EVENT PLANNER AND DESIGNER Michelle Norwood Events

WHY NEW ORLEANS? It's the top city for destination weddings and events. Each experience is unique in a city so rich in culture, history, amazing food, and music. There's nowhere else like it anywhere in the world. WHAT ABOUT NEW ORLEANS INSPIRES YOU? The people who are so kind, so Southern, so loving, and oh so welcoming. WHAT YOU SEE AS OUR FUTURE I grew up with neighborhoods of families all living in walking distance from each other. I would love to see more local families — the people who built these neighborhoods — still residing here. The spirit of New Orleans is the locals and we must preserve that.
