12.31.11 - Premier Banquet Center - Olean, NY
Marissa and Matt chose to get married on New Year's Eve, surrounded by loved ones and friends in their hometown of Randolph, NY. Following the ceremony, guests traveled to the beautiful and spacious Premier Banquet Center in Olean, NY for the wedding reception. The holiday decor was stunning, as Marissa and Matt had chosen a winter theme for the reception. In meeting with them during the planning process, the happy couple also chose an uplighting package from me with the venue uplit in beautiful white color to match the theme. Uplighting fixtures were placed near the head table and around the room. I can't say enough how much uplighting adds to the beauty of any event!
Following cocktail hour and hors d'oevres, guests took their seats as parents and bridal party members were officially introduced into the banquet center. Marissa and Matt had their first dance immediately, surrounded by the special people in their lives. After a delicious buffet dinner, the parents dances took place, then the dance floor was opened allowing guests to dance off their delicious meal! After the final formalities were complete, guests danced again as the midnight hour approached to ring in the new year!
By the time the countdown to midnight occurred, there wasn't an empty spot on the dance floor! Guests donned hats and blew noisemakers as 2012 was ushered in as dancing continued until 12:30 in the morning! Marissa and Matt couldn't have picked a more special date for their wedding! The reception rocked!
My thanks to another great team of professials! To the staff of the Premier Banquet Center, thank you for your warm hospitality and great teamwork! Also want to acknowledge photographer Aleida Foulk and videographer David Ruszkowski from Olean Digital Video
