Iris and Oak Events

Iris and Oak was the best wedding investment we made, hands down. I was very confident in planning our wedding - I like spreadsheets, know how to budget, had a very clear vision, and knew which vendors to use. But when I hit a communication snag with our venue, I really started to panic. We were just talking past each other, and we weren’t getting the level of communication that seemed appropriate (or really any communication at all). That’s when we hired Caroline. From the first phone call when I interviewed Caroline, I knew she was my type of gal. Several wedding planners and coordinators wanted to talk about my fiance, the engagement, and just generally leaned into the whole “over the top bridal energy.” I was at a point in planning where I didn’t need to relive my engagement and tell every vendor I interviewed about it. And I felt like Caroline just got that from the very beginning. She wanted to hear my pain points and my vision (plus the fun bride stuff) and see how she could help. I loved that she clearly had on her game face even before we hired her. Caroline took the time to have phone calls with us, chat over email, and answer all of our questions. She served as an excellent gut check and wealth of information, but most importantly, she really knew how to manage the issue with our venue and ensure us that everything would be ok. She went above and beyond - even taking a few meetings with my mom which helped calm her down ;) Both our moms ended up loving Caroline! I’m an organized person, but having Caroline on our team really gave me the ability to relax. I was able to send her documents, contracts, and cc her on emails and just know she was getting the info. Caroline and her team were so responsive and really understood our needs and vision. She knew when to take charge and politely step in, which was very needed in moments, too (like when our vendor said they had no knives, or when parents needed to stop talking and just sit back). It felt like I had a best friend with me on my wedding day making sure everything went perfectly. In the end - I truly didn’t worry about anything and the whole day was executed flawlessly. I couldn’t have been happier, more in love, and more focused on my wedding - which really is a testament to Caroline and the Iris and Oak team, and how much they care about your special moments. Hire Caroline and I promise you’ll have a day you’ll never forget.

Can’t say enough about Caroline and her team! Not only are they wonderful people but they all absolutely made our wedding day an absolute dream! I couldn’t tell you if anything went wrong because she and her team made everything happen so smoothly and even thought of how to get creative when I couldn’t. We signed up for the Branches Packages and it was perfect for what we needed. Through the planning process, Caroline met with us answered all of the questions we had and helped create a great timeline for the lead up but also the day of. She made sure that we were staying on track with making decisions and booking different vendors. She also made wonderful recommendations for different vendors based on our budget and what type of vibe we were looking for. On the day of, Caroline and her team worked seamlessly with our vendors, helping me and the wedding parties get ready (as well as stay on track), even when I had issues with my dress being bustled, her team kept making sure to help me and keep me looking and feeling like a beautiful bride! At the end of the night, they even made sure that our flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms were packed back up and shipped them out. They gathered all the extra favors, the special items like or flutes, remembrance photos, cards and made sure that we had everything accounted for. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is fun and easy to work with, go with Caroline. The different packages are great so that she can give you what you need. Highly recommend :)

Caroline and her Iris and Oak team are incredible! If you are planning a wedding in New Orleans They should be your first call. They made planning my destination wedding there easy, fun and stress free! I cannot recommend them enough and honestly wish I was getting married again just so we can work together again.

Working with Iris and Oak Events for my wedding was a fantastic experience. Caroline and her assistant Caroline, took care of everything on the day of and made it so stress free! It was so much easier to relax and have fun on my wedding day trusting them to make it all happen!
