Beautiful Belvedere Banquets

Our gorgeous backdrop with pink uplighting at Belvedere Banquets.
We had another busy September wedding weekend which included Laura & Charlie’s ceremony and reception at the beautiful Belvedere Banquets in Elk Grove Village. Orla and her staff are always a pleasure to work with and the room has such an elegant atmosphere including a spiral staircase which DJ Jay Sims used for the Bridal Party Introductions. Our Elegant Event Lighting team also provided a gorgeous backdrop with pink uplighting to further enhance the space.
Maid of Honor Cami, was a former bride of Jay’s, so as a surprise he played her first dance song “You” by Bonnie Raitt so she and husband Phil could share a special moment together. Photographer Kelly Vanderploeg captured the evening with her photojournalistic style as guests danced the night away. And at the end of the night we captured a photo of our 2 lovely couples with Jay.

Hotel Baker Wedding Showcase

The beautiful Rainbow Room at Hotel Baker in St. Charles
We had the pleasure of spending our Sunday afternoon at Hotel Baker’s Wedding showcase, and would like to thank Liz Weber and her wonderful staff for putting together such an amazing event for local wedding vendors and future Brides & Grooms. Guests enjoyed a wine tasting in the Rainbow Room which was beautifully decorated in purple (our favorite color!), by Liz and her staff along with a gorgeous Head Table Centerpiece provided by Town & Country Gardens. Something 2 Dance 2 DJ Entertainment provided the music in the Rainbow Room and was joined by Kelly Vanderploeg Photography.
The Waterfront Room overlooking the lovely Fox River was all abuzz with a slide show provided by Alex Claney Photgraphy and a delicious ice cream sundae bar provided by Coldstone Creamery. Guests enjoyed stepping outside on the Waterfront Patio to enjoy their wine or ice cream.
The St. Charles Room was also filled with wonderful wedding vendors. Rolf’s Patisserie provided gourmet pastries and Wedding Cake for all to enjoy. Jim from JP Jewelers provided custom designed rings, and Classic Chassis provided the most beautiful Red Rolls Royce parked right outside of Hotel Baker for our couples to check out.
I speak from true experience to the level of dedication the team at Hotel Baker provides as Jay & I renewed our vows here for our “10 Seasons of Love” Anniversary Party in 2007.
