Uncommon Camellia

We had the pleasure of working with Lizzie F. as our wedding coordinator from Uncommon Camellia, and we cannot imagine the day without her! Lizzie started us off with Uncommon Camellia's signature checklist, and I kid you not, that thing is gold. The package we selected allowed us to then sort of plan on our own (with Lizzie's continued support as needed) and I could NOT have done that without the checklist. During the final 6 or so weeks, Lizzie stepped back in to take over vendor communication and all the nitty gritty details. She kept everything on track and brought such a calm energy to what could've been a stressful time. It was on the day of the wedding that Lizzie F, and her team of Lizzie M and Hawa, really shined. They handled everything like absolute pros - putting out fires behind the scenes, keeping everything on time, and somehow making it look effortless. Lizzie wasn't just managing logistics though, I saw her pouring wine for our guests, she supplied me with bandaids for my feet after our second line, and she made sure we had cake in our hotel room at the end of the night. Oh and the team took our dog offsite to where my husband's family was staying! True angels. More than anything, you can really tell Lizzie loves her job. We're endlessly grateful!

I had such an excellent experience with Uncommon Camellia. They worked as a team to make sure everything ran seamlessly. Natalie was excellent!! Her knowledge of the event space, relationships with other vendors, and experience really set her apart. She made us feel so taken care of! Lisa was so sweet and disarming. I enjoyed connecting with her since she used the same reception venue for her wedding. She also went out of her way to find nail glue day of after my dip polish came off. Krystle helped ensure I got to enjoy every moment of my reception. She frequently checked in with me throughout the evening. She also helped secure my dress after the bustle came undone.

We hired Uncommon Camellia within 3 months of our wedding date. I was very worried that we would not be able to get everything into place in such a short time frame but, in walks Lisa and she took on the challenge and exceeded our expectations! From day one, she was very attentive and helpful. Lisa took care of all of the preparation and that allowed me to enjoy our special day. Also, Kelsey and Jennifer were great on our wedding day. This group was caring and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

Uncommon Camellia and particularly Kaycie, Lizzie, and Hawa, were absolutely amazing. I think what best sums up how great they were is that our Venue — that has been holding weddings for 20+ years — said that Kaycie was the best coordinator she ever worked with. From start to finish Kaycie, Lizzie, and Hawa, were detail oriented and knew how to execute the big day. They were also compassionate and helpful. They also were not “yes men” and gave us realistic feedback on what might not work as intended. For our wedding there were rain considerations, and Kaycie, Lizzie, and Hawa came up with multiple plans depending on the amount and severity of rain. They worked well with everyone in our wedding party and all of our vendors. My only regret is I can’t give them 6 stars!!!

Planning a wedding and getting married is a whirlwind, but having a team like Alexis, Amber, and Rachel to coordinate made everything smooth and enjoyable. They brought my vision to life, embraced my non-traditional ideas, and worked with my busy schedule. Alexis was always ahead of the game, ensuring every detail was handled, and she even laughed at my dad’s jokes, which earned her extra points with my family. Amber was incredible as my personal attendant. She helped with our dresses, made sure everything was in place, and was always there when I needed her. Her support made the morning so much easier. One of the things that stood out most was how Alexis remembered all the little things I mentioned along the way. Whether it was a small décor detail, a last-minute request, or something I casually brought up in conversation, she made sure it all happened. Her attention to detail was impressive, and I could tell how much thought and care she put into making everything just right. Throughout the weekend, I found myself saying, “Don’t worry, Alexis will handle that,” and she always did. From the smoothest rehearsal my family has ever experienced to the way she seamlessly managed last-minute changes, she made everything run perfectly. I know she handled so much behind the scenes, allowing me to fully enjoy the day. My parents were amazed, my guests are still raving that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Alexis, Amber, Rachel, and the entire Uncommon Camellia team made our wedding truly unforgettable.

i cannot give enough props to uncommon camellia and natalie, who was our lead. we ended up having major changes due to weather and i never knew anything other than "hey it's inside now." i had no stress about vendors or set up or anything. brie was with me throughout getting ready. she was wonderful. she helped keep hair and make up order on track, helped with all of the little things on the morning of and ended up helping my matron of honor finish our secondline umbrellas that i didn't have the chance too. don't think she signed up for that but it was so helpful! once we got through the morning, natalie and lisa took over and everything was super smooth considering the changes due to weather. i was really unhappy with the band and both natalie and lisa did their absolute best to fix it. part of my bustle broke, i had no idea until natalie was on it with safety pins ready to go! absolutely would hire them again in a heart beat.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Maria and Tori for my wedding! Maria coordinated my wedding and went above and beyond to make it the best weekend. Her attention to detail is remarkable, and she makes it look easy! Tori joined her for the wedding weekend and they were the best team we would have asked for! I truly felt that they were my friends and were there to make my day easy and fun! I cannot recommend this duo enough. Thank y'all so much for every single thing.

We would absolutely recommend Uncommon Camellia and had a great experience. We used Jeny Himel for "day of" coordinator (wedding coordination package). Jeny was fantastic and a joy to work with. She communicated throughout the entire process and was always very responsive. She went above and beyond with handling the vendors so we could fully enjoy the wedding day!

WOW! We hired Maria Gomila and her team Lisa and Torie to coordinate my son's wedding in New Orleans. These ladies are fantastic at what they do! Professional, knowledgeable, detailed and FUN! We could not have done this wedding without them. Maria walked us through everything and helped us know what to expect, She recommended great vendors and pulled everything together the wedding weekend. Her big smile and warmth light up any room and will help keep everyone calm. Lisa and Torie helped with "weekend of" execution and were amazing too. I HIGHLY recommend Uncommon Camellia for your wedding planning. Ask for Maria, you will be thrilled that you did :)

We hired Alexis with Uncommon Camellia to help us plan our New Orleans wedding. She was with us from day one and always responded quickly to our questions no matter how silly they were. She was incredibly knowledgeable, organized and professional. For the day of, we also hired Brittney and Melissa to help with getting ready and orchestrating the event. Their team was extremely kind, helpful and was always there to anticipate our needs before we even knew what we needed. I would HIGHLY recommend Uncommon Camellia to any of my friends and family, they truly made the day a dream come true.

I can’t recommend Uncommon Camellia wedding coordination services enough! Torie Barberio, our lead coordinator, was absolutely amazing from the very beginning. She was so professional, supportive, and always on top of things. Torie gave us some fantastic suggestions for vendors in every category that a beautiful wedding needs, and she even created a timeline to help us manage all the appointments, meetings, shopping, and reminders by the month. She took care of all the vendor confirmations a whole month before the wedding, which was a huge relief and helped us relax a lot. The week before the big day, Torie came with us to the venue and showed us around. She helped us pick out the perfect decor and menu items, and she even helped us make decisions when we needed it. Torie and her assistant Kayce handled everything perfectly on the wedding day and took care of all the last-minute details. As a team, they handled any unexpected issues that came up, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Their presence on the wedding day was so calming and joyful. It was like having a team of angels helping to make the dream wedding come true!

Maria Gomila was our wedding coordinator, and she did so much to help make our day stress free so that we could fully enjoy it. She was recommended to me by my cousin who said she was, “the best money she spent on her whole wedding.” and I could not agree more! We used a non-traditional venue and she helped us navigate the hurdles to coordinate a beautiful and smooth sailing wedding day. She also eased so much stress in the weeks leading up to the wedding and helped us to prioritize tasks so that everything was ready for the big day. I am pretty type A, so it’s rare that I feel like I can fully relax and trust someone to handle things for me. With Maria, I was completely at ease and able to be fully present for my wedding day.

Stop searching for a wedding coordinator, because you will not find anyone better than Meryl and her assistant Karina with Uncommon Camelia. After meeting with several well-reviewed coordinators, we hired Meryl due to her stand-out intro meeting and prompt communication. We remained in contact up until the wedding day, and in all of our interactions with Meryl, she was timely, thorough, honest, and knowledgeable. Everyone knows that planning a wedding is daunting, even for the most meticulous planners, but the final stretch of coordination between vendors, musicians, friends, family members, etc. is unmatched. With Meryl, the process was smooth, seamless, and enjoyable. I almost get dizzy trying to imagine doing it without her, it wouldn’t have happened! During the wedding weekend, Meryl exceeded expectations in every way. She was never in the spotlight, but somehow always magically there when you needed her. On multiple occasions, she identified and solved logistical problems before they happened, all without us or anyone in the wedding party knowing. Our drinks (and importantly, our moms’ drinks) were never empty - and she made sure we drank enough water, too. Speaking of our moms, she took extra care to make sure their needs were met all weekend, which was especially important. When all was said and done, we had numerous friends and relatives mention how personally helpful Meryl and Karina were to them. We really could not recommend them more. 10/10, five stars, no notes, just the best!

I love Brookelyn. I just love her. I will never forget the positive impact she made on our wedding process. 1. Brookelyn was thorough and professional. My mom was officiant, florist, and in charge of table decor day of. Our dads and brothers assisted with load in of bar supplies, our band was a collection of New Orleans musicians my husband is friends with, and our dog was a bridesmaid. Brookelyn took all of these unique details in stride and helped us think through the details of the timeline and scope of each job to ensure everything went as planned. Brookelyn was intentional and gracefully coordinated key details with all our vendors to ensure everything fell into place day of. She always had a great attitude about our ideas and helped us deliver the vision. I felt her support every step of the way. 2. Brookelyn kept a level head and made me feel like no matter what, everything was going to work out (and it did!!). It rained day of and we had to move our ceremony inside. Due to rain and a dog crisis, I was running about an hour behind schedule. Brookelyn kept us on track, never pressured me to hurry, and kept me in a bubble of bliss. Her attitude during the delay made me feel like I was actually ahead of schedule. Her forethought with the timeline helped the day run smoothly and we were back on track in no time. Despite the initial delay, she kept me from panicking, she supported me through the chaos, and she made sure we made up for the lost time. 3. I genuinely enjoyed every interaction with Brookelyn and missed her when our wedding was over. There were multiple points during the reception I noticed she was hanging out with my mom, my mother in law, and my cousin as if they were old friends. She fit in so perfectly. Gaby assisted with coordination day of the wedding and seamlessly knew what to do and where to be. Gaby was so kind and so helpful. Many of our family and friends went out of their way to tell us how great both Brookelyn and Gaby are. It’s impossible to think about our wedding without taking time to appreciate everything these ladies did for us. I will never forget the kindness and am forever grateful for you both!!

I highly recommend using Meryl. We used her as a month-of coordinator, and she really helped pull together all of those last minute details. My dress broke 20 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle and she expertly sewed me up! The venue accidentally threw out our sparklers the night before the wedding, and she searched all over the city to make sure we had some for our exit. Very professional and friendly as well.

Torie was an absolute godsend. She was with us every single step of the way and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We're telling all of our engaged friends that a wedding coordinator is a non-negotiable. Especially if they can get Uncommon Camellia. My wife and I agree that this was the best bang for our buck out of our entire wedding weekend. 10/10 would recommend!

Torie and Mary Grace were excellent and attentive to every detail! I was truly able to enjoy the whole day without worrying about wedding details. The consults, the schedule, and the communication were top notch and would recommend Uncommon Camellia to any bride! Everything went Perfect and I am so glad I decided to invest in this company!

We were so fortunate to have Lizzie as our day-of wedding coordinator. She was absolutely incredible and played a huge role in making our wedding day go off without a hitch. From the very beginning, she was organized, professional, and had a calming presence that eased any anxieties we had. One of the things that stood out most about Lizzie was how thoughtful and caring she was throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to help with every little detail, and even took care of all of my last-minute worries, making sure everything was handled so I could enjoy the day. Her attention to detail was unmatched, and I always felt supported by her. For example, when our welcome sign arrived too late in the mail, Lizzie quickly took charge and had it printed in time for the wedding. She also worked with the venue to get the linens changed when they were the wrong color—taking one less thing off our plate. And, with our large bridal party, Lizzie was able to keep everything contained and organized, which helped the day run smoothly. On the day of the wedding, Lizzie was joined by Meryl, and they both worked seamlessly together. Meryl was equally fantastic, providing the same level of care and attention to detail. It was clear that they both genuinely cared about making our day special and stress-free. Thanks to Lizzie and Meryl—we were able to fully enjoy the celebration without worrying about anything behind the scenes. I can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for someone to manage your wedding day logistics. It was by far the best investment we made. They made everything run smoothly and ensured that we could focus on what mattered most—celebrating with our loved ones.

As a very hands-on two-time FOB, I can't tell you how unbelievably amazing it was to work with Maria Gomila as our lead wedding coordinator at UC. She is truly a rara avis. From our first video interview, I knew that she was going to be a perfect fit. What I didn't know then is that we would forge such a close bond of friendship. Throughout the process, Maria was such a pleasure to work with. Her vast knowledge and past experience planning weddings in New Orleans, combined with her intimate familiarity with our particular venue, were invaluable. Through key referrals, she helped us assemble a "dream team" of other wedding vendors (both major and minor) that worked together cohesively and inspired the confidence of our family. Most importantly, they flawlessly delivered a magical evening that our daughter and new son-in-law will never forget, nor will anyone else who attended. Always a text or a quick phone call away, Maria was extremely accessible on short notice to serve as a sounding board and advise on even the smallest of decisions. We came to trust her implicitly and she never let us down. Her attention to detail, chill demeanor, selfless service, and effortless planning acumen are unparalleled. Maria made what can often be a very stressful process a pleasurable and fun experience. We were both sad when it was over. Lol. For the day of the wedding, Maria enlisted the support of two of her UC colleagues, Lisa Long (as her assistant coordinator) and Jeny Himel (as our daughter's personal attendant). With past experience as UC lead coordinators themselves, Lisa and Jeny complemented Maria perfectly. They were incredibly helpful and hard-working and brought enormous value. Our daughter, my wife and all the bridesmaids were very complimentary of and grateful for the calming presence that Lisa and Jeny brought to their chaos of getting ready, assisting with hair & make-up and making sure that they were on-time and at the right place at the right time throughout the day and evening. As our Chief Orchestra Conductor, Maria was calmly but firmly in full command of all phases of the wedding weekend's festivities – from directing the ceremony rehearsal the night before to coordinating all of the “day-of” pre-ceremony activities to managing set-up and break-down of all of the other “day-of” wedding vendors to overseeing the ceremony, second line parade, interim cocktail hour, formal reception, sparkler exit and pedicab get-away! Under her watchful eye, everything went off without a hitch! To recap, I can’t say enough good things about, or give a higher recommendation of, Maria and everyone at UC. To any bride who wants her own “dream team,” you should definitely “say yes” to Maria Gomila and UC!

We cannot thank Natalie Atkinson, Brie, and Mary-Grace enough for making our wedding day absolutely flawless! From the very beginning, the team’s professionalism and attention to detail put us at ease, and they truly went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. Natalie was an incredible day-of coordinator. Her calm demeanor and expert organization made everything run like clockwork. She anticipated every need, communicated perfectly with all the vendors, and kept us on schedule without ever feeling rushed. It felt like she was always one step ahead, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Brie brought so much positive energy and thoughtfulness. She helped execute our vision beautifully and ensured every detail was exactly how we imagined it and made sure we had everything we needed. Mary-Grace was a joy to have around, offering her support and guidance throughout the day. She kept everything flowing smoothly and made sure we felt completely taken care of. Her warm personality and professionalism made her such a valuable part of the team. Together, these three made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. They were organized, compassionate, and truly cared about our happiness. We had the most magical day, and we know that it was all thanks to their hard work and dedication. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for the best in wedding coordination! Thank you, Natalie, Brie, and Mary-Grace – you made our dream wedding a reality!

I cannot begin to say what a blessing it was to have Uncommon Camellia for our day-of-coordination! Meryl and Britney were professional, personable, and went above and beyond for myself and all of our guests. They made everything smooth and seamless, taking all of our hiccups the day of and handling them to where I didn't even know they were happening. Working with Meryl leading up to the event was exactly what I needed. She was a wonderful sounding board and took the reigns toward the end and truly let me enjoy the last few weeks of being a fiance. Not only are they great at their job but they make you feel so comfortable along the way. I HIGHLY recommend reaching out for all of your needs, they were worth it and more! Truly an amazing team.

Following picking the right person to marry, the best thing you can do is to hire Uncommon Camellia! I'm taking Meryl and putting her on the pedestal where she belongs. Meryl listened to everything and converted what she heard and observed to personalize my daughter's wedding. I'm a small business owner and have held over 3000 events and know the skill and systems it takes to create a perfect event. I'm telling you that the Meryl/Uncommon Camellia team is a well-oiled customer-focused machine! The bride, groom and both families only felt the perfect alignment of all wedding planning planets, while Meryl and Britney worked magic like Santa's elves on Christmas Eve. The value of Meryl's time management, attention to detail and eye for personalization is something every bride should be blessed to have. Unbelievable! If you're thinking about a wedding planner or coordinator, I highly recommend you watch Uncommon Camellia's videos on YouTube. That's where I started as MOB and never looked back. Another invaluable blessing was Meryl's, Britney's and Uncommon Camellia's understanding of the New Orleans culture, food, out-of-towner expectations and navigation of vendors. New Orleans is a unique city and having someone who understands it is a must! Meryl had control of the day - she was firm yet polite; was in charge, yet never bossy; and was in constant motion yet with an ease and confidence all brides want. Our daughter began to enjoy her wedding season, the day Meryl said, "give it to me." All emails and vendor contact are on my plate now. It was like a switch that every bride should experience. And every business owner should have a Meryl. She is Uncommon Camellia's brand and the second best decision our daughter made.

Meryl and Brittany were incredible! These ladies are effortless problem solvers. All of the days hiccups, big and small, were handled so quickly and efficiently I didn’t even realize they’d happened. From stitching up a hole in my wedding veil to leading our second line of almost 300 people, Meryl was on top of it! They also kept our huge wedding party on schedule and in the best spirits. I can’t say enough good things about them. Professional, fun, hardworking, and such a calming presence to have around on your wedding day. Meryl took all of our disorganized ideas and turned them into a truly beautiful day that we’ll never forget!

I cannot explain how amazing working with Natalie at UC for my wedding was. I’m so grateful for her and her team for making sure every single detail was as I dreamed, not to mention the carefree experience wedding day. She offered a personal assistant to be at the location myself and bridal party got ready, and it was the best add on service ever! They are extremely professional and truly make your vision come to life so seamlessly. Thank you UC for your amazing coordination and team!

Brookelyn was absolutely amazing. I’m so glad I made the decision to reach out. She was incredibly professional and helped me every step of the way. I felt very taken care of as soon as I hired her. Lizzie was also amazing on wedding day. I highly recommend this vendor and Brookelyn.

Above and beyond in every category! Jeny was an absolute blessing to work with. Our original venue cancelled on us a month away from our wedding date, and Jeny handled the whole crazy situation like a zen monk. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her help with their big day!

Laura and Karen were the most amazing day-of coordinators I could think to hire. From day 1 Laura took control and made sure everything was scheduled and taken care of. Laura was on top of everything and she was a total sweetheart when needed and a badass when it mattered. Laura was our main point woman and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She kept all the groomsmen in check, made sure everything went according to schedule (even when there were scheduling issues) and made sure I had the perfect wedding day. Karen was so sweet and helpful and was so nice in helping Laura. 11/10 Love love these girls and would hire them again for any event.

Meryl was a dream to work with and the best investment we made for our wedding! She handled all communication with our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She and her team (Kelsey and Ashley) ran the wedding day flawlessly. I was able to enjoy the day stress free knowing I was in great hands. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any couples looking for a coordinator. Thank you, Meryl!

Natalie was organized, professional, and had every aspect of the day fully under control. As a Bride I did not have to worry about flowers or setup, she had everything taken care of. I would definitely recommend Uncommon Camellia especially Natalie and her team: Twana, Karen, and Britney.

The Uncommon Camellia team made our wedding planning process an absolute dream. Meryl was so amazing in ensuring I had everything I needed as an out-of-town bride. All my vendors felt in such good hands with hr and her team. We wouldn't have been able to do it without them. Thank you so much.

Maria, Brianne, and Torie were amazing. They handled everything for us so that we could enjoy the weekend. I can't say enough great things about them! I am the MOB and will use them again when my younger daughter gets married. Maria was an absolute pleasure to work with and I enjoyed every minute. Do not hesitate - book this company and ask for Maria!! She is amazing.

We worked with Laura (assisted by Veda) for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Laura was organized, gave us great advice and recommendations, and made sure our wedding day went smoothly. It was such a relief that we didn't have to worry about any of those little things that could go wrong with the wedding because we knew Laura was there to handle anything that came up! Laura kept us on schedule, made sure we had time to actually eat our wedding food, and communicated with all of our vendors so all we had to do the day of was enjoy ourselves. It felt like she went above and beyond to make our lives easier and our day more special. We really can't express enough gratitude to Laura and Veda. We are so happy we chose Uncommon Camellia to help with our big day!

Mary Grace was a saving grace for our wedding. She brought up so many things I hadn’t thought of during our meetings. The timeline she created was fantastic and having her around to stick to the schedule was so helpful. Not having to think or stress during one of the most important days of your life is worth every penny.

My wife and I cannot recommend Uncommon Camelia enough! From our first meeting to the final moments of our big day, our coordinator Briana was absolutely fantastic. Her attention to detail, creativity, and calm demeanor made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. She effortlessly coordinated everything, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was perfect.

We cannot recommend Natalie and Krystle enough! From start to finish, they made the entire wedding planning process feel effortless. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized them was truly remarkable. They listened carefully to our vision and brought it to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have had the day we had without Natalie and Krystle. Together, they were an unstoppable team, balancing everything with ease. On the day of the wedding, Natalie and Krystle were absolute lifesavers. Every little detail was flawlessly executed, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. We’re still talking about it weeks later! If you’re looking for wedding coordinators who will make your dream day a reality while making the entire journey a breeze, look no further than Natalie and Krystle! I am so thankful for them!!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lizzie and Lizzie for my wedding. She made the day go by without a hitch and I could not be more thankful. From last minute changes, to wrangling and communicating with the wedding party so that there was no confusion day of, to the smallest detail, she handled it all with professionalism and grace! My wedding day would not have been as seamless without her and I am forever grateful and will always recommend Uncommon Camellia and their services.

Having Uncommon Camellia coordinate my daughter's wedding was the best decision we made. They took care of EVERYTHING! It allowed me to enjoy the time leading up to the wedding and the day of we did not worry about a thing. It made for no stress and all fun.

I worked with Natalie at Uncommon Camellia and I cannot speak highly enough about my experience! She was very organized and professional, offering a very detailed timeline with thorough collaboration with my vendors. She also matched my energy well. I had a literal hurricane the week of our wedding, and we did not have power at our venue up until the evening before our big day. Natalie worked hard with vendors to come up with a moments notice plan B, plan C, and even plan D. I don’t know what I would have done without her working behind the scenes! Thankfully we did get power back after all. I had the 6-week out package, and once she came on board, I understood why folks choose to have a planner from the start! If you’re on the fence about a wedding coordinator, I recommend going for it. It is worth every penny having someone there to problem solve and ask the right questions!

We used Uncommon Camellia for our month of coordination and it was the best decision we made for our wedding! We were on the fence about needing a wedding planner but I couldn’t not imagine the day without them!! Mary Grace was amazing!! There wasn’t anything she couldn’t make happen! She was always one step ahead! Her assistant Nicole set up our venue beautifully! They allowed my mom and I to be able to be in the moment and enjoy everything! We could not recommend them enough!

Maria was outstanding and worth every cent plus more. She thinks of things you wouldn’t even imagine of preparing for and executes to perfection. Such a joy to work with and made my wedding go through without a hitch!

We hired Nicole to be our day of coordinator, but she started six weeks in advance of the wedding day and did an incredible job. She created a timeline and coordinated it with all our vendors, allowing us to have a few stress-free weeks before the wedding. We never realized how much work coordinating a wedding is, but Nicole made the whole day go by seamlessly. If there was a problem with our vendors on our wedding day, we still have no idea because Nicole handled everything! People said it was one of the most well organized weddings they had ever been to. She even thought of things we forgot and discussed ideas with vendors to make the wedding even more perfect. She worked nonstop the whole night, and guests told us that she was still working nonstop after we left at the end of the night. We would highly recommend Uncommon Camellia, and if you can, you should work with Nicole! She is absolutely amazing!

Cannot recommend UC enough! Maria was an absolute joy to work with as our day of coordinator. The stress of planning melted away from the second we first started talking and I felt like I was talking to a best friend. Do not hesitate to hire her! Amber and Veda were also incredible the day of and helped with everything from steaming our dresses to making sure decor was set out. Our night was perfect because of their help. Just overall the sweetest and most helpful group. Would choose them over and over again!

Working with Lizzie Frederick was amazing from start to finish. We really appreciated and used her recommendations since we live out of town. She was so organized and helpful guiding us through the process and keeping us on track. The coordinator, Alexis, that assisted morning of was extremely helpful keeping everyone on schedule, making sure everything was prepped and ready to go. Lizzie O assisted with Lizzie Frederick for our wedding, and they truly made it a stress-free evening. I could not be happier with Uncommon Cameilla and their team.

If there is one thing I would recommend to any bride, it’s this! My husband & I wanted our day to be special and one that we were able to soak up the moments without the stress of making sure things were going smoothly. We reached out to Uncommon Camelia and it was the best decision I made. Meryl & Meredith went above and beyond to ensure everything went as we’d hoped. There was so much that they handled that I would never even considered. Meryl also calmed my anxious moments and was the voice of reason for all the unnecessary worries. She was the best! If I went back in time to do it all over I would book with Uncommon Camelia again 100% of the time!

Maria and her team were incredible! She planned every minute of our wedding day and made great recommendations during the planning process. I literally could not imagine how the day would have gone without her!

What an absolute joy it has been to work with Twana, Meredith, and Uncommon Camellia! We eagerly recommend any couple to work with Uncommon Camellia for their wedding. We began coordinating with Twana, our lead coordinator, a couple of months ahead of the Big Day. We arranged for her to be our 6-week out coordinator, and Twana was available for our questions and idea sound-boarding throughout the months leading up to the wedding. She gave excellent guidance on our wedding day schedule, suggestions of vendors, selections for our menu and layout of the reception and ceremony space, and answers to a countless number of questions we had. Twana's coordination magic really came into play when she acted as the main point of contact for all our vendors, arranged their timing, and kept all the components moving smoothly for both the rehearsal, the ceremony and the reception. Her trifold schedule was such a god-send! Twana laid out a well-organized schedule with the ability to adapt to slight changes on the day. She even demonstrated her magical weather control powers by ensuring we didn't have a drop of rain during the events of the day. We are truly grateful to Twana, our assistant coordinator Meredith, and Uncommon Camellia for making our Big Day in the Big Easy the experience of a lifetime!

Natalie Atkinson was my lead coordinator for my Baton Rouge wedding at Capitol Park Museum on May 4th and she was absolutely phenomenal, from start to finish. A day-of coordinator typically gets in contact with you about 6 weeks prior to your wedding date, but from the moment I booked Natalie (over a year out) she was always available for questions and willing to help me, despite her busy schedule. Once my big day was approaching, she continuously put my mind at ease and was on top of everything from reaching out to all of my vendors to organizing the weekend schedule. I was getting complimented the whole weekend that I was such a "chill bride" and that is because I had Uncommon Camellia doing all of the work for me. On the day of my wedding, Natalie brought along Karmen as her assistant coordinator who was equally as wonderful. They worked as a team to pull off one of the most fun weddings that my guests said they had ever been to. After the wedding, Natalie and Karmen dropped off everything at my hotel room along with food and cake for us to snack on and even a gift for us! I cannot recommend Natalie and Karmen enough! Uncommon Camellia is the best is the biz! I would do it all over again if I knew they would be there to run the show!

Rebekah Roger was our Uncommon Camellia wedding planner! She did a fabulous job, was very organized, kind, supportive, and very responsive. She coordinated meetings with all vendors prior to wedding day and orchestrated the perfect wedding day. I was able to enjoy the wedding and my family friends because of her. She even RAN (literally) after my husband and I to pass us drinks during the second line (which we were unable to grab before hand). She is a rockstar and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. HIGHLY recommend.

Twana was an absolute joy to work with throughout the planning process. She is knowledgeable, prompt, and quick to action. She was a huge part of bringing our dream to life on the wedding day. Twana provided a calm, steady, and reassuring demeanor the entire day. Thank you to Twana and Meryl for their diligent work!!
