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.
