Open House 9/17 Photos

A mock ceremony with 100 mahogany chiavari chairs was set on the large patio facing the fountain, with Beige Moire chair sashes from Any Occasion Party Rental and flowers and lanterns by Dream Bouquet.



Under the breezeway were 3 tall cocktail tables with Beige Moire linens and Apple Taffeta sashes by Any Occasion Party Rental and crystal candle holders by Dream Bouquet.


The main reception room was arranged with a mix of lounge furniture from Prop Rock, 60" round tables decorated in different themes of green, black, silver, and white, and tall cocktail tables with Black Contour linens for a modern look.



The green up-lighting, pin-spot lighting on the centerpieces, and GOBO light for The Gallery were provided by Bright Star Productions.







Demeris Catering served from several hors d'oeuvres and entrée stations around the room.


Dream Bouquet's booth showed tons of beautiful photos and bouquets for brides to test drive.



Short cocktail tables were placed upstairs near the vendors' booths, with Platinum Satin linens and crystal candle holders.


Regina of Cherubs Chocolates shared samples of their delicious chocolate favors.


Kelly of Eventology Weddings wins for cutest display and for dressing to match her table! :)


This red cake by Cakes by Gina was definitely a show-stopper! In the background is Any Occasion Party Rental's display of even more unique and colorful linens.


Guests enjoyed the green-screen photo-op with Catch the Moment's fun alternative to a photo booth.

The Gallery welcomes a new assistant Event Manager!

We are excited to introduce a new member to our team, that will be working as the Event Manager for approximately half of the events here at The Gallery. She is currently training with Tara to learn the ropes of the venue, and she's excited to officially get started assisting at the events of our wonderful brides and clients! Here's a little more information about the newest face at The Gallery:


Kristina Simpkins-Kellogg is an innovative & experienced wedding consultant. She began doing weddings as a favor for close family friends in the Chicago area in 1999 and her career took off from there! Wedding consulting started off as a hobby, but quickly took on a life of its own as word of mouth networking began. She has done several weddings from Chicago, to Houston and has never come in with results less than extraordinary. She is excited about her job and loves the wedding industry. Kristina welcomes your questions and is available & waiting to make your dream day come true!


Kristina and Tara will be taking turns working each event, but Tara will remain the primary contact person prior to your event. Come by the Open House this Thursday for your first chance to meet Kristina!

Amber & Tomas 9.11.09

Amber and Tomas are both members of the military, and Amber actually planned most of the wedding from a tent in Iraq! Everything was beautiful, but I know she is relieved to finally be in Hawaii for their honeymoon!




Pappas Catering set up a quesadilla station and a stuffed avocado station during the cocktail hour, followed by a buffet dinner downstairs during the reception.



The delicious cake was made by Designers Cakes.



Congratulations Amber & Tomas!

Sarah & Danny 8.22.09

The ceremony was set on the large patio facing the ivy covered building, and these candle/flower aisle markers and petals down the stairs added a touch of color.


These purple lanterns were hung from the tree in the small patio, which was used for part of the cocktail hour.


Upstairs, the bar-high tables had arrangements of tulips, roses and candles, and globe lights were strung over the dance floor.










Congratulations Sarah & Danny! The wedding was beautiful, and everyone seemed to have a great time!
