Pair of Violets Wedding Coordination and Planning

Pair of Violets Wedding Coordination and Planning Events from your POV. Value-centered, intentional wedding coordination/planning based in New Orleans. Queer-owned, wife and wife team! Meet the Violets! INFJ. ESFJ.

Bee - Leo sun, Sag moon, Leo rising. Enneagram 3w4. Lover of heavy-handed symbolism and an over-the-top theme. Stan for public libraries. Lydia - Aries sun, Libra moon, Pisces rising. Enneagram 8w7. Love language: concert tickets and handmade playlists. Always finds the coolest thing in the thrift store. OUR WHY:
To be the biggest advocate and cheerleader for you on the most important day of your life. To simplify and beautify your wedding day so you can be fully and authentically present. To bring deep empathy to your experiences and honor your full humanity in the process
You and your partner(s) have a story unlike any other. Your wedding day should reflect your shared values, the journey you have taken, the life you will build. Navigating wedding traditions can be filled with conflicting emotions - this is especially true for q***r people. We want to be the ones to help you identify the details of your wedding day that truly reflect who you are. F*ck the traditions. We’re here to help you create your own. Bringing our program management skills, event planning experience, and deep investment in equity and justice, we provide intentional, value-centered wedding coordination and planning services for nearlyweds in New Orleans, the Gulf Coast, and beyond.

Apparently a hot take, but we strongly believe there is no place for generative AI and large language models (LLMs) - that means ChatGPT, Claude, Meta AI, Copilot, etc. etc. etc. - in the wedding industry.

And there’s no shame if you bought into it because you thought it would help your solopreneur biz or some other reason. The best time to stop using genAI/LLMs is right now. You have gone most of your life without it, you don’t need it! There is no “getting left behind” when the ruling class literally wants you dependent on robots instead of your brain.

(Ironically, this may show up tagged as AI Content because we used regular ol’ Canva to make this post - is there ANY AI-free editor out there y’all recommend?)

Shout out to Jess Glynne for being one of the 200+ artists who spoke out against AI with Artist Rights Now in 2024!

Betcha didn’t know that Lydia is also an ordained officiant! Anisha and Paul are our second pair of friends she has married, and I have a feeling they will be officiating more in the future - Lyd has a knack for matchmaking 💞
