As a Wedding Minister & Marriage Coach I work with couples that have chosen to prioritize loving excitement, genuine connection, professional support, and magical moments at the altar. On such a special day, you deserve an officiant that will create space for your unique experiences and celebrate your story with authentic joy and reverence!
From pre-marital coaching to your experience at the altar, my goal is to celebrate love in every moment. My wedding ceremonies are as diverse as my couples; often non-denominational, civil, interfaith, secular, LGBTQ+, or spiritual.
The Historic Swoop-Duggins House, located in a historic three-story, three-bay, brick house with an attached two-story service wing located in New Orlean’s CBD, offers a private, second floor exclusively for events complete with private entry. For larger events, or guests wishing for a progressive event experience, you may opt to also include the courtyard as well as the entire first floor, Swoop’s dining room and bar, as part of your event.
The Historic Swoop-Duggins House’s event space can be privately accessed by both its own beautiful wooden staircase as well as the courtyard, both leading to the immaculately decorated rooms on the second floor. Rich colors and ornate fabrics complement the artwork that adorns the walls as well as the multiple fireplaces. The “gallery” (a balcony spanning the depth of an entire sidewalk and the full length of the building) allows guests to experience the sites and sounds of New Orleans during your event.
The space at The Historic Swoop-Duggins House provides your guests with a unique event experience in that not only do you have access to the second floor during your event, you have the option to utilize the courtyard as part of your event.
