Stephen Sent on 10/06/2024Outstanding Wedding Planning Experience with Crimson Quarter
We had the pleasure of working with Crimson Quarter for our wedding in New Orleans, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, our experience with Brandon, Adam, and Mary was nothing short of exceptional.
Their professionalism, timely communication, and accommodating nature made the planning process seamless. They guided us in selecting the perfect venue and connected us with top-notch vendors for decorations, wedding cakes, and hotel coordination. Their deep knowledge of New Orleans was invaluable, especially since we had guests traveling from around the world.
Throughout the planning, we faced several changes, but Crimson Quarter was there every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful process feel completely manageable. One of their standout suggestions was the New Orleans second line parade after the ceremony, which turned out to be a massive hit with everyone—an unforgettable experience for us and our guests!
The attention to detail and commitment to making our event perfect were evident in every aspect. Our wedding weekend was a dream come true, and I would absolutely choose Crimson Quarter again for any future events. If you’re looking for a wedding planner in New Orleans, I wholeheartedly recommend Crimson Quarter!

Month of day of coordinating services
Thanks to Brandon and Adam our special day went so smoothly and perfectly. They were able to quickly correct anything that went wrong and had everything done in a timely manner, not to mention how beautiful everything came out. Brandon had experience and knowledge of our special hand fasting ceremony that was useful to us and they even threw in some of their personal decor supplies to pull everything together. Crimson Quarter will always be remembered as a big part of the most important weekend of our lives.

Amazing officiant. Brandon was so wonderful to work with! From day 1, Crimson Quarter took the time to get to know my fiancé and I, and our love story. Which was then incorporated into a BEAUTIFUL ceremony. He had our entire wedding party in tears---there wasn't a dry eye in the building. Thanks for creating such an amazing wedding for us! -

Chris Sent on 04/08/2025Gotta give it time!
We were a bit apprehensive at first. Being the type A personality that's highly organized and not very flexible, the guys came across as unorganized and a bit sloppy. Anxious would be a word I would use in the early weeks of our relationship. Over time, they got to know us better and adapted to our preferences, making communications and planning easier. Their ability to craft --not just a singular day--but multiple events that brilliantly come together in a way that leave guests fully enveloped in a bona fide New Orleans experience. Unique. One-of-a-kind. Memorable. Their commitment to our wedding being a success was obvious from day 1 and we appreciate that we weren't just another pay check. -

Melanie Sent on 10/06/2024A magical evening ! Thanks Crimson Quarter!
My ex husband and I hosted our son’s wedding in New Orleans- ( we are dear friends) strange but true. He is a retired physician with extremely high expectations-so trust me when I say Crimson Quarter exceeded his expectations. In addition to officiating ,planning, coordinating, decorating and many other services ( photography, thanks Adam! ) owner Brandon and crew went above and beyond for our family -
They arrived early, stayed late and took care of additional unexpected guests, cancellations from some guests, getting wheelchairs for the almost 90 yr old grandmother, even assisting with finding a missing vehicle in a parking garage.
Brandon, Adam and Mary were accommodating, professional, while creating a fairy tale wedding for our son. They even planned and organized a 2nd line parade for the wedding !
It was amazing !
All thanks to Crimson Quarter and crew!
We are planning a 90th birthday party in Feb 2025 for our grandmother and we will be using Crimson Quarter for the planning of this party! -

Today is Oct 2,2024 . Crimson Quarter is planning, coordinating, decorating, officiating, photography, just everything for my son’s wedding this Saturday.. my ex husband is a retired physician, type A kinda guy, not easy to please. Brandon and his partners have been true rock stars, especially this week. Multiple changes w guests numbers both for rehearsal and wedding international flights, people coming from different countries, people needing wheelchairs last minute just scratches the surface of this week so far. Oh, The groom didn’t like the printing of some napkins, so two day notice it’s taken care of. Brandon, Adam, and Mary have come through 110% with every single change, every frustrating moment, so I had to write a pre-wedding review! Thanks guys love y’all.. See you Saturday.! Let’s get these kids married!! -

Ashleigh Sent on 09/03/2024The best choice we ever made!
My partner and I recently decided to have an impromptu commitment ceremony in New Orleans. It was nothing short of magical, and I’m thrilled to share our experience. From the moment we arrived, Brandon and Adam went above and beyond to accommodate our sudden request, handling every detail with grace and efficiency. They truly turned what could have been a chaotic situation into a beautifully orchestrated celebration. Despite the extremely short notice, the ceremony was flawlessly executed. Brandon was our officiant, and he had created an amazing script for us that made the occasion feel incredibly special. What truly stood out was the genuine care and enthusiasm of everyone. Their support and dedication to making our night perfect were evident in every interaction. Their warmth and professionalism turned what could have been a stressful experience into one of pure joy and celebration. If you’re looking for someone who can turn any event into a flawless celebration, then you’re in the right place. Their ability to create a memorable experience on such short notice speaks volumes about their dedication to love and their passion for creating beautiful moments.
Thank you Brandon and Adam for making our commitment ceremony so incredibly special. We will cherish the memories forever and are grateful for your role in our love story. -

Brandon advised us well on our micro wedding in NOLA. He was very knowledgeable of the marriage licensing process and has plenty of ideas to offer for our ceremony. We had a lovely ceremony and our licensing process could not have gone better. Added bonus - great tips on where to eat and visit in NOLA. -

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! -

Brandon and Adam were such a pleasure to work with! From start to finish! The communication was great throughout the entire process. Frequent check ins to see if they could further assist. I needed help executing my ideas, literally, and I was so happy to have found Brandon and his husband. They were very supportive even through the many obstacles we faced, internet connection, transportation, opposite work schedules. My wedding day was a dream come true and I literally could not have done it without them! Looking forward to working with them on other projects! -

Karye Sent on 11/13/2024Needs Improvement
We were very excited to work with Brandon and Adam and the CQ team. We hired them for Day-of/ Month of Coordinator Services. I have wedding planning experience, and our venue required a Day-Of coordinator that was not part of our wedding. They seemed to understand our vision and priorities and care, but as our date approached, I had concerns. Communication, even within their team of 3 seemed difficult. Contracts and details we sent were not shared among them. My daughter, the bride was being asked, and messaged, at work repeatedly for things we had already sent. In the last month, as both the bride and I were working up until the day we traveled for this destination wedding, we asked them to make contact with some of our vendors. This seemed too big a task. When it didn't happen, I sent emails, on my breaks. I asked Brandon and his team to send me CC copies of his team's attempts to contact the last vendors we needed to talk to, and this never happened.
The day of the wedding came, and most things went well. I asked Brandon to please manage the timeline and flow. He confirmed that he would. This is what we were paying for. I was not only the mother of the bride, but in the wedding party. He said yes, but... even the seating was not handled. We only had 2 reserved seats (and about 50 guests total). He and Adam both knew from rehearsal who they were for. They brought the signs. Yet when guests asked for clarification, my coordinators couldn't even tell my husband if the "whole row was reserved or not" so someone had to pull me from the bridal suite. I had to tell Brandon to tell the DJ to announce for Cocktails, right after our timeline talk (leaving photos). I had to leave dinner to tell the DJ to cut music for toasts, even though the bride told me she had just told Brandon that they were ready. These are things that I don't understand. A timeline is not always perfect, but a coordinator stays close, in contact, and runs the show so we should not have to. I believe that this team had good intentions going into our event, but I did feel let down by these reoccurring moments of failure to coordinate and run the show.
We had a Second Line parade off site. Prior to the event we had a couple of Zoom meetings where we talked about one of them going with us and one staying for the venue flip. I was surprised to see them both at the parade. While Brandon did help facilitate the late pedicab substitute. The lack of coordinator on site for the flip resulted in the sign in "book" which was a custom-made album, and a surprise gift from the bride to the groom being moved and damaged. It felt like they were making sure to get pictures for themselves, but that is my feeling, and what the priority seemed to be; I cannot state it as fact.
In all we were still having a mostly lovely time until... at the end of the evening, we had special permission from our venue for a splash of an exit. The DJ had the Best Man and Man of Honor join in. Adam, believed that we did not have permission for this. He berated and publicly humiliated my son, who personally invested so much time and love into the wedding and told him that he "Ruined his sister's wedding and broke" our "contract" with the venue. When first asked to apologize, his response was, "Whatever!" and he stormed off. He yelled at the Best man as well. I took him aside and told him that if he had a concern, he should talk to me, as it was my contract with the venue, which he had clearly not read, or he would know that we were not in violation of anything. He also needs to understand that he should speak to the host of the event if he has a concern and never verbally assault a family member or guest. To make this all even worse... we had in part selected Brandon and Adam specifically because they are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and we not only want to support that community, but we have family within the community. We had multiple conversations with them about my Transgender son, the Man of Honor, and the use of proper pronouns and being respectful and supportive. They seemed so supportive in our conversations prior to the event. Both the bride and I talked about this with them, yet especially when Adam got upset and lost it and then after, both he and Brandon misgendered my son multiple times. My son did not have top surgery going into this wedding, being worried he would not be fully recovered. As such, he could not bind for the full event and found it more comfortable to switch outfits. We even took time to explain to the team that this would be the case, and that they were still to use "he/him" pronouns and my son, who poured so much love and effort into this wedding for his twin, was publicly humiliated at the end of it, told by Adam that he ruined it and then misgendered by both of them multiple times. He was broken. The bride and groom and others all affected and none of this was needed and was all caused by Adam.
I could have looked over the lack of coordination and efficiency. I believe that there were good intentions from the start with Brandon especially. But to have now, so many people emotionally devasted by chaos and hurt caused by your coordinator does not feel acceptable. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community does not mean that one has the capacity to create a safe space for all members of that community. I believe that this is a teachable moment for them, and I hope they will educate themselves on how misgendering affects those in the transgender community. Do not tell clients you can deliver on that very important safe space if you cannot 100%. It matters too much, and you both have continued to misgender my son since that night showing your ignorance and lack of accountability with this important matter. Please grow in this area first, then read contracts, treat guests with respect and never berate them, and manage the event. We wish you the best in growth going forward. -

Elizabeth Sent on 05/24/2025Disappointment
Brandon and Adam, to be very generous, overpromised and underdelivered. I could go on and on about the things that they messed up throughout our wedding weekend, but I don’t want to bore anyone with details. I just want other couples, especially LGBTQ couples, to make an informed decision about who they are hiring for their wedding. Many of our frustrations are reflected in other lower star reviews, some of which have suspiciously disappeared since we originally saw them.
Major frustrations include:
A lack of professionalism so apparent that multiple vendors asked “Where did you find those guys?”
Poor communication with guests and vendors, sharing false information, and leading to confusion
Referring to the bride and groom’s sides during our rehearsal (in addition to doing absolutely no prep work for the rehearsal)
Disorganization leading to timing being pushed, leaving less time for later elements of the reception
Offering things outside of the contract that we would have done, but didn’t because they said they’d take care of them, only to learn later that they messed them up
Using the room we had our sweetheart dinner in as storage, coming in and out while we were eating, stressing about set up things that should have already happened, and complaining about each other and disparaging marriage
Continuously finding my wife and I and taking us away from friends and family to ask us questions we’d already answered
Overall, hiring Brandon and Adam added to our stress levels throughout our wedding weekend, when the whole reason we hired coordinators was to reduce our stress. We spent so much time and energy planning our wedding and the details, so it was beyond disappointing to see such little care taken by our coordinators. We didn’t expect things to go perfectly, but we were so disappointed by how many things went poorly despite our planning and foresight. We would have been better off hiring no one.
