As we once again approach the peak of Hurricane season, we can't help but remember August 2020 when Hurricane Laura devastated Southern and Central Louisiana... However, with a lot of hard work and help from so many, just 48 hours after the storm passed, we hosted the most beautiful wedding of Sarah Landry and Billy Cheek! They're an incredible couple. 🥂.

Sarah and Billy wanted to proceed with their wedding even though the venue had no electricity and some of their own family members lost their homes to the storm. Three years later we remember this day say cheers and blessings to both of you!
