One of our
niches is to provide a warm, welcoming space while
still allowing you great flexibility when choosing your
other vendors. Our venue-only rental option
allows you to book almost any other vendor that you choose for
your

CEREMONIES
with RECEPTIONS: Our capacity for a
ceremony and reception is a cozy 175 with reception-style seating. Up to 120 is very
comfortable and spacious. You might also consider holding a smaller
ceremony for immediate family and your closest friends (up to 40 or
so), then
inviting a larger crowd to enjoy the reception.
Events of more
than 60 guests must be seated
reception-style with guests already at their tables. A few
chairs can be placed in rows up close for parents and grandparents
in this setting. Smaller events of 60 or less can have row
seating if they like, with the tables set up off to the sides.
These arrangements allow us to provide a very quick and smooth
transition to your reception.
Holding both
your ceremony and reception here gives you an 8 hour total time-block the day of your
wedding. This generally breaks down to 1/2 hr. to get dressed,
2 hrs. for pictures, 1/2 hr. to hide while guests arrive, 4 hrs. for
the main event, and 1 hr. to pack up your gifts & leftovers & say
goodbye. You also get a 1 hour rehearsal the day or two before
your wedding, depending on our dance schedule and other events.
We provide
ceremony accessories to set the stage, including a black iron arch,
candelabras, vases of flowers coordinated to your colors, and a
unity table if so desired. You're welcome to decorate the arch
with fabric or a greenery swag to match your colors.
Rehearsal and
ceremony coordination are part of our facilitation services when you
choose to hold your ceremony at the Dance Street Ballroom. We
help everyone know where to be and when to be there, and cue the
appropriate people during the ceremony. We'll even fluff the
train of your dress right before you walk down the aisle.
Plan on arriving with your
hair and make-up already done, and your bridal party refreshed.
Food
and colored beverages are
not
allowed inside the bridal dressing room. You'll understand why when
you see it.
Live musicians are welcome for
ceremonies, but please take into account how much space they'll need
and whether you'll have it to spare. If you're having a
full-capacity ceremony of 175 you won't be able to fit in a
string-quartet as well.
If you plan on having a fairly
small weekday event, without a separate rehearsal or a dancing
reception, then talk to us and we may waive part of the ceremony
fee.
