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 Emily 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!!!!

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!

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 took so much stress off of us as our wedding planner and the wedding events were all beautiful and fun. Many guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever attended and Brittani was a huge help in making our dream a reality.

On the wedding day itself, it was such a relief knowing all the details were handled by Brittani and Jen and my family and I didn't have to worry about anything. We were able to just enjoy ourselves without concern about logistics, schedules, etc.

During the planning process, she always responded promptly and was immensely helpful in liaising with vendors.

Overall, I am incredibly thankful for Brittani and cannot imagine how much more difficult pulling off this wedding would've been without her.

Dear Michele and Unique Weddings Team,

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.

Michele was the absolute best wedding planner!!! She is incredibly organized and she has amazing ideas. In addition she is so incredibly nice and caring. You will love working with Michele and her team. They made the entire experience so much fun. I am so sorry we did not use Michele for our older daughter’s wedding.

Michele and her team helped me plan a wedding about an hour away from New Orleans at a private home... from scratch! While it was a meaningful location for my husband and I, it meant we needed to transport over 350 people from the city to the church to the reception and back to the city to multiple destinations. Planning from scratch meant that the tent, food, tables, restrooms, running water, and even the electricity needed to be planned meticulously. Needless to say, the day went seamlessly! Unique Weddings allowed my husband and I to enjoy the day and took all of the stress of what could have been away. Our wedding was perfect for us and we owe so much thanks to Unique Weddings!

Michelle and her team are amazing! She made our entire wedding stress free! She went above and beyond to make sure all of the details were taken care of. Her communication is great. She handled all of the coordination with all of the vendors and the entire day went seamlessly. She is so friendly and helpful and has a ton of knowledge about all of the great venue choices in New Orleans. I absolutely recommend her services!

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!
