Let Them Eat Cake event at Antiquite Maison Privee

WOW! The cakes were AMAZING! The “Let Them Eat Cake” event was for brides to be to have a relaxed environment while they got to eat cake and yummy other desserts from some of the top Bakeries/Bakers in Sacramento. Kristina Smith with Wish Bridal put on this event and it was the first of it’s kind. We provided DJ, Emcee and ambience lighting for this event and what a beautiful and perfect venue for it! Antiquite Maison Privee is a newer location but so beautiful, rustic and artistic. We had eight Wedding Cake decorators decorate some amazing cakes with our Marie Antoinette theme. They also had the opportunity to have a table to show off other work they do so we had LOT and LOTS of sweets!! The fabulous and of course one of our favs Mimi & Company provided all the linens, they are crazy! Here is a highlight video from Jeff Sharpe of Sharpe Photographers, you get to see a little about how GORGEOUS it all looked and DELICIOUS. Thanks Jeff:

All so unique and lots of fun. Here are some pics of each cake. They had all our “brides to be” be the judges to vote on Best Table Presentation, Best Tasting and Best Decor.

I know lots of pictures but thank you Diana Miller with Diana Miller Photography for taking (almost) all these pics so we can show off this amazing talent! I was told this was with her camera phone too, WOW is she good or what. :0) We were excited to be apart of this event and for all the talented vendors and friends we have. We just love them all. A few more shout outs to others who were a part of making this happen: Shelley Larkin with Pizzazz Event Planning, the adorable Audrey with Botanica Floral Design did all the stunning flowers, Carmen Salazar-Burke with Carmen Salazar Photography, can’t wait to see her pics, Calligraphy Girl did the custom name tags, Invitation ink, Vintage Carriage Co. showcased their Cinderella Carriage and last but definitely not least Chocolate Fountains Delite for the yummy chocolate fountain. Whew… it takes a lot to put the these events so I want to make sure we recognize all these hard working vendors. Thanks Kristina again for letting us be a part of your event, be sure to check out Wish Bridal often to see upcoming events, make a consultation for your wedding dress and to become a VIB (Very Important Bride) Bride!

Summary of December

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

It was a long enjoyable month in December. We have taken some time off to regroup and now we are ready and roaring to go for 2010!! We have so many amazing brides and grooms for this year and look forward to the others we will book. If you are getting married Sound Image Entertainment would love to be a part of your big day to help make it enjoyable and full of memories!

I wanted to add some lighting that we did in December. Most of our events were Corporate events but we had a few lighting events:

First was the AfWPi Christmas dinner. I had the pleasure to be the Chair of this committee this year so got to help plan it all. I had an amazing team and line up of vendors. Mike with Creative Memories Entertainment was our fabulous DJ, he had the kids so excited when Santa came. We had gorgeous couture linens by Mimi & Co., Jeremy with Sharpe Photographers took our amazing pictures with Santa. We had a plethora of delicious food by Hannibals Catering, festive sweet cakes for each table by Shelton’s Wedding Cakes, Action Flip Books provided by Matthew Allen Weddings which was really fun and unique and the amazing staff and Bartenders from Country Club Event Center. It was an amazing event!!

Weddings at their finest: Delta King Downtown Sacramento

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Paddlewheel room at the Delta King

November 28 at the beautiful Delta King we had the opportunity to provide ambient lighting for Mike and Debra. These two wanted nothing but the best for their wedding and guests. This was a second marriage for both of them and you could tell they really found true love this time. They wanted everyone to feel how happy and in love they were by the atmosphere and ambience; they didn’t hold back.

We only provided services for the Ceremony which took place downstairs in the Mark Twain Salon. It is a beautiful, unique room on the bottom of the boat but it’s a little dark and is not uniform in it’s shape. It also has an air conditioning unit that is placed in the front of the room where the Ceremony was to take place. Mike and Debra wanted to add some soft ambient lighting to customize it to their colors while complimenting their chair covers and drapes but keep the uniqueness of the room. This room was transformed, it was intimate and full of all their closest family and friends. We did lighting while Mimi & Co. provided chair covers and drapes on the front wall to cover the un-uniformed room. It was a large wedding; between the two of them they have 10 kids! It will be a fun merge of two families. We didn’t provide services for the Reception which was in the Paddlewheel room but I wanted to add a few pictures of all the gorgeous linens by Mimi & Co. We love how they customize all their linens and the fun, funky ways they make linens talk to you. Here are their lighting pictures and a few from the reception:

It wasn’t too long ago we met Mike and Debra at the Delta King’s: Fall into your Wedding Plans Open House earlier this month. We were there with their photographer Andre and Irene with Eye Connoisseur, Jenny from the Delta King and Mimi & Co. They had already booked Eye Connoisseur, Jenny and Mimi & Co. but not lighting. We were able to show them what we could do for them while brainstorming with their whole team. We went over different ideas and ways to make the rooms pop.

A few shout outs to the awesome vendors who made this happen. Jenny with the Delta King is ALWAYS so amazing and willing to do all she can to help all her clients out. Along with the Delta King staff for making the delicious Hors d’oeuvres, serving them and setting up. Always pleasant! :) We also had the chance to work with the hilarious and feisty Peggy Brown, Harpist. We have met her and heard wonderful things and she is so sweet and fun. She truly is a talented lady. She played for the Ceremony and the whole Reception which added to the feel of the day. Another first was Andre and Irene with Eye Connoisseur Photography. We have known them forever (it seems) but hadn’t had the opportunity to work with them until now. It was great to see the flawless way they communicated and helped each other. We saw a few engagement pictures and they just made Mike and Debra glow. We are excited to see the rest. Here’s a few more pictures of different colors of lighting:
