With a shared passion for all things that embody NOLA—Creole cuisine, distinctive music, and the Mardi Gras culture—Jenessa and Jake knew that tying the knot in the “Big Easy”  was the right choice. So with the help of their planner Alexis Nelson, the pair brought to life an intimate and quintessential New Orleans wedding filled with character, bohemian touches, and a festive vibe. And it was a total blast!
This couple started with a beautiful courtyard ceremony at The Pharmacy Museum. Bamboo chairs and a stunning arch with lush blooms and feathery accents perfectly complemented the tropical jungle aesthetic. After tying the knot, they took the celebration to the streets with the famous second-line parade. In a fun turn of events, the street brass band escorted them to the reception at St. Ann Cottage—another romantic courtyard venue featuring antique decor and a stone fountain. And in true New Orleans fashion, they danced the night away while enjoying bananas foster under glimmering fairy lights.  Their big day revolved around sharing the vibrant, magical, and eclectic experience this world-renowned city has to offer.
