A Bupp Event was built after a huge move to the south and a new baby in tow. After 7 months of an extended maternity leave from events and the DC market I found I really missed events! The creative designs, the logistical details, the 'friendor' relationships. I missed it all. I decided to dive back into events, most specifically weddings, giving me the opportunity to connect with all these beautiful couples and a whole new set of vendors.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley at A Bupp Event was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding. She helped create the most magical and stress-free day, taking care of every single detail so that my husband and I could simply enjoy ourselves. Ashley was so organized and prepared for any possibility, seamlessly coordinating with all of our vendors and keeping everyone on schedule. She was also incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout the entire planning process. We truly could not have planned our wedding without Ashley's expertise and guidance, and we cannot recommend her and A Bupp Event enough to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding planning experience.

The Social Butterfly Wedding Co. 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Independence, LA

The Social Butterfly Wedding Co. is a two-best-friend team dedicated to creating seamless, joy-filled wedding days. With a love for details and meaningful moments, we help couples celebrate while we handle everything behind the scenes.

In truth, the only reason I was initially looking to hire a "day-of coordinator" is because the wedding venue required it. That said, within moments of working with Jerica on our wedding I knew that I would hire her over and over again even if there had been no requirement to do so. Jerica and Stephanie went above and beyond what I, and really my entire wedding party, expected from a "day-of coordinator." From our initial conversations in the planning phase to the rehearsal to the morning of the wedding to the end of the night, they were on top of everything. Everyone kept complimenting me for being such a "calm" bride -- I can now say they had a lot to do with that. I was able to be present on my wedding day because I could trust completely that any issues that might arise, they would have the know-how and confidence to handle them. In fact, I learned later that the ceremony would have been a total disaster had Jerica and Stephanie not stepped up and took control of the situation. The experience Jerica has accumulated in all of her past endeavors lends itself beautifully to this new role. I wholeheartedly recommend and actually urge anyone looking for a wedding coordinator to do themselves a favor by hiring Jerica and her team.

Allison Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first meeting, Allison and her team were organized, attentive, and straight-forward in their communication, making the planning process a breeze. They were incredibly dedicated and helpful, going above and beyond to find vendors that fit our budget and location, and ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly from start to finish. Even though Allison was freshly postpartum, she and her team were fully present and made sure our special day was perfect in every way. We are so grateful for their hard work and highly recommend Allison Events to any couple planning their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Mostest for Day of Coordination and Something Borrowed Blooms Management. We chose our coordinator a month before our wedding and started working with her about 3 weeks ahead of the big day. We had an 87-person restaurant wedding at American Brass in LIC. Our DoC, Tea Shepherd, was incredible and picked up seamlessly all the things we planned for the wedding. I had put together most of the plans ahead of time, but she came in with suggestions and perfected all the details. I trusted her completely to run the day and also do all the decor setup. She made the venue looks so beautiful without much input from us as we trusted her vision. She coordinated with all the vendors before the wedding and during and they all had very positive things to say about her. She was so thoughtful with the preparations for the wedding and attentive to our needs. She checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we had a drink and anything else while also making sure ran smoothly. Our coordinator for SBB, Fiona, received and dropped off all of the packages and communicated quickly and we’re very happy how all of that was handled.

We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

Hey, yall! I’m Kiara, the heart and hustle behind La Petite Creations— wedding planner, vibe curator, and your go-to-girl for making wedding magic happen. At La Petite Creations, our goal is to make each event fun and stress-free. My commitment to wedding planning is the heart of what I do, ensuring each client receives a highly customized experience, with trusted expertise and a pop of personality every single time.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m not even sure where to begin. I reached out to Kiara @ La Petite Creations in July 2024, when I first began planning my June 2025 destination wedding. I had come across her business page on social media, and reached out to inquire about a consultation. I knew that I wanted a very personalized experience & felt that I would get that from LPC. After our first conversation, I knew that I had made the right choice. Throughout my entire wedding planning period, Kiara exceeded my expectations. We planned an entire destination wedding weekend for 100 of our relatives close friends. Kiara helped plan our welcome party, as well as our wedding ceremony reception. Our entire process was collaborative, and Kiara perfectly balanced bringing my vision to life while adding all of the special touches that she knew we needed. She was always responsive, professional, and energetic. Whenever I had a concern or frustration, she always assured me that everything would come together perfectly. And it absolutely did. Our weekend was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have done it without Kiara and the LPC staff. Kiara is extremely creative, and was able to design so many customized details for our wedding weekend. Our guests loved the logo, the wedding newspaper, and the wedding merch station — all designed by Kiara. Every single base was covered, down to the pre-scheduled messages that guests received throughout the weekend to keep them informed. What began as a casual inquiry in the very beginning stages of planning the most important weekend of my life, ended with me not only having the most perfect celebration of my love story with my favorite people, but finding genuine friendship in Kiara. The cherry on top? My family & friends absolutely loved her! I’m forever grateful to her for making sure that our weekend was memorable for us and our guests.

Brandon Thorn and Adam at Crimson Quarter Weddings went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless! One of the things that I loved right away about Brandon when I first spoke with him was his authenticity, friendliness and sense of humor. I knew immediately that he was a genuine person who really cared about getting to know me and my fiancé. As a result, we became friends pretty quickly and got to know a lot about each other beyond wedding planning-related tasks. I so appreciated this because it meant that I felt like I had an ally to help me navigate the wedding planning process. Brandon will truly support you and go to bat for you if there is a communication issue or conflict of interest with another vendor or venue. I learned as a bride that it is really important to have someone like Brandon who is there 100% looking out for your best interests. I also appreciated that while I hired Brandon as my Day-of-Coordinator, he did way more than just day-of coordinating duties, including attending meetings with my venue several months in advance. He also always answered my texts and emails quickly and communicated with me frequently. This made me feel secure knowing that Brandon really cared about me! On the day of the event, we had to move our ceremony inside due to rain, and Brandon and Adam worked hard to still ensure that the décor and other elements for the ceremony were still set up to look beautiful inside. They also worked with the venue to make some changes to the furniture layout in order to still ensure that the space was set up to make us and our guests have the best experience possible. They also did an outstanding job taking down the décor and cleaning up so that my new husband and I could enjoy our second line and afterparty without having to worry about going back to the venue to clean up. When we returned to our hotel room much later that night, all of our items, including personal items that we had left in the venue space, were all returned to us and neatly stored in our room. We really felt taken care of the entire time. On top of all of this, I really felt like the fee we paid Brandon was an excellent value for the service that we received. I compared Brandon's pricing to other Day-of Coordinators in the New Orleans area, and I can say with certainty that his prices are better that most of the competition, especially for the level of service that you will receive! I would 100% recommend Crimson Quarter Weddings to any bride, groom or individual wishing to host a party/event in the New Orleans or broader Louisiana and Mississippi area!

We shape atmosphere, guide the guest experience, and orchestrate each moving part with clarity and intention. Accepting a limited number of celebrations each year allows us to deliver thoughtful leadership and a deeply personalized approach — because a wedding of consequence deserves nothing less.

​From the moment we first spoke with Reverie & Riot, we knew we had found our people. Planning a wedding is challenging enough, but planning a truly unusual, vampire-themed, Gothic wedding felt like a monumental task—one that most planners would simply not understand. Reverie & Riot didn't just understand it; they embraced it, elevated it, and executed it flawlessly. ​ ​Our concept was intricate and demanded a high degree of theatrical flair, from the 'blood' red and deep black color palette to the candlelight atmosphere and the specific, dramatic flow of the ceremony. Reverie & Riot's creativity is unmatched. They took our vague, spooky ideas and transformed them into a sophisticated, genuinely beautiful, and perfectly themed event. They sourced vendors and decor that truly fit our niche vision, creating an ambiance that was both dramatic and deeply romantic. ​Despite the unconventional nature of our requests, Reverie & Riot maintained the highest level of professionalism and organization throughout the entire process. Communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring. They handled every logistical challenge—especially those unique to a themed event—with calm expertise, allowing us to relax and actually enjoy being the 'Master and Mister of the Manor' on our wedding day. ​ ​Our wedding was nothing short of a masterpiece. Our guests were absolutely blown away, saying it was the most memorable and unique wedding they had ever attended. Every detail, from the coffin-shaped place cards to the late-night fog machine entrance, was perfect. If you have a highly specific, niche, or unconventional wedding vision, Reverie & Riot is the only choice. They will not only make it happen but will make it better than you ever imagined. ​We are eternally grateful for their talent and dedication. They gave us the perfectly ghoulish and unforgettable day we dreamed of!

New Orleans Weddings & Events LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first consultation, Sue and her team demonstrated a speedy communication style and were always available to help address any of our questions or concerns. On the day of our wedding, the flawless execution of the plan by Sue, Nicole, and Paige was truly impressive. They worked tirelessly as little fairies, flying around and ensuring that every last detail was perfect. Sue and the day-of coordinators eased all of our worries, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We are so grateful to the New Orleans Weddings & Events team for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true.

Pennywell Events started in the name of passion; passion for a good party, for an elegant and personal experience, but mostly passion for creating a spectacular event. Hi! I'm Alicia, the owner/lead planner/"it" girl of Pennywell Events. I absolutely love to plan weddings, no really, it's what I have dreams about most nights. I worked in the NYC fashion industry for about 5yrs, and while it wasn't what I was hoping for, it did give this New Orleans native the opportunity to move back to Louisiana. It also gave me the chance to expand my knowledge and eventually find out that I really wanted to plan weddings!

I can’t say enough good things about Pennywell Events. From our first call, she understood my “crash my elopement” vision and was all in. We traveled from Michigan to New Orleans wanting something between an elopement and a full wedding, no easy task, especially without a firm guest count. She handled everything flawlessly, planning for 20–30 guests (we had 23), securing a stunning dinner venue, and creating an elevated, intimate experience. The second line she arranged was unforgettable and still talked about by our guests, and the photographer she connected us with was perfect, giving us the best photos around the city. As an out of state bride, I felt completely taken care of. She brought our vision to life better than I imagined and at a price point that exceeded expectations. Truly an amazing experience.

Congratulations, you’re engaged! We are so honored to work with couples from all walks of life to create a day that is uniquely you. On your wedding day, you’ll have a team to advocate for you, be by your side and help you pull off a celebration that’s one to remember.

We hired Michelle Knutson for our November 2025 Palm Springs wedding and truly could not be happier with our experience. We had a fairly small event, so we went with the day-of-coordinator package. Michelle truly went above and beyond just the day-of coordinating. She coordinated a couple intros zooms, got in touch with our venue and all of our vendors beforehand and brought us solutions when we realized we were going to be rained on. The day of she was a straight shooter - direct and ran a tight ship. But she was also warm, friendly and upbeat. Her assistant even took care of my dog for me and made sure he was fed and walked! We are forever grateful to her and her team for making our day so special. 10/10 recommend!

Mindi Phillips was my Destination Wedding Planner. She's very responsive, knowledgeable, and has great relationships with resorts. Any time I had a question or concern, she was very thorough in her answers to make me feel more at ease. From the beginning of choosing a resort, to going over the contract to communicating with me through the day of my wedding (and after), Mindi was fantastic. I love working with Beloved Getaways! I would recommend this company to any bride wishing for a smooth wedding process!

My husband and I booked Lindsey hoping to make our lives easier when it came time for the wedding. Best decision ever. She was on top of everything and fixed any problem we could’ve had without us even knowing until days later. Couldn’t have imagined our day without her!!
