Industrial Garden Party

If you’re looking to host a classy and modern indoor party with lots of greenery and natural colors, look no further! Erin and Cody’s wedding was designed perfectly to fit this vibe and we hope that their vision helps to inspire your own.

They began the day by getting ready onsite with their nearest and dearest. Erin + co got pampered in the Greenroom and Cody + co relaxed in the Clubroom. Their ceremony was held in front of the large windows of the Greatroom and afterward, guests met in the Clubroom to mingle while the upstairs was transformed for the reception.

Socially Distanced Clubroom Event

While the world of events continues to evolve each day with updated guidelines and information, there is one constant — the pandemic itself. Initially that may seem daunting while you are trying to plan your event. Many clients are left wondering “What will my event look like? Will it still feel normal?”

Our answer is yes, it will! The tables may be spaced out a bit more and group sizes different, but the event itself will still be beautiful and your guests will have a great time. Take a look for yourself!

For those of you (like me) who love fully set tables, you are probably pretty bummed that right now only centerpieces, chargers, and flatware rolled napkins can be pre-set. My recommendation is this — rent an extra set of place settings and stage a table or two for photos, prior to guests arriving. This way you can get those beautiful shots, but have time to remove them before guests come in (and remember to put them in the “dirty” pile and not use for the service). We did just that for this event; see below!

Black Tie Affair

Whether you are planning a wedding or a gala (or any other type of event), a “black-tie” theme is always a great choice. Your guests will be in awe, you will feel elegant, and the event photos will be timeless! Below you will find examples of the Harolds’s take on a black-tie affair during their March wedding. 

Clients used the Greatroom for their ceremony and then moved to the Clubroom for cocktail hour. While guests mingled, the Greatroom was transformed into the reception area where guests spent the remainder of the evening.
