Bradenton Riverwalk Big Reveal!

   The city of Bradenton has been putting a lot of time and money into renovating the walk along the Manatee River.  Their efforts were brought to fruition as the Riverwalk was revealed at the ribbon cutting event on Thursday, October 18th.  The ceremony was held at Rossi park and since the Courtyard Marriott is mere steps from the shindig and located right on the Riverwalk, they decided to join in the celebrations themselves and were gracious enough to include Flawless Fetes!
   With the construction going on, its been hard to relay the potential for events taking place at the Marriott; but now that the fences are down and the water and its surroundings are on full display, you really can't find many venues quite as gorgeous! We wanted to display an array of situations that the hotel could play host to and arranged a few tablescapes to showcase them! From a family reunion to an elegant wedding, people got a little taste of the variety of possibilities and AKA Photographs came down to document it for us!
   The event was a success, the Riverwalk got tons of traffic and the Marriott put out some delicious hors d'oeuvres for everyone to sample.  Matt & Dom's brought over some scrumptious mini cupcakes and people oggled over their elaborate display cakes.  Malindy Elene Couture for the Bride showcased a fabulously fun party frock as well as two stunning wedding gowns and Bella Bridesmaids featured a couple of gorgeous bridesmaids dresses! We couldn't be more grateful having such generous and friendly vendors to work with! Make sure to pay them, and of course the Riverwalk, a visit soon!
