Designer Destination Wedding

ByTrenton Gauthier, AIA

As featured in New Orleans Weddings Magazine

Composed like modern art, this destination ceremony, reception, and seated dinner took advantage of a tiny guest count to create a floorplan that embraced negative space and contrast. This minimalism created a heightened sense of drama and gave the whole event an almost dreamlike, cinematic quality perfectly captured by photographer Olivia Yuen. The degree of focus and scrutiny meant that no detail could be overlooked and no flaw would go unnoticed. Becca Kelly, her coordinators, our staff, Distressed Rentals, and Copeland’s all rose to the occasion and created an evening that was focused and flawless.

I found the Margaret on a late night search for venues and I was psyched to learn Becca was the coordinator! We’d met her before the world went kaput and were planning a larger wedding – funny how things come full circle. Based on the photos alone we booked the Margaret then scheduled a walkthrough. That’s how drawn to this place we were. The Margaret is historic, vintage, modern, and moody – literally all of the things I was looking for in a venue. The chandeliers, moody wallpaper, courtyard, greenery – chef’s kiss. The rooms were a techie’s dream – an ode to Trent himself. The venue was ours the day before at checkin and the day of. They are REALLY great about making sure no one else will be on the grounds during your event. Their slogan “for those who know” is seriously an understatement. The Margaret is truly a dream! Our wedding was 3.3.2021
