Transforming the Coronado Ballroom to Fit Your Style

Friday, October 8th, 2010

From the beginning, Shannon had a vision of her dream wedding and with the help of amazing vendors and coordination from Ellen and Kristen with Bride’s Vision; we were all able to pull it off for her and Chris on June 5th.

Early on, Shannon decided upon the beautiful summer tones of turquoise, purple, and silver. Now, those that are familiar with the Coronado may at first wonder how that would look in a mostly gold-toned Ballroom. However, with the help of our friends at Millennium Productions and a little uplighting, they transformed the traditional Ballroom into a purple palace. To finish the look, a turquoise glow was projected on the cove of the Ballroom along with the couple’s monogram, and pin spots illuminated the floral centerpieces.

Shannon wanted to keep her guests guessing all night, so the cocktail hour in the Grand Lobby provided one look: purple bengaline linen provided by BBJ Linen, turquoise and cream florals provided by Festive Atmospheres, a signature cocktail named the Blue Hawaiian (both the bride’s favorite drink and the locale of their engagement), and flat screen TVs provided by Millennium Productions displayed the couple’s beautiful engagement portraits by Sal Cincotta.

As guests moved into the North Ballroom for dinner and dancing, a new look was unveiled: turquoise organza and sequin custom-made linens provided by BBJ Linen, silver chiavari chairs provided by Premier Rentals, centerpieces of vibrant turquoise and purple dendrobium orchids, purple hydrangea, and roses created by Festive Atmospheres, and an intimate sweetheart table with a silk back drop provided by Millennium Productions. A draped lounge area in the South Ballroom provided by Millennium Productions offered the perfect get away from the packed dance floor – Elite Pro DJs kept guests dancing all night!

The custom wedding cake by Steven Becker Fine Dining mimicked the silver scroll design of the wedding invitations with edible silver dust and the groom’s cake by Kreative Kakes was an ode to Chris’ hometown – a large New Orleans Saint’s fleur de lis and football helmet.

At the end of the evening, Shannon surprised her groom with the Funky Butt Brass Band to lead a traditional New Orleans Second Line Dance with custom handkerchiefs as a take-away for each guest and Millennium Productions’ videographer was there for every moment of when St. Louis met New Orleans.

Pictures by Sal Cincotta will be added to our Facebook soon!

Vendor Spotlight: Millennium Productions

Monday, August 30th, 2010

There are so many great vendors in St. Louis that I love, but one specific company always goes above and beyond – Millennium Productions. Not only do they offer excellent customer service to our clients and outstanding options (where else in St. Louis can you book video, DJ, bands, lighting, AND design all at the same place?!) but they are great to work with from the vendor side also. I can trust them to show up on time, respect our venue, be flexible, and provide amazing services. They also understand the relationship and services we provide our clients and are great team players. It takes many vendors to pull off a seamless wedding reception and I know I can recommend them without hesitation or worry. Every time the Millennium Team arrives, I can rest assured that we’re going to have an amazing night.

The Macauley-Velocci Reception

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Over the years I have heard many wonderful stories of how people met. From high school sweethearts to the internet, people can connect in the most wonderful ways. Such was the case for my wonderful bride Kaetlyn Macauley. Kate is a St. Louis girl who went to study in Italy and found herself a husband. I really should travel more…
Francesco is a charming, soft spoken man and although my Italian is a bit rusty, I could tell instantly that he loved Kate just by the way he looked at her. Since Kate and Francesco lived in Rome, most of the planning was done by Kate’s parents, Bob and Geri Macauley. I adore Bob and Geri and I credit them for doing such an amazing job planning when their daughter was on the other side of the world. For Brides who do live long distance, e-mail and Skype are life savers and provide the opportunity for daily dialogue. For me, it seemed like Kate was just somewhere in St. Louis writing from her computer…minus the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain! We were able to make many of the decisions while they were in town for their tasting. The important thing that Kate did was to realize that a winter wedding needs to look like winter. I have seen photos and attended winter events that must have been planned in June or July…the look does not translate. Winter weddings mean less light and require a bit more sparkle. Kate chose deep red and eggplant purple for her event and the contrast of those rich tones against the winter night was striking. The addition of those colors added to the holiday decorations instilled the effect even more. With guests from all over the world, the Coronado Ballroom signature service and Limoncello Martini were hits. The incredible dessert buffet with home made Cannoli was the finishing touch on a frosty and fabulous evening.
Ahhhhh…La Dolce Vita…
