- Brooke
I'm your typical Southern girl with a passion for weddings. New Orleans weddings are unlike any other and I love working in a city that values exceptional food, music and an all around good time. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and we have two little kiddos, Caroline and Lee. When I'm not designing weddings, I'm styling a new corner of our house, enjoying our growing family or planning our next adventure.
I love working with couples who are excited for the wedding but even more ready for what comes next, the marriage. I'd love to create an experience you and your family can look back on and cherish years after the big day
FOR THE SKIMMERS
My couples are more than just clients, they become dear friends. They're inviting me into their lives to help create a day that will live on forever in their memories.
As my husband and I began to grow our family, I became more intentional with the number of weddings I would book. I scaled back and offered a more luxury, one-on-one experience.
Style Me Pretty gave me my first online feature. Southern Weddings published the very first styled shoot I designed.
I launched my business and began working part-time as a wedding planner while assistant managing one of the most sought after wedding venues in New Orleans.
I'm dedicated to providing a hands-on approach with my couples. Whether you hire me for Event Management for Full Service, you are the only couple on my calendar for that weekend. In order to ensure a smooth execution on the wedding day, communication begins immediately upon booking. I'm the lead planner and point of contact for every wedding both during the planning process and on the day of. My approach is thoughtful, curated and intentional.
Timeline planning happens on Day 1. As soon as my clients invest in my services, we begin mapping out the ideal wedding day schedule. We look at the sunset time, any time restrictions due to noise ordinances, discuss the flow of dinner service, look at the pros and cons of a first look, and cover many other details that dictate which package you'll need to book with each vendor. We make informed decisions based on the flow of the day you are envisioning and request accurate proposals that fit your timeline.
Being the oldest of six children and the only girl, I'm the cliche for every meme about the oldest daughter and first grandchild. I know a thing or two about herding a crowd of people and getting them to the next task in a kind, yet firm way. I know how special this day is to everyone present and my role is to create a relaxed, yet structured environment so that you can enjoy the day while staying on schedule. I take the time to get to know my couples, the family dynamics and what is important to them so that on the wedding day, I am equipped to handle whatever comes my way.
