When we stepped into The Civic Theater in New Orleans for Jessica and Michael’s wedding reception, we were in awe! The decor was insane! It’s amazing how much lighting can change the mood of a place. This couple’s wedding planner, Anna, told us the lighting goal was to make The Civic Theater look like a Miami night club…which they nailed! Between the fun lighting, the stunning centerpieces, and the smiling dancing guests, this reception was a blast from start to finish!
