    Spectacular

    Torie and Kaycie were a dream come true. Torie was supportive, dedicated, and gave such a calm and comforting presence throughout the whole process. She was our personal fairy godmother! Granting wishes left and right! I had no stress on my shoulders because of how professional, diligent, and organized she was.

    Kaycie was brilliant, as well! Attentive and hard working! She made sure the decor of the reception was put together even better than I could’ve imagined.

    Highly recommend Uncommon Camellia to any couple :)

    Hire Uncommon Camellia!

    My husband and I hired Uncommon Camellia to coordinate our wedding last weekend, and we couldn't be happier! Torie B. and Tori H. were our lead/assistant coordinators, and were both so thorough, professional, and organized. I'd recommend them to anyone in search of a wedding coordinator!

    Uncommon Camellia's reply:

    Thank you for taking the time to write this review for Torie and Tori! We appreciate the feedback so much!

    They are gold.

    Shoutout to Maria and Tori!! I caved and hired a wedding coordinator LESS THAN 3 weeks before my wedding. The price I paid was for my piece of mind.
    They are so worth it! THEY ARE GOLD.

    Uncommon Camellia was recommended by Hailey, our Four Seasons sales representative. Prior to our consultation, my mindset was to cut costs and still very much on the fence about hiring help. The consultation was through a google meet. It was very professional, thorough with all important details discussed. After talking with Maria, I WAS SOLD. At $1,800, I forfeited.

    Luckily, Maria was available on our date and due to our time crunch, she needed deposit and all the vendors’ contracts (I’ve already reserved) ASAP to get started. The very next day, she put gears into motion! The communication to vendors and myself was impeccable! A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and I no longer needed to stress about planning all. by. myself.

    We met in person twice before the big day; once to show Maria around the Four Seasons— this was her canvas, where she would make a plan and twice, for the rehearsal. Maria was PHENOMENAL throughout the whole service from the first minute of meeting her. During the rehearsal, with authority, she instructed us on what to do and how to do, she gave us tips, and was very patient with our kids and silly family members. Her personality was endearing, so lively and full of smiles, had an answer or input for every question. You could tell she loves what she does by the confidence she carries.

    If I were to do this again, I would’ve hired her earlier in the planning process. We love them and we’re so grateful for their flawless work! The day, of course, had a few minor issues, which was handled and I didn’t hear a thing until the days following. The wedding day ran smoothly and was more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined! Truly perfect!!

    Best Money We Spent!

    Best decision we made in our planning process was to pick Uncommon Camellia for day of coordination. We were blessed to receive Ashley Brien as our coordinator and I honestly cant brag on this woman enough. Ashley is so sweet, so detailed, so organized and just so incredible. She made sure to understand every single detail and vision I had for my big day and boy did she make it all come to life. We picked a location for our ceremony that had never been executed with the amount of ppl and in the way I had wanted. Ashley showed up to get it all sorted so perfectly with several moving pieces and parts even adding in a visual layout of how every detail would move so effortlessly. Her extremely detailed rehearsal and day of timeline was amazing and helped to make sure every vendor and person in our party knew where to be, when. In true Louisiana form our wedding day brought a rainy forecast right around our ceremony time but Ashley and Brianne made sure that everything went off without a hitch. I truly felt in the best hands and luckily for us, the weather held out just enough for our ceremony and pictures to be done just the way we had envisioned it. I cant thank Ashley and Brianne enough for their help with our big day, I know had it not been for them and their help I wouldnt have been able to be so relaxed and enjoy my day knowing every detail would be just the way I envisioned.

    Professional, attentive, and kind

    Ashley Brien with Uncommon Camellia hands down made our wedding day the most seamless experience it could have been! She and her assistant, Meryl, were so warm and attentive to me and my new husband, and they gave us the opportunity to be fully present throughout our entire day. I’m so grateful to them for all their help and highly recommend them for anyone interested in month-of coordination!

    10/10 would recommend!

    We are so happy that we hired Ashley and Rachel to coordinate our wedding. Their attention to detail, warm attitude, attentiveness, and flexibility ensured our wedding day went smoothly. We truly did not worry about a thing, and everyone in the wedding party was able to relax and enjoy the party.

    Best Wedding Decision Ever

    I'm organized and a planner by nature. So when I got engaged I didn't think I needed a coordinator except for the fact that I didn't want my mom and dad stressed on the big day. From my first meeting with Ashley Brien I knew I made the right choice to work a coordinator fee in to my budget.

    Ashley was organized, insightful and used her experience to help shape the wedding experience my now husband and I wanted. She solved vendor issues, arranged tablescapes and is a logistical extraordinaire. But the best thing about her is I could feel that she was in our corner and truly cared about our happiness and experience. She focused on us so we could focus on enjoying ourselves.

    Honestly, I do not think my day would have been nearly as good if not for Ashley and her assistant Mary Grace. My bridesmaids who are mostly already married were saying they wished they knew about her before their wedding and my parents and I kept saying, "Thank God for Ashley."

    Five Stars

    Although being in the wedding industry myself, I did not quite understand the value of a day of coordinator. My venue recommended one, but I wasn't sure it was necessary. I spoke to the coordinator my venue recommended, who did not give much info. I decided to reach out to UC because I have done multiple weddings with them in the past. Ashley and I had our initial phone call where she explained, in detail, the value of her services. Immediately I was sold! Ashley is extremely detail oriented and made sure no stone was left unturned. Recently I have heard too many wedding nightmares, which makes me think back fondly on how smooth my day went. You won't regret hiring UC for the big day. Thanks UC for everything!

    Best investment of the whole wedding!

    Ashley and her team were so organized, helpful, and kind! Their attention to detail and the Day Of Timeline they created for me and bridal party took so much stress of my shoulders. Literally everything from where the ring bearer be standing to the equipment, floral and cake drop offs would be. It put my A-type personality at ease. Would highly recommend them!!

    Best Wedding Planner team period.

    The best ever! We had Laura and Tori and I swear, I would’ve been a mess without them. They are literally angels sent from heaven. They know what theyre doing, I had zero stress and everything was absolutely perfect! All my silly requests, they made them all happen. If you need a wedding planner, look no further! It’s them and only them! I am so glad I found them.

    You can't plan a wedding without Alexis + Lia!!!

    The moment my husband and I decided to plan our destination wedding in Nola, we truly had no idea where to begin. After coming across Uncommon Camellia, we were blessed to be paired with Alexis Nelson who helped instill the confidence we needed to plan our wedding in New Orleans the right way!

    I cannot even begin to imagine what our wedding weekend would have been like without her and her assistant Lia by our side! Alexis made sure to support us through each and every one of our questions and needs and made sure to support us every second of our time from the rehearsal to the day of.

    I wish we could get married 100 more times just to be able to work with these two - Thank you again for making our wedding weekend even better than we could ever imagine!

    Hire Uncommon Camellia for your event- you won't regret it!!

    Ashley (and Dani!) did an outstanding job as our day of coordinator! We could not have asked for more. Ashley is very detail oriented, and helped all of our family and bridal party stay on track throughout the wedding day and during the rehearsal. Ashley also helped answer some of our last minute questions which came up in the days preceding the wedding. She truly was the reason our day went off without a hitch. She is excellent at her job and I would recommend her/Uncommon Camellia to everyone! Thank you, Ashley!!

    Fantastic wedding planner - cannot recommend highly enough!

    The best bang for your buck when it comes to wedding planning! Ashley was so professional and attentive throughout our entire experience, so flexible and able to adapt as we changed our minds about this aspect or that aspect of the wedding or as we navigated planning a wedding during the pandemic! The rehearsal was so well run and helped my wife and I feel ready for the big day and so reassured that it would be go off without a hitch. Ashley has such a mind for the flow of an event and small suggestions went a long way towards making it the day we wanted to have. Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Hire them right now!

    Naomi and Adrienne were nothing short of perfection for our wedding on 4/2/22! I would 100% recommend Uncommon Camellia to anyone and everyone - especially anyone planning a New Orleans wedding from out of town (we live in Chicago).

    We chose the month-of-coordination package and were originally assigned to work with Tori, but after a family conflict on Tori's end we were connected with Naomi. While I'm sure Tori would have been just as good, I am so grateful Naomi came into our lives.

    Naomi's organization skills, calm demeanor and infectious energy make her the perfect planner. The best part of working with Uncommon Camellia is the insanely detailed day-of itinerary they put together for the bridal party and vendors. However, Naomi/Adrienne went above and beyond. We had some last minute logistical changes and Naomi handled with grace (while keeping me calm as I tend to stress/spiral) and she helped get the dance party started during our reception! We were lucky enough to have Adrienne, the company founder, as our assistant coordinator who literally pulled out a needle and thread to sew my dress/bustle when it broke before the first dances.

    They both made sure I had no stress leading up to or on the day of our wedding and I would hire them again in an instant!!

    Professional, Organized and Patient Wedding Coordinator

    I cannot say enough about Ashely. She was extremely organized and took care of everything. Her expertise and knowledge was extremely helpful leading up to the wedding. As challenging situations arose she handled each one with patience and grace. On the day of the wedding she took care of every detail and executed our vision perfectly.

    Ashley Brien was the best decision that we made when planning my daughter’s wedding. The amount of stress that was taken off of my shoulders was nothing short of a miracle! I spent the wedding day with my daughter and was not called on once to deal with the many vendors or with the set up of the wedding venue. If you do nothing else-hire Ashley!

    Uncommon Camellia - Alexis and Amelie Review

    Where do we even begin?? Alexis Nelson was our wedding coordinator and she absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! We are an out of town couple, so it was crucial for us to have someone who could make great recommendations and help get everything finalized for our big weekend while we were not able to be in town to do it. She listened to all of our requests for how we wanted our wedding to be and went above and beyond to make the day stress free for us and go even better than we imagined! Our assistant coordinator, Amelie Pizza, was so attentive on the day of the wedding and was always right around the corner from us making sure we had anything we needed throughout the night! We can’t even put in to words how happy we are with both Alexis and Amelie for the weekend and couldn’t have imagined anyone better to get it all done! We cannot recommend them enough and had multiple family members come up to us saying how amazing both of them were and could see how much fun we were having because we had nothing to worry about!

    Amazing!!!!

    Naomi Hill and her team (Lia & Tara) were AMAZING from start to finish. Naomi was extremely helpful in the time leading up to the wedding making sure that we had everything planned and every detail taken care of. The wedding day itself went smoothly without a single problem, and we have Naomi and her team to thank for that. We would 100% recommend them for your wedding! She brings great energy to every interaction you'll have with her. She's the bomb!

    Essential & Amazing!

    Alexis was my month-of coordinator and Brianne assisted on our day! I already had our vendors booked before I realized I needed someone who would be able to ensure everything went smoothly right before the wedding and on the actual day. Although we had a venue coordinator who was great, the venue coordinator wouldn’t be able to do everything Alexis and Brianne did for us!

    From the moment we met Alexis, I knew she would be the perfect fit. She was incredibly organized and detailed, and I knew she would be able to ease my mind! I honestly don’t know how I would’ve had a smooth, carefree day without them. I even needed to book a tent days before our wedding and Alexis saved me and helped so much! I never had to worry before or during our wedding (and we had a unique day with 3 events to coordinate). Thank you Alexis and Brianne!!

    #letgoandletalexis

    From start to finish, Uncommon Camellia has wedding coordinating mastered! Professional and polished systems, tools and tips in place for every step in the planning process. Our coordinator Alexis was the consummate PRO! From the moment she took over our contracts, we felt supported and secure that everything would go off without a hitch. Even for a control freak like me, I felt comfortable and we were able to #letgoandletalexis! Our wedding day was magical largely in part to Alexis and her team keeping things on track and taking excellent care of us and all of our vendors. We can’t recommend Alexis and the entire team at Uncommon Camellia enough!!
