I contacted Zi to do my wedding since she was a make up artist for MAC Cosmetics. I gave her a brief idea of what I wanted to have for myself and my bridesmaid. She arrived on time, did an amazing job and was so much fun to work with! To contact her, email KeyKingston@yahoo.com

Michael Siu is an amazing photographer that does not normally do weddings, but did so on request for me since he is a friend(ther is normally a reason able fee for his services, but am not sure on the fee). We were not specific on the type of shots we wanted or the type of poses, but wanted more of a photojournalistic style to capturing our wedding memories. We had 300 photos taken, all of which were amazing! I was amazed at the amount of details he captured from my wedding that I was too busy to notice! He does tend to get booked early, so contact him or availability.

We had a 1940's wedding and we hired Reverend Spooky Le Strange. Reverend Spooky is also a burlesque performer and an mazing individual. She worked with us to have the type of ceremony we wanted. She did not charge us as long as we were willing to have photos of our ceremony posted on her site. We were so pleased with our ceremony and so were the guests that attended. Contact her through her website: www.reverendspookylestrange.com

This location was the half round bridge next to the Parkview Cafe in City Park. The location was free to use, although it is first come, first served. We covered the floor of the bridge with a white runner and sprinkled red and dark pink rose petals around. The locaton was quiet and had swans and ducks swimming under the bridge. They do not allow canopies or tents on the bridge, and they do not allow bands either. It can easily accomodate a crowd of people.

Deciding to purchase my wedding cake at Gambino's in Metairie was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. We wedding was planned on very short notice, I needed a cake in one week. We ordered a white Felicity cake with alternating red and black polka dots. The cake was white wedding cake, which had an almond taste to me, with strawberry filling on he bottom and lemon filling on the top layer. Everyone commented on how amazing the cake tasted, even those picky guests that normally do not enjoy cake. The staff was friendly and accomodating. I highly reccomend this bakery!
