He's up on all the latest Desi and Bhangra music and keeps up with it. Adam was patient, flexible and easy to work with and made transitions between events during the night so seamless. One of the best things you can do for your big event is to hire a DJ who you can trust and not have to second guess and Adam was certainly that. Thanks again!

The setup was seamlessly integrated into our venue, our guests absolutely loved it. The attendants were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable, beautiful, and had a blast. The photo quality was outstanding. Because two nationally recognized photographers run the company, their operation is much more advanced than any photobooth I've ever used. You are able to retake photos, see what you look like while you're taking the photo, customize the background and the logo on the strip, print pics in a strip or as singles, and best of all, they give you digital access to all photos in strip and individual form following. Our personalized photo strips were beautifully designed the event. Guests raved about the variety of props and backgrounds available, making every photo unique and entertaining. Working with Nola Photo Lounge was a breeze-- Kathy and Doug were responsive to our questions and flexible with our event timeline, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. We truly appreciated their attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day extra special. If you're looking for a photo booth experience that exceeds expectations, I highly recommend NOLA Photo Lounge. They brought joy to our celebration and provided a fantastic way for our guests to interact and create lasting memories. Thank you to the entire team for contributing to our perfect day!

What a fantastic place for a wedding! Incredible venue, unbelievable food, and attentive staff…read more Emili and Logan were both especially friendly and deserve their kudos. I do think the DJ could use a bit of work. His delivery was a lot more "radio DJ introducing a comedian at a charity event" than it was "fun night of love and togetherness." There were earplugs. There needn't be earplugs at a wedding. Either way, five whole stars easy. The food and the rest of the staff were exemplary.

I did a quick google search of the best venues in New Orleans for Weddings. Southern Oaks was one of the venues that popped up. I planned a weekend trip for January to visit, it was the first stop on my list and I immediately fell in love. Shoutout to Maxwell who took care of me during my site visit and Mr. Bobby the owner who also made sure I had everything I needed to make the most informed decision. If you are still trying to decide to go with Southern Oaks or another venue, book Southern Oaks. I promise you won't be disappointed. 2 months later and my guest are still raving about our wedding being so Amazing. We owe it all to the Southern Oaks staff, all we did was show up and let them work their magic. Some highlights from our big day were the old fashion Rolls Royce that we arrived in, the attention provided to us, our wedding party and parents ( our parents are still talking about how well they looked after me during the reception), the DJ was awesome, the food was delicious and endless and our fireworks exit at the end of the night. From the very first visit to our last encounter with staff everything was Top Notch. 10's across the board. Thank You Mr. Bobby I really appreciate all that you did for us. It was money worth spent

Most couples who gets married usually are skeptical about hiring a wedding planner because they want their wedding done their way. We were no different but after talking to Sapphire Events, we were confident that they were that good, to know how to help manage and execute but leaving plenty of elbow room for creativity! There were also many times that our wedding planner respectfully adviced us against some bad ideas and for that I thank her for it! Then there are also the times that we have stretched her to run with our ideas, like getting us a piano right smack in Audubon park. I was told by the pianist that she came up to him during an outdoor concert and asked him if he could make it happen for a wedding she was planning. Such a small world, the pianist turns out to be a friend of mine and we got our piano in the park (Thanks, Chase!) On the day of the wedding, everything happened like clockwork. I didn't have to manage anything because our wedding planner had it all lined up. There were some major coordination that needed to happened since it was an outdoor wedding in a public park, with a secondline band, that led us to the streetcar... needless to say, we wouldn't have enjoyed all the details as much as we did if it wasn't for Sapphire Events! EVERYBODY that attended the wedding enjoyed themselves and could not stop talking about how well it flowed. And everytime we reply, "it's because we had a wedding planner, so totally worth it!"

I started looking for planners a few weeks ago, Sapphire was the first I looked into. Valerie was more than willing to meet with me via Skype, since we're planning this wedding from the West Coast. She was honest, sweet, and very accommodating to all of our ideas and vision. She said outright that our budget had no room for her rates and she wasn't going to waste our time, but that she would be more than happy to refer us to others who would be a better fit for us financially. When I still wasn't sure, I asked her for another, and she very quickly responded with another recommendation. I'm now confident that this event is going to be amazing, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Valerie.

After…read moredoing a little research on the internet, we went out on a limb and took our wedding coordinator's advice and hired Taboo as our band. Mike was extremely professional throughout the whole process, sending us some live songs before we made our decision and answering emails promptly throughout the months leading up to the wedding. As for the performance, all I can say is that we were just shocked all night as to how truly AMAZING this band is. So many of our guests came up to us at the wedding or shortly after and told us how much they enjoyed the music. I think everyone had a ridiculously good time and the band certainly played a large part in the success of the evening. As for the band, one of the reasons they are so great is the extremely wide range of songs that they not only play, but play extremely well. From Classic Rock, to 80s &90s, to Pop and DANCE/R&B / HIP HOP, Top 40, Ballads and even a little country; they nailed it all. I really can't express how awesome they were and the 5 star recommendation doesn't do them justice. I can't recommend TABOO enough to anyone having a wedding or any other event in the New Orleans area. (Here is Taboo's email if you are interested taylormaidmusiq@yahoo.com)
