Scott and I want to thank you so much for the amazing coordination that you did for our wedding on March 4, 2006. You were God sent!!! Planning a New Orleans wedding from Atlanta was challenge enough, but Hurricane Katrina sent the challenge over the top. Your grace under pressure and superlative professionalism kept us calm and focused through all the chaos, even when we were unsure if we could still keep our wedding in New Orleans. Your offer to be our wedding coordinator no matter where we had the wedding was above and beyond, but boy are we glad we were able to keep the location in New Orleans!!!! If there was a hitch in the planning, Scott and I sure didn’t know about it. From the moment that we started planning until we left the reception- everything was planned and executed to perfection.

About 95% of the guest were from out of town, and they cannot stop talking about the Audubon Clubhouse with the breathtaking Oak trees (quite the memorable wedding ceremony location) and the “to die for” food; At Fault was amazing and kept the reception “hopping”; the Second Line and cake pulls were a novelty to everyone. I could go on and on about the vendors, but Scott and I cannot take the credit for having such a “talked about” wedding- that was all your doing. Your expertise/knowledge of the vendors made our selection process seamless. You not only took the time (and patience) to figure out what our style was, but you took that vision and created our perfect wedding. So for coordinating such a “much talked about” wedding amongst our friends/family- we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn’t have pulled the wedding off without you!!! Thank you for making such a special lifetime memory (for us and our guest).

How can Paul and I begin to thank you for all your help to plan our wedding?  It was the absolute perfect wedding of our dreams and our guests have not stopped talking about the amazing time they had.

I know 2005 was a very difficult time for you and New Orleans.  Despite your struggles, you encouraged us to keep our plans in NOLA and managed to ensure that everything we had envisioned came to froition.

Your care and professionalism allowed us to enjoy our most special day.  It quite simply would not have happened without you.  It was as stress-free as possible, as fun as is legal and a celebration with memories to last a life time.

Please give our best to Johnny, Brittani, and Nana...your superior team!

Love,

Monica and Paul Parker

Thanks a million for doing an outstanding job for Natailie's wedding at the Country Club of Louisiana in Baton  Rouge.  Our guests enjoyed themselves immensely; they are still talking about the wedding.  Everything went so smooth and the vendors you recommended were fantastic.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding, most of all thanks for planning a spectacular event.

Hi Michele,

I just wanted to thank you for making my wedding a beautiful and low stress event.  Everything went smoothly and Eric and I had an absolutely wonderful time.  We could not have done it without your awesome work.  I have received so many comments that the wedding was the most beautiful and the most fun that people have been to and those two things were the most important to me -- beautiful and fun.   Marie and Karen were great too! We had a wonderful time, thanks for everything,

Lauren and Eric Nelson

Dear Michele,

What a feat!! You were just wonderful ensuring that every detail was attended to and that our "dreams do come true!!!" There is no doubt in our minds that you are a gem! We could not have enjoyed or planned this wonderful wedding weekend without you and we all know it!!!

Thank you so much and please know that this wedding will be in our memories forever. We have you to thank!!

Please let Brittani know how wonderful and professional she is and that we want to thank her as well. Her last minute delivery on Sunday morning was so appreciated. Our very best and deep appreciation!

Taylor and I cannot thank you enough for creating the most magical wedding we could have ever envisioned.

Every single detail of our three day event was perfect. All of the logistics were absolutely seamless, which, believe me, was noted by several of our guests. From the transportation for Jazz Fest and Rock 'n' Bowl to the police escorts for the Second Line. The locations you showed us were amazing, places we would have never found on our own. Every vendor we used provided service that exceeded our expectations. We never could have put together our wedding without you.

The thing that still amazes me is that with everything going on and all of the little last minute changes you were always an absolute joy to work with, you never said 'no' to any of our ideas and every last thing we wanted you made happen. Planning a wedding could not have been made easier. We never had to think twice once we arrived in  New Orleans , everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our weekend with our friends and family and not worry about the details. We just knew you had it all covered.

We are forever grateful to you, your staff, your friends and your sweet family for making Taylor and I feel so welcome every time we came to N.O. and so comfortable in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!" - Melisa & Taylor

Dear Michele,

I don't know what to say that Melisa didn't.  She said it all and then some.  The only thing I can really add to Melisa's wonderful and true note is that I can't tell you how many people have come up to me and said, 'that was the greatest wedding I've ever been too.' These people have been to SO many weddings in their day that it is truly a compliment and it is a compliment to you.  You did all this Michele and you did it with grace, style and tons of humor.  It was such a cool weekend for us and we can't thank you and your whole crew enough.  What a phenomenal family and group of friends you have and that is all a reflection on what an amazing person you are.  Melisa and I had the only type of wedding that could have ever worked for us and that is ALL because of you!!!  Thank you for everything and please thank Marie, Meda, Johnny,  et al for being truly sensational.

Much love,

Taylor Reinhart


Dear Michele,

I just wanted to thank you for the fabulous job you did for our wedding, Sept. 25, 2004. We couldn't have been more thrilled with the preparations you made, the vendors and locations you chose, and the ease with which the day flowed under your direction. Planning a wedding from out of state is never easy, but you made us feel that we didn't miss a singe step despite being hundreds of miles away! I also have to say a special thanks to you for suggestion a Second Line March through the French Quarter. I would have never known to include this in the festivities and it turned out to be one of the most fun parts of the whole day! So many of our guests said it was the "most fun" wedding they had ever attended, and I would have to agree!

I would recommend you (and already have) to anyone planning a wedding in New Orleans or the surrounding area.  Your professionalism and attention to detail was evident in all aspects of the day, but you never made us feel rushed. How you managed it all is beyond me, but I am so pleased that we had you to help plan our wedding. It was a truly unforgettable day, thanks to you.

Thank you,

Jena Joplin-Weinstock

Michele:

Words can't begin to express how much we appreciate all that you did to help make Adrianne and Lance's wedding day even more special. Brittani is certainly following in her mom's footsteps in doing such a professional job.

As our wedding coordinators you handled ever detail from the rehearsal to reception with such care for our needs. There wasn't a problem that you couldn't solve and that made our worries so much lighter. Every thing fell into place and went on without a hitch. I know that this happened because of all of your hard work done behind the scenes. We could not and would not want to have had this wedding without your help. I would highly recommend your services to anyone planning a wedding in the New Orleans area. You are the best Michele and Brittani.

Wedding Planner – Michele Adams - A+

I cannot say enough great things about Michele. From the beginning, she answered my emails right away, she set up all of my appts. and meetings with vendors, she let me know when she thought things were too expensive and/or she came up with alternatives to save money. There is no way that we could've had our day without her. Everyone commented to me on how nice she was, but more importantly, how much in charge she was. She didn't overlook anything and everyone was extremely happy and that's what was important to me. We talked about how I wanted everything to be set up and I was a little late getting the votives to her, but she figured out what I wanted and had EVERYTHING set up exactly how I wanted. I almost cried when I walked into the reception area, but I didn't want to ruin my makeup. She definitely took a load of stress off of us and I highly recommend getting a planer if not for full-time, at least for day-of.

PS –as I was typing this up, the groom wanted me to throw in that even HE gives Michele an A+.


Dear Michelle,

Cory and I wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful help in making our wedding day one of the best days of our lives!. You went to the extra effort to make sure Cory, myself, my family and wedding party were having the best time. You were a wonderful asset in planning our New Orleans wedding. Since I lived in Florida you make planning the wedding a lot of fun and hassle free. You were extremely useful in providing suggestions of venues, vendors and general suggestions, and we couldn't have had the wedding of our dreams without all of your advice and recommendations.

Thank you for doing such a great job! – Betsy Couch

Michele,  

Thanks for the excellent work you did in planning and managing our wedding in New Orleans . At first, we were worried about having our wedding so far from home, but with you in charge, we were able to relax completely, and enjoy everything. Other couples talk about how stressful it was to plan their weddings, and how they can't remember the actual event because they were so busy, and I just smile politely ... because you made everything so easy for us, that we had the day of our lives. We will never forget how great our wedding was, and we owe that to you and your team. All of our guests still talk about how much fun they had, and that a perfect wedding it was. They loved coming to New Orleans in the first place, and that night was the best night of all the great nights they had. From the setting, to the pacing, to the food, to the entertainment, everything was exactly right. I would highly recommend your services to anyone considering a wedding in New Orleans . In fact, they shouldn't do it any other way.  

Thank you,

Matt Morgan


Dearest Michele,

Roderick and I would like to take the time to thank you for a job well done with our wedding. Everything was beautiful! When we arrived in New Orleans from Houston , we didn't know what to expect. It was our first time being there. Not only did we have our wedding there, but also we had a chance to see what New Orleans had to offer.

All Of our arrangements were made via phone, fax and e-mails. I put faith and trust in you, and you assured me that everything would be okay. I told you about my vision of how I wanted to be married with candles and rose petals, surrounded by our closest family and friends. You gave me all of the feedback and attention that I needed. So when our ideas came together, the end result was an intimate, romantic wedding, with fresh flowers, a fountain and candlelight. The reception at Antoine's was literally the icing on our “cakes”. When we walked into the restaurant, we were taken aback by it's beauty. The food was absolutely wonderful. Our wedding cakes were beautiful. Everything that we asked for, you gave it to us. So again, we must thank you. From our hotel reservations to the wedding in the beautiful French Quarter courtyard, Bob Bradford's photography to the Limo's to the reception at Antoine's to just allowing us to enjoy the wonderful city of New Orleans ......We Thank You!!!!!!

Sincerely Yours,

Kimberly and Roderick Dunn

We wanted to thank you again for the unbelievable job you did with our wedding. We can't believe how beautiful it was! On paper, the potential for problems was huge: two different cultures, one Catholic and one Muslim wedding ceremony, everbody coming in from out of town (including the bride and groom) and the various "characters" involved. All of that could (and did) lead to a lot of little snags, but you made it seem like that was pretty much to be expected, and never a problem. You handled every situation and every person very smoothly, and the final product was incredible!!! From the food and the flowers to the bands and the candles, it was all so amazing. Two months later, people are still telling us that our weekend made for the most beautiful, enchanting wedding they had ever been to. It truly was a magical night and the happiest moment of both of our lives. And there was no way we would have ever been able to pull it off, much less enjoy it, without your being there.

So thank you so much for helping to create the best night of our lives! Any time you need a reference, you just have them call us, and we will let them know that the best decision the bride and groom can make is to get you involved.

Well the wedding weekend was a fabulous success! Even the weather worked so well for us. Dan and I couldn't have asked for a better event. All of our guests are raving about the location and the food at the dinner. We keep getting comments like "that was the most beautiful ceremony I ever attended" and that the wedding dinner was the "best food in New Orleans".

You did a great job coordinating everything and I am so glad you convinced me to add some of those little touches to my second wedding. It came off so fantastic and we all danced the night away with the great jazz band.

Thank you so very much for all of your help with our big event. Good luck and please know that I will be happy to give you a reference at any time.

We can't thank you enough for the wonderful job that you did planning our wedding. Everything was perfect! How did you ever manage to arrange perfect weather for us? The vendors you selected were all excellent: harpist, jazz combo, florist, caterers, etc. It came off without a hitch and we know that it was mostly due to your behind the scenes work. We really appreciated your diligence; you planned our wedding with the care that you would have planned your own!

Sincerely,
Lisa and Bruce Schewe

What a "superlative!" I can't tell you how many of my guests told me that our New Orleans wedding was "the best wedding they'd ever been to!" I can't tell you how good those comments made me feel ... and how grateful I am for all your help in making it so!

I had hoped for a fun, personal evening with good food, good music and the ability to focus on my guests and my husband; I didn't want to be one of those brides who was so stressed with the details of running the evening that I didn't even get to eat the food or connect with the guests. You arranged all of that and more.

Without even a true rehearsal, you handled all the little wrinkles that arose like adding a last minute guest to the seating chart. getting the cocktail room switched mid-party to accommodate seating for the ceremony, re-arranging the flow of the evening on the fly so that it was completely stress-free. And you made it look so effortless. Your cheerful enthusiasm even got 50 New Englanders to wave hankies in their very first "second-line" (not an easy feat for those from the conservative North!).

Your venue recommendations were perfect. The Maison Dupuy was charming and carried the New Orleans atmosphere we wanted our guests to enjoy for the rehearsal. The food was wonderful, the service attentive ... all we had to do was show up and enjoy. Having the caricature artist also was a big hit and helped break the ice across our several groups of guests.

Your coordination of two beautiful rooms at Antoine's for our cocktail party/ceremony and dinner made our time there doubly delightful. My parents and family have dined at 4 star restaurants worldwide and had nothing but rave reviews for the food, service and ambiance. You even found a bakery that would achieve my wish of having a cake that tastes as good as it looks (unlike another planner who had told me "all wedding cakes taste the same." If only he could have tried our Bananas Foster and praline beauty!).

I think the best thing I can say is that you made all my guests think that Dan and I were outstanding hosts, while you gave us the luxury of feeling like honored guests. And, we were able to truly enjoy our own wedding!

Thank you so much. You've shown us the true definition of "lagniappe."

Cheers,
Liz Stotler + Dan Robertson

We just wanted to thank you again for all your excellent work on our wedding last month. The usual phrase in these circumstances is "we couldn't have done it without you." Well, we might have been able to do it without you, but only by expending superhuman amounts of time and effort--and losing our sanity.

Since we don't live in New Orleans, we vastly appreciated your extensive network of reliable contacts. Whether it concerned the typical for a wedding (florists, photographers, bakers) or our more eccentric requests (like the ice sculpture of Elvis!), you always knew the right person for the job. And although you unfailingly had excellent advice, you were helping us realize our vision of the perfect wedding, rather than pushing us towards any preconceived notions of your own.

Your professionalism and high degree of organization let us go into our wedding weekend secure that everything was taken care of. On the day of the wedding itself, your presence allowed us to enjoy our own party. And during the months of planning, your unflagging good humor helped banish the stress.

You have our gratitude and our best wishes for the future.

Sincerely,
Jen Sudul and Gavin Edwards

I wanted to take a quick minute to thank you for everything you've done. It's been a month now since our wedding and my wife and I can't stop smiling. You were the best investment we made for our wedding, hands down. We just received the proofs and they are great pictures of incredible memories. From the flowers to the cake and band, everyone we used was the best. They were all so "local" that there is no way we would have found or used them on our own. 

The greatest thing for my wife was having guests describe our wedding day as "a fairy tale," "something out of the movies," and "one night they would never forget." Every bride wants to feel like they had the best wedding and Jamie knows that she did. The greatest thing for me was telling you every idea we had, large and small, and you being able to put them together and make our vision come true, all the while coming in under budget. In this day and age that doesn't happen often. My best man thinks that our wedding cost three times what it did. He used a wedding coordinator for his wedding also, and you can't even compare our two weddings. His was very "cookie cutter" and unoriginal, where I felt that ours represented Jamie and me in every way. 

The biggest compliment I could give you was the peace of mind and calmness we both had the day of the wedding. No fears and no worries. That is also the greatest gift anyone could give to a couple on their wedding day. Please do not hesitate to use us as a referral with your future clients, and both my wife and I wish you all the best.
