Congratulations Richard and Stacey




This wedding reception was held at The Gallery, which is awesome! We’ve never played here before and I fell in love with the venue the minute we walked on to the grounds. The architecture is amazing, the vine-covered walls and patios are beautiful, and the ballroom is unique with its open- to-upstairs dance floor and brick walls. One thing I noticed is that this is the perfect location if you want to do uplights or a custom Gobo. They would look beautiful in this room. Tara, the coordinator is also great to work with. She’s been there for over 2 years and really knows what she’s doing. The Gallery is truly a unique venue in Houston and you should check it out for your wedding.

The colors for today were black and white with aqua accents. Those colors are so pretty, especially for a summer wedding; The Bridesmaids wore aqua dresses, with a wrap style bodice and ruffle trim running down the front of the skirt. They were very cute and very easy to wear again! The chivari chairs were tied with aqua ties, and the white table cloths were covered with sheer white organza overlays embroidered with aqua swirl designs. It was so pretty! Also, there were aqua matches for the sparkler exit. For favors, there were full sized customized Hershey candy bars for each guest.

The dancing was, as usual, a great time for all. This crowd danced to all types of music and they obviously enjoyed themselves. There dance contest between the Maid of Honor and a Groomsmen as they danced to MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This”. That was funny! Then there was a mini dance floor hoe down to “Ring of Fire”, followed by sing alongs to “I Had the Time of My Life” and “Footloose”. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention all the cute little ones at this reception: a two week old, a five month old, and many more. They were all so adorable!

After the Toasts by the Maid of Honor (who said she was really nervous, but then gave a perfect toast and seemed totally at home talking on a microphone), the Best Man, and a guest with a special message sent long distance from Australia, it was Cake Cutting time. Then, after a bit of dancing, we were on to the Money Dance. We wrapped that up and it was time for the Bouquet and Garter. The Maid of Honor caught the bouquet and the Best Man caught the garter. It’s not often that happens!

Finally the evening came to a close and it was time for Stacey and Richard to make their exit. They ran through sparklers, climbed in their Town Car, and drove away to their new life. Congratulations to the Newylweds!
