Our son's wedding was this past weekend at Elm's Mansion. To say it was sensational would be…read moreunderselling it. 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

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.

When a full size band is in the main room, that room becomes excessively loud. Many people choose tommove to the Tree Room ( there are trees in the room). That room is a respite from the noise, but regretfully, it doesn't have many tables for guests to enjoy the food and libation. Rosie's has a nice outdoor patio where there are pub tables, a small stage that had Karaoke the evening we were there. The patio utilized large fans to fight the oppressive heat. Service was excellent. Bars were serving well made drinks. Ambiance is clean and pleasant. Rosie's is a good reception place.

I definitely attended a wedding here earlier this month. And it was really fun. I liked that there were different spaces to move through from the main room/bar to the atrium to the outdoor courtyard (a little chilly in November but lovely). The food was really good (made in house) and the staff was friendly and helpful. The wedding was held in the courtyard and the party was throughout the space. The bride and groom said they were great to work with and everything was smooth sailing. As an attendee, it was a lovely space to enjoy.

Pick Carol, she is wonderful!…read more I did extensive research when trying to find a wedding planner. I was a destination bride living in Texas, with a father in Baton Rouge fighting cancer, trying to plan my wedding in New Orleans. I had quite a few hurdles. I found Carol through word of mouth. Carol is a native of New Orleans with 15 years in event planning, including large corporate events and with the past 8 years in weddings. She has a large network and strong connections with local vendors. She is creative and determined. She is professional and caring. I had already found my venue when I contacted Carol, who then helped me find my band, florist, cake baker, makeup artist, hair stylist and ceremony music players, etc. She helped plan the rehearsal dinner, bridal luncheon and the day of the wedding. Carol did all the things that I was unable to do for myself. She provided me with options and quotes, helped me to determine the most reasonable budget without sacrificing quality. I would make visits to NOLA during the wedding planning; Carol would arrange all my appointments and take me to meet with vendors. She help me pick out colors for my bridesmaid dresses, colors and types of flowers, venue decor, venue favors, invitations, gift ideas, etc. 5 days before my wedding, Hurricane Isaac hit New Orleans. Can you imagine the stress? Carol kept my sanity intact. Carol was without electricity for several days, and was still working behind the scenes to followup with my vendors...(i.e. had they had evacuated, were they safe, would they have power to cook our food, would my flowers be delivered and would the flowers survive without refrigeration?) I had to most amazing wedding. Everything came together beautifully. There were many NOLA brides that weekend without flowers, no makeup artists, no catering, etc. I was very blessed to have everything, to have my dream wedding. I am sincerely grateful to Carol; I could not have done it without her.

I knew I could handle a lot of wedding planning on my own. However, there was no escaping the fact…read morethat we at least needed someone to hep with day of services for our destination wedding. Carol happens to be a friend of my stepmother and seemed like a logical choice. It helped that her reviews were fantastic! My fiance thought that her fees were a little high, but within about five minutes of sitting down with her for our initial consultation, I could tell he was fully on board. Carol is extremely likable, knows New Orleans very well and has a wonderful eye. She seemed to understand what I wanted from the beginning, and knew how to accomplish it. We ended up opting for the package that included 5 hours of advance planning, which was helpful, and Carol also had great recommendations for florists and cake. She ended up letting my borrow a few votives and a sign to use as part of my decorations, which was really helpful! I honestly don't know how I would have managed without her, especially at the wedding itself. She seamlessly coordinated everything and I was able to kick back and truly enjoy the reception. I highly recommend her.

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.

His personality and character is addicting and proves that there's still good people out in the world. He's very professional and easy to get in contact with. Responds in great time. 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. I recommend him to anyone and everyone especially since he's in the NOLA now giving the area his Miami touch.
