If you've been following my work, you know unconventional weddings with outside-the-box thinking are my jam. And Covid opened opportunities to get more creative. With date, venue and vendors changing daily, finding new ways to enhance outdoor celebrations became the norm. One wedding that still stands out to me is... Dinner and a movie The groom, Glenn, is a film producer who loves creating movies. So, it was only natural that he produce and direct a feature film starring himself and his bride, Sandra, to share their love story with all their guests over dinner. Admittedly, I watched it countless times before and after the showing and cried each time. The thoughtful celebration took place outside of NOMA. My team and I have worked at NOMA countless times, so we knew exactly what to do. From a design perspective, the @neworleansmuseumofart was a suitable choice for its venue versatility. The most common location to host a seated dinner is in the Sculpture Garden under the huge oak trees, which we have created before. However, we pitched the idea of dinner on the steps of NOMA and coined it “Dinner and A Movie '' and they were all in. It was a risky plan and logistically a bit of a challenge as electricity is non-existent and a quiet generator is never really quiet. Not to mention, rain is always a possibility in New Orleans. And we were quite exposed in the middle of a public park, but... We were blessed. It turned out to be a perfect fall day in NOLA. The public kept a respectful distance and the quiet generator turned out to be quiet. Blog post coming soon but for now, here is a sneak peak of Sandra and Glenn’s Dinner and a Movie al fresco dinner on the step of NOMA!
