New Orleans Off The Beaten Path: 196 reviews and 288 photos
Although I was already married on my 3rd trip to New Orleans (we went there for our honeymoon) I still required the services of Weddings A GoGo. During the hell of wedding planning my husband and I often talked about how we wished we could just elope to New Orleans... So, when I found that we would be spending our honeymoon there, I decided to surprise him with a very unique, very romantic, Weddings A GoGo wedding.
Mr & Mrs Tony Talavera run this business and they are wonderful. When I first contacted them I spoke at length to Mrs. Talavera to plan a surprise 'vow renewal' on a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. She was SO helpful, and her input added romantic touches that made the night the most memorable one of the honeymoon.
Reverend Anthony Talavera preforms the ceremony. Although he was not preforming a legal wedding for us he took the reciting of vows seriously and preformed the ceremony with a well spoken professionalism all his own.
The best part of all was that it was a surprise to my husband! With the help of Mrs. Talavera, a plan was devised to lure my him to the spot and surprise him with this romantic gesture! Once the cat was out of the bag, the Reverand began the ceremony on the Balcony with all of the Bourbon Street revelers cheering us on! It was INCREDIBLE! Instead of rings, we exchanged Mardi Gras masks, and in addition to traditional vows, my husband and I gave an inpromptu speech from the heart. When the Reverend pronouced us man and wife again, we kissed, and a cheer rose up from Bourbon Street. You don't get that everyday!
The ceremony was followed by throwing beads to the crowd, sharing a bottle of champage, and listening to the hired violinist play.
As per Mrs. Talavera's suggestion, I ended the evening with a Carraige ride through the quarter.
If you are looking for a unique detination wedding spot or renew your vows Weddings A GoGo in New Orleans is the best.
Thank you Mr & Mrs Talavera for an awesome experience!!
