Maggie + Devin 3.25.23

I met the beautiful bride Maggie through a mutual friend and another 2023 bride (stay tuned for that, I’m so behind posting!). Maggie and Devin had a fun and intimate wedding tucked in the heart of the Bywater at the Mazant. I fell in love with this New Orleans home and the *vibes* of this wedding! Thank you for letting me be a part of it 🥂

Caroline + Logan 10.8.22

My Best Friend’s *Sister’s* Wedding. Yes, you read that right. Caroline, the bride, is the younger sister of my best friend. No pressure, right? When Caroline and Logan got engaged I knew instantly that I’d be involved in some way, and couldn’t wait to get started! They opted for a pseudo-destination wedding in one of their favorite southern cities, New Orleans. Derbes Mansion provided a perfect location for all festivities throughout the weekend. These images speak for themselves. Caroline and Logan were so full of joy for the entire day!

Ellie + Garrett 6.11.22

I feel like I start each of these posts with “this bride was so special because…” but really y’all, this one really is SO special! I’ve known the bride Ellie since she was born. She and her family are more than friends with my family, they are like our real family. I can’t even begin to list our shared memories! I’m so happy Ellie found Garrett to welcome to the (our) family. Of course it was a joy to be a part of this day! Love y’all!!

Blaire + Alex 3.4.2022

Finally getting around to posting this sweet spring wedding from earlier this year! I’ve known Blaire from summer camp (shout out to ) for years and was thrilled when she reached out to me to help with her wedding. These two were so smitten with each other and giggled constantly while taking pictures, which made it so fun for all involved. Wishing you two all the best with married life in Texas!!

Sharing some pictures from my own wedding 6 years ago today!

Even for a planner like myself, planning a wedding was not easy! I made mistakes, I missed details, it RAINED, etc. I was so lucky to have many trusted professionals involved, making it such a fun day! All that to say - hire a professional to assure YOU have a fun day, too!

Liana + Robert 11.13.21

In honor of carnival season in full swing here in New Orleans, I had to go ahead and share Liana and Rob's wedding! Liana and I have known each other for years, so when she reached out about their destination wedding in NOLA I could not wait to get to work. This wedding was beautiful and intimate, and then quite the party! The best of both worlds. Cheers to Liana and Robert, and laissez bon temps rouler!

Anna + Chris 11.20.21

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day for Anna and Chris! I've known Anna since she was in middle school, so this wedding tugged on the heartstrings a bit. It was so special to see her as a bride, and I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this day. Sending this couple all my love now and always!

Ashley + Matt 10.14.2021

It was such an honor to be a part of this very sweet and special elopement! Tucked in the sand dunes of the Pensacola National Seashore these two quietly exchanged vows and rings and promised to always be best friends, in a life full of joy, laughter, and cheese. Even though there were a handful of vendors surrounding them, it was like they were alone and none of us existed. The love was evident to us all!

Brittney + Joey 9.18.2021

I’ve been working in the wedding & event industry for a while, but Brittney and Joey will always go down in history as the first *official* Audrey Ford Events couple! I’m thankful they trusted me with their big day. Brittney and Joey were wonderful to work with, and it was so obvious how much they loved each other throughout it all. Truly wishing this couple all the best!

This little picture popped up on my Timehop today and seeing it immediately took me on a trip down memory lane.

I was fresh out of college and living in New York City working as an (unpaid) intern for a Brooklyn-based event designer. She hired me through email and by just reviewing my resume. And let’s be honest, probably because I said I would work for free. It was essentially a big blind date. I really had no clue what I was getting myself into.

One of my first days working with her I found myself headed downtown in a taxi cab full of linens and floral arrangements. My new boss wasn’t really forthcoming with details, a little scatter brained (to say the least). We pulled up to a large building. Everything is kind of a blur at this point in my memory.

We were juggling boxes of floral arrangements and yards and yards of custom linens. What is clear in my memory is the elevator door opening and all of a sudden I find myself on the Vogue floor of the Condé Nast building. VOGUE. There were gorgeous, tall women everywhere and racks of clothes whisking by me. I felt very small and very homely. I’m sure it was all over my face. I followed my boss around like a lost kitten picking up vases from her previous deliveries, chatting with editors, etc.

Finally we made it to a quiet conference room where we were able to set up (and I was able to catch my breath). After the installation was complete, I was handed a $20 bill and told to catch a cab home. We went out the main entry and as I walked to hail that cab I snapped this picture. 11 years ago! It’s still one of my favorite memories of working in this crazy industry, and a day I’ll truly never forget 🚕🚕

This one is so special for me. I’ve watched Anna Hansen go from the annoying tiny girl that was my sister’s friend to a beautiful, fun-loving young woman! I know she will be a gorgeous bride and can’t wait for the big day!

Get to know Audrey Ford, of Audrey Ford Events! Below is my bio written by my talented dear friend Rachel Rizzuto, and the picture is taken by the phenomenal photographer EJR Photography!

Audrey Ford has coordinated more than 250 weddings over the last decade—and she remembers every last one! Originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Audrey has worked in the hospitality industry in cities as far-reaching as New York, Memphis, Austin, Honolulu, Mobile, and now, New Orleans. As an event planner for venues and full-service catering companies, she's had the pleasure of producing events for Johnnie Walker, Pandora Internet Radio, Formula1 Racing, Oreo, Willie Nelson's Ranch, and SXSW.

As someone whose love for design and creativity is matched only by her passion for list-making and uber-detailed planning, Audrey knows she was made for the wedding-coordinating business. (The signs have always been there: As a child, she orchestrated elaborate processionals for her Barbies' weddings and began regularly purchasing wedding magazines in high school.) She lives in Gretna with her husband, Graham, a member of the Coast Guard, and her son Elec and pup Charlie, all of whom readily accept her Broadway and trash television addictions.
