Down Annie Lane MS Events

Toni and Joy are AMAZING. They are caring and professional, and go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding is exactly what you want within the budget that you set. They gracefully coordinated all the little details of our wedding that I was trying to plan from across the country, and were somehow able to understand the style and vibe we were going for from a Pinterest board and a few phone conversations. They obviously care about all their couples, and all the vendors they chose were reliable and so easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, they so deftly moved to a plan B when the outdoor ceremony was rained out that I didn't even have time to worry. The day was memorable, meaningful, and stress-free, and I couldn't imagine having enjoyed everything nearly as much without them.

I cannot say enough fantastic things about Toni and Joy at Down Annie Lane! They are the magicians behind our magical wedding day. Hard working, communicative, easy to talk to, direct, get-it-done people. They feel like family and I miss talking to them every day! I hired them to do day-of planning since I live in Austin and was having a destination wedding New Orleans. There were simply things I couldn't handle over email or over the phone. At times, my (now) husband and I were very frustrated with vendors. Not to mention, we were trying to manage all the bills! Enter Toni and Joy, who jumped on the case to manage our vendors, keep us on budget, and make a magical experience for all of us. Toni and Joy's services are a steal. They did our day-of, ran our rehearsal, supplied décor, transported items including food for our welcome party, picked up our printing, picked up everything, and managed our vendors--including one particularly difficult vendor who wanted to charge us $3K more than our budget. Toni and Joy to the rescue! Really, worth every penny (and probably significantly more). I wish I had hired them sooner. I would certainly hire them again. TLDR: fantastic women to work with, get-it-done, go-above-and-beyond, affordable services.

Words cannot express how grateful me and my (now) husband are to Toni and Joy of Down Annie Lane for all that they did for us for our wedding. Literally a year of planning for our big day and Joy and Toni were with us every step of the way. No matter what we needed, they were there. From personally hand stamping our handkerchiefs for our wedding favors, to finding amazing photographers for us, to even such little details as personally taking us to get our wedding license, Joy and Toni were so lovely to work with! And the day of the wedding, when I was so forgetful that I forgot the diaper bag for my daughter in my hotel room, Joy and Toni made arrangements to go get diapers and wipes all in the midst of my wedding reception...simply so I could have one less thing to worry about. That's just one example of the countless ways they came through for us. And let us not forget that I live in CA, and yet was able to rely on Toni and Joy to effectively plan this wedding when I was in a totally different state. Toni and Joy are true lifesavers and dream makers when it comes to the vision we had for our wedding. I honestly wish they didn't just plan weddings because if I could have them help plan christenings, birthday parties, etc., I absolutely would! You cannot go wrong if you hire Joy and Toni for your wedding. You 100% will not be disappointed. Cannot recommend them enough!

If you need a wedding planner in or near New Orleans, Down Annie Lane is it. Do not waste your time with any other planner, Toni and Joy are the absolute best that you could ever hope for. We would have paid 5 times what they charge and gotten half the care and service these ladies provide. It's not even a question. Don't be stupid, call them RIGHT NOW.
