BH&G provided the venue for the rehearsal dinner on Friday and the wedding ceremony and reception on Saturday of Jessica Hasty and Chris Gibson. Approximately 50 family and guests attended both affairs.

Rev. Paul Hussey of New Orleans' First Baptist Church http://www.fbno.org/ performed the ceremony.

Paul Fortier, The Tent Man, http://www.tentmantents.com/html/wedding.html installed three tents for the rear lawn and provided the dining tables and chairs.

Pigeon Caterers http://pigeoncaterers.com catered the rehearsal dinner; and La Bella Catering http://www.labellascatering.com/ catered the reception. Zoey's Bakery http://www.zoesbakery.com/about.htm provided the cake.

The entire rehearsal dinner and its bar and food service occurred on the lawn on a balmy Friday evening. By Saturday, rain seemed imminent, and the tables, chairs and food were set up in our parlors and dining room, with the bar located on the front gallery.

The Saturday rain never materialized, so Jessica and Chris exchanged their vows in our Beaux Arts pavilion.

Dr. Jazz http://www.drjazzmusic.com provided the musical accompaniment for both the ceremony and for dancing on our patio during the reception.

Martin Harris of Martin Harris Photography http://www.martinharris.net/ documented the ceremony and reception.

Harkins the Florist http://www.harkinsneworleans.com/startpage.htm provided the flowers

Congratulations to Jessica and Chris!
