Wedding at The Chicory in New Orleans – Kathryn & Dave

Kathryn and David had an amazing wedding at The Chicory, a fabulous New Orleans wedding venue in the warehouse district. We started out with some getting ready coverage at the nearby Omni Riverfront Hotel with Blush and Bashful doing the hair and makeup, before heading to The Chicory for the bride to get into her stunning Rosa Clara wedding dress in the venue’s bridal suite. The ceremony was held in spacious Parlor room, which easily accommodated the 200+ guests in attendance. Poppy and Mint Floral crafted the gorgeous flowers.

The reception took place in the main part of The Chicory, the Fulton, Orleans, and Lafayette rooms (along with the balcony, overlooking Fulton Street). With lots of exposed brick and wood beams, this space has lots of character and photographs well, especially when adorned with, in addition to the beautiful floral decorations, gorgeous decorative lighting by Luminous Events. Odideo Media Group took care of capturing the event with video, and La Louisiane Bakery created the gorgeous (and delicious) cakes. The bride and groom are Disney fans and arranged for their wedding cake to have hidden Mickeys, which were indeed very well hidden (if I had not been told about them in advance, I probably would not have noticed!).

Entertainment for this wedding was over-the-top!  The Chee Weez delivered a non-stop concert-like party atmosphere with a bunch of great ’80s songs (many of which I’d never heard at a wedding reception before), along with lots of more current music as well, keeping the dance floor completely packed all night long. Toward the end of the event, several guest singers joined in with the band, including the bride’s brother, and another guest who sounded almost exactly like AC/DC’s vocalist Brian Johnson. But the best guest musician of all was the groom himself who sat in on drums and surprised everyone with his impressive chops!
