A POSH Event: Edna married Derrick (Reception)

Happy Friday!

As the week is coming to a close, I thought what better way to celebrate the weekend than with a little cheer.

Edna and Derrick's reception took place immediately after their ceremony in the ballroom at Scotland Run. Guest were greeted by a feast of food selections, everything from waffles to salads-the spread was truly amazing (and delicious!). Morning or not, we definitely had a room full of dancers and Centerstage Entertainment kept the party going.

At the end of the reception the bartender came over and told us in his 13 years at the facility, it was the best wedding he'd ever worked!

The amazing spread:

The happy couple.

(You can't see so much from this particular picture but the linen I selected for the design of this room was phenomenal. Fuchsia with orange sunburst swirls. Perfect for a brunch reception)

I must give a shout out to my team members for the day Deidre and Sai. I'm really fortunate to work with the best gals a girl could ask for!



Edna & Derrick, this experience has been amazing and I'm glad that you've allowed me to spend more time with your family. Looking forward to many more laughs!

carving stations, mimosas and cake!

Many clients contact me with budget limitations that don't necessarily allow for a Saturday evening reception at their dream Venue. Why not consider Saturday afternoon???

Wedding "brunch" is an excellent opportunity to have everything you desire and stay within your designated budget. Many venues allow for receptions on Saturday/Sunday afternoon (end time approximately 4pm) and offer lavish spreads of breakfast and dinner menu options. Long gone are the days of cheerios and strawberries folks...brunch menus closely resemble that of their dinner counterparts only in smaller portions and often, you still have the option to have live stations.

So, why not invite your guests to party 8 hours earlier, after a beautiful morning ceremony, eat, drink (wine, champagne and specialty drinks are quite appropriate during earlier receptions) and party? With your wedding formalities ending at 4, you have plenty of time to spend quality time with your new spouse and still hit the road later that evening and celebrate again!
