Soulja Boy that Wedding

When I walked in on this Saturday afternoon I knew I was going to have a good night. Last month (yes, it took me almost a month to write this and I do apologize Mr. & Mrs. Tucker) on Saturday April 23, 2011 we had the pleasure of hosting the Ayres-Tucker reception. Vicki and Amanda Tole with Weddings by Spring Branch were the couples’ planners. Those ladies did a great job with this wedding. It was a very colorful occasion. The tables were covered with black linens and topped with green, pink, blue and yellow centerpieces. The walls were splashed with teal using our specialty LED lighting. The brides’ cake was 4-tie rd with pink polka dots and lime green swirls topped with a turquoise T. The grooms’ cake was the biggest (and tastiest) golf ball I have ever seen! Margie’s Sweet Shop did a great job with the cakes. El Chico’s catered the reception providing chicken and beef enchiladas. And yes, like Kendall, I love my job as food taster here at the Wellington. The chips and queso completed this amazing Mexican feast! Before dinner was served the father of the bride said a prayer and while everyone sat and ate we watched the cutest slide show of the couple. Marissa looked stunning in her wedding gown. The bridesmaids wore matching little black dresses and turquoise heals. The groomsmen wore black suits with turquoise ties and vest. Mr. Tucker himself wore a black suit with a white vest and tie. The photo booth, candy bar, and popcorn maker were outside on our terrace. It is no secret that we Wellington girls like to dance, and thanks to Mad Martin the dance floor stayed packed all night. For the mother-son dance they decided to play my favorite Rascal Flatts song, “My wish.” Now being a huge daddy’s girl, the father-daughter dance always pulls on my heart strings. We dimmed the lights and Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” starts to play, Marissa and her dear old dad start to dance and my heart just begins to melt. Then about a minute into it the music stops and we hear “Hey DJ, play something good!” Then to everyone’s surprise the pair pull out their "stunner shades" and we hear this classic Clapton song turn into Soulja Boy’s “Crank that” and they start to show off their superman moves!! It was so much fun! I personally think this was best father-daughter dance in the history of The Wellington. As the night came to an end, everyone waved the couple off as they whisked away in their limo to start their new life together. To Chris and Marissa, congratulations on finding your soul mates and thank you for letting us be a part of your big day! We wish you all the best!

Proms, Proms, Proms!!

After all of our amazing weddings we have had the pleasure of hosting, we were so excited to host something we've never hosted before, PROM. This past Thursday, we hosted Iowa Park's Rave-themed prom. It was so much fun! There were crazy lights everywhere you looked. We were able to hang some black lights over the dancefloor to carry out this super fun theme! Mark Tresnicky with Mobile Music Magic, was the DJ. He was fantastic! They had a video recorder going with the video posted on a screen on the dancefloor all night. It was so awesome for everyone to watch themselves on the screen! They had a fun and unique way to decide on their homecoming king and queen. This was decided by having a dance off. Anyone could join in on the dancing and whoever had the most amazing moves won the crown and became homecoming king and queen! Monarch catered the event providing chips and salsa, an ice cream soda bar, and a chocolate fountain! It was such a crazy and fun evening! two nights later, we got another go around at prom! Hirschi High School had the Romance in Rome themed prom. They had an amazing stage with columns for the homecoming court to stand on as they were being announced! Joshua David and his amazing crew came out to DJ the event. They are always so much fun and absolutely amazing! Again, Monarch came out and catered the prom with chips and salsa as well as the ice cream soda bar. It was just such a fun week and it let me relive my good ole high school days!

These are a few photos from Hirschi High Schools prom, followed by Iowa Park High School.

Blog fans,
I am so sorry that I have been so terrible about posting blogs lately! We have been super busy with wedding/prom season. It seems like every week is a busy week which is amazing! To catch you guys up to what has been going on up here at the WBCC, I will break it down for you!
About 3 weeks ago, Mr. and Mrs. Flores had their wedding ceremony and reception up here. It was a sweet ceremony. The bridesmaids wore a jade blue tea length dress with some fun pink converse shoes. Megan looked beautiful in her wedding dress. The ceremony took place on our terrace and the reception followed in our ballroom. Monarch catered the event with some great hors'douervs. The cakes were provided by United Market Street. The wonderful photographer for the evening was Chad Brackeen. He was so kind and let us post this video for all you guys to watch.

Our next big event was the following weekend. Halle Walker wed her now husband Matt Rodriguez. They had their wedding ceremony at Sacred Heart. Their reception was held in our grand ballroom. Halle's mother acted as the event planner, decorator, and matron of honor! She did a beautiful job on her the centerpieces. Monarch catered the reception with fajitas that were absolutely delicious. The cakes were provided by Aunt Glenda's. Halle's brother Luke played some dinner music on his guitar. He was awesome! The DJ for the rest of the evening was Mark Cannado. Everyone had a fabulous time at the wedding! Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures for this wedding to show all of you guys! It was so pretty, I wish that I had! Who knows, maybe I can scavenger up a few photos!

4 weeks ago, we got to host Marissa Ayres and her now husband Chris Tucker's wedding reception. Unfortunately, I did not get to work that wedding and instead of writing about it without even being there, Meghan (who did get to work the event) will be posting a blog about it on here soon!
