I, myself, am a wedding professional in the New Orleans area and have worked on the vendor side with Uncommon Camellia time and time again. They have ALWAYS been professional, resp...
ectful, supportive and kind. It is clear they care deeply for their clients! When it came time to book a coordinator for my own wedding, the choice was a no-brainer. Mary Grace was a huge asset to our wedding vendor team. She brought joy to every conversation, jumped in to the mix of planning with ease and sorted out every last brain-breaking logistic we threw at her. I felt like she was a genuine advocate for and support system to the rest of our vendors (glam, photo, candles, etc) which gave me peace that they could each thrive as intended. Mary Grace's patience was tireless, her communication was fantastic and when we hit a bump with one of our vendors she worked behind the scenes to try to protect our wedding vision. She was joined by Sophie LaBella on wedding day and together the two created a smooth, easy evening- allowing us to be present and enjoy the little moments. I would recommend Uncommon over and over again! Your wedding is in safe hands with ANY of their team members.

d to any e-mail, text, or phone call we sent her way. We’re not typically “extra” people, but when it came to the details of this wedding, we absolutely were- and Natalie, Brie and Karen handled it flawlessly. I truly have no idea what I would have done on the wedding day without them. I am 100% certain I would have been miserable trying to manage everything on my own. The wedding day timeline Natalie created for us was so detailed it looked like a NYC subway map! Every detail was handle, every moment was perfectly orchestrated and this MOB got to have the time of her life at her only daughter’s wedding. To me, that experience was priceless. I would use them again and again.

iled, professional, and has vast knowledge in the New Orleans wedding industry. Lisa is kind, easy to work with, and helps take the wedding stress off of your plate. Every couple should have a Lead Coordinator, especially, Lisa Long, to ensure a seamless experience for the wedding party as well as guests. All of our guests RAVED at how smooth the wedding went, thanks to Lisa and the UC team!!
I also enjoyed working with Brianna as my Personal Attendant! She heled ease any last-minute stress, and took care of the final details, such as bringing the groom's gift, keeping everyone on schedule, steaming my wedding dress, etc.
I could not recommend Lisa or the UC team enough!!

Uncommon Camellia was by far the best resource we had for our wedding. Lisa and her team made sure we had every detail accounted for and everyone in our party was aware of timing, ...
responsibilities, and place with detailed itineraries and items we did not even think to have "on the ready" for our special day. Lisa was very easy to work with and understood our requests taking the time to meet with us on multiple occasions. There were never any worries with Lisa and her team at the wheel directing all facets of our wedding day. I highly recommend Lisa and her team for your wedding. Lisa knows Hollywood, and our day felt like a movie, because everything was on point and ready to roll as planned because of Lisa and her team!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Uncommon Camellia for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough! From the very first consultation, it was clear that Meryl and her ...
team were dedicated to making my vision a reality.
Meryl was an absolute joy to work with. She took the time to listen to every detail I wanted, ensuring that every aspect of the wedding reflected my style and personality. It was so comforting to know that I had someone so invested in my special day.
What truly set Meryl apart was the incredible relationship we built throughout the planning process. She became not only my coordinator but also a trusted confidante who provided invaluable support during a chaotic time. The level of professionalism she exhibited was exceptional, and her problem-solving skills were impressive. She was a lifesaver both before and during the wedding.
Thanks to Meryl and Uncommon Camellia, our wedding went off without a hitch! People can't stop talking about how amazing our wedding was. I’m genuinely grateful for her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who will listen, care, and execute your dreams flawlessly, look no further than Uncommon Camellia. Thank you, Meryl, for making our day unforgettable!

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to describing how incredible our day-of wedding coordinator, Nicole Smith, was. From the moment she arrived, it felt like this huge w...
eight I’d been carrying for months was just *lifted*. She didn’t just organize our day—she protected it, nurtured it, and made it everything I had dreamed it could be.
She went so far above and beyond that “coordinator” doesn’t even begin to describe what they were to us. She was a calming presence when my nerves were high, a problem-solver before problems even surfaced, and the person who made our entire day unfold like magic. I was actually able to be present, to breathe, and to enjoy every moment because I knew Nicole and her team had absolutely everything under control.
My family adored Nicole just as much as I did. I can’t count the number of times someone told me, “Thank goodness for her,” or “she’s incredible.” And she was truly incredible. Looking back, hiring her was without question the best money we spent on the entire wedding.
There is no way to put a price on peace of mind, on feeling cared for, and on having someone champion your vision with so much heart. If you’re wondering whether you need a day-of coordinator—yes. You do. And I sincerely hope you find someone as extraordinary as Nicole who made our day unforgettable.

Alexis anticipated needs before we even realized them, handled every detail seamlessly, and ensured that everything flowed beautifully from ceremony to reception.
Alexi's communication was clear, her problem solving was quick and graceful, and Diane and Krystine presence brought such peace of mind to both me and my husband Sam during the big day!. They even made sure my family who only spoke spanish felt heard and taken care of.
Their teamwork, kindness, and professionalism allowed us to be fully present on our wedding day. Samuel and I are grateful for their hard work and dedication.
Highly, highly recommend!

Brookelyn was truly outstanding. From the moment we began working with her, she brought a level of organization, calm, and genuine care that transformed our entire wedding experien...
ce. She took every overthinking moment in stride and made our day run smoothly, efficiently, and effortlessly. Her communication was clear, timely, and incredibly thorough — especially impressive considering our large wedding party. Everyone knew exactly where to be and when, which made the whole day feel stress-free.
Her timeline was the most organized I’ve ever seen, and she handled every detail with professionalism and a down-to-earth attitude that made us feel supported and understood. Britney was also amazing — attentive, helpful, and always right there when we needed her.
We felt completely taken care of and able to enjoy every moment because they had everything handled behind the scenes. We couldn’t recommend Brookelyn and Britney more highly. They are exceptional at what they do. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company, specifically Brookelyn, to any couple! I would also recommend the month-of wedding coordination package to fellow type B+ brides who want to be involved, but need help keeping everything organized and stress free.

As with any wedding, there were a few unexpected hiccups, but they were dealt with discreetly and without me knowing until afterwards thanks to Ashley. She even gave me and my husband a rosemary bush as a wedding gift afterwards. An angel!! My in-laws were so impressed that my sister in law is now hiring her for her upcoming wedding. 100/10

Huge shoutout to Brie Dey with Uncommon Camellia, the most amazing wedding coordinator for my daughter Kirstin’s October wedding in Covington!
From the moment I flew in from Calif...
ornia, Brie made life easy for all of us, especially for my daughter Kirstin and me (Mom). We’re a family of DIYers, and Brie did an exceptional job coordinating the family and friends who acted as vendors for the wedding. Brie went above and beyond as we ran around town, in between stormy weather, checking in and taking items off the family’s to-do list to allow everyone to be present throughout the day.
Even when the rain kissed the day, Brie brought calm to the chaos, handled every little detail, and truly felt like family. She and her wonderful assistant, Chevy Wright, were everywhere at once, patient with us as timelines and locations needed to be adjusted due to the afternoon showers, helping the ring bearer down the aisle at St. Peter’s, serving wedding cake, and grabbing little video moments from the reception.
She kept us smiling and everything on track—we honestly couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend Uncommon Camellia and Brie to any bride or mom who wants a day that feels effortless and full of joy.

On the wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about a thing, they handled every vendor, every timeline detail, and every unexpected moment with total professionalism. Because of them, I was able to enjoy the day completely
If you want coordinators who are talented, reliable, and genuinely care about their couples, Laura and Hawa are the best!

Working with Alexis, Britney and Karen for my daughter’s recent wedding was phenomenal! What a team! I highly recommend Uncommon Camellia as your wedding coordinator. I chose Day-...
of and added a personal assistant. This was, by far, the best money spent for the wedding and reception. Alexis started several weeks before the actual date, gathering info and contracts. The details they request are what makes this go so smooth on your day. Each lady knew exactly what was going on and anticipated questions, problems, and navigated through all the details my daughter gave them. There are always hiccups, but like I told them after, I never saw any. It was smooth, uninterrupted and things seemed to be perfect to us. We had several venues for getting ready, the actual wedding and then a reception. They floated among them seamlessly. The personal attention we received getting ready was so much needed and appreciated. All details were attended to. And at the end, every little item of ours was transported to our home and not a single thing was left behind. I would do this all over again with this amazing help. Thank you Uncommon Camellia for creating an atmosphere of calm and fun for the special day.

No problem unfixable or too big, she handled every set back with grace and made it look easy! Even after doing everything to set up, help run, and take down after my wedding, she hand delivered my husband and I’s bags to our hotel room after the wedding and set the room up so cute for us for when we got home from the after party. I could not be more grateful for everything she did for me. The absolute best money I spent for my wedding was to have her by my side!!

I have to saw I was nervous when my original lead coordinator had to step down due to a family emergency. But Nicole stepped in and took charge of all the details. Nothing was missed. The assistant coordinators were so awesome. If they say my drink was low they would take it out my hand and were ready with a new fresh one. Didn’t miss a beat. The ceremony was executed perfectly from the timing of the processional so the pictures after the first kiss.

Having Lisa Long, Laura Rogan , and Siobhan (Chevy) Wright, as our wedding coordinators was one of the best choices we made for our big day. From start to finish — rehearsal, the ...
wedding itself, and even the late-night pack-up — they were absolutely incredible.
They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. Their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and calm presence made such a difference. They handled every small task (even the ones we completely forgot about!) with care and made sure our families, wedding party, and vendors were all on the same page.
What stood out most was their kindness and professionalism. They made us feel supported every step of the way and created such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. I was originally unsure if we needed coordinators, but after experiencing how much they did for us, I can’t imagine our wedding without them.

She was mindful of our budget every step of the way, always giving us options and making sure we felt comfortable with each choice. Because we were planning from a distance and dealing with a time difference, Lizzie worked incredibly hard to keep communication smooth and to make the process stress-free for us. Her professionalism, kindness, and down-to-earth nature gave us complete peace of mind and made it a pleasure to work with her.
On the wedding day itself, Lizzie, along with Meryl, Nicole, Rachel, Lisa, and Kelly, made everything seamless. We didn’t lift a finger—they guided us through every moment, told us exactly where to be and when, and handled every detail with grace. If there were any hiccups, we never knew about them, because the team had everything under control.
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we know it would not have been possible without Lizzie and her incredible team. Hiring Uncommon Camellia was worth every penny and hands down the best money you can spend on your wedding. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I chose Uncommon Camellia for my wedding coordination needs! I chose the day of and about 3 months prior to the coordination package. I also add a day of assistant, which I highly ...
recommend doing. It took away the stress of myself as the bride or having anyone else in the wedding party delegate tasks, keep up with the other involved vendors (photo, hair, MU) and stay on schedule.
I was connected with Natalie Atkinson who was absolutely amazing from the moment we met. She was friendly, personable and knowledgeable. She followed up regularly and contacted my other vendors with professionalism. On our wedding day, I felt no stress about anything because I had complete trust in her ability to get things done. If anything went unplanned, I was unaware because she had it under control. Everything was planned to a tea but without the stress of it feeling like a scheduled thing. I would highly recommend her services.

If I could hire Uncommon Camelia a hundred times over, I would! From start to finish, they made the entire wedding planning process feel effortless. Brookelyn Gaudet was the first ...
person I’d call again—organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. Her team, Meryl and Hawa, were just as amazing—so kind, attentive, and on top of every detail.
They truly took care of everything, which meant we could actually relax and enjoy the day. Every little touch was perfect, and it all came together so beautifully. I loved working with them and can’t recommend Uncommon Camelia enough!

nt me a detailed timeline with every detail imagined and also gave me a list of vendors to keep all in the same space. Brittney was with her the day of and acted like she knew me for months, asking what she could do to make my experience perfect. The night went by seamlessly - I am so happy I chose Uncommon Camellia as my wedding coordinator! I have recommended them to all of my closest friends and I will not stop raving about this company!

wer any questions we had. They made sure everything was fine tuned and ready to go before our wedding weekend. I am so grateful for the attention to detail and the amount of work that went into communicating with all of our vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly. I did not have to lift a finger on wedding day, and that is because of Ashley and Krystle. 10,000/10 recommend!! Don't know how I would have done it without them!!

cie had frozen water bottles for us the night before. Lost earring backing? dress needs bustling? can’t find family during the exit? Kaycie was on it. But even better- leading up to the day Kaycie was just a call, text, or email away from answering any and all questions! She was so accomodating, so thoughtful, and put our wants and needs first in order to make sure the day was everything we dreamed of AND stress free. If you are wonderinf if you need a day-of coordinator, YOU DO. And Kaycie is your girl!

Lisa Mitchell (Bride's personal attendant), Loraine McNeece (assistant coordinator), and Lisa Long (lead coordinator) were first class and exceeded my expectations. All were incred...
ibly professional, had great dispositions (calm and not bossy--so appreciated) and were easy to communicate with. Lisa reviewed all contracts, contacted all vendors, provided a detailed timeline, and paid meticulous detail to everything. As a result of Lisa's organization and execution, my daughter and I were relieved of all stress and my daughter's vision for her wedding was fulfilled. The night of the rehearsal, under a tent and a torrential rainstorm, Lisa directed us and was calm, with the assurance that the forecast for the next day was good. She was spot on--blue skies, ceremony under the oaks and even a breeze--everything was beautiful and as planned. The cocktail hour and reception ran like clock worth, despite a power outage, and by all accounts our guests had a wonderful time. Thank you, Lisa! Would highly recommend. Ginger
They did an amazing job coordinating my daughter's wedding

We cannot speak highly enough of Lisa Long at Uncommon Camellia and her assistant coordinator Phoebe Coughlin!! We booked day-of coordination services and from our first meeting wi...
th Lisa we knew we were in good hands. Not only does she have a wonderful personality that makes you feel right at home, but she is also a total wizard in the wedding biz!
When we hit the 6 week mark my now husband and I were definitely feeling the pressure of getting all the final details taken care of. Lisa stepped in, took on everything, and told us to stop any communication outside of her direction (a challenging task when you have been handling everything for 2 years!) Her communication with vendors, the detailed timeline, and everything else in between was truly amazing. We both were finally able to focus on each other and less on the planning!
During our rehearsal, our bridal party complimented how impressed they were with her, her attention to every detail, and customized timelines for everyone! On the day of the wedding, I felt like I did not have a care in the world outside of focusing on me, my bridesmaids, and soaking in every moment because Lisa and Phoebe were on the job. We also had to make a tough decision on the day of our wedding because there was rain in the forecast but we decided not to tent the venue. We had hoped the rain would hold off, but being New Orleans, we ended up with a little downpour for about an hour of the reception. Lisa and Phoebe got right to work passing out ponchos and umbrellas to all of our guests which kept the dancefloor going!
Our drinks were never empty, any request we had was met, and by the end of all of this, we feel like we are walking away with a new friend. Lisa feels like someone you have known your whole life and if you are lucky enough to have her as your coordinator, know that you will have the best wedding day ever! Thank you Lisa and Phoebe for everything!! <3 Andy & Emily

ce. Everything was stunning and well executed. She worked with us to make some of our ideas better, got us great vendor recs, and managed a lot of family personalities the day of the wedding (and my stress level). We planned our wedding in 4 months which was a whirlwind and very stressful. The best moment was the 6 weeks out when Ashley got involved and when the day arrived it was just perfect. Thank you SO SO much!
