End of May... Already?

Where has the Spring gone? May 30th brought several wonderful events our way which our staff were honored to be a part of. Chad and Roxanna were married at Ewing Manor with their reception immediately following at ISU's Brown Ballroom. The bride and groom made their grand entrance into the ballroom on street surf boards, what a hoot!! It goes without saying that Chad and Roxanna's friends and family were amazed and cheering loudly for them as the skated their way the head table. Have fun in Negril guys! We were also pleased to work with the Pumphrey and Rinker families as they joined into a marital union. The bride and groom hosted their event at the Elk's Club in Clinton with only their best friends and family in attendance. Colin, their disc jockey for the evening, played all of their favorite songs while to crowd danced their way into the night. Adam, who had the pleasure of working with Charles and Abby Bowhall's event hosted at Bloomington's Chateau Hotel and Conference Center was amazed at how many people can actually fit on to a dance floor in such a small space! The bride, groom and their guests ate, drank and were quite merry while enjoying a fun reception located in the hotel's restaurant area! Thanks for having us Abby and Charles, good luck in the future! We were also privileged to work with the O'Neil and Meyer families as they hosted their event at East Peoria's Embassy Suites. This event was quite huge! Their event encompassed the ENTIRE ballroom! Beth Maxwell and her staff were on site taking care of the wonderful draping, linens, floral and overall decor for the event. Anyone who knows Beth's understands just how cool this event looked. Our staff and hers worked into the very late hours to pull this one off but man, what an awesome ending result. The first section of the ballroom was decorated for cocktails with the center two sections elegantly designed for the dining pleasure of hundreds of guests. The third section was for dancing and socializing while a wonderful band played all of the best music for a wedding reception. The lighting plan we designed was one that encompassed traditional elegance for dining to trendy/modern for dancing. The lighting tied in very well with Beth's floral, linen and overall design. This event was one to see; I've attached a photo for your review. Also, a huge thank you to the SLC staff as well as JD with Embassy Suites for helping us achieve such a fun, successful weekend.
