The Ceremony: The Berry Barn

For Chloe and Rick, a Berry Barn wedding was what they’d always dreamed of for their special day.  When this Northern and Southern couple met two and a half years ago, there was nothing for them to battle over, because they knew right away that they shared a love of everything, including each other. The venue for the wedding and the reception was The Berry Barn at Liuzza Land in Amite, Louisiana.  This rustic farm setting was perfect for this fun-loving couple.  The Berry Barn offers the option of indoor or outdoor areas for the wedding, including a beautiful lighted arbor and pergola, which are splendid backdrops for photos. Chloe and Rick opted for an outdoor wedding ceremony.  The bride’s father walked the bride down the barn’s petal-strewn sidewalk to the arms of an anxious groom.  Chloe wore a stunning V-neck gown with spaghetti straps and floral appliques studded with sequins and pearls.  She also wore a pair of cream-colored Christian Louboutin heels.  The gown was from Olivier Bridal Couture of Mandeville, Louisiana.  The ceremony was presided over by Dan Hebert.  The bride’s hairstyle was created by Melanie Hellmers and Marcy T., and her makeup was done by Stephanie Jenkins.  The couple had ten bridesmaids and ten groomsmen in attendance, and almost 200 friends and family joined the bridal party for the festivities.  The bridesmaids were all dressed in pale blue gowns with floral wreaths in their hair.  The groomsmen wore gray slacks, suspenders, and blue bow ties.  The groom’s three-piece suit was from The Men’s Wearhouse.  The bride and groom exchanged rings after saying their tear-inducing vows.  Right after the ceremony, the newlyweds shared some private moments beneath the pergola before going indoors to start the party.

The Reception: The Berry Barn

Chloe and Rick started the reception festivities by sharing a romantic dance with music provided by NO Metro DJ Services before giving their parents a chance to step in and share a special dance with each of them.  Coffee Rani catered the reception and Nonna Randazzo’s created the five tiers of king cake-styled wedding cake, which seemed to float in the room on a table suspended from the ceiling.  Muriel Woodward made the colorful groom’s cake and cupcakes.  Decorations and lighting were provided by William Spiess. During the reception, the couple and their guests set the dance floor on fire with one groomsman’s pants becoming a casualty.  Good thing Rick, who is a professional fire investigator, was on hand to make sure things didn’t get out of control. The entire affair was covered by videographer Jay Hernandez of Nandez Films. Chloe and Rick started their important day surrounded by sweet strawberry fields and one nosy ostrich who seemed a bit put out that he wasn’t invited to the wedding.  In the future, the couple plans to take over Rick’s family business, Forensic Investigations Group, with him continuing as Fire Investigator and Chloe at the business administration helm.
