I don't know about you, but with planning everything for my wedding, it was one less thing I had to worry about. I didn't have to go 100 miles out my way and waist an entire sat. In and out in under 2 hrs and he hand delivers the pics when he is done.
     Yes I will be the first to admit that a male boudoir photographer made me a little nervous. All I can say is that I felt more embarrassed about doubting a male photographer. The sweetest man I have ever met (not to mention how cute he is). I have never felt more relaxed and at ease with a photographer. For those who don't feel comfortable he even brings his wife so another female is there, or encourages you to bring a friend. He also offers bridal party parties. All bridesmaids get 30 min of shoot time for a small price and the brides session is free!

Also....The ceremony and reception are at the Audubon Tea Room and I was trying to avoid having people drink and drive. Since we will be staying in the quarter and cabs are easier to come by I was thinking people could take a cab to the wedding. I was hoping to be able to provide transportation back to the quarter. I'm assuming since there will be approx. 275 guests that I'll have to charter a bus for 3 hours.

Also, the main selling point for me was that they offer one-way transfers (pay for pick up @ Point A, drop off @ Point B only, as opposed to 3 or 4-hour minimums). I had a very difficult time finding limo companies that did not require a minimum number of hours.  I am having a second line from the Cathedral to my reception and only need pick up from the hotel to the church and that's it.  Celebrity's ability to charge for just what I need cut the transportation cost literally in half.

Just wanted to give them a recommendation while it was on my mind! ]]> Fleur de Lis Event Center in Mandeville https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/760095/fleur-de-lis-event-center-in-mandeville Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:32:22 +0000 Louisiana-New Orleans shaylapetties20 760095@/discussions

I've been searching the threads like mad to find suggestions for hair stylists and have not found too many that are actually in a salon. I have emailed the onsite stylists (i.e. Just Face It, Two Sisters, etc) but am interested in a place I can actually walk to or have a short drive to, also. I am googling places but would love to hear personal recommendations.

I'm wondering if any OOT brides have any experience with getting their dress down there? 

I've read in the past that if the airline has room, they will hold the dress up front in a closet.  But in speaking with JetBlue, they are telling me they don't have room for this.  JetBLue is specifically the airline that someone else referenced as doing this, so i'm wondering if it's just something they cannot commit to, but if they're not super packed they'll do it?

How did everyone / does everyone plan on getting their dress down there?

Suggestions for a Plan B?

Thanks in advance!
