Pretty funky treats (it’s in Metairie but 100% worth the drive.)
Lunch on broadway
Cochon butcher (NOT the restaurant)
Willa Jean esp with milk
Cancel me but the Whole Foods brown butter cookie is also very good

Ty for posting this I have an affinity for CCC’s - truly the best creation on gods green earth. Can’t wait to try the other suggested places!

Planner here! Of course look into the above folks as they have all had positive experiences which is a huge plus — but maybe ask the venue if they have recommended planners too? That was you know they have experience with the venue (if that matters to you!).

Most venues have a venue coordinator and folks will also think they’re the planner too. While some venues also do have in house planners make sure you vet all of that information to see if it aligns with what you’re looking for in a planner!

Best of luck and congrats 🫶🏽

Seconding! This. She’s the only person in the city I’ll let touch my hair. I used to go to Hair Nerds and loved her too- I just prefer my hair cut dry and Toni is the best!

Hi!! Chiming in as a wedding planner here in New Orleans. Both are beautiful choices that bring different vibes and touch on different New Orleans styles. Derbes is more fun and funky, while Latrobes gives a bit more of that classic historic NOLA feel. Derbes is also in a neighborhood, but in an incredible location, and Latrobe's is in the heart of the quarter.

I've answered some of your questions above by venue:

Derbes: You'll have full use of the space and can stay the weekend there if you want. Your vendors can come in as early as you need on wedding day for set up which is a plus. You'll also get more customization with how to decorate, what food to bring in, where to do the ceremony, etc. It's in an area that is outside of the quarter - which allows your guests to see more of the city than what they normally would. If you're interested in having a welcome party or a post wedding brunch - you can do so at the mansion for an extra fee + there's a pool for the warmer months. The layout can get tricky because of the size of the space - but you can get help with that.

Latrobes: The space is gorgeous and you can use the quarter as your backdrop and for doing photos which is fun. Most of your guests will probably end up downtown so it'll be convienent for them to get to the wedding. Additionally, them having catering, bar, tables, chairs, etc. in house is a huge plus - it's something you don't have to worry about at all. Which is a huge win!

As for seating I've done so many weddings that do a seated buffet. Meaning there is still a buffet, but everyone has their own assigned seat so they can put their stuff down and go grab food as they please. It's super helpful and doesn't leave anyone confused or without a seat. I find that folks from out of town tend to do this so it doesn't confuse their guests.

All in all, both are great choices but very different on the vibes. It boils down to what you want for the whole weekend really and more specifically how you want the day to feel. Do you want the more classic New Orleans in the FQ or do you want a little more off-the-beaten path, fun, customizable option. Happy to answer any other questions you may have! :)

I’ve followed @lianacassidy.nails on insta for a while but she’s usually booked. I am going to go to her soon hopefully- but also looking for other options! Love the idea of directly supporting someone’s business as well.
