Hi! I've been a wedding DJ for over 20 years. I've worked for a couple of DJ companies and I was a resident DJ at a local venue for a few years. After working countless weddings and seeing all those smiles and happy tears throughout these years, I decided to open my own DJ company.

SRG Entertainment was fantastic! From music selection and variety, to lights, 360 Video camera, on the cloud dancing, Ceremony master, announcement right on time! They worked hard with so many hours of preplanning to the last minute arrangements and changes. I will definitely recommend them to my precious family and my dear friends. With SRG Entertainment I had no need to hire a wedding planner, they took care of my wife and me from the very beginning, helping us with ideas, suggestions and important information we didn't know about a wedding. SRG Entertainment made our special day, a Hassel free, worry free, stress free DAY! I would give them a 10 STAR (golden) if I could.

Five years ago, I was planning my own wedding and wanting a photographer I was compatible with and who could capture me and my husband without feeling terribly awkward. I found that! When the night was over, I told Albert, "I'm so glad we're married." I could sigh knowing those moments I would soon forget would be captured and documented. At AlesiaKim and Co, that's our values. We are a wedding planning, photography, and videographer team that are intentional about orchestrating and capturing real authentic emotions and smiles so those memories can be preserved for future generations.

I'm so happy I went with Crimson. Brandon and Adam were my absolute ride or dies. I hired them for day of coordination. I'm very Type A, so I had everything planned out, but they were lovely to regularly check in with and spit ideas off of and helped to refine my vision. I did all my planning out of state and sight unseen, so I was definitely nervous to arrive and see all my vendors and decor when I arrived, but Adam and Brandon really picked up the ball and ran with it once I arrived to NOLA. They were so helpful the day before to help run last minute errands and we luckily got into the venue early to set everything up. My friend was officiating, so they helped with the timing of the ceremony and everything. The day of they did an AMAZING job in finishing all the decorating and helping to flip the space from ceremony to reception. Even before the wedding, they picked us all up breakfast and coffee which was so sweet. I was honestly so at ease the day of the wedding because they anticipated every need. After everything, I can definitely say these guys are friends and I'm so happy we went with them because they really went above and beyond to help execute the most wonderful and stress free day.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

With a love for baking and a passion for art, I began my journey in the cake world. It’s a match made in heaven and I am one happy baker! As a small batch bakery, I can offer many many different flavors from cake, filling & frostings. Simple to fully sculpted and detailed. Small gatherings to large gatherings, the sky’s the limit.

Happy Cakes made my wedding cake in 2018. That wedding cake turned into many birthday cakes, graduation cakes and whatever the occasion calls for cakes. Ms. Amanda's cakes are always fresh and delicious. They are way more flavorful than any other I have sampled. The fact that she books so quickly and has a ton of repeat customers is a testament to her talent. I highly recommend you give her a try. Pictured is my husband's, the hunter, bday cake, my shark themed birthday cake that incurred a slight mishap before we took a picture but the details are remarkable... also our wedding cake that had details all around it of the things both of us love!

Her rates are very reasonable, which allowed me to get everything I wanted. The florals were absolutely beautiful, she was early at the venue for setup, and she was an absolute joy to work with. She has the warmest personality and is a consummate professional – she reached out to the venue directly as needed in order to make sure that the décor would fit properly. We got so many compliments on the florals at our wedding, and it fit our fall/terracotta theme perfectly. Just go ahead and book her if you’re considering it!

Hi, I’m Shelby, a wedding & elopement photographer with a love for travel and a sparkly, lively personality. I’ve had the privilege of working with couples across various destinations, bringing my energy and passion to every celebration. Raised in New Orleans, and now based out of Alabama, I service multiple southern regions. I believe in creating a genuine connection with my couples, making them feel relaxed, heard, and truly seen on their big day. Weddings & Elopements can be chaotic, but I’m here to guide you through every moment—from the first look to the final dance—capturing all the love, joy, and raw emotion in between.

***LONG REVIEW! Not Sorry! The photos I have of our day are far better than I could have imagined and Shelby was the best to work with. It is not just the amount or the quality of the photos you get with Shelby, but her customer service is above and beyond. She met with me in person 3 times to help settle my nerves and I couldn't have been more grateful. Shelby was so understanding and no vision I had was too outlandish or too much trouble. She communicated in a transparent, deliberate way, but was never pushy or disrespectful. I interviewed multiple photographers and truly, we just meshed well together. Shelby is unique and her sparkle really shines during the chaos, handling it like a BOSS! We had a military wedding and let me tell you, she handled it. I learned that she also only takes 3-4 weddings a month to really prioritize her clients and let me tell you, it shows so much! She got us sneak peaks within a week and the full gallery was delivered in 4 weeks. Look, I could have easily been classified as an "intense" bride and Shelby reassured me all day and reminded me that I was allowed to enjoy my day. Truly, I didn't just hire a photographer that day, I hired a trusted friend and we have already planned our 5 year anniversary photos in Italy with her. I know this review is a lot, but if you are looking for a photographer (that essentially has the 2nd MOST IMPORTANT role on your wedding day), that will give you more than a camera click and congratulations email, then SHELBY IS YOUR GIRL!!! Just talk to her! She shoots you straight and can help so much! Also, last thing, she respected our privacy. Our gallery was delivered via USB because we can't have personal photos of my husband on the internet. You will also not see them anywhere on her socials or website and they were not shared with other vendors, per our request. Yes, military family here. We trust her and you can too.

She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning.

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!
