Featured Wedding - Week of September 8, 2007
posted by table6 in UncategorizedLord have mercy on our souls, we are so darn busy. It is hard to even keep up with the blogging but we know how much you girls LOVE reading about crazy and utterly fabe’ antics. Anyway, we had a small wedding - 96 people - on the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. Smaller weddings can be so refreshing at times. Our Bride and Groom, Laura and Tom, were great to work with. In fact, we planned their event in 3 months…with a venue change. The ceremony was at the Denver Botanic Gardens under a tent. Very beautiful…but it rained. Luckily, everyone one was under the tent and the ceremony was over…Did I mention their was champagne there too? That always helps people deal with adversity.
The reception was at OCEAN restaurant in Cherry Creek. VERY COOL venue to have a small wedding. We would suggest it for 100 people and less. Cocktail hour, sit down dinner, and an oustanding band. Camilla Formica’s gorgeous voice and her jazz friends kept people dancing until the bitter end. She was very cool and taught me a lot about scotch. I felt like a wimp between her and the bartenders pressuring me to do a Patron shot. When I politely obliged, they asked if I rememberd when I was "cool and fun"….Oh, bring it on baby! Needless to say, I downed the shot. (it was the end of the night and I felt that it was important to prove my fun coolness to the hot bartender!)
The venue doesnt need much decor at all because it is so contemporary and sophisticated. Great for a bride on a buget. We did homemade iced sugar cookies at each place setting with their blue/brown polka dot motif, place cards that also served double duty as the menu card (it was inside) and had the biggest sparkler exit I have ever seen. The sparklers were like 3 feet long but boy, was the photo awesome! And speaking of photos, Dave Rusell was the photographer. What an awesome guy. He is not only adorable and shy (everyone’s shy compared to us) but he is very talented…and humble! (hard to find) He is also SO QUICK in getting photos back to you. In fact, he got a slideshow to me within 3 days and has already sent the pictures to the couple…I am still recovering from the tequila shot (not really).
