The Hotel Monteleone is BEAUTIFUL! They gave us a good price for their rooms (although the Iberville was less expensive). Again, I had a problem with them as they had issues with delivering our OOT guest bags that we paid extra for them to do. We stayed at Monteleone all week and they upgraded our suite which was very nice of them. I recommend the hotel for your OOT guests.

The Iberville was one of the two hotels that we arranged room blocks for our guests. They gave us a discounted parking rate, plus only $89 room rate for a double suite. I was upset though because they had problems delivering our OOT guest bags, that we paid extra for them to deliver. I do recommend The Iberville Suites for your guests!

Their cake is amazing! We ordered a groom's cake for the rehearsal dinner (shaped like a lobster pot, red velvet), and a 2 tier wedding cake w/ sheet cake for the wedding (peaches and cream, grand marnier, and red velvet). Their prices are very very good and it is such moist, yummy cake. Their website is outdated but they can do anything, not just 80s designs :) Kind of hard to get in contact with from OOT, but worth it.

Very easy to work with. Gina Lopinto is super sweet and put up with all our changes to the menu. Everyone raved about the food. Some items were a little lukewarm, not as hot as I would have liked, but everything tasted great.

We loved this space and there is a lot going for it- great location, lots of rentals included (chivari chairs, linens, candelabras). There are a few things we were unhappy with-- the speakers in the downstairs museum area (where we had cocktail hour) do not work; I asked multiple times before the day if the entire area was wired for sound, and they assured us it was fine. Day before the wedding, and they tell us the sound hasn't worked downstairs in a decade. Also, all the liquor/beer goes through them so keep that in mind. We had a signature drink but there was some drama trying to get them to do it, even though it simplified their jobs greatly to just have signature drinks during cocktail hour vs. full bar. Despite the problems, the space was gorgeous day-of and the women that work there are very nice.

Jade did makeup- total sweetheart, great work. Danielle did hair- loved the trial, but my day-of wedding hair started falling out before the ceremony started. It seemed that during my hair appointment she was rushing/distracted- they came an hour late because the wedding party before mine went way over schedule. Because of the fiasco with Aveda Institute, Jade and Danielle were supposed to do all the hair/makeup for my family too, so maybe that's why they were rushing. They did call in a second team to do my family's hair/makeup so Jade and Danielle didn't have to do it all. I liked my hair/makeup, my BM looked great (had hair done), my family's hair and makeup was good.

We had a 30 passenger limo bus for our close family and friends to be transported, as well as a sedan and 2 limo buses for the day of the wedding. Everything worked out well, I really liked our sedan driver :) No complaints.

OMG, our engagement and wedding photos were PERFECT! Chris was such a joy to work with! We highly recommend them without any reservation!

I didn't give a high priority to flowers and didn't want to spend a ton of money. Christina's prices were great and she's very sweet. I never met her in person until the day of the wedding since we planned from OOT, so we had all our meetings about flowers over the phone and email. I didn't give too much direction but did say I didn't want a lot of roses. So, when I got my bouquet I was a little disappointed in the size of bouquets (smaller than expected) and the # of roses in all the flower arrangements since I made that part very clear. For the price though, my flowers were beautiful, so I'd recommend her. Just make sure you send give her more direction to get what you want.

We had such a beautiful yet simple wedding at St. Anna's. We really love this small church. They are very community minded, and share our values. They are not a wedding chapel, so only inquire if you are serious about having an Episcopal wedding ceremony. Their parish administrator, Luigi, is amazing to work with and made much of the process very easy for us.
