We can honestly say that, without Brittani Adams-Perret and her outstanding team at Unique…read moreWeddings, our destination wedding in New Orleans would not have been close to as beautiful, fun, organized, special or distinct as it was. In short, this team makes MAGIC, people! Brittani is the ultimate professional, providing guidance and advice from her deep level of experience in the industry and her lifelong familiarity with the local area. She brings calm and compassion to what could otherwise have been difficult to navigate situations (weather scares, last minute guest changes, family dynamics), essential for an out-of-town and sometimes anxious bride. She is supremely organized, timely and responsive, taking advantage of technology and her own flexibility to ensure communication is as convenient as possible. She is also an outstanding creative, designing layout, logistics and decor solutions to fit and exceed whatever initial vision you might have had. Most importantly, we felt cared for, listened to and prioritized as a couple, from our first conversation with Brittani through the end of our wedding night, despite the thousands of details she and her team were handling in the background simultaneously. Our non-traditional wedding in the French Quarter was filled with love, live music, food, parading, dancing and laughter with a decidedly New Orleans spirit and flair and our diverse group of guests from all over the world and all walks of life continue to ask when we'll get married again! So much of that is due to Brittani, the Unique Weddings team and Brittani's design arm, New Orleans Candlelight & Decor, who are all pros at making events like our wedding truly unforgettable.

Michelle was able to quickly know our taste and priorities. She had wonderful recommendations to make the day complete. We very much enjoyed our days spent with her in planning our wedding and she, Brittani, and Yasmin were excellent the day of. Our wedding was as gorgeous as we could have hoped for. These ladies took excellent care of us on the day of the wedding. They kept us on schedule all while providing a calming energy. During the reception they were at the same time in the background yet, making sure we all were having a great time and my husband and I always had what we needed. I cannot say enough about Unique Weddings in New Orleans. They really know what they are doing and are an asset to the whole endeavor from planning to the day of.

I don't know if there are superlatives enough to describe how exceptional Latrobe's is and I…read moreunequivocally recommend it to anyone planning an event in New Orleans. The historic space is beautiful and provided excellent flow at my daughter's wedding. The food was exquisite. And I simply can't say enough about Rylan, Millie, Hana and the rest of the staff at Latrobe's. Their professionalism, their attention to detail, their care and patience - all are unmatched. We did not hire a wedding planner and now, knowing just how much work is involved in planning a wedding, I think we simply couldn't have done it without their guidance and tips, which they provided even for events beyond the wedding and their scope of work. The whole event ran so smoothly that I was worry-free and thoroughly able to enjoy the wedding myself. And the rave reviews from the guests (as well as from participating vendors!) prove just how exceptional Latrobe's is.

So much so that we did not feel the need to hire a wedding planner. The venue's highly-skilled and experienced team are able to provide helpful insights every step of the way and are always willing to answer questions. Their vendor list is very helpful, everyone they recommended did an incredible job. The building itself is nothing short of magical. Giving our guests a real taste of New Orleans was incredibly important. If our guests did nothing else during their trip, we wanted them to feel like they had an experience unique to the city. Latrobe's definitely helped us achieve that. From the beautiful courtyard complete with burning gas lamps, to the grand banking room, to the wonderful food selection of delicious regional delicacies. Many of our guests told us that they felt they had been transported back in time. That it was the best, most unique wedding they had ever attended - and with the best food! Lastly, the team at Latrobe's is incredible - I actually miss talking to them every week! (LOL) Rylan, Hana, and Millie are the best. I am so grateful for their expertise, patience, and kindness during the entire planning process. A big thank you to Rylan especially for her guidance during our tasting and rehearsal! We would also like to thank the day-of event team, including Marté and David, who made us feel so special on our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on the kindness of the Latrobe's staff who made them feel so welcome. In conclusion, there are simply not enough stars to accurately review Latrobe's! If you have been searching for a venue in New Orleans, congratulations, you've found it! Trust me. We will cherish the memories forever.

The venue setting, the service from Jess & her team, the food were all over the top. We had more than 200 guests from 20 different states and when I say everyone had a great experience, I mean GREAT. A high percentage of people were from New York/New Jersey and they never stopped coming up to me to say "we have been to so many weddings at some of the highest-end venues, but this is Best.Wedding.Ever." I have always taught my twin boys that one secret to a happy life is to temper your expectations in order to minimize your disappointments. However, after our tasting visit last August my expectations for this wedding were incredibly high. I told everyone it was going to be both special and magical. Truth is I wasn't even close - the experience blew me away. I told Jess that Elms Mansion had created a memory that will last for so many of our lifetimes. If you are considering a New Orleans wedding, do not look any further than Elms Mansion. I assure you that Jess and your team will make all your dreams come true. Jon

I thought they wouldn't have the time for us, but Carolyn returned my call quickly and spent a lot of time walking me through my wedding plan, helping me address potential issues before she even quoted me a price. Alison was a great and thorough asset and really made the day go smoothly. I do not recommend waiting until the last minute like I did, but they were a great help and I 100% recommend them.

It would not have been possible without Carolyn and her team. They took my vision and created this beautiful French Quarter wedding that we have been dreaming about. Carolyn created the perfect balance of fun and classy, even in the middle of a very hectic Mardi Gras! We truly appreciate the care and expertise that was put forth into our wedding and we will not forget it. Thank you for pulling off our magical day!

Jorge is also well rounded with all types of music and different events for certain environments. As I looked around in my crowd I didn't not see one foot that wasn't tapping to the beat.

Then there's Sapphire Events. These women are so professional in the way they consulted us in the beginning, all the way to executing the day of! 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 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.
