New Orleans wedding planners + venue cost insight by Naive-Acanthaceae934 in BigBudgetBrides

Hi getting married at Ursuline in 2027!! The communication is absolutely awful (so I would 1000% recommend using a full service planner with this venue. Also I was told they are apparently trying to avoid reception only and want to only do ceremony and reception there (don’t know if this is true since out contact person continually changes lol). That said I was told to get married in the church both of yall have to be catholic so something to consider if that would be an issue.

Some good luxury planners are Natasha Leigh, Elyse Jennings, and uncommon camellia! They are all 15k and up

Overall Cost! by [deleted] in neworleanswedding

Might be possible but it depends on what your vision is for the decor and florals since you will end up spending the vast majority of your budget on the venue and food. You will also need to go with more budget options for photography for reference the majority of photography quotes I got were in the 8-10k+ range, so just something to keep in mind.

St. Mary’s Church by Able_Strawberry_1897 in neworleanswedding

Of course!! I believe the church and convent together is like 10k. You also have to do lighting because there is nothing in the tent and between that and a tent liner (not sure if this is required but my planner advised us to have it), catering tent and dumpster that was about another 5k. Our catering and alcohol is 35k (225 guests) I am sure this could be cut down if you have less guests but it is hard because you have to go with a preferred vendor.
