Summer Wedding Reception on the Lake!

Over the summer I did a reception at The Candlewood Inn in Brookfield, CT. The couple was absolutely great! They booked me only two weeks before the reception and knew exactly what they wanted. We had our consultation a week prior and were all set! While we only provided up-lighting, that was all this venue needed. The low ceilings were actually beneficial to us because we were able to reflect the lights off of the white ceiling, which helped create a "glow" we would normally achieve through a ceiling wash. My favorite area of the night was the candy bar...not only did the up-lighting complement that area and lit it up perfectly- but that sweets weren't half bad either! With almost 25 candy choices there was something for everyone- pink themed of course!

The venue's staff and food was top-notch. Part of the Elegant Banquet family of reception facilities, The Candlewood Inn offers an elegant lakeside setting for events of up to 300 people. The DJ company, Dance to the Music Entertainment, did a wonderful job! I have worked with Jim Nuzzo before and he really knows how to motivate a crowd without being cheesy. The floral centerpieces, linens, and cake decorations were provided by Custom Floral Designs. Diane Gaudett and I have also worked numerous times together- nothing bad can be said about her and her team! Always super friendly and accomodating!

Overall the evening was a huge success all around! Thanks to all the vendors for working together to create a flawless event! But most of all, thanks to the client for being so easy to work with!
