Cocktails With The Krewe

We're back for Episode 3 of Cocktails with the Krewe and this week we're discussing the importance of celebrating and enjoying the moment. Join hosts Jessica Burke of New Orleans Weddings Magazine and Jessica Talazac of Republic NOLA as they enjoy this week's signature cocktail "The Wedding Zinger" and chat with Lydia Noble and Nicole Hartman of Noble Events about how couples can relieve planning stress and have a wedding celebration on their own terms. Jessica Talazac shares her philosophy of the art of anticipation (and why this skill is something you should look for in potential wedding pros) and guest bride Laine Stewart shares how she planned her own wedding without worrying about what everyone else thought and her advice to other couples who want to do the same. 

On this week’s episode of Cocktails with the Krewe, we’re discussing the topic of trust. Joining us for cocktails and conversation are the luxury event designers behind Wink Design + Events and the ever captivating Brian Jarreau of Brian Jarreau Photography. In this episode, we learn why it’s important to talk budget early on with clients, why you must get things in writing and what Wink looks for in potential referral partners. Brian shares his insights on how to use reviews as both a wedding pro and client, how he makes his couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, the four letter word that you never want to hear from your clients (It’s not what you think!).

In our debut episode, Jessica Burke of New Orleans Weddings Magazine and Jessica Talazac of Republic NOLA sit down with Staci Lewis of Jazzi Events to discuss communication between couples and wedding vendors during the wedding planning process.  For the wedding professionals listening in, Staci also talked about some of the ways she keeps up with her clients and running her business.
