elopement and a full wedding, no easy task, especially without a firm guest count. She handled everything flawlessly, planning for 20–30 guests (we had 23), securing a stunning dinner venue, and creating an elevated, intimate experience. The second line she arranged was unforgettable and still talked about by our guests, and the photographer she connected us with was perfect, giving us the best photos around the city. As an out of state bride, I felt completely taken care of. She brought our vision to life better than I imagined and at a price point that exceeded expectations. Truly an amazing experience.

Mindi Phillips was my Destination Wedding Planner. She's very responsive, knowledgeable, and has great relationships with resorts. Any time I had a question or concern, she was very thorough in her answers to make me feel more at ease. From the beginning of choosing a resort, to going over the contract to communicating with me through the day of my wedding (and after), Mindi was fantastic. I love working with Beloved Getaways! I would recommend this company to any bride wishing for a smooth wedding process!

My husband and I booked Lindsey hoping to make our lives easier when it came time for the wedding. Best decision ever. She was on top of everything and fixed any problem we could’ve had without us even knowing until days later. Couldn’t have imagined our day without her!!
