This Saturday, July 24th, 2010, Showtime Events in Michigan got an opportunity to work with the American auto maker, Chrysler. The suburban Detroit based manufacturer rolled out the red carpet this weekend for their Walter P. Chrysler Legacy Gala.
The Gala, which was the first inaugural, was held at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, Mi. was clearly the toast of the town this evening. The event was set up to honor the history of the Chrysler Corporation, raise funds for the museum, and recognize automotive icons. Racing legend, and honoree, Richard Petty made an appearance, along with a refurbished model of his old number 43 car. Late show talk host and funnyman Jay Leno was also honored, as was former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca. Former Chrysler designer Virgil Exner was also honored posthumously by the near 600 in attendance.
The entrance of the building was lined with classic Chrysler cars. Floating above each were Airstar Lunix 200 lighting balloons provided by Showtime Events. As darkness fell over the event, the cars were illuminated by the bright lights of the Airstar balloons, creating an outdoor exhibit for the guests to enjoy.
The Gala was a huge success, as $1 million was raised to support the museum. Showtime Events was honored to be part of the wonderful event.

On Saturday July 3, 2010, Sarah Parkerson and Stephen Day celebrated their marriage with a beautiful garden inspired reception at Cobblestone Hall.
A delicious menu was provided by Catering Works and beautiful floral arrangements from Petal Pushers helped to make the room look phenomenal. Growing up in Scotland, the bride wanted traditional Scottish music performed by a live band. The guests had a blast learning the steps and dancing the night away! Guests also had a lot of fun taking pictures in the photo booth that was complete with funky sunglasses, feather boas, picture frames, and many other creative props. It was very popular and everyone really enjoyed taking pictures all night!
At the end of the evening, guests lined the cobblestone streets with giant 
sparklers and began to sing The Temptations’ “My Girl” and saw the bride and groom off. Showtime Events would like to offer a huge congratulations to the bride and groom and wish them many years of happiness!

On Sunday, June 27, 2010 Cobblestone Hall was honored to be a big part of the marriage of Jessica Zabarsky and Mike El Mann. This special event was 
the first time Cobblestone Hall was the location for both the ceremony and reception. A focal part of the ceremony was the stunning Chuppah created by Fresh Affairs that the couple was married under. The following reception also featured centerpieces and candle arrangements from Fresh Affairs that added wonderful colors to the entire facility.
The food was provided by Mitchell’s Catering and guests dined on a menu of wild mushroom crostinis, watermelon and red onion salad, and herbed roulade of wild salmon with summer vegetable couscous, roasted red pepper-orange vinaigrette, and bundle of summer beans. This was accompanied by baked challah rolls and a beautiful multi tiered red velvet wedding cake. LED lighting around the perimeter of the room and 12 foot high custom Austrian swag draping connected the entire room together for both the ceremony and reception.
After dinner the guests got out of their seats with Ken from Bunn DJ Company getting the party started and keeping everyone dancing until late in the evening. It really was a fantastic afternoon and evening that will not soon be forgotten. We would like to congratulate Jessica and Mike again for letting us be a part of their special day and wish then nothing but happiness in the future.

Wedding season officially got started at Cobblestone Hall on Saturday, May 15, 2010. Holly and Emmett celebrated their big day with a beautiful reception at Cobblestone Hall along with 200 of their friends and family.The guests danced and toasted Holly and Emmett until late in the evening and everyone had an amazing time. 
One of the challenges during the reception was the fact that Artsplosure, a massive annual arts festival that attracts over 50,000 people, had all of the streets in the entire surrounding area closed during the same weekend. Working with the Artsplosure organizers a back road into City Market was left open so we could get the wedding party and guests to the venue on time. On the day of the reception everything went smoothly and the event went off without any delays or issues.
All of us at Cobblestone Hall and Showtime Events want to congratulate Holly and Emmett (and their entire families) again. It was an honor to be part of the wonderful event and special day.

Showtime Events and Cobblestone Hall were the host for the ISES meeting on April 27, 2010. The local ISES chapter (Greater Triangle NC Chapter) went overboard with the design and decor of the new event space with beautiful linens, florals, candles, lighting, and exceptional buffet stations for the meeting.
Nationally known wedding planner Sasha Souza from Sasha Souza Events was the featured speaker at the meeting and over 100 people were in attendance. Her presentation featured images and information from events she has produced. It also highlighted many helpful ideas for all who attended to incorporate into their future events. The meeting was an enormous success and the feedback was incredible.
For many who came to the meeting this was their first chance to see the new Cobblestone Hall venue and everything the space has to offer. The entire space looked amazing and a special thanks goes out to all of the sponsors (please see list below). Premier Catering provided a fantastic menu for the night that included hand passes items and multiple food stations.
Thank you to the following sponsors of April’s Greater Triangle NC ISES Chapter Meeting who assisted with making the meeting at Cobblestone Hall a huge success.
