Sidney Donaldson Photography 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $500

I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years now and love every single one. The love, the joining of 2 people, and the fun of having everyone together. I strive to have every single important moment captured to remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew from the start that our wedding would be a small, intimate affair, and we wanted a photographer who could capture the special moments without being intrusive. Sidney was absolutely perfect! Communication was a breeze. Sidney was always responsive, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. He arrived early arrived and with an assistant and both blended seamlessly into the background. They captured candid moments of our family and friends, as well as some beautiful posed portraits. We received the sneek peak very quickly and the only "hard part" is picking from all the many photos to move on to the final gallery!

Love is a wild ride, just like your wedding day will surely be. Soak it up, it’s going to move fast and be filled with magic. My work is to document all of it, with a little finessing here and there. Your wedding photos will mean more to you as time passes and thus my goal is to create graceful, timeless images of you and your loved ones. As a wedding photographer, I am emotion-focused. My job is to capture all the smiles, the tears, the laughs, and the romance of the day in its entirety.

The best photographers in NOLA! We were so pleased to work with Linka and Eyoel. They were professional and easy to work with. We felt that they were really able to capture the feel and emotions we wanted in our wedding photos. They really hustled to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. We added some real film shots and they were so worth it! The colors and feel are so different and beautiful.

  • Starts at $425

What some of you may or may not know is that I have two superpowers. During the day, I teach middle school English Language Arts. In the evenings, I turn sugar & flour into sensational works of delicious, edible art. I've been teaching for 11+ years and baking for over 40 years. ​ Both are my passions. As much joy as I get out of teaching, baking is the icing on the cake! About 11 years ago, I turned my hobby baking into a "side hustle" that grew into a thriving business. The journey has been filled with many sweet successes. I look forward to meeting with you and becoming a part of your beautiful story.

I ordered a birthday cake for my husband the cake was moist and delicious Lo was very professional paid attention to everything that I asked for will definitely be ordering again thank you Lo for the amazing birthday cake!!

Natalie made us feel at ease from the second we met her with her positivity and energy. We were so nervous we weren't going to get the photos we wanted at our location, but Natalie led the way and made it happen! She was a complete joy to work with and have by our side on our day. The finished photos are everything we could have hoped for—she captured our special day and our vibe perfectly, and we will treasure the photos forever.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Hannah was so easy, and the photos from our wedding were exactly what I wanted. I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I spent enjoying my wedding and guests, and Hannah's style was perfect for this – we got our posed portraits done quickly, and the rest of the time she was able to capture what was actually taking place at the wedding. In terms of pre-wedding prep, we met once before I signed the contract and then again about a month before the wedding to nail down details. Hannah was very communicative throughout the whole process, and she turned around 25 beautiful pictures within a week of the wedding for us to share around. I just got 200 more pictures back, and they are stunning. Hannah is such a talent, and I highly recommend her.

Hey hey! My name is Jess and I’m the owner and stylist for Jessica Jackson Hair. I always loved styling hair and fell into the wedding industry at the end of 2020 and never looked back. I specialize in clean, romantic updos, party ponys, and glam waves. I have learned from the best in the hairstyling business, Tanya Styles and Cara Clynn, and take my education very seriously because I believe I can always be better for my brides.

After a horrible hair & makeup trial with another vendor two months out from my wedding I thought I was doomed. When my planner recommended Jessica, I didn't think I had a chance at her having availability on my day, but I was wrong! Jessica is completely amazing. From hair trial to day of, she does everything to make you absolutely stunning on your big day. She tweaked my updo until it was just right. My bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and Flower Girl all looked their best thanks to Jessica. I will 100% be recommending her to all of my friends!

If you're looking for a unique outdoor venue and a stress-free planning process, we are the perfect spot for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our 100 person wedding at Paradigm Gardens in April of 2024 was perfect. For starters, their Private Events Director Karen is unparalleled. Communication was clear and consistent from the very beginning, and we never felt like they were trying to upsell us. As two more laid-back brides, she made sure we didn't overlook any important details. If your food is the most important aspect of your wedding, stop reading this and call Paradigm Gardens to book now. Our budget was fairly limited, but Chef Pat over at Karibu Kitchen (Paradigm Gardens' Catering) made the most of every dollar we spent. The food and bar packages were, hands down, the best we encountered at any venue in New Orleans. We had so much fun designing our custom menu with Chef Pat, and the tasting at Tchoup yard was one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Our family and friends still tell us it was the best food they've ever had at any wedding. The team even went out of their way to make sure our bar included our favorite brand of pickle vodka shots which turned out to be one of the highlights of the night. The location in Central City was perfect. It allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner downtown, and also take our pre-ceremony pictures at Audubon Park without requiring much driving time to and from the venue. The lush garden was more than we could have asked for as a backdrop. We said our vows in a short ceremony then watched the sunset over cocktails and dinner. The jasmine was in full bloom which made for awesome photos. The goats were a big hit with our wedding guests and the outdoor kitchen acted as a sort of fiery centerpiece to the whole evening. We had a local DJ playing New Orleans bounce and spent the majority of the night on the dance floor under the string lights. Without a massive budget, we anticipated having to compromise on a lot of aspects to be able to afford a wedding in New Orleans, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. We will forever be grateful to the folks at Paradigm Gardens for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

Hi y'all! The Zola Profile is new, but I've shot over 1400 weddings. Well over one hundred reviews on other platforms if you need testemonials! I live in New Orleans, so the bulk of my work is in South Louisiana, but I travel all over the world for weddings and leisure. You'll see that my editing style is very timeless. I do not go super dark, or super light and airy. You will also notice a lot of genuinely organic looks from my couples! I like to keep it fun!

Hiring Brad to photograph our wedding was a great experience. He was responsive to our questions and easy to work with. Brad is always friendly, fun, and professional. The pictures from that day beautifully captured our wedding ceremony and reception.

Elysian Events Catering

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $31

The first wedding we catered was our own! Hi, we are Jen and Brandon, and we created Elysian Events to share our love of the exceptional cuisine of Louisiana with you. We have been a part of many special events since that first one, and we always bring our passion and decades of professional hospitality experience to meet every occasion. Get in touch with us today, and we can begin to bring your vision for your perfect day to life!

Hands down the best and easiest vendor to work with! I can’t recommend them enough, Elysian Events truly went above and beyond to make our day so special. First and foremost - the food was absolutely delicious. We were so impressed by the amazing menu options, it was very difficult to choose because everything sounded so good! We heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about how impeccable the food was. We had several guests who were vegan and gluten-free. Elysian Events gave us numerous options on their menu to choose from, and also worked with us to swap ingredients around to be more GF/V friendly - like tortilla chips instead of pita in the hors d'oeuvre or making sure the dressing on the salad was vegan friendly. It was so important for us to provide a delicious meal to our guests with dietary restrictions, Elysian Events made it so easy! Amelia is a rockstar. We were on a tight budget and I did much of the planning and coordinating myself. Amelia walked us through everything and quickly responded to all of our questions, big and small - from catering options, to menu signage, trash, making sure we had a stand for the cake, and more! Elysian Events also went above and beyond to accommodate us with a regional wedding tradition. In my part of Ohio we have a cookie table tradition, where the family makes dozens and dozens of cookies. In my case my mom and Aunt drove about 600 cookies down! Elysian Events not only helped by supplying trays for the cookies, but to tray them and set them out once dinner service was complete. I’m so grateful for how incredibly accommodating they were and how seamless everything was. I can’t recommend them enough!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

My dream for Nola Darlings Photography is to create a safe and inclusive space for all people. No matter who you love, how you love, or what you look like you deserve to have amazing photos. Let’s face it, a lot of what we see out there just isn’t relatable. The vibe might seem very relaxed but I’ve been behind the camera (professionally) for over 10 years and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography. I was being published in magazines in Orlando before I graduated from college. I just like to use everything I’ve learned over those many years to make it feel incredibly easy and even fun, yes fun, for my clients.

We’ve worked with Nola Darlings for a number of weddings and love working together. Ashley is so sweet and takes such incredible photos of our florals. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fun & talented photographer!

With 5,000+ sq ft of living and event space as well as 1/3 acre of gardens, The Mazant is a historic mansion located in the heart of New Orleans' Bywater arts district - and about 1.5 miles from the French Quarter (30 minutes walking or 8 minutes by Uber). We are close to Bacchanal, The Joint, The Country Club, Elizabeth's, and The Music Box. It's perfect for family reunions, wedding parties, company off-sites, and other large groups.

We had an incredible wedding weekend at the Mazant this past March. Everything about the place was beautiful, and our overall experience met all of our needs and exceeded all of our expectations. We had booked the Mazant sight unseen based upon a recommendation from our wedding planner, who had herself gotten married there. We weren't exactly sure how it would be in real life, and we are beyond grateful for her recommendation and that we took the leap! We rented the whole place for ourselves and for some of our wedding party to sleep there. We had 18 people (all adults with a mix of couples and friends) staying there, and it never felt crowded. Each room is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen and overall common space layout is delightful and so well designed. They have everything you might need for large events (LOTS of fridge space). The pool and hot tub and outdoor seating areas are divine. On Friday night we hosted our welcome event (160 people) in the yard, and it was exactly what we envisioned. On Saturday we had our ceremony (170) in the yard, and it was also perfect. We had enough room for most people to sit, and about 20-30 standing in the back. We then second lined from the Mazant to our reception location. Interacting with Jeff the owner and Kevin the house manager was great - they were both super helpful, responsive, and organized. We are already talking about coming back and renting this space for friend or family trips!

We (Nola Dukes Band) have been booking BIG FUN BRASS BAND over the last 6 years for all of our clients requesting second lines. They are the most dynamic Second Line Band in town. Corey Bostic is the band leader and organizer. He not only delivers the most energetic Second Lines, but is a great human being and always makes sure that you get what you expect from a true brass band. Because of our reputation as The Nola Dukes Band, it's important that all of our musicians and recommended colleagues deliver excitement every single time. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!!! If we get to work together on the same event, we are accustomed to playing together in order to make transitions easier and, because of our history, the excitement is tangible when we see our friends and colleagues enter the space! Corey also works directly with City Hall on a regular basis, he is one of the FIRST to receive all of the second line info from the City of New Orleans as he coordinates multiple second lines every week.

I am so excited to write this review for the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar Team. We live in Maryland, and while I have family who is local to NOLA, we were taking a chance on a venue we had never visited. But, even working with Chloe before our contract was signed, I felt confident that all of my questions were getting answered, and that even the questions I hadn’t thought to ask, would still be taken care of. And I was right. We worked with their team from June 2023 to our wedding weekend August 2024 and Chloe and I slowly worked through every possible detail before we arrived. We got to visit the venue in January and they were such gracious hosts to us and my family. We even got to meet more of the team, all just as warm and kind. During our visit they treated us to a bar tasting to curate our menu with their award winning bar tenders, as well as had our caterers come in to customize our menu. And the food, was of course New Orleans level taste and quality. DELICIOUS. We were huge fans of all the vendors they suggested, from the band, to the bakeries for our cake, to the amazing photographer and videographer skills you see in the photos attached. They prioritized our needs, and always listened to what we requested, while also providing expert guidance when we weren’t sure what was the best plan. Even in the middle of the thunderstorms that arrived the week leading up to our day, they ensured our plan was in tact with a tent that was so beautifully decorated I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of the original layout. As our guests arrived to stay for the weekend, and filed in on Saturday for the wedding, we continued to receive such beautiful feedback on how attentive they were to guests before, during, and after the wedding. We plan to continue to be visitors of this awesome hotel and bar to reminisce our magical day, but I want to make sure other couples get the chance to experience the care, warmth, and amazing service provided by the Royal Frenchmen team for their special day.

WE LOVE TIM & KRISTA!!! They absolutely blew us away with their excellent work -- true creative masterpieces! We loved getting the 1-minute teaser video and the longer highlight reel of our wedding and were elated with how well they turned out. The way Tim and Krista match the video with the music and cut all the scenes together is truly beautiful. They literally went out on a limb for us in getting some awesome footage. They definitely exceeded our expectations, and we 100% feel that hiring them was the BEST decision we made in wedding planning. I guarantee, you won't regret it. We feel so blessed and grateful that we found them and had the privilege of working with them. Plus, they are kind, friendly, and servant-hearted -- a joy to work with. We have received tons of compliments on their work, and we will surely treasure these videos for the rest of our lives. Tim and Krista, we love you guys and thank God for you!

Chateau LeMoyne - French Quarter, A Holiday Inn Hotel Is an affordable venue for an intimate venue that will comfortably hold 75-80 guests. Our experience was fantastic from the start. I had no clue what I was doing but requested info from venues on the Knot. This venue was by far the most professional, their info “packet” isn’t a pdf… it’s a website! They were by far the most affordable venue. The space rental includes tables, chairs, high top tables, etc. (which is something you may find you have to ask about the hidden cost of). They contract with Messina’s Catering & Events and our Catering Manager Lauren was a dream to work with! Below I share, a portion of the email I sent to her and Lizzy, the Sales Manager at the venue: “Thank you again for a wonderful wedding weekend! I cannot tell you both what an amazing time we had. We got so many compliments about the venue and the food. Multiple people told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Knowing that we chose not to do a lot of normal wedding traditions and kind of just did our own thing.... I think that really comes down to how beautiful the venue was, how great the food was, and how wonderful all the staff were to all of our guests. Everyone from the valet to the front desk staff, the servers and bartenders, the setup crew, and both of you! Lizzy was so right about the Second Line, I loved it more than I thought I would, and our guests are still raving about it multiple days later. And Lauren you were so supportive of all of our ideas and I truly think I would have gone crazy without you!” Without a doubt one of the best decisions we made was to have our wedding at Chateau LeMoyne! There was plenty of space in our suite to get ready and to get some beautiful shots. Our Photographer: https://jblanchardphoto.com/ who I also highly recommend. Jordan and Steven are the best! I swear my mother and sister had to insist that they take a break and eat!!

Welcome to Crimson Quarter Weddings and Events, your ultimate partner for a wedding that’s anything but ordinary. Based in the French Quarter, New Orleans, we offer nearly every essential wedding planning service in-house, making us your one-stop shop for unforgettable celebrations. We bring a modern, fresh approach—no outdated traditions or stuck-up attitudes here! From day one, we’re all about flexibility and ensuring you have exactly what you need, when you need it. And as your needs evolve, we’re right here with you, adapting every step of the way.

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!

I didn't know it at first, but photography has often been a meaningful part of my life. My dad's prints of birds at the Audubon Zoo hung in our bathrooms, and I often wondered how he took them. By the time I was in high school, I regularly had a disposable in my pocket. It was exciting to capture those brief moments and the people in them, and still so to be able to look back. Connecting with others in a positive way has always been a passion of mine, and thankfully this compliments my role as a photographer. I hope to make a positive impact in this world through the lens, and would love to help tell your story.

Stephen was so lovely and accommodating, helping us make our short-notice elopement extra special and romantic. We were instantly so comfortable with him, and his ease and familiarity with the city made him the perfect scout for great images. We love the pictures -- they totally captured our vibe -- and spending time with Stephen felt like hanging with a fun friend. Everything you could want!

Hi! Theresa here! I am a thirty something wife and mother who has been shooting weddings for almost a decade! I made a promise to myself after my own wedding photographs were not ideal, that I would commit to documenting life as it unfolds not just for me, but for others. I don't want you to feel the way that I felt looking at my wedding photographs. My clients keep me inspired and they are a constant reminder of how much joy and work it takes to stay married to the love of your life. My style is editorial but approachable and I thrive working with couples who have a genuine heart and open mind.

DJ Ronnie Roux

New Orleans, LA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,450

Experience is everything when it comes to picking a DJ for your event. Having more than 22 years experience creating parties, let’s make your party a good one. Starting out at the world famous Cat’s Meow on Bourbon Street in 1995, I learned to play music for a wide variety of age groups. After working several years at Cat’s Meow, I transferred to Generations Hall in the Warehouse District. I have been a DJ there for the last 17 years providing music for every type of event imaginable. Outside of playing events at Generations Hall, I work with corporate event planners, brides and grooms, high schools, and charities.

I hired Ronnie for my wedding last year, and he was an excellent DJ! He worked with us every step of the way: he made sure to play songs I recommend, but also helped make suggestions to keep the party going! He arrived at the location on time, and this is important because the day of the wedding was hectic and overwhelming!

King Marlon's Pastries

  • Cakes & desserts

We are an online Dessert Shoppe based in New Orleans, La. Sourcing the freshest and most authentic ingredients. Using new and old-fashioned techniques to ensure the highest quality our customers expect. We specialize in Custom Cakes, Donut Pastries, Catering Events, pre-packaged Baked Goods, Party Treats & more.

King Marlon's Pastries was amazing in every aspect - communication, quality, taste, cost, and presentation! Marlon was amazing in accommodating our dietary requests. We are vegan and (mostly) sugar-free. We'd tried other bakeries but the quality was not great. We would have rather gotten a non-vegan cake that our guests could enjoy than have a vegan cake just to say it's vegan. However, King Marlon's Pastries did a phenomenal job! He was responsive and communicated clearly - he was also transparent about the options he could make for us and answered questions about ingredients willingly and enthusiastically. The presentation for the tasting was also amazing - he went above and beyond which gave us confidence in knowing he'd go above and beyond for our actual wedding cake. The cake itself tasted great - it was moist, not overly sweet, and complex enough to enjoy at a wedding. Thank you, Marlon! I look forward to being a repeat customer for other special cake needs.

The Marigny Opera House, alone in its rustic beauty and authentic New Orleans charm, is a special place that values both preservation and progress. A solar-paneled roof shelters newly restored stained glass windows in this decommissioned 1853 German Catholic Church. When you plan an event here, your patronage enables us to continue supporting local artists through our highly successful nonprofit arts programming. We are home to a ballet company, 2-3 weekly music performances, and numerous other culture bearers of New Orleans, from theatre to opera and beyond. You bolster the vibrant arts landscape we have endeavored to offer New Orleans and those who call it home. With your support, you join us in the mission of bringing the arts to all. We hope you bring your event here and give your guests an authentic New Orleans experience unlike any other.

Bill and the team at Marigny Opera House were a breeze to work with! He was very thorough and responsive when we had any questions and his spirit in general was so kind. We wanted a venue with true New Orleans history and beauty, and the MOH provided that no matter if we were out front, inside, or in the courtyard. If you're looking for a venue outside of the Quarter, we HIGHLY recommend. Our guests were very impressed, and we can't wait to return to experience some of their performing arts shows. Thank you MOH!
