"King Arthur and The Knights of The Bridal Party Table"

This was not a wedding at Medieval Times, if that's what your thinking. The reception of Kristina Lau and John Blaschek's wedding was held at the Hotel InterContinental on Michigan Avenue. The name of the room was King Arthur's court. Hence the catchy title. My assistant was Emily Hard, who had a few weeks earlier registered our newlyweds at Pottery Barn (Emily's day job). Mark Rottman, the InterContinental's catering manager, held a high standard of service towards Kristina, John, and all of their guests. It was great to see the InterContinental's great attention to detail in action!

I put together a jazzy, spazzy, Sinatraish mix together for cocktails. This carried over into dinner and dancing. Kristina and John's guests packed the floor throughout the night. The music seemed to go from Motown and Disco sets (Aretha Franklin, The Bee-Gee's, Earth Wind & Fire) in the first half, to Hip Hop and Pop sets (Outcast, Beyonce, Usher) in the second half. It was a fun night filled with family, friends, celebation, acknowledgement, and history. All surrounding the love between Kristina and John. We capped the night with a favorite of their's, Michael Buble's "Save The Last Dance For Me".

It was a great night. We received a HUGE tip! Much thanks to Kristina and John for their gratitude.
