On May 9 Union Project got to host its first large Wedding Reception of the current wedding season. They were a wonderful group of caring individuals that were extremely creative in working with the Great Hall. They brought in a large of friends and family to help them with decorations and set up.
Their reception had a guest list of 165 and they decided to use a combination of rented 72" round tables and the 8ft banquet tables available with all space rentals here at the UP. They also decided to get very nice, and what turned out to be rather shiny, periwinkle table clothes. The color works very well in the space and with the color scheme in the stained glass windows.
My favorite part of this rental was their creative use of tissue paper to make many floating orbs, giving the great hall a striking impression of having a lower ceiling. They did all this with an elaborate rigging system of fishing line and tape.
They couple also decided to use the Atrium and Board Room as part of their rental. The Board Room was used as caterer prep space and the Atrium was used to do a bar and the buffet. Over all they used about 12 hours of rental time, including 3 for set up and about 1.5 for clean up.
Congratulations on such a lovely reception!
