E3 - Destination of Dreams, and Unforgettable Celebrations with Michelle Norwood

Michelle Norwood, a seasoned wedding planner, has created extraordinary New Orleans weddings for eight years. She transforms New Orleans weddings with 11-hour seated dinners and combines the tradition with that of a charming city. She speaks on the importance of strategy and adaptability in a city that becomes more popular for destination weddings associated with its culture and cuisine. Destination-based weddings usually last longer than local ceremonies, and most of the clients Michelle works with prefer this style, offering plated meals and live music and entertainment all over. These celebrations are truly unique.

The quintessential feature of New Orleans weddings is a second-line parade – once linked to funerals, but now an incredibly lively celebration of life. These parades keep the energy up, effortlessly blending the joy with ritual celebrations as couples go from ceremony to cocktail hour to a seated dinner. Michelle’s transformation from the corporate sector to a competent wedding planner and designer highlights that one must have an effective plan, flexibility, and openness about distinctive customs in weddings.
