The reception for the newlyweds took place at the regal Missouri Athletic Club, who also were the pastry chefs for the delicious wedding cake.

Steven Mueller Florist created fun and vibrant centerpieces with a peacock feather accents amongst rich fuschia roses, green cymbidium orchids, hydrangea, & hypericum. BBJ Linens, Party Arts and Millennium Music transformed the already majestic Missouri Ballroom into a breathtaking scene, all of this pulled together by Cosmoplitan Events’ Wedding Planner, Elizabeth Cordes.

Jana and Brian even had a small sweetheart table to themselves, placed on the MAC’s beautiful black marble dance floor. The table numbers, escort cards, and fold out donation favors designed by Cosmopolitan Events provided the perfect finishing touches.

The bride even adorned a feather in her hair for the evening festivities. After enjoying a fabulous sit-down dinner, the guests danced the night away to the tunes of Lenny Klinger’s Galaxy. Every magical moment was captured by Artisian Photography and Lifetime Media. We are proud to have been a part of Jana and Brian’s special day, congratulations and best wishes to you both!

The early Autumn showers sparked a last minute location change for Jenny and Justin’s nuptials, but the ceremony under the tent was “nothing short of magical”, said Ellen Ravenel, Mother of the Bride. Chasley Bradbury, Cosmopolitan Events‘ Wedding Planner, and her team of assistants relocated the ceremony just before Jenny and Justin said “I do”, and it was picture-perfect. Jenny looked stunning in her ivory and champagne gown. Her bridesmaids wore elegant black dresses and carried bouquets of pave fuchsia roses. Following the ceremony, the happy couple’s grand exit was complimented by a breathtaking double rainbow across the horizon, perhaps nature’s apology for the dreary weather! A special thanks to Event Partners for providing the ceremony and cocktail hour tent. The tent created a beautiful atmosphere along with the lighting by The Aries Company and amazing flowers by Petals Galore.

After cocktail hour under the tent, the celebration continued in the winery and on the deck overlooking the vineyard. Steven Becker Fine Dining catered a delectable feast, providing Italian inspired food stations. A magnificent Antipasto Display tempted guests while enjoying various Chandler Hill wines. The food stations incorporated the Tuscan theme with items such as Bruschetta, Sauteed Shrimp Scampi and Tiramisu.

“La Nostra Via Dell Amore” translation into english is “Our Pathway of Love” and was brought into the designs of the porcelain ring bowl during the ceremony, and the napkins for cocktail hour.

Following dinner, the sounds of Galaxy Red drew guests to their feet to dance the night away. Guests also enjoyed fine cigars with custom paper bands and after dinner drinks. Photographer Brandi Brown did an amazing job of capturing all of the special moments throughout the evening.

Yours Truly,

The most tempting part of the evening was the desert bar, complete with a beautiful cake and cupcakes designed by The Cakery.

Under a tent provided by Event Partners, guest sipped on cocktails accented with pink and navy stir sticks, created by yours truly Cosmopolitan Events.

The night then kicked off with the awesome sounds of Lenny Klinger’s Galaxy Band, under italian string lights and illuminated lanterns. Guest relaxed on modern lounge pods provided by Parties & Props. The newly weds were announced into the tent, surrounded by a crowd of family and friends with dazzling sparklers in hand.
