Synopsis

Five women travel from Alabama to New Orleans to strike Mardi Gras off their bucket list. At a flamboyant designer’s French Quarter boutique, the ladies film an episode of Celeste’s new web series, “Say Yes to Anything but A Wedding Dress.” At the famed Bacchus Mardi Gras Ball, a fortune teller delivers some disturbing news which sets the ladies on a journey with Marie the Merry Maid, who Celeste believes is VooDoo Queen Marie Laveau reincarnated. With adventures on The Cajun Critters Swamp Tour, and at a day spa with a python massage on the menu, and a trip to the cemetery, the ladies take The Big Easy as only they can.
