I am not even sure where to begin. The entire team at DBC are true miracle workers.
In the days leading up to the wedding, when I was in a full panic, I had convinced myself that... something would go wrong and I would just have to deal with it. To my amazement, everything went EXACTLY as I hoped and planned. From the second line timing to the cake display to the dance floor props and everything in between. My husband and I (not to mention all our guests) were beyond impressed. Seriously — I had multiple people (including some wedding veterans) give us countless unnecessary/unprompted compliments. Some include: most beautiful venue they’ve ever seen, best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and most fun wedding they’ve ever attended. I credit that all to DBC (and our other wonderful vendors of course, but DBC ran the show)!
Michelle (our DBC Sales Manager) was especially awesome. She worked with us from the moment we booked the venue to the night of the wedding, doing everything she could to make things as easy as possible for us. She even ran our rehearsal, which is very rare for a venue coordinator! I did not have a planner, so that was huge. I am too embarrassed to tally up the number of emails I sent Michelle and the random assortment of requests that went along with them, but it was A LOT. Her patience, kindness, and professionalism made the wedding planning process so much better :)
And I HAVE to give a special shoutout to Veronica a.k.a. bridal attendant a.k.a fairy godmother. She made sure I had dinner, a drink in my hand at all times, and everything else I needed to enjoy the evening. She also kept us running on schedule which was no easy feat. My husband and I were in awe of her organization, diligence, and extra sweet personality! I am 100% sure my wedding would not have been the same without her.
Anyway, if you want to make your life a little easier, I cannot recommend Audubon/DBC enough. Also, obviously the Tearoom is a classic, but I have to give a special shoutout to the Clubhouse! A true hidden gem among New Orleans wedding venues. Perfect size, location, and beautiful setting (plus it just got a beautiful makeover so it's sparkly new)!
