What is the color of love?



Add the beauty of color to your wedding theme and design.  Think unique and outside of the box to make your event a stand out. Vibrant color combinations have the ability to evoke passion and energy.  Softer palettes can bring out the romance in everyone’s soul.  Find your inspiration from nature, the sea, the dessert or the latest fashion runways.  Let color guide your imagination and the possibilities will be endless.

Adriana and Andrew


Adriana and Andrew met a little over two years ago through a mutual friend. But by devine intervention it turned out that they both worship at the same congregation.  It has been a story book romance ever since.  One afternoon Adriana went off to join her girlfriends for an afternoon tea party and upon her return home Andrew surprised her by romantically spelling out the words "marry me" with candles.  Obviously, the answer was yes!  We wish them all the joy and happiness in the world!

Something To Sip On

Signature Wedding Cocktails

  Personalize your wedding even further by offering a signature cocktail to coincide with the theme or color scheme.  In the spring and summer months think fruity, sparkling beverages.  In the cooler weather you can lean towards heavier, darker mixtures.  Here at the Holiday Inn and Suites we are famous for our martini menu.  Below are some recommendations served at our award winning “Sky” bar.
