Friday night we started the initial set-up. The ceremony room was to be draped around 10:00am. We were all surprised by how much smaller the room was. We knew it would be tiny, but it was even smaller than remembered. Also, the room had been filled with leftover wine glasses, tables, other odds and ends. This poor room had basically been used for temporary storage, which inhibited the draping process and took longer than expected.
The Silver Chiavari Chairs for the reception had arrived! They had to be stored in this room also, which made space a precious commodity.
Originally, the ceiling was going to be completely draped. However, the logistics of the room were such that draping the entire ceiling would take away too much head space. So sad, because it would have looked beautiful. However, the fantastic guys from Quest Drape made some innovative changes and transformed the ceiling into a billowing mass of sheer fluff:)

This lovely pic denotes the extremely skinny hallways to and from the ballroom. These led from the load-in area, through the kitchens and up to the ballrooms. We had to take these tight spaces into consideration when planning the execution of this event. Our motto..."Take more people, and get there way early"!!
