Rachel & Adrian’s Wedding – Westin Canal Place, New Orleans – 1/19/08

Though it was a cold, blustery day outside, it was warm and inviting inside the Westin as Rachel and Adrian were wed under an absolutely beautiful candlelit chuppah crafted by Dunn & Sonnier Flowers.

After the ceremony, the New Orleans Klezmer All Stars performed for the first part of the reception, with the always fabulous Distractions entertaining and keeping the dance floor packed for the remainder of the night. And yes, that bulldog shown below is a cake! It was created by Zoë’s Bakery, and everyone cringed when it came time to slice up this incredible creation.

At the conclusion of the reception, the Distractions’ horn section led everyone in a Second Line around the ballroom, culminating in a wonderful flower petal send-off for the bride and groom.

Michele Adams and her Unique Weddings in New Orleans staff ensured the memorable event went smoothly.

Yashica & Carlos’ Wedding – Sheraton Hotel, New Orleans – 12/31/07

My last wedding of the year was a biggie… a very festive New Year’s Eve celebration with a genuinely sweet couple. Following the ceremony at the Second True Love Baptist Church in New Orleans, we headed to the Sheraton Hotel’s beautiful Armstrong Ballroom for a lavish reception. Later, The Next Generation Brass Band entertained as the final minutes of 2007 ticked away, and at midnight Yashica and Carlos got an excellent view of the fireworks show from the terrace.
