Outstanding Service and Excellent Value

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!

75th birthday pajama party

In December, 2023 I decided to have a 75th birthday party. I hired Crimson Weddings and Events for my 75th birthday celebration. From the very first consultation they were all in. They demonstrated a good understanding of my vision and brought it to life with their creativity. Throughout the planning process Crimson Quarter Wedding and Events met on zoom every Monday from January thru June. They were so easy to work with.
I rented a beautiful mansion in New Orleans. The planning process was easy with our meetings. I was having a pajama party and the house itself was beautiful. It did not need much improvement. It was a two and a half day party with the main dinner and party on Saturday evening. Brandon, Adam and Mary were on the scene the whole time. The main dinner table was absolutely beautiful.
During the event most everything ran smoothly. They even prepared a delicious breakfast for us one of the mornings . It was absolutely delectable.
Hiring Crimson Quarter Weddings and Events was a good decision I made for my party. Their personalities were friendly and real. It wasn't just another job, I would hire them again.
