I hired Monique Hodges at Couture Events for month of coordination for my wedding. Monique meet with me and my fiancé during one of our short trips to New Orleans. She greeted us w...ith a welcome basket full of New Orleans specific goodies. It was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. So was Monique. She was very friendly, very helpful and super organized. Her prices were so much more reasonable than comparable wedding coordinators / planners. I had already done the bulk of the planning, but I needed someone in New Orleans to coordinate vendors and to help receive shipments for the setup of the wedding - such as centerpieces. Monique put together schedules for both the wedding party and the vendors. She contacted everyone and made sure that they knew when to be where. She was there for the rehearsal and throughout the wedding day. I didn't worry at all on the wedding day, knowing Monique would handle everything. In fact, right before the ceremony, I realized I forgot to give Monique the ring bearer pillows, and that I left them at the hotel - she ran back to get them and came back in time for the ring bearers to use them. During the reception, if my husband or I needed anything, Monique was right there to help us. She was absolutely amazing.
