Here at Eggsotic, we love creating new designs for each event we do at The Bernards Inn. In the past, we've transformed the ballroom into a Central Park inspired setting with custom birch decor.

For our most recent event, Chris and Robert's wedding, we provided elegant lighting and draping for the ceremony and reception. The ceremony and reception both took place in the ballroom, so we provided lighting that adapted to transform the ballroom from one look to another in very little time.

For the ceremony, we used warm amber uplighting and classic warm white chuppah lighting to give the ballroom a high-impact tasteful look. Our lush ivory drape helped define the ceremony area and gave a simple backdrop for the florist's lanterns.

For the reception, we changed the amber lighting to deep blue, and used our pin spots and monogram projection fixtures to transform the tabletops and dance floor. Pin spotting is essential for large centerpieces, as it highlights the gorgeous flowers and gives a subtle glow to each table. The monogram projected on the dance floor was also used in the wedding stationery and table numbers, reinforcing the cohesive custom look of the wedding.

For our first bar mitzvah of 2013, we were asked to create centerpieces based on New York City's cultural landmarks. The mitzvah honoree is very involved in the arts, so we emphasized art culture throughout the decor.

We featured iconic films such as King Kong, famous places such as The High Line and Broadway, and classic events such as Tribeca Film Festival.

Every centerpiece was completely unique in style and composition. The eclectic mix created a sense of an art gallery displayed throughout the 22 tables.
