    Exceeded Expectations

    We had our 10 year vowel renewal this month and we made the great decision to hire Firefly Ambiance. By the time we found Firefly Ambiance it was only 2 months until our event date. They had a phone number that I could call (which can be rare these days) and fortunately, they had an opening for us! Richard was amazing to work with. He designed centerpieces with our theme and color scheme that were perfect for our event. He arranged the lighting that we requested within our budget. Everything was beautiful on our vowel renewal date! It was even better than we expected. Truly cannot say enough about having a great experience working with Firefly Ambiance!

    Richard is the best! Made the wedding stunning!

    Richard is so amazing. He made the ceremony and reception absolutely stunning. Able to accommodate the colors and texture of flowers that I wanted. Everything was so beautiful. He is so friendly and professional. I loved working with him. I HIGHLY recommend Firefly Ambience. You will not be disappointed.

    Romantic, Stunning Artistry

    Event: We had Firefly Ambiance provide decor and florals for our wedding at Chateau LeMoyne. They decorated the bar room (“Royal Room”), the ballroom (“Dauphine Room”), and the Courtyard. And let me tell you - it was truly stunning!


    People: We mostly worked with Richard. Anytime I got anxious about planning or anything wedding-related, one phone conversation with him and it was all better. Richard was so patient with us. I wasn’t sure what I wanted for a decor style or florals, and I showed him photos of things I liked and he said “I got it!”. And yes, he did get it! Better than I could have imagined. So easy to work with and such a lovely person!


    Decor / space: We used some of their tables for a Memorial Table and Guest Book Table. We used lots of lanterns and candles throughout the space, some piping and draping around the “stage” area and to cover up a statue. He dreamed up such a dreamy and romantic vibe that really transformed the space to such a beautiful area. And the bouquets & floral arrangements. OH MY GOODNESS. I told Richard “I like purple and white and organic looking” and wow, did he come through. I got SO many compliments on my bouquet - absolutely stunning! And the bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous! The corsages and boutonnières… just wow. To create what he did during a flower shortage… just, wow. He’s an artist!


    Experience: Couldn’t be better. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

    Couldn't be happier!!

    I reached out to Firefly Ambiance early on in my wedding planning process, without really knowing what it is I wanted or how to go about starting a conversation regarding event rentals, and my gosh am I glad I did not delay! After my initial inquiry, I had a phone call with Richard, who turned out to be my wedding planning knight in shining armor. Richard spent an exorbitant amount of time over the last two years (thanks to COVID) patiently discussing all of the reception details with us, listening to my vision, providing tons of ideas and advice, answering my unending number of questions, and ultimately turning my wedding day dream into a reality. Richard also took the lead on my flower arrangements after I told him that I had not yet booked a florist and was avoiding doing so because it felt like Pandora's Box. He was extremely reassuring throughout the entire process, and made some of the more daunting details and decisions fun and easy. Our guests were blown away by the cocktail hour and reception design, décor and florals. It has been just shy of a month from our wedding and we are still getting calls from family and friends talking about how beautiful and elegant everything was - which is exactly what I was going for and Richard pulled it off even better than I could have imagined. We truly feel so lucky to have worked with Richard and the Firefly team, we knew we were in good hands from the very start!

    Absolutely gorgeous and great to work with

    We used them for our wedding and cannot believe how great everything looked. Actually even better than we could have hoped! We received compliment after compliment from guests, and cannot thank Richard and the rest of the team enough for their help.

    Fantastic!

    Richard and the Firefly team were wonderful to work with for our October wedding! We focused on bistro lighting, candles, and bar rentals and he helped me make adjustments throughout the process as I tried to make up my mind! Then the day of it was like magic watching everything come together. The lighting is truly what made our venue look so special and I can't thank this team enough for making our day shine!

    Ceremony and reception venues were dreamy and cascading bouquet was everything!

    If I could give Firefly Ambiance 6 stars I would! They were such a pleasure to work with and I'm still getting compliments on our reception and ceremony décor. They also handled all of our floral arrangements, which were incredibly beautiful. Everything was absolutely stunning and they really went above and beyond!

    We did a destination wedding in New Orleans, so I was anxious about not being intimately familiar with the ceremony and reception spaces and layout, and I didn't have a solid vision regarding décor, but that was before I met the amazingly talented, Mr. Richard Bartholomew. The second I spoke with Richard, I was no longer stressed. After a short talk, it was clear that he understood the vision and vibe I was going for and all anxiety was lifted. I could tell right away that he knows what he's doing, and while I tend to err on the side of controlling and involved in every detail, I was happy and comfortable with leaving it up to him and letting him work his magic. Everything was even more incredible than I could have imagined and I was blown away entering both the reception and ceremony venues!

    Richard also did all of our beautiful wedding flowers; bouquets, boutonnieres, table centerpieces, ceremony podium, etc... AND since we aren't from the area, he helped us find a caterer for our welcome party, a reverend, and a cupcake vendor. Richard knows the city and has experience working with these vendors and all of his suggestions were spot on. He has an eye for detail, knows his flowers, and is the utmost professional. He was very kind, helpful, and easy to communicate throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Firefly Ambiance and Richard for décor and florals for any event. I don't have enough great things to say about them.

    Amazing lighting and mood for our reception

    Richard and Co. are amazing to work with. We didn't originally plan on adding extra lighting for our reception, but were convinced by a friend and it turns out was one of the best decision we made. Their candle walls and candelabras and vases are truly magnificent and we cannot thank them enough.

    Beautiful Result, Tasteful Elegant, Fun to work with

    We worked with Richard Bartholomew over at Firefly Ambiance and thoroughly enjoyed it! He was so upbeat, fun and creative. He instantly understood what we were looking for an delivered! I found him to be incredibly helpful and friendly. We had about a year and half postponement due to Covid19 and he was always there to support us and pick us up when we needed it. He was flexible and very easy to work with! The decorations were beautiful, elegant and tasteful. We were over the moon with the result.

    Firefly Was Perfect!

    Firefly was a dream to work with throughout the entire wedding process. We flew from Brooklyn to New Orleans to look at the furniture and glass votives that they offered and they were so kind, patient and thoughtful throughout the whole meeting. We ended up getting long wooden farm tables from them, in addition to a couch, coffee tables and décor and everything they brought into the wedding elevated the atmosphere. Richard, in particular, was responsive via email and wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend them.

    Created A Perfect Atmosphere

    Richard at Firefly was able to take our vision for my daughter's wedding and make it more amazing that we could have ever imagined! I can't sing their praises enough!

    It's no surprise Jennifer and the team are on every venue's preferred vendor list because THEY ARE GREAT. I told them what I was looking for and they brought it: uplighting, gobo, pin lights. It was all executed perfectly, even despite the hurricane that made us move up 3 hrs on short notice. My coordinator said Jennifer was the most responsive and ready of any vendor through hours of what-if panic scenarios the hurricane caused. THE SHORT STORY: This is an extremely professional outfit and they do high-quality work.

    I cannot say enough great things about Firefly Ambiance. They transformed an already beautiful venue to the setting of my dreams. Every detail was perfect and Jennifer and Richard were a pleasure to work with. I didn't really know what I wanted and only had vague ideas and they were able to take my vague ideas and turn them into a gorgeous reality. They worked within my budget and had very high quality decor. The guests raved about how stunning everything is. If I ever have a party in NOLA, I know who I'm calling.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and the Firefly Ambiance team! I was unsure about exactly how I wanted my wedding to be decorated but I knew I wanted mostly candles with minimal flowers. I am a very visual person and it is hard for me to imagine what a space will look like unless I see it. Jennifer was patient with me and helped me through the process. It just took a few meetings and phone calls for Jennifer to make my dream become a reality. One piece of advice - trust Jennifer and her vision because she is extremely talented and she will make sure your big day is perfect. I am so thankful to Jennifer and her team for making sure we had a beautifully decorated ceremony and reception - I HIGHLY recommend Firefly!

    After doing a lot of research on candle companies, my husband and I decided on Firefly Ambiance and I am so glad we did. They were so helpful and communicative during the whole wedding planning process. They helped make my reception look like a fairytale. The courtyard was adorned with chandeliers and beautiful candles.. It literally took my breath away. I can never thank Firefly Ambiance enough for making my dreams come true. I 100% recommend Firefly Ambiance.. They will NOT let you down!

    Hands down best decision I made for lighting and decor - Jennifer and her team totally outdid themselves - the execution of the reception decor was truly better than I ever imagined. They are professional, fun, and really know what they're doing. You'd be silly not to hire them!!!

    I was a little on the fence about using a vendor for lighting because we were trying to trim the budget, but we decided to go with Firefly to illuminate our dance floor and the backdrop behind our cake, and I'm SOOO glad that we did!! We got married at Musee Conti, and it looked like a fairytale when we walked in! The lights over the dance floor where exactly what we needed for a little ambiance. We did a large lighting backdrop behind our wedding cake, and it made everything pop! The photos are absolutely stunning. I highly, highly recommend Firefly Ambiance to really make your wedding venues sparkle!

    Firefly Ambiance's reply:

    Emily,

    Thank you so much for the sweetest review! We are honored to have been a part of your wedding and thank you for allowing us to be. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness. We cannot wait to see the photos!! So much fun with decor for your wedding!

    Jennifer and her team were absolutely amazing! Every last detail was exactly what I pictured and my guests would not stop talking about how beautiful the ballroom was decorated. On top of the amazing decor that transformed in ordinary ballroom into a romantic, New Orleans vintage wedding, Jennifer was so nice and professional. They were responsive and on top of everything so I didn't have to worry about a thing. If you want to transform your wedding venue into something you've always dreamed of, Firefly is the answer. They were amazing!

    Jennifer is AMAZING! I originally hired another decorator for my wedding, and I ended up having to fire her because she just wasn't connecting visually with what I wanted. The lady who I hired for my flowers recommend Firefly and WOW, the best recommendation EVER. Jennifer did such an amazing job at my wedding, people are still telling me how gorgeous everything looked! I highly recommend her!!

    I used Firefly Ambiance to bring to life my wedding vision of elegance and romance through the use of candlelight. Jennifer, the owner, worked with me through every step of the design process to make sure my vision was achieved within the budget I set. She was helpful, flexible, and a complete doll to work with! I was extremely satisfied with the entire experience and end result! I would definitely recommend Firefly Ambiance to anyone planning an event that involves candles to achieve the atmosphere they desire.

    We had a destination wedding in the French Quarter so all our planning other than the venue was done by email. Jennifer was very friendly and prompt right from the beginning. She called us so she could get a better idea of what style we were looking for. When we walked into the venue it looked beautiful! We were both so happy with the lighting she put around the courtyard and reception area. It made the venue look romantic and beautiful!
