Pre Wedding: We met Christie in New Orleans at Hi Volt Cafe to "interview" for month of wedding…read moreplanning. We met mid July 2017 and our wedding was scheduled for June 9, 2018. She was recommended by a friend. Christie showed up on time and was very professional and friendly. She gave a lot of recommendations for florists, caterers, bands, etc...I was definitely being the serious questions asker while my fiancée was being friendly and chatty. Post Wedding: We we're so well taken care of and didn't want for anything- they were one step ahead of us the whole night, whatever we wanted they had already thought about it. I highly recommend you book her for your wedding. She will be a friend for life and will help you make your dream wedding come true. Below are specific topics I asked her about when we first interviewed her nine months from the wedding, then how I felt about it post Wedding. |Knowledge| She was very knowledgeable about wedding planning. So many thing we didn't even consider she talked about. Things from caterers providing servers and wait staff to pick up food, to the band/DJ doing acoustic checks while we're out doing the second line, and even having a point of contact for receiving all the items (guest book, excess alcohol/food, pictures etc..) after the weddings over. Post Wedding Knowledge: I feel a bit silly writing this now, she worked extremely well with the caterers, florist, venue owner, etc...they all gave her high praises |Professionalism| She was laid back and professional at the time time. A comfort to talk to, and work with. Post Wedding Professionalism: Top Notch! Christie was very professional. She was helpful not only to our needs, but to our guest needs as well. She always had a smile on her face :-) |Services| She talked about backup plans for any weather issues. Even though we only want a month before package, she said we can email her at anytime and ask her questions or advice. Post Wedding: Christie and her assistant Amanda were full of tips and tricks throughout the planning and the wedding pre and post ceremony. They got us tucked away in our private room after the second line with appetizers and entrees waiting for us. They knew we wouldn't be able to have quiet time together (or time to eat) during the reception. Lol they were right, thanks y'all! |Challenges| I asked about her challenges she's faced, and she told us about a time she had a second line issue. The police officers didn't want to take a canal bc they didn't want to go against traffic, and bourbon st was closed on their new route. She spoke to the police officer, he allowed them to go down canal street. Amazing story- ask her about it Post Wedding: No challenges, hot June weather with no rain. ^_^

There are no words to fully express our gratitude to Christie and Hailey for ensuring that our big…read moreday was everything we hoped for and more. Having no idea what to expect or how to prepare for a wedding, we were so worried that things wouldn't go according to plan, especially my mom. Hiring the pros at Mise En Place was the best thing we could have ever done. There are so many little details involved in a wedding that you would never even think of. They are organized and have the most helpful worksheets to help you get things in order. Christie and Hailey have weddings down to a science and are cool under pressure... especially when a pandemic is taking over the world. We had our wedding on March 14th which was right before COVID-19 really blew up. Days before the wedding, we had quite a few guests cancel, and I was freaking out. I immediately called Christie and she put my mind and anxiety at ease. She contacted all the vendors to ensure that they were still "on" for our big day. Most importantly, Christie and Hailey are two of the kindest people that we have ever met. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and they build lasting relationships with their clients. I see frequent Instagram posts from Mise En Place wishing their clients a "happy anniversary," or "congratulations." Mis En Place isn't for 8 hours or a month, but for a lifetime. Weddings can be so stressful but it is so important to enjoy the process, and more importantly, your big day. Mis En Place will allow you cherish the moment with your significant other on your special day which is what it is all about.

From the start, you can tell how dedicated she is to her craft and the entire process. You feel like you have a true fighter in your corner when it comes to Elise Bennett. When our engagement photo shoot location got rained out she scrambled to find an alternative location and the photos turned out beautifully. She'll climb, squat, head-stand just to get the perfect shot! It's amazing watching her work, but more impressively, most of the time you don't even notice her buzzing around snapping shot after shot, because she creates such a relaxed, organic atmosphere for her clients. Elise Bennett takes the time to get to know her clients on a personal level, which was very important to me. She understands that life can get crazy and is willing to work with you no matter what the circumstances are. Her organizational skills are a sight to behold, especially during a time when most brides have so many other issues to consider. Elise will keep you on track and you won't have to worry about timing for your photographs, since she will certainly have it all planned out well in advance. Prior to your wedding, Elise will take time out of her day to drive around and scout your locations with you. Her shot recommendations are always impeccable, as Elise and her team are not afraid to push themselves and you. If you have a vision, she will make it happen, period! Elise and her team have a true eye for the art of photography, as well as a driven desire to provide the most superior client-photographer relationship. They garner an unparalleled understanding of their clients' wants, desires and dreams for their special day, and this clearly shines though in the finished products.

We ordered two tents with flooring, 20 chairs, 5 tables and linens from The TentMan. From the start, the interactions were great. My wife dealt with Alysia in the office, who helped us figure out the best sizes and arrangements of the tents (the planner on their website was also useful for this). We were concerned about bad weather, and Alysia told us they'd monitor in the week leading up to the wedding and decide the best day to set up and whether we should add sides to the tent, instead of having them as open canopies. Well, it's New Orleans! It poured and poured and howled a gale. There was a brief letup two days before our wedding, so they set the tents up then, with sides added (windows in some, which was great). Paul aka The TentMan, and his crew were efficient, affable and great to deal with. Come our wedding, the rain stopped 30 minutes before it started! The backyard was awash, but the floor stayed mostly dry and the tent was a delight to be in. Sturdy and well sealed. Paul's crew returned Monday to take things down. We're so happy we used The TentMan. They checked all the boxes: helpful, communicative, on time, efficient, and great value. If we ever marry again, we'll be calling on them again. Nah! :-) But if we have another big outdoor do, we'll know where to go.
