David & Tricia’s New Orleans Wedding
Welcome party at the new orleans Pharmacy Museum
David and Tricia kicked off their wedding weekend the way New Orleans does best. Slowly, intentionally, and surrounded by people who showed up ready to be present.
From a Friday night welcome party at the Pharmacy Museum to a full second line and late night dance floor at Race & Religious, the weekend was layered, emotional, and deeply personal.
Getting Ready at Race & Religious
Saturday unfolded slowly, which is exactly what this space allows.
Tricia got dressed at Race & Religious while David prepped upstairs in the back house. Nothing rushed. No chaos. Just quiet moments, details laid out intentionally, and that calm before everything tips forward.
Race & Religious holds stillness without feeling empty. That space made room for real emotion to show up early.
A CEREMONY THAT TURNED INTO A PARADE
The ceremony itself was intimate, grounded, and emotional, but it did not end at the aisle.
As David and Tricia made their way back, the energy shifted. A brass band revealed itself overhead. Guests changed shoes. The courtyard filled. Then New Orleans did what it always does when love meets rhythm.
A second line poured out of Race & Religious, led by a brass band, Mardi Gras Indians, and everyone who was ready to follow. No hesitation. No holding back.
This was not a photo moment.
It was a release.
Cocktail hour, dinner, and a night that didn’t slow down
Back inside, cocktail hour rolled straight into dinner without killing momentum. Music stayed present but never overpowering. Speeches landed because people were actually listening. Outfit changes happened because why not.
As the night went on, the dance floor filled fast and stayed that way. Tarot cards in one corner. Espresso martinis later. People bouncing between moments instead of being hearded through them.
By the time the last song hit, nobody wanted it to end, which is always a sign of a damn good party.

NOLA Love Story: Art Deco Bliss at Pharmacy Museum & Cane & Table ft. Liz & Devin
Liz and Devin threw the ultimate party to celebrate their love. Their wedding wasn't just a ceremony—it was a wild and unforgettable experience that perfectly encapsulated their personalities and style.
Picture this: Liz and Devin saying their "I dos" surrounded by vintage apothecary bottles and old-school medical gear at the Pharmacy Museum. It was like stepping into a cool, time-traveling adventure that mixed history with a touch of mystery, setting the vibe for a wedding that was far from basic.
Liz rocked a show-stopping gold wedding dress that screamed Art Deco goddess vibes. Devin, not one to be outdone, showed up in a red and black velvet tux that was pure sophistication. Together, they were a power couple that set the stage for a wedding that was all about being bold and unique.
Who needs regular old flower bouquets when you can have wearable floral art? Liz and Devin turned their guests into living art installations, decked out in intricate floral arrangements that added a whimsical touch to the celebration. It was the perfect nod to their love for creativity and doing things a bit differently.
No cookie-cutter vows here! Liz and Devin poured their hearts into personalized vows that spilled the tea on their love story. The ceremony featured altars that told their unique journey, making every moment Instagram-worthy and deep AF. It was all about creating a wedding that was as one-of-a-kind as they are.
After the ceremony, Young Fellaz Brass Band led a colorful parade from the Pharmacy Museum to the reception at Cane & Table. The streets of NOLA turned into a dance floor as friends and fam celebrated the newlyweds in style.
And the Pastries! Let’s not forget about Ayu Bakehouse’s Snake pastry that was beyond delicious. Everything they had was seriously amazing!
Shoutout to Rena with Alchemy Events for pulling off some serious magic. From the vibe at the Pharmacy Museum to the seamless transition to Cane & Table, Alchemy Events turned Liz and Devin's vision into reality. It was like having a personal wedding wizard making sure everything was on point.
Liz and Devin didn't just have a wedding; they threw an epic NOLA bash that will be talked about for ages. From the vintage vibes of the Pharmacy Museum to the wild second line parade, every moment was a snapshot of their crazy love story. As the night ended with a private sesh at the Carousel Bar in the historic Hotel Monteleone, one thing was clear— Liz and Devin’s wedding was a vibe that'll be remembered forever.
