Winter Wonderland!

Jessica & Matt
12/18/10






Winter Weddings are absolutely fabulous, in fact Winter is my favorite season for weddings. The quintessential ice, snow, crystals and a touch of deep purple had guests raving about the decor at Matt & Jessica's December nuptials. Not a bad way to start my career at the Omni Severin Hotel.




Coming from off premise catering where winter weddings were unheard of, I got my first taste of the magic of a winter wedding. As the Jessica and Matt exited the ceremony as husband and wife the heavens opened up and it snowed inside of the Omni Severin Hotel.





The Severin Lobby was adorned with holiday decor, twinkle lights, and white floral to make this dinner fit for a winter feast.

First Impression Band kicked off dancing with their first dance. As Matt twirled Jessica around the dance floor all guests were in awe of their grace and immense love for each other.




As the night wore on the party got more lively, all couples of all ages were on the dance floor having a great time.




Best of luck to you Jessica and Matt!!

Wedding Planner Bridezilla?

Are wedding planner brides doomed to being bridezillas?



As many of you now know I myself am a Omni Bride. On September 2, 2012 my wonderful Fiance Ben and I will be getting married under the sparkling chandeliers of the Severin Ballroom.





Originally from Cleveland, OH, Ben and I have made a home in Indianapolis. It is only fitting that we are married in the hotel I call home. The first time I saw this majestic space my heart skipped a beat and we want all of my friends and family to relish the space that I love so much.





So needless to say I am a wedding planner, therefore a perfectionist. Where is that fine line drawn between extremely detailed to demanding? My staff jokes that I will be a bridezilla. Me a bridezilla, I know this process oh to well to be a nervous wreck!









I joke with them that on the day of I will be wired on the radio with them demanding items. "Bride to set up, Bride to set up, we need a another chair at table 11." "Bride to captain, can you bring me another glass of champagne" We all laugh about this because they know as well as I do that I would get it myself before asking anyone else to do it.



The staff here is so wonderful that I know they will make my day perfect. They know exactly how I like things to run at the weddings I plan here and will do the same for me. In my opinion I am the luckiest girl to have best of both worlds!



This last statement leads me to my next question. Will I be able to be just the bride on my special day or will the need to be the planner as well turn me into a BRIDEZILLA!

Hentschel- Bouggy

Hentschel- Bouggy Wedding

5/21/11


Omni Severin Hotel

The true essence of "spring has spring" was fashioned on May 21, 2011 by the Hentschel- Bouggy Wedding. A grandiose display of talented wedding professionals work to revel in the vast love of Susan and Brian Bouggy. A marvelous day for two very special people whose hearts are filled with benevolence and love for all.


As the clock struck 5pm, the guests began to arrive only to be greeted by the incandescent light of the Severin Ballroom chandeliers. As guests indulged in cocktails and hors d' oeuvres the tone was set for a magnificent evening.




Dinner was held in the Severin Ballroom, where guests relished their meal by the luster of the original 1913 chandelier.











In a quiet moment Susan and I stood in awe of the beautiful cake done by Paige of Sweet Seductions. http://www.sweetseductions.biz/



After a dazzling meal their guests enjoyed watching their first dance as husband and wife in the Severin Ballroom.


At 9pm there was a surprise for all, a special pop corn parade for guests to enjoy from Just Popped In!



An evening their guests will surely never forget!




A special thanks to:

Superbly Severin

My breath was taken away. The first time I walked into the Omni Severin Hotel was a true godly experience, I had found my new treasure. A treasure that I am the keeper of, the keeper of the weddings at The Omni Severin Hotel.

I have now been one of the Wedding Specialists at the Omni Severin Hotel for a mere 8 months. I love this space more and more everyday. As a former off premise event designer and catering sales manager I once treasured many spaces but non as exquisite at this.

Adorned by the 1913 chandelier that fills the Severin Lobby with an unrivaled ambience lies a mystique and luxurious historical wedding venue.
