The two weddings were absolutely beautiful! The blushing brides were stunning in their gowns and the grooms were so handsome in their tuxes. It felt truly special to be able to participate in these very important events in their lives.
Clearly, these were very magical moments for everyone involved!
The first of the two ceremonies was a very classic, traditional event. The gorgeous couple stood up in front of their nearest and dearest to pledge their love forever, and they were the picture perfect family,with their adorable red-headed son as the only person standing up with them in the wedding. There was barely a dry eye in the courtyard.
After the ceremony, it was time to add a little New Orleans flair to the mix. They picked up the NOLA tradition of second lining around the French Quarter to get to their reception, which was actually right next door to the hotel at the Court of Two Sisters!
The first wedding (pictured above left) was just a small intimate gathering, with probably only about 45 guests. The second wedding (pictured above right) was a much bigger event, with about 80 guests in attendance. It's amazing the difference moving around and resetting chairs within the courtyard can make to the atmosphere!
While the second wedding ceremony was bigger and more formal, the couple decided to eschew from tradition a bit. Instead of exchanging rings, they decided it would be more fun to take a selfie! Everyone got a pretty good laugh out of that. But what better way to celebrate than a picture?
Then, after some drinks, it was time for them to head off with their second line and head on over to the reception at Muriel's.
Both ceremonies ended up being wonderful events that the staff at the Hotel Maison de Ville are so proud to be able to say we were apart of. We look forward to hosting many more events like them!
