The Chandelier

As promised, here are pictures of our COMPLETED chandelier. It really makes the room so much more special.

Atrium Ballroom, a set on Flickr.

Come by and see it in person, the pictures do it no justice.

Takes my breath away.

Annual Masquerade Ball

Big Mask Party

New Years Eve 2012

It's the second annual Big Mask Party at the Colonnade. We are all extremely excited and have been working hard to make sure it is a night to remember! There will be a decadent plated dinner, 5 hour open bar, entertainment by The Great Expectations band, a late night comfort buffet, a balloon drop, and of course a champagne toast at midnight to celebrate! 

Enjoy the great video made my our friends at Wedding411.

Everyone is invited to the party! You can find more information and buy your tickets here.

The Newest Addition

The week we have all been waiting for at the Colonnade is finally here!

This week our engineers, mechanics, managers, EVERYONE, have been working hard on the light fixture installation for our newest venue, the Atrium Ballroom. Now this isn't just any light fixture. This is the light fixture that makes the ballroom. It took a lot of input from our team members and even more time spent online window shopping to find this gorgeous structure.

Finding the one we wanted and all agreed on was actually the easy part of the project. But, finding the  time to install the piece and actually putting everything together is the hard part. When you are a hotel, it is actually quite difficult to find any kind of time to install something. We have to check the schedules a few days prior to the big day, look a week or two out to give us time to test it out, and most important, make sure we won't be disturbing our guests or neighbors. The chandelier itself is a task to put together. (It may be hard to tell from the picture, but each strand of crystals is individually attached to each tier, that man has some serious patience)

The chandelier makes the room. It is absolutely stunning. LED lighting and tiers of crystals, this structure is going to bring many “ooh’s” and “aah’s”. It hangs from the center of the dome so our neighbors can see it too!

It is a work in progress right now but once the project is complete, there will be even more pictures to see!

What do you think so far?
