CammCamm's reviews

John provided the music for our ceremony and reception. Overall he did a good job. He played a large variety of the music that we liked, and played most of the songs that we requested. He isn't really too big behind the mic, and he definitely did not talk too much, but we were happy that he kept our guests engaged and dancing.

The cake was delicious and larger than what I originally ordered, which was just fine by me! However, I was not super happy with the total design, but because the cake was not a huge priority for me it was not a big deal. It looked nice and the price was good, so I was okay about it. However, my design was simple and that was not executed in the manner in which I wanted. In addition the baker was very difficult to deal with. She did not answer emails, was curt and at our overall meeting with her, it was just not professional and friendly.

The food was wonderful! Everybody raved about how good it was. Messina's did a great job. They came out to the venue and did a walk through the week before with me. We were able to do a tasting several months before the event and they let use change a few of the menu items. They cut and plated my cake. Bar was provided by them as well. Everything was just really wonderful!

I worked with Jayne, who so nice about everything. I changed my order a few times and she was able to work within the very strict time schedule at the venue. I also liked that she did not try to sell, sell, sell. Other rental companies wanted to rent me plants and lighting, etc. Jayne just got me what I needed.

We haven't gotten our pro pics yet, but we have always been happy with select Sam as our photographer. We loved our engagement pictures! They were so much fun to take, and Sam definitely put us at ease that day, which made us excited for our wedding. Sam worked well with us and a lot of the time we did not even know he was there. He took some specific pictures that we had requested and he made time to take some bridal type shots of me. He was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Will update more later when we get our pictures.

I got all the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages here. Crystal did a wonderful job and was great to work with. She used ribbon I provided for the bouquet wraps. Also she had some great suggestions for how to tie all the flowers together though I wanted something a little different for each group.

I ordered 200 pink roses to use in centerpieces/decoration. The roses were delivered on Thursday and used on Saturday. They were gorgeous. Delivery was on time. For the price I was extremely pleased. My mom used the flowers for the brunch the next day and they still looked lovely long into the next week.

We love this library and we were both so excited we were able to use it as our wedding venue. However, you must be aware that as you are not dealing with a private business, but with the city of New Orleans, it is very difficult to work with in planning your wedding there. The staff is great, it's just all the red tape crap and the city itself that is stressful. I am glad we used Latter, however, it created a lot more work and headache for me.

Jenn did my hair for my wedding, and Delane did the bridesmaids and my mom. We were all very happy with the way it all came out. I had gone in for a trial beforehand, and Jenn worked with me to get a style I was comfortable with and loved. She even showed my mom how to put my veil in since I got my hair done much earlier than I was getting ready. I do also have to say that on the morning of my wedding Jenn was in a car accident and still managed to arrive and do a great job.

I decided to do my own make-up. I scheduled an appointment at a Sephora store, and the consultant that I had was just the sweetest and the most patient! She showed me how to get the look I wanted, which surprisingly I found to not be as difficult as I thought it would be. She also recommended products for me to purchase for my wedding, and even told me how I could save some money by incorporating whatever make-up I already owned as well. In addition she told me how I could use all my new products to achieve a more everyday look, which I really appreciated.
