A class reunion to remember ✨

We heard the MHS Class of 2016, had a blast at their reunion here🖤❤️🤍 They had fantastic catered in food 🍽️ the bar was open in the banquet room 🥂 the Dj was playing music from their graduation era 🎶 ~ So much fun!

For decor & layout, we went with the dance floor up front by the stage 🪩 Modern loveseat & pampas towers for the photo op spot 🌾 With added pops of school colors. Centerpieces were our glass red & black vases, with faux florals and neutral stems to tie it all together ❤️🤍🖤

A few weekends ago, a beautiful Ceremony & Wedding Reception took place here🤍

The weather was perfect! Which meant their vows could be exchanged on the patio ⛅️

Lovely, simple decor donned their altar ~ Bentwood chairs were chosen for guest seating outside ~ With Historic Downtown Monroe as their backdrop ~ All of it coming together to match the vision for their vows 💍🤍

The flow into the reception was seamless as guests mingled outside for awhile, then headed to the banquet room for hors d’oeuvres & drinks before the wedding party entrance🥂 The tables were beautifully decorated with crystal candlesticks, bud vases & fresh florals 🌸

Catered in BBQ & sides, were top notch🤌🏼 Nothing but good things to say, from every guest 🍽️ The dessert & pastry table added to the aesthetic ~ everything was delicious 🍰

The reception was a total blast! Can you tell through the photos? With a playlist picked by the bride & groom, plus tons of requests from guests to keep everybody on the dance floor 🪩 Once the music started, the party didn’t stop until the very end!

We love to share the inside scoop when a Wedding turns out as lovely as this one! Here it is:
