New Orleans Wedding Planning LLC

wedding. We had decided to do a destination wedding in New Orleans. We had contacted the chamber of commerce who helped us get started by reserving Jackson Square but after that we felt like we were on our own. We had come up with a venue for the reception and we knew that we wanted to do a second line parade from Jackson Square to the reception. However, we were having trouble getting this nailed down. Also, my wife Rosalba started to worry about how the wedding day would go. She wondered who would put the chairs away after the ceremony and what if people didn't know where to go? So late that evening we found New Orleans Wedding Planning LLC online (AKA Beth's Flowers). We placed a call and to our surprise Sue answered! We talked for over an hour. She joked that we were "a hot mess" and promised to help us out. The very next day she was on the move getting the second line set up. Over those next 25 days Sue got it done. She also kept us in the loop which made us feel better since we were home in North Carolina. The wedding day went smoothly. The make up artist helped Rosalba and her staff told us where to be and what time to head to the venue. When we arrived at Jackson Square there was Sue and her staff running security. It was incredible how well it went. The parade went without a hitch and when we arrived at the reception Sue had us go into a private room where our food was prepared while the others were having drinks. I can't say enough about Sue. She also helped us get pictures and a christmas present for my wife. Sue is like family to us. Thank you

ue put all of my fears to rest instantly. She helped me have the wedding that I dreamed of and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’d rate her with 6 stars if I could, can’t recommend her enough enough.

ve a solid team -- Sue and her team have excellent temperament that is based up with solid execution and expertise. This team plans so many weddings -- and I never felt like a commodity over the course of my wedding planning with Sue and her team. Sue is well respected and many (if not all) of the vendors in the city know her. She will fight to ensure that her brides are well taken care of. You can rest assured of that. This team is excellent, and I don't say that lightly. You can trust them to plan your special day -- they take your trust and hold it at the highest level. They are also extremely detail oriented: you have a planner that takes the time to understand the intricacies of members of your family who may have special needs and ensures that they are well taken care of. Sue, Kira and Lisa were such a critical part of creating a special and FUN wedding day. They ensure that you float through it. We simply cannot thank them enough. You can trust this team with your special day. We really miss them post wedding!

lead us to Sue and co. From the moment we started talking on the phone I already felt less stressed and like they could get the job done and do it better than anyone else!! Within a few hours Sue and her gals had put in more dedicated work, time and attention to our planning than our previous planner had in months. They are so experienced and know exactly what to do and let me tell you they also know how to put you as ease and make you laugh! We are from Philly and planning a destination wedding, so I have felt a little more anxious planning from afar. Now that we have Sue, Lisa, and the rest of the staff I feel confident that we are going to have the most gorgeous and well planned wedding and it will be everything we ever dreamed of. I would recommend New Orleans Wedding Planners over and over again. Thank you ladies for saving us from ruin and turning a disaster into something amazing!!!

. I highly recommend them! I was a littler nervous that I had someone other than Sue and Lisa ,who I had been talking to and planning with the whole time, there for the rehearsal and day of but ROCK STARS! EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.OF. THEM. I mean honestly I turned around and they were there asking what I needed and making sure I was happy the entire time. I am so HAPPY with them. I told Lisa I am calling and talking to her all the time now. haha They really did a great job and made sure everything stayed on schedule. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ladies. I truly felt so special and that everyone cared and wasn't just there because it was their "job". If they are available for your day scoop them up! They are worth every penny. :)

hat I will remember for the rest of my life. I feel so fortunate to have found them. Thanks ladies I’ll never forget you !

moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed and treated as though I were family. Sue and Lisa immediately started working their magic. Within two weeks we were back in town with a full Itinerary to visit the vendors we were interested in. Amazing enough...everything was decided on and booked in within 24 hrs of setting foot on my planning path. We wound up having the remainder of the weekend to enjoy our friends in New Orleans. When I woke on Monday morning, I had a brief moment to recall the events of the weekend, doubting for a moment that I accomplished it all. I opened my emails and there was an email from Sue and Lisa aka my "wedding angels" wrapping up all the details. A big grin spread across my face, as I knew I could enjoy the ride from then on. I did have a couple moments that I just couldn't believe I shouldn't be doing anything else. During those times, I reached out to my "angels" and they quickly reassured me that all was well. It truly was all taken care of!!! Now, I am within 2 weeks of my wedding, and I can honestly say...all of done is get my dress and my "angels" did the rest!!! Instead of a stressful engagement, spent planning out the stressful details of my wedding, I was able to enjoy each and every moment of the parties and celebrations leading up to our wedding. My "angels" have all of my final touches in place and I'll be in New Orleans to enjoy all the details of their hard work. All I can say to anyone out there doubting whether they need a planner...GO FOR IT; DON'T HESITATE!! You will never regret calling these gals!!! They are truly dream weavers!! Thank you Sue and Lisa for all of your hard work, dedication and making this girl's dreams a reality! I look forward to enjoying the precious moments of my day, while it rests in your fabulous team's hands. You two are a precious find!! We just can't thank you enough!!!

led the number on a Sunday to leave my name and number. To my surprise, Sue answered the phone. We started chatting, she had me so at ease the time I hung the phone. I called my fiance I was so excited trying to tell him everything we talked about. He said to call her back now and book her. Ladies you do not get one planner when you book them. They work as a team Sue, Lisa, Nicole Donna they all worked with me. If you email them you might have a response by two of them. First I thought it was crazy. Then when I went to there shop I realized they all sit next to each other. I told them how I will get several response, from them, they laughed and said, yep we know we just want you to stay calm. We came down the following week after booking them. In one weekend Sue had taken us around to see venues, have tastings, meet with photographers. The next day we did save the date, invitations went to cake tastings. Everything that I had tried planning myself for over a month, they did it in a weekend. I read a review from a bride, that said they say bring your dress, they do the rest. It is so true! Thanks again Sue, Lisa, Nicole, and Faith this is one happy girl. I can't wait for my WEDDING!

would!!!

asy enough, but I simply had no idea where to go from there. I started looking on the Knot for wedding planners, although we weren't entirely sure that we were going to hire one at that point. I spoke with a few over the phone, some sent me emails and some simply sent their pricing brochures and left the rest up to me. I felt just as overwhelmed after speaking with most of them or reviewing what they had sent over. After a week or two, I came across New Orleans Wedding Planning, LLC. and decided to send in yet another request for a quote. I heard back from Sue almost immediately and after 30 short minutes on the phone with her, I felt overwhelmingly confident in hiring her to plan our wedding. Once Sue, Lisa and their amazing team took over, everything went more smoothly then I could have ever imagined. They booked us a weekend of meetings, tours and tastings, but Sue knew exactly what I wanted before we even arrived. Needless to say, our wedding was literally planned after day one. Over the course of our engagement, Sue and Lisa took care of absolutely everything! They answered every question, took care of every detail and made sure our wedding was absolutely flawless. The day of our wedding was an absolute fairytale and because of Sue and Lisa our only worry was simply enjoying our day! Both Sue and Lisa were completely available to us for literally every step of the process, from booking and paying our vendors, to planning the details, answering questions about etiquette, and making sure our Wedding Day was everything we dreamed of. Hiring New Orleans Wedding Planning, LLC. was without a doubt the best decision we made. Not only would I recommend hiring a Wedding Planner to every bride I meet, I would advise anyone planning a wedding in New Orleans to hire Sue at New Orleans Wedding Planning, LLC., she is simply the best!

ing on our delicious Gambinos cake! We didn't even have to lift a finger!!! I truly could not ask for more and we are so thrilled with the spectacular memories that we (and our guests!!) will remember for a lifetime!!!

she put me at ease right off the bat. Her team is very responsive, organized, warm, friendly, detailed, honest, and works within your budget. One week before the wedding, they made sure all the details were in order and called my vendors to verify date/time. The day of the wedding, Sue made sure I had someone there all day! I had Ms. Donna for the first half of the day and Ms. Lisa the second. Both of them were amazing. Lisa was there at the main event and kept an eye on everyone while making sure the timeline went accordingly. I'm convinced she is my fairy godmother. Thank you for everything, New Orleans Wedding Planning LLC!!!!

whelmed and was recommended Sue. Once we started working together she helped find me the perfect venue and recommend great vendors I can work with and connected me. She took care of permits for second line and jackson square. She is straight out and will tell you like it is, which I really appreciate. Sue is VERY responsive! I email her at any hour and always get a quick response! She created an itinerary from me for my preceding planning trip and was flexible in making changes as I needed them. I am looking forward to working with her more over the next 5+ months until the wedding. I feel with her and her team, my wedding is in good hands and I will be able to actually enjoy my wedding. UPDATE!!! My wedding has now happened and it was fantastic thanks to Sue and team!! Second line was definitely the highlight of the wedding!! Guest were raving about how well planned our wedding was!

ea in my head, Sue had written down at least four venues for us to visit. As soon as the holidays had passed Sue and Lisa, emailed me an itinerary with venues, tastings, bakeries, videographers, and photographers. I did not have to do a thing! They made the process seamless and easy. They completely took the pressure off of my fiancé and I. I must admit, there were nights I would have a question regarding a wedding detail, whether it be the rehearsal, hotel reservation, flowers, etc. It could be any hour of the night and they would respond. They made me feel like I was their main priority, they never complained. I was shocked they were able to give me so much attention with the list of weddings they plan every year. Sue, is honest and straightforward which I appreciate, and need for planning an event with numerous moving parts. Sue and her team, has an eye for detail that is impeccable. My wedding is August 2017. I am eternally grateful for all of their countless hours of hard work, wisdom, and creating a fairytale, known as my wedding day.

ck! By the end of the process, I did have white flowers, but they were the most beautiful and unique arrangements I have seen. Lisa, who is an absolute angel, saw my vision and worked with me to make it come true. Sue was also wonderful to work with! She was so accommodating, especially since my wedding was Mother's Day weekend, a huge flower holiday. They were beyond amazing, and I would highly recommend them to any bride in the City!

rest!". Truer words have never been said. Her team made wedding planning fun and as stress free as possible. They were also extremely responsive even to my late night e-mails whenever a random wedding question would pop into my head. If I thought the planning was spectacular, Sue and her team really shined the week of my wedding. I not only knew exactly where I had to be and at what time, but my wedding party knew everything as well. We had planned for an outdoor wedding but mother nature had other plans for us. Sue had a backup plan in place and worked miracles to get our second line parade permits moved as well. She was an absolute blessing to have that day and she worked very hard to give my husband and I the special day that we had spent the last year of our lives planning. Sue and Lisa THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have nothing but praises for you guys and everything you do for the couples you help.

n Disney World during Christmas time. I told Lisa that for the flower girls I wanted a Mickey Mouse shaped kissing ball, which no other florist would do. Lisa was such a big help in making my dream flowers come true. She gave me advice on what I could add to the bouquets to go along with the flowers I chose. Lisa also made sure that the ribbons on all of the flowers were not just any red, but that they were Mickey Mouse red. She even went the extra mile to show me what my bridesmaids bouquet would look like before ordering the flowers. Lisa indulged in my fantasy and was so friendly even when I never stopped talking about Disney. All of the flowers came out so beautiful and we even had many guest comment on how beautiful they were. I highly recommend Beth's flowers for many reasons. They gave my wedding the pixie dust needed to bring together my dream of a Disney wedding.

ad worked with Beth's before on other special events for his company. The reasonable prices alone were enough to get me on board. I was planning my New Orleans wedding while living in Washington, D.C. Lisa at Beth's Flowers did a consultation with me over the phone and helped me picture my wedding in a new way. More importantly, she helped my dad envision the flowers. He's a pretty tough former Marine so to hear him get excited about flowers was a small miracle. Lisa was more than helpful when it came to organizing long-distance. She helped me understand the...fragrant...problems I might face with my original idea (magnolias) and designed something simpler yet beautiful. We went with lilies and it was gorgeous. Lisa was responsive every step of the way. Beth's Flowers' professionalism on the day of the wedding was outstanding! As the bride, I wasn't bothered at all with details that morning. Their team handled everything in a timely and easy manner. Her column arrangements at the head of the aisle created the grand entrance I wanted without going overboard or clashing with my church's decor. I know I should've been looking at my groom when I walked in but the flowers caught my eye first (don't tell him I said that)! Beth's had the flowers transported from the church to the reception hall and we gave them to my grandmother-in-law as a gift after that. They lasted on her dining room table for well over a month after the wedding. I will definitely be going back to Beth's for my next big event, maybe a baby shower (you can tell my husband I said that)!

tonnieres, and table arrangements and it wasn't scary at all. Then I proceeded to call or email her and Sue approximately once per week for 6 months and add or change something to my order. They were beyond patient with me. They responded to my every request or question within a matter of minutes. Of all my wedding vendors they were the most friendly and responsive. When my lovely fiance decided he wanted him and the groomsmen to wear baby blue ties, I freaked out a little bit (again color scares me). Lisa convinced me to incorporate some blush and gray/blue into my bridesmaid bouquets. Not only did it pull our entire color palette together, but the bouquets were just gorgeous! I got more compliments on our wedding flowers than on any other aspect of our wedding. My cousin has a garden blog in Seattle and she has used multiple shots of our wedding arrangements on her blog. We got married under the live oak trees in Audubon Park, but I really feel it was our flowers that created the magical, ethereal feel I was hoping for. If I could give these ladies 10 stars I would!!

eight months from the engagement to the wedding day. Sue helped us find the perfect venues and vendors. Every detail was planned and executed to perfection. And the flowers! Oh so beautiful! All of the guests repeatedly commented that it was the most beautiful and best wedding they had ever attended. Sue, I just wish I had another child to get married so I could do this all over again with you! Thank you!

so had some things that I didn't really think about that Beth's Flowers was able to see my blind spots and give advice to make truly stunning wedding displays. I would definitely recommend using her for your wedding florist.

ning. I loved them and got so so many compliments. I had them decorate my cake and put some flowers and babysbreath into vases for my tables. So simple, yet perfect. They created adorable, delicate flower crowns for my two flower girls. I also had them decorate my venue Popp Fountain with candles. They lined them up the aisle and arranged them on my alter. The set up was beautiful. Sue is great and knows her stuff so you will feel confident in whatever she does and Lisa is a sweetheart and is wonderful to work with. Would definitely recommend Beth's Flowers!

to talk with Lisa for over an hour! We talked about growing up in the city, families, weddings, flowers, ideas, etc. She put me right at ease. Whew... I described the wedding and the budget. She immediately had ideas for the perfect bridesmaids bouquets. They were extremely friendly, professional and the flowers were just like we had discussed. The flowers were delivered the morning of the wedding in small water vases for freshness. Thank you Lisa and Beth's flowers for putting this local out of town girl at ease and creating a beautiful wedding! Joan van Heerden

t I could smile from ear to ear all night. I especially loved that we got all the "mandatory events" - such as photos, cake cutting, bouquet throw, etc. out of the way so we could have fun and enjoy our wedding!!!

!

found my wedding planner. Everything about them was perfect (price, personality etc.). They really just make you feel like family. I am from New Orleans but currently live in Houston and Sue and Lisa have been a blessing every step of the way. They have scheduled vendor appointments for us on my very, very tight schedule with both recommended vendors and various vendors I asked about. Even with my parents still living in New Orleans, there is no way we could have accomplished so much without the this team. Weddings are a lot of work and New Orleans Wedding Planners are worth every penny!! There was absolutely no stress with Sue and Lisa coordinating the big day! There was a coordinator with the bridal party the day of the wedding and they truly have a team behind you to make the most important day of your life go flawlessly! The made sure all the vendors were communicated with and handled any little vendor issue that I needed. Any detail you can possibly think of, they have covered. Thanks to them my wedding day was filled with pure bliss and NO WORRIES! To say New Orleans wedding planners have helped bring my wedding dreams to reality does not even begin to describe the wonderful adventure it has been with them as a full-service wedding planner!

husband's Cajun heritage. We were stressed about the wedding planning until we hired Sue. Before we went to NOLA for our first wedding planning trip, we had a phone meeting with Sue to tell her what we were looking for. Then, a week before the trip, we got an itinerary from her for the trip. Talk about efficiency! Over just 2 days, we checked out 6 venues, tried 4 caterers, and tasted cakes from 2 bakeries. All these time, she had her assistant with us to take notes, so we didn't have to! At the end of the trip, we had a recap meeting with Lisa, and we proceeded to lock down our venue, caters, cakes, flower, and decoration! Just like that, most of our wedding planning was done over a long weekend in NOLA! Sue is great at dealing with things that you don't want to deal with yourself, like contacting the vendors, or negotiating contracts. Lisa is also wonderful, she keeps track of all of your payment due dates and wedding RSVPs so you don't have to! Trust me, you don't need any extra stress before the wedding. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, they always managed to calm me with solutions and alternatives. Sue has a strong personality, but she knows how to take care of you and your groom on your big day. She was there at the events early to make sure everything is set up correctly, and she also made sure my husband and I didn't go all night without food or drinks. There were so many things for the wedding that we didn't think of until they suggested them, for examples, the content of our welcome gift bags (all the guests loved their hefty NOLA themed gift bags), the room blocks for guests depending on the noise level, live jazz band for the cocktail hour and wedding ceremony, pedicabs that brought everyone rain ponchos before it started to rain, sturdy flipflops for guests to change to before the second line, the list goes on... Needless to say, our wedding was amazing because of all the help from Sue and Lisa. My husband and I appreciate their help so much during the whole wedding planning process. If you want an amazing and authentic NOLA wedding, you need to hire Sue!

stination wedding, I immediately went on The Knot and interviewed many of the top rated Event Planners in New Orleans. I live in Los Angeles and I knew that there was no way that I could coordinate this wedding remotely, I needed boots on the ground! During my first conversation with Sue Rudiger, it became readily apparent that she had quickly grasped our vision, had a strong reputation in the community, and although she had tons of experience, she still loved her work and was eager to jump in with creative and unique ideas to make my daughter's wedding dreams a reality! She quickly compiled a wonderful list of hotels, beautiful venues and creative, talented vendors that both supported our budget and our vision. Her creativity, guidance, quick responsiveness and attention to detail have been truly indispensable! Predictably, there have been a few times during the planning stages that I have felt anxious about one thing or another. It has a been a huge comfort and asset to be able to reach out to Sue who quickly puts my mind at ease with her calm, consistent response: "You don't have to worry about a thing, that's why you have me!" Exhale! I'll be back to report again after the big event! Cheers!

g was in order for the big day. Beth's Flowers and Mrs Sue had though!! My flowers were beautiful and stunning! She even went out of her way to add a few pink roses to everything to make it "over the top"! Mrs Sue and her people are the best. When I went in there in early February to pick out flowers I didn't want to leave. We sat and talked for about an hour and she had me laughing and cutting up the entire time. We even face timed my Mom so she could be involved. I know one thing is for sure, I wish I could get married all over again so I could stare at my beautiful flowers for another day!! Thank you Sue!! You guys are the best!

the details on the big day. Sue managed all the logistics before hand, which was comforting to my OCD planning methods. Donna was my day-of coordinator and she was on top of it. Although my wedding was only 24 people, she treated it like it was 300! She was so sweet and treated me like her own daughter making sure I ate and my dress didn't get all tangled up. She also helped my dad bring all the ice and champagne to the venue in her own cooler (way to think ahead!). Side note: we treated her to her first UBER ride! She knew exactly what to do the whole time. Everything went off without a hitch and it couldn't have been more perfect!

sonal attention and made me feel completely at ease. The ability to see a sample display of the flower arrangements prior to the wedding day was extremely important to me. She took the time to go over every little detail in person to make sure everything was perfect. I had a hard time visualizing what the structure would look like, but when I saw it on the day before my wedding, it was far more exceeded my expectations. It was so grand. It really set the stage for my bridal party and gave a romantic appearance. I had no reason to worry, because they were speedy, professional, and made everything perfect.

e in Coming to America! A recommendation led me to Beth's Flowers. The floral, candle and lifting design was the perfect dressing for my venue. Gorgeous arrangements, a touch of bling with perfectly scattered roses accompanied the addorted candles perfectly. When I saw the finished look - I gasped! Bella! Que bonito! Beth's was affordable and it was money well spent for our special day.

kly whether it be email or a phone call. Highly recommend!!

got it. See we are an older couple, but I still wanted a fair tale wedding. I had my three grown god daughters as my flower girls, (who killed it by the way) and 3 bridesmaids. We wanted to incorporate a cross into the venue and my flowers, WOW my flowers for that was absolutely perfect, and then on the day of the ceremony just 45 minutes from our GO time, the skies opened up, yep just my luck. But low and behold the flowers made it through and were just as beautiful. Thank GOD I listened and went with the silk flowers for that. My bouquet was everything I wanted, whimsical, colorful and different. I will never be able to top that beauty, it just popped in every picture. So if you are worried about your flowers for the day of your big event, don't be use Beth's Flowers and Sue and Jen will take care of everything.

nd I went there with a specific budget. I basically told her exactly what i wanted and our budget and she rolled with it. Gave us what we wanted plus more. I promise we stayed there for only about 30minutes. Flower, contract, and payment plans were all in affect in that short time frame..One word AMAZING! Even when I had to move some payments around, they had no problem doing that for us(with just one phone call). When our wedding day arrived I walked into my venue and saw all of the bouquets, kissing balls, boutiniers, and pilsners, Tears began to flow. Everything was absolutely STUNNING! I would recommend Beth's to ANYONE. Great service, GREAT staff, BEAUTIFUL WORK! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!♡♡ SIGNED, Satisfied Bride!! IREYON

l bride, I wanted a luxurious and elegant wedding, but on a budget. I discussed with Lisa my vision and she was able to transform my vision in terms of floral arrangements. I left that appointment feeling accomplished. Two weeks before the event, I realized that I had forgotten to order my bouquet. I called Lisa in a panic, but she calmed me down and assured that everything will be fine. Woohoo! Then the week of the event, I realized that I needed order corsages and boutonnieres for the aunts and uncles. I called Lisa again and she rescued me again. The flowers were delivered early at my house and they were perfect! Beth's Flowers were AMAZING!

e out of state, we were able to come in for a weekend convenient with our schedule, and have everything completed in just TWO days! We have our date, venue, band, caterer, church, flowers, invitations, transportation, and cake all done! And it is exactly what we wanted and within our budget! They have so much knowledge and experience, and were so helpful with finding the perfect vendors. We are so thankful for Sue and her staff of hardworking ladies for the kindness and hospitality they showed us on our visit. We had a blast! Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for May 2017!

ve them a call - THEY ARE THE BEST

if we were forgetting things, also what was unnecessary saving us money. She & Amber worked together as a team approach. That is what it should be,I was married & this was our daughter's wedding not mine. We first went to Beth's Flower's and met with Sue, just 6 weeks after our daughter had gotten engaged.We were from Houma,so we were not sure if she came to Houma. My husband & I had seen her work in New Orleans before. Amber loved her work the minute she saw her shop.At that time we only wanted to use her florist even though I knew she was a wedding planner.My husband had strict orders that we didn't need a wedding planner. As we left her shop,Amber called her Dad & told him about the appt. how she loved the flowers & ideas they came up with,he was happy & asked to speak to me. He asked me if Sue was available for Amber's date of her wedding as a wedding planner? I told him I didn't know saying,"I thought you said NO wedding planner?"He then stated with phone on speaker,go in & hire her if she is available.I think you will need help especially that last month,I want you relaxed.We did go back in,with a startled look on Sue's face she said,"can help you?" I said,we called her Dad, he wants to know if you are free the date of her wedding as a wedding planner? She looked startled as we all did saying,"I thought your husband said no planner?" We all laughed, she was then hired as a wedding planner. Within a week my husband of 35 years & Amber's Dad died of a traumatic accident.We've told this story many times.Someone above knew his fate & knew we would need all the help we could get if this wedding was going to take place. It took place 12/12/14. Without Sue as the wedding planner & Beth's Flowers bringing in all of Amber's ideas that made this wedding the most beautiful wedding I 've ever seen. She worked with us at times day to day,taking charge when Amber & I couldn't think for ourselves due to the traumatic loss of my husband& her Dad I can't imagine what would have happened.This was the most beautifully decorated wedding, Amber had a vision,Beth's Flower's & Sue made this vision come true flawlessly.Sue helped with every detail,making a year of sadness come to life with her spirit, compassion, professionalism, friendship and comfort to both of us. Amber & her planned her wedding.I just watched the fairy tale unfold. Sue I love you & want to give you a million stars because you truly made this dream come true. Beth's Flowers & Sue incorporated the things we purchased on our own,helped us save money making this wedding flow flawlessly.She came to Houma several times to help plan, decorated our home, church & reception site. She became acquainted with the groom & his family from the beginning.We all fell in love with Sue. Amber & I have recommended Beth's Flowers & Sue as a wedding planner.Sue, we could not have done it without you! We have made a new & beautiful friend.Her shop & staff are the best.We recommend anyone who wants a flawless beautiful unique wedding to use her shop &her services as their planner.There aren't enough words to say how grateful we are.Wayne,her Dad says thank u & sends flowers from heaven to you. Love, Jan Cancienne

t and it felt like an obvious choice for our wedding. I discussed wedding planners with my fiancé and he told me no, so naturally I looked up several wedding planners and I emailed only Sue…THANK GOD I did. We arrived in New Orleans to naively plan the wedding ourselves in one long weekend. The first day we arrived I had set up several venues, one was lovely and over priced and the others were downright creepy (one place smelled like urine which is not the scent I was going for on my wedding day). Fortunately, the next day we were meeting Sue. From the moment I walked into her flower shop (Beth’s flowers) I was immediately comfortable with Sue and her assistant Jen, and a sense of relieve washed over me. Between the Thursday we walked into Beth’s flowers and the Saturday we left, Sue had found us our venue, photographer, several hotel blocks at excellent rates and of course, flowers. Both Sue and Jen showed us amazing southern hospitality and she went above and beyond, pulling out all the stops to get us tastings and meeting with the best in the business. On top of all of that I am still amazed she was able to find me the perfect venue, literally our vision (rustic themed with exposed wood and brick), considering we had only exchanged a handful of emails about it. Sue saved my fiancé and I more than the nominal fee for her services. What Sue did for us is priceless. You would be crazy not to hire Sue, Jen and the gang at Beth’s Flowers.

ved to our consultation and was so impressed by the professionalism of Jen and Sue. I am so picky and it honestly felt like Jen went into my brain and read my mind. She pulled up pictures on an iPad of different flowers and arrangements that were exactly what I wanted. I was very comfortable sharing my likes and dislikes with no hesitation from Jen. I even showed her a picture of how I wanted the aisle to look with candles and lanterns. She said she could make that happen. (And she did!) What I appreciated the most is that Beth's flowers will create the arrangement you want however tailor it to your budget substituting flowers, ect. I was not able to view the flowers day prior to the wedding since I had a schedule conflict but I did have full confidence in them. Day of the wedding, I was blown away by everything. It was my first time seeing the flowers and everything I asked for and more. My bouquet was so beautiful and full along with my bridesmaids. The arrangements on the water fountain, lanterns plus candles down the aisle and rose petals were placed exactly where I wanted them. My reception was amazing as well with all my center pieces arrange perfectly on each table with rose petals. I love that I gave no direction on where to place what, like I said before. They can read your mind! I received so many compliments and was very proud of everything. Jen also recommended our DJ and second line which were a hit as well! Again. she just knew all the right vendors. Thank you again for making my day unforgettable.

y. They delivered everything to the reception and church on time and flawlessly! Jen had great ideas that helped me decide how to display different flowers. They made the process very easy and it was great to work with people who are so knowledgeable about arrangements and weddings!

to do my floral arrangements! I talked with Sue over the phone and sent pictures through email. I was a little scared since I had not spoken in person that she may not know my vision. Well my flowers were literally exactly what I wanted! I have never seen more gorgeous table arrangements, bouquets, or boutineer's! I LOVE how you are able to go see your flowers the day before your wedding if you choose to. It was so fun to go with my mom and see them ahead of time. It also put my mind at ease on my wedding day knowing they were so gorgeous and exactly what I asked for. I also did not have to take out a loan to cover the cost of my flowers. Their prices are extremely reasonable and they were very helpful when I told them I wanted to stay within a certain budget! I cannot thank them enough for helping make my wedding so gorgeous!

ers. When we got to Beth's Flowers, Sue was so kind and confident in assuring us that they would have whatever we wanted for our wedding. She listened to what I liked and knew exactly what I was looking for in my flowers (probably better than I knew). When it came to the week of the wedding, she texted me pictures of our arrangements for the buffet table and allowed us to come look at our bouquets, pew flowers, and other flowers the day before our wedding, just in case we needed to change anything. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, so there's was nothing to change in terms of flower, color, or arrangement. We did though change some roles in our wedding since we had originally met with Sue, and it was nice to be able to change a couple of corsages to boutonnieres before the wedding day instead of realizing it the day of the wedding. I'm so happy with Beth's Flowers and would definitely recommend them. I felt like my wedding was a priority and Sue wouldn't allow me to have anything less than perfect wedding flowers.

2015 (the day before Mother’s Day) and she was still able to provide me top quality arrangements during a very high demand weekend. I had a unique request for my bouquet, as I wanted it to be made up of only broaches and she didn’t hesitate to work with me and my vision. I had some sentimental pieces that she was able to incorporate very tastefully. I truly loved my bouquet as did everyone at the wedding. Everyone couldn’t stop raving at how beautiful and unique my bouquet was. I have a one of a kind piece of art made custom for me that I get to cherish and show off forever. I would recommend Mrs. Sue to anyone who wants a top notch florist! I enjoyed working with Mrs. Sue and I knew I was in good hands. I know I’ll be back for all my floral needs!

es and told Sue styles I like and she completely got it! She created exactly what I wanted. Sue let me go by the day before the wedding to check everything and get a sneak peak, which was so sweet and helpful. Really, Sue was amazing! I would definitely use her for another event or refer her to my friends!

ieces were the prettiest ones they had ever seen! The flowers were lush, fresh and totally over the top! Our wedding looked like a beautiful fairytale and I felt like we really got the most for our money. Beth's Flowers also coordinated the design and set up of our romantic and beautiful wedding chuppah. Having a chuppah was a really important part our ceremony and it was a showstopper!We could not have been happier with how everything turned out! Beth's Flowers made all my wedding dreams come true and would highly recommend using them!

ruly a life saver. She was able to help my mom in a ways that I could not. She worked closely with my mom for months before the wedding. When my husband and I finally made it down to Louisiana she was a delight to meet with and filled me in on every detail of the day. Sue tried to accommodate everything I wanted. On the day of the wedding, it is because of Sue and her assistant that I quite literally had no stress at all. They took care of everything and took care of my husband and my every request. If you are considering getting a wedding planner it is well worth the cost and I highly recommend Sue.

d work. She and the staff are all professional and helpful. They did last minute changes and were upfront with who paid for what. If you want great value and quality service, Beth's Flowers is the way to go.

tment, it would not have happened. She not only helped me plan every detail of my big day, but she is making sure that no end is left loose. She is always available at the send of an email or phone call and makes sure that her brides are always happy (even if that means stressful hours for her). She is truly compassionate about her work, and knows the best route to take to have a successful and smooth wedding planning experience. Another thing that I really liked about her is that she provides amazing guidance in your decisions. Sometimes us brides have an idea in our head that we aren't sure how to display or let alone if it is a good idea and can work at that venue. Sue is very honest with what she thinks is best for the flow of the wedding and will find a way to incorporate your idea and making your wedding all about you. From decorations to flower, invitations, and support she is there for it all. Ladies, if you are getting married in the New Orleans area like I am, Sue will tell you the best place for your guests to stay, will block rooms, help with transportation, and also has amazing contacts of photographers, hairstylist, and venues. You will not need a florist, because it can go through her- and once you see her work you will know why you've chosen her. Sue has put me in contact with such amazing people, all very good at their work and easy to work with (hair, makeup, photography) which is definitely a game changer since we have to work so closely with them the day of the wedding. If I can recommend one thing to future brides, it is to hire a wedding planner. Sue has not only taken such burden off of me, but has made the wedding planning process fun and easy. Once you meet her, and you see how down to earth and warm she is you will start saying the same thing I've been saying for the last year...What would I do without Sue?

ot one detail was missed. All of our guest, including guys, talked about how blown away they all were and how beautifully romantic it was. All we heard constantly was "over the top", "romantic" and "gorgeous". I know all of this was possible because of Sue's ability to really understand what I was trying to achieve and still work with our budget. I also was an out of state bride so this made it a little scary for me. But Beth's Flowers really out did theirselves and I will always recommend them to anyone wanting a fabulous wedding!!!!!

nothing else had been done when I met Sue. I remember walking in to Beth's Flowers feeling lost and overwhelmed. Sue assured me that if she planned my wedding that she will get it back on track. I instantly knew that she was the planner for me. She not only helped me make all my flower decisions that day, helped me find the best invitations, she made wonderful recommendations to vendors.From that day Sue has been super helpful especially when I cant deiced on things and need a second opinion. She saved my wedding and made everything less stressful. My wedding is in a few days and I cant wait to see how everything will turn out. I know Sue will hold everything together and make my day perfect.

until December, I know it will be amazing thanks to Mrs. Sue. She has been there every step of the way throughout this wedding planning process. I could not have done it without her!!!!

e of mind that Sue and her staff gave the bride and mother of the bride were certainly well worth the price of the ticket. I referred to it as my bridezilla Xanex, and would not consider another wedding without hiring Sue as my first stop.

value and quality!

pictures. They were the perfect colors for my summer wedding, and I'd definitely recommend her to others!

livered with no hassles at all. I am so happy that I used Beth's Flowers as my vendor and I recommend them to any bride in New Orleans!

ly made it pop and I got so many compliments! Thanks for everything!!

ble to do the initial consultation on a Saturday, but they were able to do everything my daughter wanted. I love that they insist that the bride come to see the flowers the afternoon before the wedding. Since my daughter wasn't actually there for the consultation, this was particularly important. When we went to Beth's on the afternoon before the wedding, they were so nice and welcoming. They showed us all our flowers and we were very pleased. Everything the day of the wedding was beautiful and the staff was very helpful. The cake was late being delivered and Beth's staff came back out to put the flowers on the cake without being called. I highly recommend Beth's Flowers.

meeting Ms. Sassy Sue (as I often called her privately), I realized that I should have met and used her sooner. She helped plan, organize, find flowers, arrange my beautiful bouquets, find music, and a videographer all for a very reasonable price. She is more than willing to work with any budget and keeps you updated and abreast of everything that is going on without being pushy or conversely, keeping you in the dark. You must use Sue!

ng the rehearsal dinner. She took care of everything the day of the wedding from making sure Auntie Mary got to the church to immediately getting a replacement bus for the groom and groomsmen when their bus broke down on the way to the church. They arrived on time! Sue and her staff were friendly and helpful. So many times during the planning, wedding, and even after, my daughter and I would look at each other and say "What would we do without Sue?"

uld want or ask for before I even open my mouth to do so.With a few simple ideas of what I would like my dream day to be, she instantly comes up with a vision I have dreamt about since I was a llittle girl. If you are looking for a planner that will give her full 100% into making your day special say "I Do" with Sue.

d in my first wedding planned by Sue. I was stunned by how organized and put together everything seemed. Being a young girl who stood in 3 weddings prior, I felt I had my fair share of experience. I was familiar with an event full of anxiety and rush, but this was not like that. Everyone knew where they had to be and when they had to be there. Most importantly, the bride seemed calm as a cucumber. This was very new to me. This is when I knew I wanted Sue to plan my wedding. At my aunt’s wedding, I turned to Sue and said “You better get ready to plan my wedding.” 7 years later I turned to Sue to plan my wedding. I reached out to Sue in July of last year, simply to book her as my florist, because I know she is the best. During this meeting, she offered me advice on what goes into planning a wedding. From my face, she could tell, I had instant anxiety. She assured me that with her help, I would feel no anxiety. Of course, I could not pass this up, so I made her my wedding planner. This was the best decision I could have made. Over the course of this year, I have felt no stress. At the start, she assisted me with booking all of the vendors, making suggestions on who she thought was the best. Through her connections, I was able to get great deals, in comparison to the quotes I received on my own. She helped me pick the save the dates and wedding invitations through showing me the books she keeps in her shop. She took care of ordering everything. Also, my save the dates were sent to her to keep them organized. I was free from stress, but I knew the biggest tackle had yet to come. My family owns a restaurant chain, Copeland’s of New Orleans, so of course, I wanted to serve our food. It was difficult finding a great venue that would allow us to bring our own food, but we found it. The big challenge here is the lack of knowledge our staff has organizing a wedding. Yes, we can put great food out at a restaurant, but a wedding is different ball game. I believe those were the words that came directly from Sue. Sue organized a meeting with the restaurants staff. Here she explained in details of what they needed to do in order to be successful. Through her connections and organization, my wedding is going to have everything I could have dreamed of and more. She has really gone above and beyond to ensure that I get everything I want from my wedding, stress free. She has followed up with all of the vendors, made payments, organized my save the dates, ordered the flower girls, reader, and gift bearer gifts, and planned my entire reception, from getting the Chef, to designing the room. I simply cannot put into words how much she has done for me. I write to you to suggest that Sue wins the best of the best wedding planner. On top of the traditional wedding planner duties, Sue was given the challenge to take an empty room and create a wedding. There was no catering company, there was just a staff. She created a catering crew, designed the room with my vision, organized the itinerary, and most importantly, kept me free of anxiety. I have nothing but positive things to say about the way Sue runs her business. She has been a blessing. I could not think of anyone better to be awarded the best of the

and having her was a great idea! For the amount of flowers and other touches we had, she was very well-priced.
