Why LGBTQ+ couples choose a planner like this

Confetti & Co Events is LGBTQ+-owned. A planner who understands your situation can steer you toward venues and vendors that suit you, and can speak up on your behalf when a question or assumption arises on the day.

A limited calendar

Rachel takes a limited number of events each year, which means the team can give each wedding real attention. The flip side is that dates can be reserved early, so reach out soon after you set a date.

The planning scope covers ceremonies and receptions, and the team can also help with engagement parties and rehearsal dinners. Support runs from event design to budget management and timelines, and the process is described as streamlined.

Questions worth asking

Ask which planning level fits you and what each includes. Ask who is on site on the wedding day, how vendor communication is handled and how often you will meet. Request a sample timeline so you can see how the day is built.

Bring a rough budget, a guest estimate and a list of must-haves. If you are splitting costs with family, say so up front, so the planner can set expectations.

Working in the New Orleans area

Metairie sits next to New Orleans in Jefferson Parish, so the team is close to venues across the metro area. Weddings here often include a second line or a late-night send-off, and these need permits and coordination with the venue. A planner can handle that for you, which is a good reason to bring one in early.
