Colors in the Centerpieces are the Right amount (and the right Budget)

You don't have to have decorations all over the room to change the look of your wedding venue. Nicely adorned centerpieces that accent your wedding colors are enough to brighten the room of your reception. Having floral arrangements, chair covers, colored linens, balloons, and other decorations can bring a lot of color to your room, but can also be very expensive. Choosing to have colorful centerpieces can be low in cost, but still look fantastic! You can use anything from flowers and candles to fruit and vases with water. Using simple items such as a fish bowl or a large martini glass and placing floating candles or flowers inside makes a very nice centerpiece. You can also use the season to inspire your centerpieces; use pumpkins and colorful fall leaves for an autumn wedding or fruit and bright flowers for a spring or summer wedding. As long as your centerpiece includes the colors chosen for your wedding you can have any creative arrangement on your tables to change the look of your ballroom and give your wedding the right amount of color.

Holiday Weekend Weddings/Sunday Receptions

Weddings on holiday weekends are very popular and can be more accommodating to your guests and their travel needs. If you hold your wedding on a Sunday of a holiday weekend (i.e. Memorial Day Weekend, Labor Day Weekend, or Columbus Day Weekend), travel time is available for most of your guests on Saturday so they do not have to leave work and then on Monday to return home (or to recover). With a Sunday wedding, your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner can be on a Saturday (instead of Friday) which helps those in your wedding party to miss less work as well. At Waterford at Fair Oaks, Sundays of holiday weekends usually fill up before the Saturdays do!

Sundays of non-holiday weekends are not as popular at Waterford at Fair Oaks and your reception is likely to be the ONLY reception with us. Sundays on non-holiday weekends also have a reduced rate from our Saturday evenings and timing is very flexible. You can have an early afternoon ceremony and/or reception with us and give your guests plenty of time to get home and get ready for work the next day.

Ceremony + Wedding Receptions --- Why to have your whole day at one place.

Why add to the stress of your big day by having to deal with more than one location? Waterford at Fair Oaks can hold your ceremony and reception.



Church Reception:
Dieing to have a church reception? You can make this happen at Waterford at Fair Oaks. Check out this picture below of stained glass windows projected up onto our ballroom walls. This simple addition created a bride's perfect church wedding!
Outdoor Ceremony:
Do you really want to have an outdoor reception? This can be very difficult to have and the weather cannot be controlled by you. Is it worth the risk? Waterford at Fair Oaks can hold your reception indoors where the climate is controlled by us. Then you can go to a nearby park or outside on our property to take pictures.



You can also use us as the "Plan B" if you choose to have your reception outdoor somewhere else.
