When choosing a centerpiece be mindful of it’s height; tall or short? The height of your centerpiece will dictate as to whether your seated guests will have the option to converse at the table.

I would recommend anything over 30 inches when going for height. This height allows guests to look across the table and around the room. For shorter centerpieces, anything under 12 inches would be adequate.When choosing a centerp...

The Pavillion helped organize, decorate, design, give ideas for planning and decorating and vendor n...

Hey everyone,Me and my fiance' decided to get married at Baker Park so we filled out an online application. We are getting married on July 13, 2013 and I was wondering if anyone else had their wedding ceremony there and how long it took to get approved? The thing is we cannot move forward with the invitations until we have the park confirmed. We are just getting a little worried. I called the park and they said it doesn't look like anyone else is a head of me for that date. Problem is, we need to make invitations soon but no venue, no invitation. What should I do?Thanks all.
