Billy & Kait’s wedding got moved not once, not twice, but three damn times! And to top it off their wedding was supposed to take place in NYC back in 2020 but the pandemic had other ideas and forced them to move their date in order to have the celebration they dreamed of.
They ultimately decided to have their wedding in New Orleans at the St. Louis Cathedral with the reception at the Old Ursaline Convent Museum, and it turned out freaking amazing.
Rena with Alchemy Events made sure that everything was absolutely perfect for their third and final go at getting married. She enlisted the always amazing Kim Star Wise to deck the place out in white orchids and accented the 4½' foot tall cake created by Sucrette Nola.
Right before the ceremony was supposed to start, Kait’s dress zipper bust open. Rena, like the badass that she is, swooped in and stitched Kait into her dress moments before she walked down the aisle. If that isn’t a testament as to why anyone should hire a wedding planner and coordinator, we don’t know what is! Anything can go south at a moments notice, so it’s nice to know you’ve got someone who can step in and save the day.
The reception was the culmination of everyone being isolated from one another for an entire year, and the fact that they were all so ready to finally celebrate with Billy & Kait. Y’all, their party was insane, but rather than keep rambling on about how awesome it was, we figured we’d do what we’re best at and show y’all.
