10 out of 5 stars for Unique Weddings!!!!! We booked with them at the very beginning of our wedding planning journey after interviewing a few wedding planners. We instantly knew Em...
ily and Brittani were the ones! We worked with both of them throughout the process, and Brittani was absolutely amazing as she attended the food tasting with us and helped us every step of the way. She communicated very well throughout the year long process, gave recommendations, and helped guide us when we didn't know which way to go. We met with her a few days before the wedding and went through every detail, and she took it from there! On the day of, my groom and I did not have to do any work and we just got to enjoy everything! She made a detailed schedule for us, but we didn't feel rushed at all. She made it fun and relaxed while ensuring us that everything was handled. Amy and Mandy also helped us on the day of. They both made the day seemless. Amy was with me all day and was absolutely AMAZING and made sure I had everything I needed. They brought everything back up to our room at the end of the night and SERIOUSLY went above and beyond to make us feel special on our big day. HIGHLY recommend this team!!!!
I'm going to admit it; I was against the idea of hiring a coordinator! I'm a type A person; I've planned events before I'll be fine! However, after looking at the details, my now h...
usband and I decided a coordinator was a must have for our destination wedding in NOLA. After interviewing three different planners I knew without question that Emily was it. She was confident, capable, had experienced it all and was still excited about weddings. She gave me personal references for makeup and hair artists, was always available when we had random questions and was so on top of things. Before we could think of even asking the question she was providing us with the answers. On the day of, I didn't have to think about anything because it was already handled. I didn't even find out until days afterwards that our venue had communication, event setup and building issues. To me, the day went flawlessly. If I didn't have Emily, I would have ended up being distracted by the problems that needed to be fixed instead of enjoying one of the best days of my life. Special shout out to Amy, she was my bridal attendant all day. I was never without a drink, and she was always checking in to see if I needed to eat or sit for a minute. She carried my cell phone for me and provided me with great suggestions for posing during photos. I loved working with them and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator in New Orleans.
Brittani was fantastic! She took so much pressure off my shoulders. She was very observant of my facial expressions when discussing florals, and advocated for me when I wasn’t bold...
enough to speak up about what I wanted. She reassured me consistently that everything was going to work out. She made our wedding planning process go so smoothly, and day of she was on TOP of everything. She is extremely efficient and reliable, and she helped make our wedding absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much!
Amazing attention to every detail!!! Everyone went out of their way to provide an unforgettable experience!!! I would highly recommend them!!! Michele and her staff were fabulous!!...
!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot recommend Unique Weddings enough! Brittani was so amazing to work with. She helped relieve so much stress not only on the day of our wedding but also throughout the entire...
planning process.
She had so many great vendor recommendations and helped handle all the logistics of coordinating timelines with the vendors so it was one less thing we had to take care of. She was on top of everything day of and I never had to question or worry about anything. She truly went above and beyond. She even went out and got me superglue when my earring broke right before our first look!
Her and her team were so helpful making sure our wedding party of 18 people was in the right place at the right time. They kept us on track with our timeline without making things feel forced - they let us enjoy every moment of our special day. Thank you Brittani and the whole Unique Weddings team!
Brittani and her team took what is very easily a complicated, stressful, even dramatic experience and ensured we took away only beautiful memories. We hired them for "Week Of" plan...
ning/coordination, and they helped out well-before week-of to ensure we had thought through the details to ensure a seamless experience for us and our guests from hotel blocks, wedding party transportation to vendor recommendations based on our needs. She was accommodating, responsive, calm, organized and prepared. It's very evident that this family business has a lot of experience, genuinely cares for their clients, and is a beloved, respected partner by other vendors. Day of, she kept us to a schedule without taking away from the moment, and we experienced what royalty must feel like everyday by having such an attentive team. She helped us with special touches like surprising in-laws with chocolate mousse emblematic of the mousse they were too busy to enjoy at their wedding and helping our GF guests get their GF cupcakes. When unexpected things came up, as they always do, we had no idea because Brittani already had it handled. One particular moment where Brittani made a huge difference was when my Dad had to leave our reception almost immediately due to medical issues. Brittani could tell how heartbroken I was and took control of the situation by talking with my Dad, getting the band to play our song unannounced, bringing the photographer over and giving us a brief moment to make that memory by dancing together in a private corner away from other guests. My Dad has a degenerative, terminal illness, and I can never thank her enough for knowing what to do in that emotional, difficult moment and turning it into a precious memory for us. Do yourself a favor and hire Unique Weddings NOLA and leave all the stress to the true experts so you too can simply enjoy your wedding.
I can't recommend Brittani enough! She knows what she's doing and knows all the best vendors in town. Brittani is so efficient and compassionate with everything she does. My weddin...
g was an absolute dream and there's no way I could have done it without her. Her team was fantastic and treated me like a princess on my wedding day. If you've stumbled on her website look no further! She is where it's at!
Planning our wedding remotely, the #1 best decision we made was hiring Unique Weddings.
Brittani knows the best vendors to use, she’s quick yet thorough, and like the back of her ...
hand she knows what planning decisions need to be made and when. Brittani’s ability to handle multiple clients seamlessly, her confidence and reassurance, and the care she showed us made planning a destination wedding actually enjoyable!
Day of, while Brittani was coordinating details at venues, Michelle arrived at the bridesmaid’s Airbnb to usher the girls to the right location. I won’t forget the direction and comfort she gave when the bridesmaids had left and I was incredibly nervous leading up to the first look.
There are countless small gestures that we are thankful for. We had a bridal party of 18 and Unique was able to confidently direct the chaos. They magically shifted our belongings (cards, guestbook, vow books, etc.) from the ceremony to the reception and back to our Airbnb without any interruption. They helped me scrape gum off my shoes before the first dance, so it didn’t get caught on the back of my dress. Brittani literally stood in front of a pothole during the parade to direct the guests from not tripping.
We are so incredibly grateful for Unique Weddings. Thank you Brittani & Michelle for being the glue behind the scenes that made our day possible!
Dear Michele,
I hope this message finds you well. I meant to write sooner but we got back late Tuesday night and I've just been trying to catch up on all the work I've missed. As...
the excitement of our wedding day settles in, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to you and your incredible team for making our dream wedding in New Orleans a reality.
From the very beginning, working with you has been an absolute pleasure. Your attention to detail, creativity, and unwavering dedication turned our vision into something beyond our wildest dreams. Your ability to navigate the intricacies of wedding planning with grace and precision did not go unnoticed, and I am truly grateful for your expertise.
Your entire team was nothing short of amazing. Each member played a crucial role in ensuring that every aspect of our special day was flawless. Their professionalism, warmth, and tireless efforts did not go unnoticed. We felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process, and it made our wedding experience all the more memorable.
The venue was stunning, the decorations were breathtaking, and the coordination on the day-of was seamless. Your team's commitment to excellence was evident in every detail, and I am incredibly thankful for the passion and dedication you all brought to our celebration.
Thank you, Michele, for being not just a wedding planner, but a true partner in bringing our vision to life. Your calm demeanor, creativity, and organizational skills turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joyous journey.
Please extend my gratitude to each member of your team. Their hard work and positivity made our wedding day truly special, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
I cannot believe it is already over but I will never forget the memories of our wedding and I owe it all to you. I got your email to write a review and I promise I'll have that completed in the next week. Thank you again for everything. You're the best and I'll miss working with you.
With Heartfelt Thanks,
The Clarks
Michele was the absolute best. She is incredibly organized and has amazing ideas. She communicates well and stays on top of all details. Michele has an amazing team for the day of...
the event. I am so sorry we did not use Michele when our older daughter got married.
I don't know how I got so lucky to find Brittany and Michelle on the first try, but OMG Brittany was a godsend. She kept everything organized, made sure we had everything done in t...
ime, showed us what we wanted and honestly made a lot of the decision on vendors which was a godsend to me. She essentially picked all of her favorites which meant they all loved working for her and us, and the wedding was so perfect. I'd recommend Brittany to anyone in town or out of town as we're from Seattle, and she made sure we felt taken care of from afar. Her and her team were incredible!
I just got married last weekend and had the pleasure of working with Brittani while planning my wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her team. We hired her a...
few weeks after we got engaged, and she made the whole process so seamless. I remember asking her several times through the process why I wasn’t stressed out because all I ever heard was how stressful planning a wedding was. Brittani was incredibly well organized and present. She met with me every other week while in the planning process and that helped me stay on track and kept things running smoothly. Her list of preferred vendors was awesome as well!
The days of our rehearsal and wedding day were perfectly smooth and enjoyable because Brittani was so on top of everything. She made sure every vision or idea I had became a reality and went off without a hitch. She was also my ultimate hype woman on the day of my wedding!
I could go on forever about how much of a pleasure working with Brittani and her team was. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone planning a wedding in New Orleans.
Brittani was an incredible planner for our wedding - would highly recommend her. She kept us on track with everything we needed to get done throughout the entire process and provid...
ed excellent recommendations for vendors. She seems to know everyone in New Orleans who has anything to do with weddings, not surprising given how long she and Michele have been doing this!
We had to deal with a venue change due to damage from Hurricane Ida just four weeks before our wedding and she was able to find us four incredible new options on short notice. She made the shift to the new venue seamless and kept all the vendors updated on the changes.
On the day of our wedding, she and her awesome team made sure that we had everything we needed and that things went off without a hitch. It was so reassuring to know that she was taking care of anything that needed to be taken care of. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because of it.
We loved working with Brittani and would highly recommend her!
WOW! Brittani and her mom are the best wedding planners in the game. I cannot recommend them enough! I got married a few weeks ago and they did our rehearsal dinner and wedding. We...
hired them for "month of" but they truly went above and behind throughout the planning process and were always available when we needed them. Whether it be recommending a vendor or helping get the cost down, Brittani always knew what to do. Between last minute adjustments due to weather concerns or changes because of Covid, I knew I was in good hands with Unique Weddings. Brittani would offer her opinion but always left the final decision to me and wanted us to be happy, which I appreciated. The day of the wedding can be chaotic and nerve racking with so many people around. There were times where I needed a minute while getting ready or right before the ceremony. Brittani calmly brought me to a room with my fiancé so we could have a minute alone. She always knew what we needed! Sometimes before we even knew we needed it ourselves! Needless to say, Unique Weddings is amazing and our special weekend was everything we dreamed of and more.
If you want wedding planning to be non stressful, look no further. Michele and Brittani were absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, with a list of recommended vendors, all wer...
e wonderful. They had everything covered that I actually went out of town the weekend before the wedding. They contacted the vendors on when to come and where to park. At the rehearsal, we were given a cheat sheet. It told us when hair and makeup would start, what time to get dressed, how long to take pictures, and when to walk to the church. It was very helpful to keep us on track and know exactly how the day was going to go. And after the reception, they took care of everything. From packing up the cake knife and top of cake, to picking up the bridal portrait and guest book. I just had to walk out. Unique Wedding was the best decision I made!!
Cannot recommend enough!! Michele went above and beyond for my wedding to make it happen during the craziest of circumstances. All along she kept me feeling calm and she had it all...
under control. My wedding was absolutely perfect and she managed to make everything happen even during Covid. Cannot thank her enough for her hard work and commitment. My wedding would not have happened and been what we wanted without her! Brittani and Michele are the absolute best!
My daughters wedding was a Covid postponement. We did not know what to expect. We set another date and then had to switch to Friday instead of Saturday to meet the church’s Covid r...
ules. And we had to move the wedding from NOLA to St Francisville. Brittani took care of checking with all vendors to move everything out of town. It was amazing. Brittani and Michelle thought of everything so the whole day was perfect. And their candle and lighting decor was beautiful. Turned our home into a magical wedding venue. Having to cut the guest list from 250 to 50 due to Covid19 was disheartening but in the end it was a very special day for all of us!!! Thank you!!
Brittani and Unique Weddings of New Orleans made my wedding better than I could have every dreamed and our guests can’t stop talking about it. I don’t live in New Orleans although ...
its one of my favorite places so having Brittani on my side and taking care of every little thing was the best decision I made for my wedding day. She had everything covered start to finish. She helped me find just the right vendors and I can’t tell you how magical it was. What I loved the most is that she understands every bride and WHY they are unique and doesn’t cookie cutter each wedding. I’m very non-traditional and I wanted a smaller wedding with everyone at one communal table like an Italian family dinner. Seriously it was the most beautiful evening. With candelabras and chandeliers and a fireplace lit up with candles. It really is all the little details she is a master in that make a wedding go from ho-hum to MAGIC. Things like a handmaid arch for the vows, a dog sitter so my dogs could be in the ceremony and a second line band that showed up playing “all you need is love” by the Beatles. She really blew me away and our guests that all traveled in…some as far as from England were so impressed they still bring it up and say they’ve never been to a wedding so amazing.
Brittani was my wedding planner and the event was better than I could have ever dreamed it. I was extremely intimidated by the entire wedding planning process, and Brittani was in...
credibly accommodating and comforting during this process. She adjusted to my schedule and truly helped me navigate this process. I was inspired by a few images and ideas, and Brittani helped me transform that into the most magical evening. She thought of everything and every back up plan. I wanted a wedding unlike any other I had ever been to and she ABSOLUTELY delivered on this!!! My husband, guests, family and I were so impressed by the event. Brittani was very transparent about costs and cost of vendors. She really did everything she could to pick the right vendors for me and my needs as well as simplify the choices. I am so grateful Brittani was by my side planning this wedding.
Brittani and Michele are an amazing planning team! I am so happy that I chose them and have had the absolute best experience! I highly recommend them to any bride getting married! ...
Being a bride that has had to postpone my wedding twice is a difficult challenge, and they have been nothing but professional and calm through the whole process. The quick responses and help I have received has made me so grateful to have them as my planners!!! They have so much experience and know exactly what steps to take for everything that I come across! We cannot wait for our wedding to happen soon with them a part of it!!!
Michele and her team at Unique Weddings in New Orleans made my wedding day even better than I could even have imagined. When my now husband and I decided to get married in New Orle...
ans (we live in Los Angeles) I knew I had to find a wedding planner to help me. Michele was extremely helpful, straight forward, and informative from our first phone call. I relied on her expertise for everything from picking the ceremony venue to the florist to my makeup artist. All of her vendors were top notch, in our budget, and delivered beyond my expectations.
Tears came to my eyes when I walked into the dining room at Muriel's and saw the amazing job she did along with our florist in decorating the room. It was beyond stunning.
We had three musical acts for our wedding: ceremony musicians, second line band, and reception band and each one made the night a spectacular party to be remembered. I have several family members who are in the restaurant business in New York and they told me it was the best wedding they had ever attended. A few of our guests even told us it was the best party they had ever been to!
The wedding day events ran incredibly smoothly. Michele and her team kept everything and everyone moving and on schedule while being incredibly kind and friendly.
Hiring Michele at Unique Weddings in New Orleans to be our wedding planner was one of the best decisions I have made, next to saying yes to my husband's proposal!
Not only were Michele and Brittany wonderful from the very start with showing us venues and offering advise and suggestions from the littlest things like suggesting Rescue flats fo...
r our guests to giving us the names of photographers and bands to consider, but they were beyond perfection the day of the wedding. The evening was like a fantasy. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and every detail was orchestrated flawlessly. We all got to totally enjoy the celebration. They afforded me a sense of peace knowing that the evening would be flawless. Most importantly, it was! Two months later I’m still getting compliments!
The best, most talented wedding planning company EVER! They were so much fun to work with, very responsive no matter what was going on, and incredibly calm and professional on my ...
special day. Highly recommend Michele Adams with Unique Weddings and her ENTIRE staff. Love!
Now that we are (finally) settling into normal MARRIED! life, we have the time to gather our thoughts and express how we felt about our epic wedding day. We have so many words to d...
escribe the gratitude we have for what Brittani and her team helped us to accomplish. We were truly blown away. From the moment that day started, until the moment it ended, they orchestrated the most organized, well thought out event I've ever been to. There was not a single moment that was awkward, boring, or basic. The entire event was show stopping and every single one of our guests could not stop raving about it. We know there were many ups and downs during the process and we want to thank Brittani for keeping it together, no matter how high the emotions ran. She is a true professional and clearly the best in the business.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the very bottom of our hearts.
We will never forget it!
It was well deserved when Unique Weddings was the most favored and recommended event planning team in NOLA by top sources.
My only regret is that we did not use their talented serv...
ices for the welcome party for the wedding weekend.
Brittani made herself available to us easily and regularly for months - even hours before giving birth!
Her advise was consistent ,thorough and delivered with confidence and respect .
Every vendor Brittani coordinated delivered to our daughters wedding with perfection.
On the wedding day, Brittani was a super star!
She was diligent ,had every base covered and timed with precision.
Our guests didn’t just rave about the wedding .Many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
Many accolades to Michele and Brittani’s professional skills.
They deserve their own second line parade.
I can’t even put into words how PHENOMENAL Michele & Johnny were to us throughout our whole wedding planning. They took all of my ideas that I had, and made my wedding a dream come...
true! Michele, I could never thank you enough for what you did for us! Saturday was literally the best day of my life and it was all because of you guys! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Brittani and Michele were absolutely necessary ingredients for our wedding day to be a smashing success. Their expense estimates and vendor recommendations were completely on poin...
t. The day of the wedding, they could not have done a better job making our design for the reception a reality. And with their collaboration, we were able to come up with some really unique details that made our wedding day especially memorable.
I used Brittani and team for my wedding in New Orleans in April 2019. I had a six month engagement and didn't know where to start and what to do first. Brittani swooped in and hand...
led everything.
On the day of the wedding she and her team took care of EVERYTHING! They made everything stress free and easy!
I can't say enough good things about Michelle at Unique Weddings! I have been a bridesmaid several times and have never seen a coordinator this organized. She and her team are dire...
ct, prompt, and always remain calm--even in a crisis. She scrubbed a red wine stain out of my dress and fought with our band when they refused to play for the amount of time we had paid in advance for. She was truly our guardian angel the whole weekend and made everything run so smoothly. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to use Unique Weddings!
Brittani is awesome. There are no other words. She’s an expert navigator of wedding planning, even with a busy bride, and has incredible New Orleans connections. Brittani expertly ...
executed and coordinated seamlessly with my maid of honor to make day of a huge success. I appreciated that I didn’t have to worry about anything on my special day. As someone who considers themselves very organized and well planned, I have to admit I couldn’t have done it without her.
Michele was amazing as our wedding planner. As a bride from New Orleans, but currently living out of town, she was indispensable in helping us select vendors (all of her recommenda...
tions were spot on), plan the wedding and was there to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Our wedding was perfect and I was completely relaxed and able to enjoy our wedding day. 10/10 stars and would recommend you working with Unique Weddings in New Orleans to plan your big day. You won't regret working with Michele and company!
Seriously cannot thank Brittani and Michele enough for planning such a beautiful wedding for my husband and I. We are currently located in Los Angeles, so finding a reliable weddi...
ng planner in New Orleans was very important to me. Brittani went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly and most importantly, that I remained stress free. She was very professional and timely. All of our vendors had nothing but positive things to say about her! She made sure that our vision became reality. Her input and knowledge about the wedding planning business is also a plus because she was able to work out deals and inform us on certain things that we really did not need.
We had a HUGE bridal party, 24 total, and she was able to manage them and create schedules for them for the wedding day that was extremely helpful! Thank you again Brittani and Michele, we are forever grateful!
There are many decisions one has to make when planning a wedding. Without a doubt, the best decision I made for my daughter’s wedding was to hire Unique Weddings. My original inte...
nt was to hire someone to coordinate and take care of everything on the day of the wedding because I wanted to fully enjoy my daughter’s wedding. I knew that I would end up focusing on all of the details instead of enjoying myself. Brittani was exactly what I needed and much, much more! Since I contracted with her in March for a December wedding, we met with her several times including meetings with the florist and the food tasting for the reception. On a weekly basis she answered phone calls, texts, and emails immediately. She always remains calm and is quick to make suggestions. She has a wealth of knowledge and was invaluable in recommending vendors, which saved us a lot of time and energy. We were very happy with the vendors she recommended. Brittani also has a warehouse with everything we needed for the decor, from pipe and drape to a huge selection of candles and lanterns. A month before the wedding, she contacted all of the vendors to coordinate times, deliveries, etc. A week before the wedding, she picked up everything we needed to bring for the wedding. She didn’t want us to have to worry about anything those last few days before the wedding. When I have parties, I always worry about every little detail to make sure my guests enjoy themselves and I find that I don’t enjoy myself as I should. However, by the time the wedding day arrived, I was surprised to find that I was so calm. It was because I had learned to trust that Brittani would take care of everything. She did just that, and everything flowed so smoothly from beginning to end that I felt like a guest. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my daughter’s wedding. Brittani and her assistants even attended to my husband and I throughout the reception which was something I hadn’t expected. At the end of the night, I picked up my purse and left with everyone else for an “after” party. When we arrived back at our hotel, everything from the wedding was neatly packed for us to take home. Working with Brittani is an absolute joy! She truly made my daughter’s wedding a fairytale come true!
My new husband and I worked with Michele Caswell-Adams of Unique Weddings in New Orleans for our New Orleans destination wedding.
As you can imagine, it was nerve wracking to not...
be physically present for all of the decisions that were needed to plan our wedding. We did actually have an onsite visit of the venues and meet with Michele and the local vendors involved with our event - one time. Michele did make this meeting happen as seamlessly as possible. However, it was just one face to face meeting.
Due to her obvious skill and extensive knowledge in regard to planning these events in addition to her making herself available for regular and comprehensive conference calls as our date approached, our nervousness about not being right in the middle of things was assuaged.
She walked us through all the facets of the wedding planning process - step by step.
BUT... when we were within a week or so of our date.... that is when I totally felt Michele's expertise in full force. She and her team where on top of EVERYTHING. We were in constant communication with Michele where she would give us all necessary information and updates. On the day of, nothing was left to chance. Michele and her team covered all bases. I personally experienced her A+ rating service when on the morning of my wedding, Michele came to my rescue way above and beyond. That very morning, I had just found out that a very personal item needed for the event that was supposed to have been shipped to the hotel where I was staying had instead been shipped to an incorrect New Orleans address. I was in a panic as I needed this item for the wedding. Calm as can be, Michele offered to make a special trip to recover this personal item and had one of her staff cover for her at the venue where the design plans were being implemented. Miracle of miracles, she found the package and was able to deliver it intact to me!! I was beyond grateful!
This is the type of attention we got from her whole team on our day. Michele and her team get without reservation a 5-star rating for their work in making our wedding the success that it was. I would give a higher rating if that was possible. Oh, and I should mention that she wonderfully executed of my ideas of the wedding decor/theme way above my expectations.
So many of my guests said to me that this was by far the best and most beautiful wedding they had ever attended.
That praise goes squarely to Michele Caswell-Adams!
Michele was extremely helpful and responsive. She provided valuable advice throughout the planning process. Her services the night of the wedding were priceless. We couldn't hav...
e done it with out her. She made sure everything ran smoothly. It was nice to know that all the details were taken care of without me having to worry about them.
Michelle and Brittani were a pleasure to work with! The decorations were beautiful, and most importantly, they stayed within our budget! We are so happy we chose to work with them!
We can honestly say that, without Brittani Adams-Perret and her outstanding team at Unique Weddings, our destination wedding in New Orleans would not have been close to as beautifu...
l, fun, organized, special or distinct as it was. In short, this team makes MAGIC, people! Brittani is the ultimate professional, providing guidance and advice from her deep level of experience in the industry and her lifelong familiarity with the local area. She brings calm and compassion to what could otherwise have been difficult to navigate situations (weather scares, last minute guest changes, family dynamics), essential for an out-of-town and sometimes anxious bride. She is supremely organized, timely and responsive, taking advantage of technology and her own flexibility to ensure communication is as convenient as possible. She is also an outstanding creative, designing layout, logistics and decor solutions to fit and exceed whatever initial vision you might have had. Most importantly, we felt cared for, listened to and prioritized as a couple, from our first conversation with Brittani through the end of our wedding night, despite the thousands of details she and her team were handling in the background simultaneously. Our wedding in the French Quarter was filled with love, live music, food, parading, dancing and laughter with a decidedly New Orleans spirit and flair and our guests continue to ask when we’ll get married again! So much of that is due to Brittani and the Unique Weddings team, who are pros at making events like our wedding unforgettable.
Unique Weddings in New Orleans could not have done a better job on my wedding !!!
They were contracted to do our decorations as well as the small level planning/wedding day coordi...
nator package. They were well worth the money !
I was beyond impressed at their attention to detail as well as how hands on Brittani was. I was an extremely hands on Bride that needed to know and plan everything and Brittani was patient with me she answered every question promptly. It’s like she could read my mind. I had very specific details to how I wanted things – such as my groomsmen having NOTHING in their suit pockets when they walked down the isle. Brittani stood at the door of their party bus with a bag and made sure they emptied their pockets – while I know to most people that seemed like a ridiculous request – Brittani didn’t ask twice she made sure it was done that way I was happy. My jumpsuit strap popped well into my reception and before I knew it Brittani and her amazing assistant was reattaching it – They were never far behind me or the groom. They moved quickly and efficiently – I could not have made a better decision to hire them and I will be forever grateful for their hard work!!!!
As for my decorations -- ABSOLUTLEY STUNNING!!! There is not much more I can say about them. When I first started deciding what we wanted I was completely lost – I knew my colors and what I liked but I was having a hard time putting it into words. Brittani went over pintrest ideas with me to formulate what I was trying to say – I cannot lie I was completely nervous. We came up with the word Vintage New Orleans to sum up what I thought we wanted. Day of the wedding I was so nervous because I honestly wasn’t sure what those words meant or at least if they translated to what I really saw in my head. I was beyond happy when I walked into our reception and saw my vision in real life. I could not have done it without Brittani !!!!
A tremendous shout out to Brittani and her amazing team at Unique Weddings. Just a few weeks ago we put our son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner and wedding for approximately...
240 guests in the very capable hands of Unique Weddings. All went spectacularly well. The restaurant and courtyard for the rehearsal dinner were beautifully decorated. Last minute Brittani came through with perfect lighting for the impending rain. The jazz band which was recommended by Unique Weddings was terrific. With respect to both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding venue (which was at the Royal Sonesta) the food, service and attention to detail were all stellar. Brittani coordinated all details for the wedding with the team at the Royal Sonesta. Repeatedly, guests stated with tremendous enthusiasm, "This is the nicest destination wedding weekend I have ever been to." With heartfelt appreciation and the fondest of memories we recommend Brittani Unique Weddings to all others for their family's rehearsal dinner, wedding and/or special affair.
I cannot say enough great things about Michele at Unique Weddings and Events! I hired Michele to help me with my daughter's wedding and reception which was this past September in N...
ew Orleans. After my daughter and her fiancé chose their wedding date and venue, I really thought I could take care of all the other details myself since I live here in New Orleans. I did choose most of my own vendors and did some of the work myself early on. I didn't realize all the work and the details that go into a wedding! Soon it became overwhelming, and I called Michele, as several friends had recommended her highly. I am so glad I did! (Michele has package options - I didn't need to use her full package since I had done some of the leg work). Michele and her team are so organized and great to work with. Michele, who is the owner, has done hundreds of weddings here (both for locals and out-of-towners), knows just about every vendor and she thinks of EVERYTHING! The wedding and reception were perfect, thanks to her. In the few weeks leading up to the wedding, she was checking and re-checking everything. She and her team were at the venue all day working with the vendors (florists, band, tent people, restaurant, etc.), coordinated the photographer and videographer, and stayed until after the reception was over . And the best part is, we were all able to relax and enjoy every minute of a perfect day and night!
There are not enough great things to say about Michele and her team! She was truly there with me every step of the way. The day of I was stress free because I knew her entire team...
had everything under control. When I walked in I was blown away about how perfect everything looked. Even my Bridesmaids and Mom loved all the lighting, candles, and decor that Michele
Took over. I would hire Unique Weddings for any event we have in the future!
Over.
Brittani was incredible to work with and truly a professional in this field. I cannot recommend Brittani and her team enough. We hired Brittani after initially working with another...
planner who we were not happy with. I was actually reluctant to hire someone new after our bad experience, but I knew Brittani was the right fit after just one call. We planned our wedding from out-of-state and Brittani provided support and guidance from the day we hired her. She was professional, knowledgeable, organized, responsive, patient and understanding at all times. She was completely in charge and on top of things for rehearsal and the day of our wedding. I had full confidence in Brittani and Michele and literally did not stress about anything on our wedding day. Having them on board also made the day more enjoyable for our entire family as we all knew everything was taken care of. I really can’t say enough about this team. Worth every penny.
Unique Weddings is more than a name! If you're looking for a luxe-unique wedding style, this is the place. Our planner Brittani is amazing, have an eye for detail & made the plann...
ing process fun. One phrase I never wanted to hear at my wedding & I'm pretty sure most brides would agree is " oh, so-and-so had the same (fill in the blank) at their wedding." I did not have this problem lol. Brittani brought our dream wedding to life, approaching a year later we still receive compliments & our wedding is still topic of conversation. My wubby and I are very thankful and happy!
Only a truly special planner could have created the magical, wonderful, beautiful, and truly perfect wedding that my wife and I had: Brittani. We had a _perfect_ wedding and she br...
ought it to us.
One reason we recommend Brittani is because she can see the hidden details in an idea, can see their fuller execution, and then recommend where you can cut and what really makes the experience special. For example, our ceremony, as we told her, was: "ceremony under the Peristyle in City Park with a string quartet playing jazzy hits and an interpretation of a punk rock song." Now that's nothing to sneeze at right there, but Brittani saw how to make that "idea" an "event." The turned our parade into one of the happiest moments of my life. She made our reception a romantic dinner for two that turned into one of the best parties in my life.
Brittani ensured that personal accents were integrated: we have a thing for bridges and they were the theme of the groom's cake. We're avid swing dancers, she found us an amazing chanteuse (Jayna Morgan) and band. The food is still calling me back to New Orleans. The food from Marcello's is now legendary among our family.
While the setup of the event was vital to its success, one extra aspect Brittani and her time provided was "day-of" logistics. She made sure that bridal and groom parties knew just enough to get to where they needed to be without filling our heads with complexity. At some point on the wedding day a guest texted me and asked some question and I though: wow! I'll just tell them to ask Brittani. And then the same happened to the bride, and then to me again and again and I just kept throwing it to Brittani or her staff. It was an absolute savior. It created the mental space I NEEDED to to freak out. While "doing one's wedding" is stressful, the stress of "running an event" was safely hidden and in Brittani's hands. I hadn't known to value that, but let me tell you, you should! And she's great at it!
Let me bring up the budgeting item. I don't have a golden goose and we were going to be on the hook for the majority of expenses. Brittani was responsive to our budget and helped us understand how to create a budgetary model compatible with our vision. While we were a bit overoptimistic (*blush*) initially, she guided us to a more appropriate number and, once it was settled upon, held closely to it. We thew in a few extras, but she was a responsible guardian of the spreadsheet.
When finally I got the mic at the reception, I had to call out Brittani's amazing work. She and her team had given me, my wife, and my guests something truly special. I couldn't have asked for more! I give her my fullest thanks and my fullest recommendation.
We dreamed a dream and Brittani made it happen.
We LOVED working with Brittani, she is amazing! We were planning our wedding from out-of-state and could not have done it without Brittani. She was so responsive and helpful throug...
hout the planning process and always gave advice with our vision/best interests in mind. And then on the actual wedding day – she was incredible. My husband and I still marvel at how smoothly everything went, from the décor to all the vendors (all of whom Brittani recommended!) to the flow of the whole night – it exceeded our expectations and we could not have asked for a more perfect night. Brittani and her team are so talented and professional, and we are truly grateful to have had the chance to work with her!
Brittani was amazing!
We were able to hire Brittani for our decor - both flowers and candles. Brittani was unable to be our planner, but did an amazing job communicating with our ...
venue and our planner and even fixing problems when necessary.
The decor looked wonderful! Our guests were extremely impressed. We would highly recommend!
Michele and her crew were a joy to work with. We are so fortunate to have found Michele. The planning process was very smooth. Michele was very easy to communicate with and fun to ...
be around. Coming from Indiana we were in need of a New Orleans expert to help us plan. Michele's knowledge and relationships within the community were golden. We found the expert we needed. Michele's help was worth every cent. Without her we would have been a mess because even the most organized person can't handle the amount of behind-the -scenes work Michele handled. And the weekend of the wedding went off without a hitch. Michele was a calming force throughout. Her experience truly shined and we were so very grateful for her.
Michele and Brittani were not only great to work with, but are so talented in their design. I was planning a destination wedding so I needed to make sure I was choosing a company t...
hat had good communication. They were on top of everything. When I showed concern for the weather they quickly eased my mind and everything worked out perfectly. I was blown away by the lighting, it was everything I imagined and more. They understood what my vision was and delivered a beautiful set up. Thank you both for creating the look and feel I was dreaming of.
My husband and I just got married 2/17/18 in New Orleans. I currently live in Dallas, TX and my husband is from Louisiana but we knew we always wanted to do a New Orleans wedding....
I knew it would be difficult not living in Louisiana, but after hiring Michele, I had nothing to worry about! She is an expert in the industry and knows all the right vendors to suggest. I used Michele as a month of/day of planner but she provided support and assistance from day 1, which was great. She really helped me narrow down my vendor selections and suggested vendors based on my budget, which was incredibly helpful, as I had no idea where to start! She is very organized and responsive to emails, which made me, a Type A bride, feel great! We met multiple times on trips to New Orleans, where she was always available to attend on site visits and conduct meetings to run through the timeline, etc. Her team on the day of were fantastic and super helpful! I told Michele on the day of to bring my vision to life and I trusted her with the setup, etc. and she DEFINITELY delivered. I would strongly recommend Michele and her team if you want to worry about ZERO things on the day of your wedding, as Michele will 100% have it all under control!
I cannot say enough about how incredible Michele and Brittani are. I worked with Michele for my wedding in December 2017, and she handled absolutely everything professionally and p...
romptly. She is SO easy to work with and really takes the time to hear what you want for your special day. We had incredible vendors that truly brought our vision to life, which Michele took the time to make sure she understood and executed to a T. When hiccups arrived along the way, Michele handled everything to make sure all we needed to worry about was having the best day we possibly could. The actual wedding day was a breeze thanks to this incredible team, and it was SO fun!! I still have people telling me our wedding was the most fun one they have been to, and I owe all of that to Michele. I was on the fence about hiring a planner, but trust me, Michele is 100% worth it.
