So, as of Saturday, we officially have a location for the wedding & reception! We decided since most of our guests will be coming from out of town, it would be fair to them (and much easier for us too) to have as many of the events as close to each other as possible. The date is October 23, 2010 at The Grand Opera House in St. Charles, MO. I only have a couple pictures right now, but I will have more very soon.
The Grand Opera House is an old opera house from the late 1800s that was just recently renovated into a banquet center. We felt like it will give us the most flexibility with what we want to do. It's a really cool space and we are really excited to get working it!
As of now, the plan will be to have the wedding around 3pm and after the ceremony, everyone will be asked to walk just down the street (literally about half a block) to Quintessential (I'll refer to it as "Club Q" from now on) for a cocktail hour. This will give the staff of the Grand Opera House and the wedding planner to get the space ready for the reception. After about an hour or so at Club Q, everyone will head back down to the Grand Opera House for the reception and dinner. As of now, we're thinking the reception will start around 5pm and will end somewhere in between 10pm and 11pm.
Other than that, we have a meeting with a wedding planner on Friday and are continuing to look at photographers and videographers. Now that we have the date and the location, I'm sure I'll be updating this blog much more often now since all the other pieces should start falling into place!
Take care!
