Brianne & Shane – October 1, 2016
Wedding – Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church, New Orleans, LA
Reception – The Balcony Ballroom, New Orleans-Metairie, LA
Brianne and Shane had their wedding ceremony at the lovely Mater Delarosa Church on Carrolton in New Orleans. It’s one of the grand old churches in the city, that has the grandeur of any. Before the ceremony, the bride took a photo at her family house with the limo previously owned by Lucille Ball. Then proceeded to the church where her happy groom awaited. After the ceremony, we headed to the Balcony Ballroom for the reception, which is always a fabulous location for a great party, which they had to full effect. The Balcony staff always does a fantastic job of making sure everything goes smoothly, and they have the nice touch of displaying the bride and groom’s name and wedding date on the wall above the cake. This makes for wonderful photo opportunities which I like to take full advantage of. There is also plenty of room there for very large attendance, as well as some great food service. I highly recommend the Bananas Foster for the food list to anyone who is planning an event there. After the first dance and parent dances, the party went in full swing and was finshed off with a second line parade to send off the bride and groom in their new life together. These are the traditions for our weddings here in New Orleans, and I see no reason to not follow them for any wedding. Our congratulations to Brianne and Shane for their wonderful New Orleans style wedding!
