     I'm getting married in MS, but not on the Gulf Coast. I'm about an hour and a half north.

    Hi Jenny!

    I am an event designer in Louisiana, MS, and TN, most of the vendors that I know are willing to travel, it's not terribly far from the stateline. I actually have a wedding in Ocean Springs as well. I have a WONDERFUL caterer who is caribbean and could definitely spread the beach flavor. She also does cakes, rentals, etc. What is included in your venue?  What type of floral look are you going for? I do really simple floral designs, with one type of fresh flower, but if you want something more elaborate, you can definitely go with a florist in the area. Let me know if you'd like me to suggest any.  Have you thought about having a planner/coordinator to assist?

    My sister had a great caterer!!  I actually went to another wedding this year and they used this caterer for the rehearsal dinner too!  Patsy is the one who runs the show and she was fabulous to work with-and the food was great both times!

    @jennycv:  I think one of the nicest reception places in Moss Point is the Pelican Landing Center.  My cousin's reception was there, and it turned out really well.  A website I've found helpful is www.gulfcoast.org

    I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and I'm looking for a site too!  Preferably in the Biloxi/Ocean Springs area.  Problem is I'm being picky.  I want something indoors in case the weather is awful, but with the possibility of spreading outdoors if it's nice.  Plus, I want a casually elegant barbecue/shrimp boil reception.  Let me know if y'all have any ideas!

    Camellia,

    I did call Pelican Landing awhile back. But the lady there is rude. Honestly I dont deal with people like that.

    I have a bride whose reception is at the coastal ballroom at the Courtyard by Marriot in Gulfport, MS. And the pictures of it are quite lovely....

    jennycv, I'm sorry that didn't work out!  I can't blame you, planning a wedding from a distance is stressful enough, forget about having to deal with rude people on top of it!  Good luck finding a site...and do check out the www.gulfcoast.org website, they have a lot of listings.

    Oh, and I can vouch for Lagniappe having delicious food!  And they're really nice people too.  Patsy's husband was one of my college instructors.

    Lagniappe is a great caterer!!  We used them for several events with my old company and everyone was always happy.  As far a using a service, she is reasonably priced.  It is nice to see other people from the MS area....I live in Biloxi and was starting to wonder if ANY board would have people local.

    @crebre80 We had a tough time deciding! Beach vs hometown/surrounding area... We scoped out about 7 venues on one Saturday all over Central Miss (whew!!). We then decided to get married at the church my parents and most of my family have gotten married in. It is in my hometown.. Gettting married in a small town (very small)  has some unique challenges. The small town feel is amazing and many of my very large extended family will be able to come..

    @jennycv: Hi, I am actually from Moss Point.  I have planned and coordinated about five weddings plus my own in 2002.  I live about 10 minutes from Moss Point.  I specialize in bouquets, ceremony and reception decorations.  I'm not sure if you would like an outside wedding but downtown Moss Point have the perfect set up for a nice outside wedding.  I'm working on a website to start my business but I can send you pictures of some of my designs if you like.  My email address is weddingdreamdesigns@ymail.com. and I am Tiffany.  Also. my aunt own a restaurant in Moss Point so I can talk to her if you need a caterer.  I also do all of the coordinating and planning if you need help with that.  My best friend's aunt is a cake decorator and if you need a seamstress I know a couple of people that can help with that.  Pelican Landing is a little expensive (to me) but I don't know your budget.  A friend of mine family owns an RV park in the area and I can speak with her if you need information on that.  They have two reception areas a small one for about 25 people and a larger one for about 100.  I am not a business; I am an individual who enjoy the art of colors and designs.  In any case, let me know if I can help you.  Congrats on your day.
