Holly and Emmett Have First Wedding Reception At Cobblestone Hall!

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

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. he-321

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.

Special Presentation By Sasha Souza at Cobblestone Hall for ISES meeting

Friday, June 4th, 2010

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.
