The best day ever
The hotel only hosts one wedding per day so we were happy to get into the ballroom really for set up. We even set up a first look early at the lounge. And shoutout to chef Charles! We had a special derby themed wedding cocktail hour and desserts! Everyone raved over the pimento cheese, southern biscuits and gravy, and pecan derby dessert pies.
The suite was big enough for hair and make up. The hotel had special treats all lined up for our dog Snacks!
Thank you for helping our day run so smoothly. It’s always hectic, but everything worked out!
Fun City Wedding of My Dreams
I took my venue tour with Desiree and from the very beginning she brought high energy. She showed everything the venue had to offer and described what our day would look like! She has great vision while keeping our preferences at the foresight. At every step of the planning process, she was able to break down my options and guide me to what would be best for what my vision was. Desiree was also my day-of coordinator, and she was so professional. She kept my timeline tight while also finding me time with my new husband away from the crowd. She made sure that I got time to enjoy our food choices, even set us up with our own charcuterie board during cocktail hour so that we were able to have some instead of missing anything due to the busy timeline. She was also so supportive of our guests. My FIL had a blood sugar drop right before our ceremony, and he raves about how caring Desiree was in helping him!
The Hotel facilities were amazing for our special day. I was set up in the presidential suite as the bridal suite, and this room was amazing. Space for all my bridesmaids to relax and hair and make up professionals had plenty of space! The natural light from the window made for amazing morning selfies, and my view of independence hall and the mall was crazy!
We had our ceremony in Stratus Lounge and the club seating made it feel so intimate and not like hundreds of people were staring at you. It honestly felt like only a few people close to us until out officiant had us look our over the crowd. The architecture added an old-school city rooftop vibe, and my guests LOVED the angel wings. Everyone was taking pictures in front of them during cocktail hour.
The reception space was so nice. The soft purple walls felt very elegant! The space was easily customizable to our needs. They had all the options for size of tables, types of tables, etc. I loved that we had two bar set-ups so there was never a line at the bar! The food they served at the reception was to-die-for! Everything was so delicious!
This venue was worth everything penny I have them, and my guest are still telling me how great everything was!
