We were very disappointed with our experience with Samantha. On the day of our wedding, she called…read moreless than an hour before she was supposed to arrive to say that she was concussed -- something that had not just happened -- but said she would still be able to perform the ceremony. When she arrived, it quickly became clear that she was not prepared. She didn't seem to know whether we wanted a civil or religious ceremony, despite having discussed this multiple times before the wedding. She also had no SD card, even though our package specifically included photos and a video recording. Because of her condition and lack of preparation, we made the difficult decision to have a friend officiate instead. After the wedding, we reached out to discuss a refund, since Samantha did not perform the ceremony, take photos, or provide video as contracted. She refused, saying she could have done the work using a Google link for photos -- something she never mentioned on the day of the event. The website and package we booked clearly stated that photos would be taken with her camera and uploaded from the SD card. Overall, our experience felt impersonal and unprofessional. It seemed like she hadn't reviewed the personal information we provided about our relationship, and the interaction felt more like an assembly line than a meaningful service. We would not recommend this vendor to couples seeking a reliable, prepared, and professional officiant for their wedding.

We are from California and decided to get married here, at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel. We booked our wedding about 2 months in advance and got married 7/25/2025. We chose the standard wedding package and added a few extras: the bridal bouquet, groom's boutonniere, flower girl basket, and an upgraded photography package. Reverend Cassandra Watson brought so much warmth and joy to our ceremony. She made me feel so comfortable and happy. Teresa Newman, our photographer, captured some absolutely stunning photos of us. We also had a violinist playing sweet music and a greeter who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Since we were flying back to California a few days after the wedding, we took our marriage license to the Jefferson Parish General Government Center right after the ceremony to have it recorded immediately. It was a quick and easy process. I am so truly grateful for the experience and the hospitality of the entire French Quarter Wedding Chapel Team. Thank you so much for making our special day so memorable.

When the credit was not placed on the credit card, returned the call to her multiple times, FINALLY she answered the phone and told me I was a liar, none of our guests sat on the floor and the cake was only dropped because it was our fault and it was a dry cake.

LaToya was also very responsive via email, which was an added assurance for us since we were planning a destination wedding. What I loved most about working with LaToya was the specialization of our ceremony. We were able to Include a lot of different elements such as the use of a lasso (which my partner's parent's also used when they were married) and also participating in a sage blessing. It was very important for us to also include elements of our spirituality and our religion, which LaToya was able to do effortlessly.

Hands down Andrea is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can 100%…read moresay that if she had not been our wedding planner this event would not have gone down. I am from New Orleans but live in Austin, Tx. When we got engaged I put a post on facebook asking if anyone back home knew of a wedding planner they would recommend and a friend directed me to Vim& Verve. BEST DECISION EVER! I cannot rave enough about Andrea. She talked me down off the ledge when I called balling my eyes out saying that we were going to elope due to the extensive amount of drama from our friends and family. Andrea calmed me, told me to sleep on it for a night and talk with the groom the next morning. When I wanted to return my dress she advised me to try it on then send her a picture. When she saw the photo she suggested changing the accessories ( sash and veil) I hadnt even considered it... I found a bridal consingment shop brought the dress, veil and sash - discovered a whole new look to the dress that fit my personality better just by changing those things. I fell in love with the dress all over again. She made amazing recommendations for the caterer Laura Arrowood and photographer Jason Albus - they were budget friendly and out of this world great. Everytime we traveled to New Orleans Andrea made time to meet with us no matter how short of a trip it was. The day before the wedding weather forecast showed rain and probability of a tornado. Andrea was cool, calm and collected while I was very freaked. She calmed my nerves, we called around to rental companies and found that tents would be 700$ or more at last minute our budget didnt allow for that. Andrea jumped on the phone and made a trip to the Naval Base in Belle Chasse to rent tents for 20$ a day the day before the wedding - can you say above and beyond. When our officiant dropped out of the wedding she stepped up and said she could recommend a few people in town or she would do it herself. She helped us write an amazing ceremony and when we opted to write our own vows she proofread them and helped make tweaks so they were perfect. We have a lot of crazy family situations, she listened to all the drama and knew ahead of time what to look out for - family members that have come to blows and hadnt been in the same room for over 20 years came together and had an amazing time. It was MANDATORY that we find a venue who would allow our dogs to walk in our wedding party ( we have 6 and a pig) she gave us options fitting all of the things we asked for. Every text and email, no matter how tiny I sent her I received a response to without a lengthy wait. There is sooooo much more I could go on for days. She handled every member of our group with respect, care and happiness no matter how attitudey some of them could be. EVERY family member, wedding party member and guest loved Andrea. We received so many compliments on how fun, happy, friendly and great she was from all of our guests. She made planning a wedding from out of town a breeze. She helped my come up with meanings for our cake pulls and found us such great deals and vendors. Every person in and at the wedding stopped us to say this was the funnest wedding with the best food, music, drinks and ceremony they had ever been to and how much they LOVED Andrea. I cant say enough how much we love Andrea and how lucky you will be, how amazing your night will go if she takes care of you and your family on your special day. Theres nothing like it. Andrea was the best thing that happened to this couple, and I can safely say we didnt just find a wedding planner. We have gained an amazing friend. She embraced us from day one and didnt make us feel like we were a paycheck or a client, she made us family. Vim & Verve is number one in our book. Thank you Andrea, you ROCK our world and gave us more than we ever dreamed.

I don't have a lot of time right this second so I plan to give more details later, but I have to…read moresay that Vim & Verve worked miracles for us! For our tenth wedding anniversary, we wanted to renew our vows in a unique and big way, on a very limited budget. Andrea found the most interesting things for us to do before the event and as the event. We planned the whole thing from our home in Los Angeles, and never had a detail to worry about. Andrea knows EVERYBODY in New Orleans, and they probably all owe her a favor or two. She always presented us with at least two options (many more to start with) once we narrowed down to the specific type of thing we wanted, and she was there with us for every part of the event, from joining the wedding party for breakfast the day of, to taking the guys shopping for appropriate "second-line" hats, to dancing in the second line WHILE she video-taped the whole thing... If you have any questions, please feel free to message me here, I'm happy to give you details.

We did not hire a wedding planner and now, knowing just how much work is involved in planning a wedding, I think we simply couldn't have done it without their guidance and tips, which they provided even for events beyond the wedding and their scope of work. The whole event ran so smoothly that I was worry-free and thoroughly able to enjoy the wedding myself. And the rave reviews from the guests (as well as from participating vendors!) prove just how exceptional Latrobe's is.

So much so that we did not feel the need to hire a wedding planner. The venue's highly-skilled and experienced team are able to provide helpful insights every step of the way and are always willing to answer questions. Their vendor list is very helpful, everyone they recommended did an incredible job. The building itself is nothing short of magical. Giving our guests a real taste of New Orleans was incredibly important. If our guests did nothing else during their trip, we wanted them to feel like they had an experience unique to the city. Latrobe's definitely helped us achieve that. From the beautiful courtyard complete with burning gas lamps, to the grand banking room, to the wonderful food selection of delicious regional delicacies. Many of our guests told us that they felt they had been transported back in time. That it was the best, most unique wedding they had ever attended - and with the best food! Lastly, the team at Latrobe's is incredible - I actually miss talking to them every week! (LOL) Rylan, Hana, and Millie are the best. I am so grateful for their expertise, patience, and kindness during the entire planning process. A big thank you to Rylan especially for her guidance during our tasting and rehearsal! We would also like to thank the day-of event team, including Marté and David, who made us feel so special on our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on the kindness of the Latrobe's staff who made them feel so welcome. In conclusion, there are simply not enough stars to accurately review Latrobe's! If you have been searching for a venue in New Orleans, congratulations, you've found it! Trust me. We will cherish the memories forever.
