In the category "Best Wedding: Budget $1,000 and Above Per Guest," the team from Kristin Banta Events creates this "“Free-Spirited Musical Extravaganza in NOLA” wedding.
Inspired by the 1970s free-spirited style of Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks plus with the sultry ambiance of New Orleans’ French Quarter, this wedding set at the New Orleans Museum of Art featured a dusk ceremony in the sculpture garden under Spanish moss, an opium den-inspired cocktail reception, and a surprise after-party glowing with neon inside the museum.
The stunning ceremony.

A three-hour concert was kicked off by the newlyweds “first song”—the 1990s hit “Ballroom Blitz”--featured an all-star line-up of family and friends, all professional performers and musicians.
Inspired by the couple’s effortless style, this modern minimalist wedding from Kristin Banta Events combined hard with soft in a luxe neutral palette featuring industrial textures and organic accents.
Held at Carmel Valley Ranch’s [Calif.] hilltop with jaw-dropping views, the fashion-forward ceremony incorporated a prism frame hung with copper pendants and showcased a collection of Belgium rugs and charcoal concrete blocks topped with bunnytails, baby’s breath and parrot tulips.

After the ceremony, guests settled into plush banquettes for sunset cocktails followed by a reception that came to life in the ballroom, featuring a luxe collection of tablescapes, a custom dance floor, and a pendant installation overhead.
The beautiful dinner.
This wedding from Something Fabulous treated guests from all around the world to an Indian wedding extravaganza aimed to create an atmosphere that felt like home for the couple and all their guests.
From a 24-hour hospitality suite to live entertainment, guests were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience to celebrate the couple’s marriage.
Careful planning made the most of resources; for example, the mandap was repurposed as a dessert stage with cotton candy hanging from the mandap structure.
