Mint Julep Productions

municate and had great suggestions. On the day of the wedding, they made everything flow so effortlessly. Thank y’all so much for your hard work!

ed about. Mint Julep helped us plan the wedding during the pandemic when New Orleans was still mostly closed. However, they made multiple contingencies for both relaxed and stricter restrictions from the city. We were lucky enough to have our wedding when the restrictions were relaxed and Kelsey/Riki sprung into action to help with the additional planning and coordination that had to happen to host the event. Every detail was well thought out and the entire ceremony and reception went smoothly. They were such a great group to work with and did so much to make the day one we will remember for the rest of our lives. If you need a wedding coordinator - especially for Race + Religious in New Orleans, you can't find one better than Kelsey and the entire Mint Julep team. I'd use them 100x if we could do it all over again!

was a challenge, but Kelsey and Sarah not only kept us updated on what was going on in New Orleans, but when we finally were given the green light they made our day everything we ever wanted and more. We engaged MJP for the day-of package, and I really appreciated the perfect balance of chill and running a tight ship that Kelsey was on our wedding day. I didn't have to worry about a thing and everything went SO smoothly. Can't thank and recommend this team enough - thank you for making our day so perfect!

nd words about working with Kelsey and Sarah. Kelsey was incredibly patient and an absolute rockstar the last few days leading up to our wedding. I highly recommend this group for any kind of event planning.

ake our day seamless!

f budget, for each vendor you need to book. Both her and the team are very responsive to emails, never making you feel like you’re asking a silly question. The month leading up to our big day, Sarah took over, helping me to relax knowing she had it all handled. The day of was flawless all thanks to the Mint Julep team! Sarah had timing down to the minute, no joke. Our wedding would not have been as incredible as it was without Mint Julep. Do yourself a favor and book this deal team ASAP!

othly as possible. Cannot stress how incredible these women are! Our wedding wouldn't have been as incredible without them behind the scenes making sure everything was perfect. THANK YOU for all that you did for us <3

essed me out. Sarah, Courtney, and Meredith handled all of the countless emails and phone calls trying to make my day perfect! They knew what I wanted and made decisions easier for me, when at times I needed advice or was indecisive. My wedding day was so stress free and fun because they handled all the small details and minute by minute timeline!

our details, making tailored suggestions. Courtney fashioned an excellent plan and timeline and orchestrated it with grace and joy, with day of assistance from lovely Kelsey and Tessa. Although the rain cleared and we were able to go forward with our outdoor ceremony, Courtney kept an eye on the forecast and calmly composed a back-up plan days in advance. We felt relaxed and happy throughout our wedding day. I had complete confidence that everything would go smoothly and it did; my husband was impressed with Courtney's easy-going demeanor and professionalism. Your wedding planner plays a big part in your wedding day; Courtney made our day even more special. We enjoyed every moment of our first look, our ceremony and our reception. Courtney will always have a special place in my heart! Thank you Mint Julep for making our wedding beautiful and unforgettable. Congratulations to the wise and lucky engaged couples who get to create their weddings with you!

o your big day is stress free. They planned the most beautiful and unique day I could have asked for. I trusted Meredith with the full design of the wedding, and she really delivered. It was better than I ever could have asked for. Sarah knows the wedding industry like the back of her hand and is so helpful in the planning process. She is such a gem. Courtney was my day of coordinator and she really helped make sure things went off seamlessly. Together, their team helped us have a beautiful, special, and most importantly STRESS-FREE day. If you are considering hiring a wedding planner- look no further because MINT JULEP IS THE REAL DEAL!

beautiful and stress free wedding without her there to help me! I would 110% recommend her for your upcoming wedding!

and ran everything day of. Everything went amazingly smooth. Highly recommend!

s easy with them as my guide but more importantly it was FUN! They were always a step ahead and ensured the entire planning process and wedding day went seamlessly! Our wedding day was truly a dream and it would not have been possible without Sarah and Madeline. Hands down the best wedding decision I made (other than my husband of course) was choosing Mint Julep Productions!

de the experience so enjoyable. They really got to know "us" therefore had lots of amazing suggestions and recommended the perfect vendors to work with. They are SO knowledgable! They made sure the month and day of everything ran perfectly and smoothly. I could not have asked for anything more on our wedding day. It was exactly what we wanted. THANK YOU LADIES SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!

tions is extremely professional, thoughtful and very easy to work with. So happy my wife found them. Thank you Sarah and Madeline for making our wedding the best experience it could ever be.

they gave and the attention they paid to detail prepared not just myself but my family to get exactly what we wanted out of our event. This included communications with both sides of my divorced family when I was busy with work, making sure I felt comfortable about any pricing, and even bringing me food on the day of so I didn't forget to eat. I do not typically write reviews but I could not pass up the chance to recommend these ladies for anybody and everybody's wedding. They truly designed and executed the best day of our lives :) Love you all! MS

high expectations and never-matching time zones into the mix, and you've got a recipe for miscommunication, but that heartbreak never came. If everyone in this world gave their jobs the love and energy that Sarah does hers, we would be flooded with priceless intuitive service, very clear and solution-based interactions, and absolutely stellar execution. I am floored at the seamlessness of our experience with Mint Julep. Our guests were overflowing with compliments for this team for WEEKS after our wedding, and I'm getting teary-eyed with gratitude again just writing this. Some of my favorite little moments during planning and day-of: - Sent a YouTube clip of the type of acapella singers I wanted for ceremony. Sarah goes and finds the >exact< guys in the video, and books them. - Watching incredulously as Madeline (in platform heels) hauled our luggage up flights of stairs without breaking a sweat or that genuine Southern smile - Every time I shook my head and whispered "mind reader" because they acted on things I was just *thinking* - Sarah somehow convincing our fave NOLA resto to cater a wedding for the first time (she worked them with her charm for about 10 months) - Matt Z., who they had come day-of to help out, was overflowing with good vibes! - Awesome touches like volunteering to donate our fleece blankets to the homeless after the wedding, and lending us little things here and there so we didn't have to buy them - Also collaborating with vendors to break a few rules (*wink*) just to get us the exact vision of what we wanted. I will never look at a chandelier the same way again. :) My husband and I agree that of the many decisions that go into organizing a wedding, choosing Mint Julep was the best one we made. Gift yourself. We signed a check for incredible service, but left with so much more. Full of love and warmth, and looking forward to the next time I can see these beautiful people again. We love you guys! -

questions. The wedding turned out better than we could have imagined thanks to MJP. Thanks to Sarah and her team we were able to enjoy the day of the wedding while they did all of the work. Our guests were blown with the wedding and the coordination done by Mint Julep Productions. We would definitely recommend them to any wedding couple!

tly, providing the perfect environment for a wedding celebration to unfold naturally and beautifully! They were a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry and I will be recommending them to all of my future brides.

r big day.

cess of our day, and knew what we needed. She took all of our visions and worked hard to make them a reality. She and her team were all hands on deck the day of and without them, I don't know how anything would have worked. I felt completely taken care of. She took a huge weight off our wedding party and us. Can't say enough good things about Reese. She's a rockstar and I would highly recommend! Also after doing a ton of research, I found Mint Julep to be one of the best priced out there!

swered what seemed like 1,000 questions along the way. I really can't thank them enough for the peace of mind they provided to me throughout this process. They are worth every penny, and more!

to make magic happen - working with a nervous man I might add! She arranged a place, time, photographer, candles, champagne and the most gorgeous flowers I've ever seen. She also had my mom on FaceTime right away and made my fiancé feel cool calm and confident. She was able to provide a pedi-cab service and make reservations at Brennan's in a beautiful upstairs room with all of our friends (there was also a personalized menu with ourhashtag... I mean the cutest). I was totally surprised and still have not come down off cloud nine. Sarah is a truly gifted event planner - she has an amazing laid back but confident personality and gets the job done with a smile - she loves her job and her clients. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for that particular bride/client. A true wedding magician! And a bonus: you will have so. much. FUN with her! I can not wait to have her help plan my wedding - what she brings to an event is truly priceless. THANK YOU SO much for a night I will never forget, Sarah! Phillip and I Love you so much! #sheswhatsup

he planning process so easy and fun (which I didn't think was possible). My wedding is coming up on December 27th, and they have helped me with everything along the way. From the florist, to caterer, to rentals, and even my dress and the littlest details. After telling them my style and budget, they recommended the perfect vendors that matched my taste. I am SOO excited for my big day, and they have made everything so easy and stress free. They love what they do, and it really shows. These girls are a must have for planning your perfect wedding day. I couldn't be doing it without them and I'm so thankful!

lot of experience as planners. I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. The best!

nts, is sharp, organized, and knows how to throw a great party. When it started raining on the morning of our wedding Mary Katherine in typical form was really upbeat and reassured me that everything was going to be perfect and that the rain would cool things off, then go away in time for the ceremony - which it did! During the wedding, there were a bunch of different things that were supposed to happen at specific times - the actual ceremony, first line, cocktails, toasts, cake cutting, dinner, more toasts, dances, sparklers, etc. Everything magically took place according to the schedule and we didn't have to worry about anything. The only question Mary Katherine asked me at the reception was what drink I wanted when I didn't have one in my hand. We signed up for the "Day Of" planning package, but really got help for the entire week of the wedding. It was a really great investment because it took all of the stress and coordination responsibilities off of our shoulders on our wedding day, which allowed us to spend time with our guests and enjoy our wedding. I would highly recommend Mint Julep Productions if you want a stress free wedding with a professional, upbeat planner.

elped make my day everything I dreamed of! They made me feel like I was the only bride they were working with. Sarah and her two assistants, Mary Katherine and Sarah Beth, were at every meeting with all the vendors, double and triple taking notes so I didn't have to remember a thing!! They suggested great vendors. They made every gift box for the hotels and delivered them and the gift boxes came out precious! There are so many great things to say about Sarah and her team! The day was perfect and I'm so thankful to them! I wish we could do it all over again!! :)

were easy to work with and made the last week an absolute breeze. We opted for the "Eye Opener" and "Tying the Knot" Packages - but looking back we would totally pay for the whole shebang. Wedding coordination was worth every penny. Sarah embraced my creative vision and then kicked it up a notch! We will never forget our wedding day and how easy the Mint Julep team made it for us.

am an out of town bride so I chose Mint Julep for month of wedding coordination. Mint Julep took care of all of my rentals, linens and alcohol and were so helpful in creating a timeline for us and reaching out to all of our vendors. I pretty much just showed up a few days before the wedding and barely did anything! On the wedding day--they were indispensable. Our wedding had a lot of food and drink stations set up on the grounds and in the venue and Sarah and Mary made sure everything was stocked and perfect throughout . They are so sweet and fun to work with, our guests commented throughout how helpful they were in and they were always there for me when I needed them--to help me get out of my heels, hand me a cocktail and to even sew a rip in my dress!

rdination, mostly because I had almost 1.5 year engagement (so I had time to plan), and also because I was a bride trying to adhere to a budget. I will tell you if there is anywhere I would NOT cut a corner, it is with hiring a quality coordinator (such as these ladies). Wedding planners take such a burden off, especially during the final months/weeks prior to the big day. In hindsight I probably would have opted for a longer package, because they were such a pleasure to work with. They handled everything with grace and ease. I only just recently found out (almost two months later) from my mother in law, that my groom's cake did not get delivered initially by the cake-makers. These girls assured that the cake returned, and I heard nothing of it. They assembled all of my table displays beautifully and better than I envisioned (cigar bar, guest book table, wedding cake table, etc). Sarah and Mary Katherine are hilarious, open-minded, and always ready to handle any situation. I never believed the statement- your wedding will be the best night of your life, but I can assure you- it was! By the end, you will be sad the experience is over, not only because it was so well executed, but because you will miss being in their company :) Thank you Sarah and MK for everything

with vendors, bridal party, and family on your wedding day AND be able to enjoy yourself. Working with Sarah and Mary Catherine was the best, most important decision of my process. Sarah is a complete pro, going through my details and schedule with her completely calmed me down in the thick of planning. On the day of the wedding I realized how much I needed her. So many unexpected things happen and she always had the answer. She is two, no FIVE steps ahead of everyone. Fellow brides, this is the best gift you could give yourself - a relaxing wedding day! I can't recommend Mint Julep enough. Thank you Sarah for making our wedding weekend perfect :)

so much more! From decorating the event space exactly as I imagined it would look, to stepping in to ensure all of the vendors were on point so the night went exactly as planned, they were there to make sure the entire event was flawless. I would recommend the day of coordinator service by MJP to the bride that has their own vision and wants to plan themselves, but that does not want to have a single worry on the day of and wants to place their trust in a team that has her best interests in mind. My wedding would not have been the perfect night without it was without Sarah and Mary Katherine. Thank you guys so much!

disappoint. My wedding day was flawless and completely care-free thanks to Sarah and Mary Katherine. I opted for the 30 day package and it was perfect. They took over finalizing all of my plans and really stepped up the day before the wedding when we had a severe family emergency, taking EVERYTHING off of my hands. I had a vendor cancel on my the afternoon before the wedding day, within 1 hour, they had found a replacement. The day of the wedding was such a breeze - my bridesmaids complimented on how relaxed and stress free everything was. I had forgotten a few items at home, and within minutes Sarah or MK was handing me what I needed. These ladies are top-notch professionals that you can trust with any and every detail. Thank you Mint Julep Productions!

r way to make sure every detail was in place and taken care of and our wedding was absolutely perfect because of their hard work. I was super impressed with their professionalism and above all, their kindness. By the end of the weekend we felt like they were part of the family. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator/planner in New Orleans, you have come to the right place. We wish we could get married all over again just so we could have the opportunity to work with them again! Love you girls!

ow what I like and I know how to plan a party, but your wedding day is no ordinary dinner party. Sarah was and is my wedding angel. I literally would not have been able to handle everything without her. Not only did she refer fabulous vendors to me, but she managed my fiancé (who is the love of my life, but a complete procrastinator). She managed my out of town family (including my mother who hasn't thought about a wedding since hers in the 60's). She helps you with your budget, and your timeline and your pictures that you wanted to incorporate of your grandparents and parents but you don't know how to. She knows how to handle a party so YOU, the bride, can focus on being with your bridesmaids and family that have flown in across the country, and sip champagne and have someone do your hair. And that cousin that is too much to deal with, she will handle her too. She made sure that everything was taken care of, and she was pure joy to work with. She gets back to you quickly; she takes care of you as if you were her own sister. I will forever recommend her to any friends or acquaintances that are getting married. Her assistant, Mary Katherine, was wonderful as well-a true extension of Sarah, herself. If I didn't have their help, I would have surely eloped. I cannot thank her enough for everything that she has done for me and my new husband. I am eternally grateful and forever a Mint Julep Productions ambassador. Thank you so very much Sarah! xoxox Margaret McCoy :)

were accounted for to researching decor options, organizing our timeline and making sure all details were finalized (and paid for on time). As far as advertised services goes -- they delivered on all fronts. When we were thinking about hiring planning services, we were nervous about getting someone who would be stuffy and over-controlling, and the Mint Julep ladies are the exact opposite. They are laid-back, flexible and fun. They helped throw together many last-minute details without breaking a sweat, and they made us feel calm and comfortable throughout the entire process. On the big day, they were always there making sure we had a drink in our hand and asking if we needed anything, and put out a few fires behind the scenes so we didn't even know anything was going on. We really appreciated their attention to detail and wish we could have gotten to spend a little more time with them! Our only critiques would be we got married during the busy season, and they had a wedding almost every weekend leading up to ours, so naturally communication could've been better, but we can't fault them on that. On the day of, we could've used a little better time management leading up to the ceremony, as photos ran a little late and it was a little hectic when guests arrived way earlier than expected. Overall, if you're getting married at Race + Religious, I definitely recommend hiring them as they know the property better than anyone and have worked with just about every vendor in the city. They also make every worry you have seem to drift away. I'm not sure how we could have pulled off our wedding without them!

ll with a smile. They exceeded my expecatations. They made sure all of my vendors were ready for the day, took all of my decor and placed everything around the venue perfectly, and coordinated the entire weekend wayyyy better than I imagined. Love them and would definitly recommend them to anyone! :)

ade sure the vision we had for our day was made a reality. She brought up things I would have never even considered. Her impeccable taste and eye for detail made my wedding an event to remember for everyone. She really knows the vendors in the South Louisiana area and was able to find the perfect ones for me...all while remaining within my budget. She also handled the inevitable bumps that occur during the planning period, which allowed me to enjoy my wedding planning experience and relax on the big day. I could not have been happier with her work! Not to mention...she is so incredibly FUN! She can make anyone feel like her best friend (which is such a plus for someone planning one of the happiest days of your life). If you are hesitant at all...at least give her a call or send her an email. I promise you will not regret it!

inator and she knew exactly what I was thinking before I even had to say it! From helping to book our venue and church, all the way to getting us to the church, down the aisle, and then second lining to our venue, everything went perfectly!! I can truly say that was the happiest day of my life, and I am so thankful to Sarah for making it stress free and so very special for us. Highly recommend her to everyone!

med daunting until we brought on Sarah and Mint Julep Productions. From our very first meeting in New Orleans Sarah had things under control, taking us to vendor appointments and guiding us along the way while keeping us on budget. But Sarah’s real magic came out when she was able to book our “inspiration band” Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys to play our reception, for real! I still don’t know how she pulled that off. Our wedding was at Race and Religious which is an awesome venue. On the day of the wedding all we had to do is show up and get ready. Sarah and her team handled the set-up and tear down taking all the stress and worry out of the day. We were able to enjoy our friends, family and the moment. When we got back to our hotel room not only was there rose petals scattered everywhere but they had brought over our stuff from Race and Religious along with chilled champagne and leftover food. It was awesome. I now wish I had another event to plan so I could work with Sarah and her team again!
