LaCentre Open House

Last week I had the pleasure of attending an open house at LaCentre Banquet Facility and Conference Center in Westlake. This place is....for lack of a better word.... grand! The chandeliers are my absolute favorite aspect of this venue. They look so regal and sparkling! I also have to mention that I love the carpeting there. So many venues have that loud multi-colored paisley print carpeting (because they don't show stains, in case you ever wondered)....but LaCentre went for a toned down darker version of printed carpeting that looks great. Their overall color scheme is neutral, which makes it so easy for a designer like me to incorporate any theme or color scheme without conflicting with the venue decor.

I didn't get any photos of the banquet rooms, but I did get some photos of the main foyer. Definitely check this venue out if you're looking for a space for a wedding reception, banquet, party, etc... on the west side!

Event Expo :: My Favorite Things

I wandered through the different sections of the expo. While the food is great, and the venues are nice, my favorite part is always the event design portion. Here are a few photos from my favorite displays of the day.

I just posted about chandeliers a few weeks ago, and how they're a hot for events right now....so it's no surprise that my favorite display of the day showcased these awesome black chandeliers!



This was a favorite for two reasons; (A) because of the color, and (B) because of the sparkle. It was the first thing I saw when I came around the corner and the first place I went.



Michael Cerbelli talked about these during his presentation, and I absolutely loved them. Clear candelabras that are taken apart into panels for slim shipping, and they are totally see-through! You can have your candles and bouquet of flowers in a grand centerpiece, all without obstructing your guest's view. And bonus, you can add LED lighting in any color underneath for a wow-effect!
