Summer Weddings: Why We Love Them!

July 6, 2016 by icehouse Leave a Comment

Picking a date for your wedding is a big decision. You may be trying to land a specific day, one with special significance to you and your partner, but often times it comes down to what the venue has available. Many couples shy away from summer dates thinking either spring or fall has better Louisville weather, availability, etc. However, there are so many upsides to choosing summer for your big day and here’s why we at the Ice House and Crushed Ice Catering love summer weddings!

WEATHER: Yes, you take the risk of it being a bit hot, but chances are that the day will be warm and beautifully sunny. By choosing summer, you’ve just opened the door to a whole other group of venues that offer outdoor spaces. The options to do an outdoor cocktail hour, rooftop ceremony, or even a garden-party type reception are available. Not to mention the photos ops that are presented for an outdoor space. Which brings us to our next point…

Guests enjoy cocktail hour on a beautiful July evening at the rooftop garden.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Just think about the fun that your photographer could have being outside! Not only is the natural lighting a huge benefit, but day-of photo op locations are now endless. You don’t need to worry about taking off and putting on jackets, rosy cheeks, or goosebumps, but you can take advantage of the natural greenery, flowers and sunshine through the clouds. You’ll really appreciate the photos after it’s all said and done.

Photos at sunset create the perfect romantic lighting.

COLOR/DRESS: Fall and winter weddings limit themselves to a darker color palette. Although this could lead to a more “romantic” or upscale wedding, your options for bridesmaid dresses are limited. The decision of long versus short dresses may be made for you. Summer offers a huge selection of color options from linens, dresses, suits & ties, and flowers. Plus, flowers are in abundance and your florist will be excited to put together bouquets or centerpieces full of color to stand out and make an impact.

GUESTS: Most people usually save their vacation days for summer and have an easier time traveling during this time. If you’re expecting more guests to be available, generally summer is a better option.

COCKTAILS & FOOD: When it comes to picking out your food and bar menu, you really can’t go wrong in the summer. Foods and ingredients are their freshest and generally make everything tastier.  Caterers like Crushed Ice Catering and our Chef Lawrence Agnew take advantage of the freshest locally grown foods for a top notch meal. To top it all off, pick a signature cocktail that reflects the personality of you and your significant other. Your guests will surely appreciate a refreshing beverage unique to you!

Adding a signature Cocktail or champagne toast is a great and refreshing way to add a little something to your summer menu.

HONEYMOON: Now lets not forget about the honeymoon! Having a summer wedding gives you a good chance to schedule your honeymoon directly after the event. More destinations are available during the summer months and traveling back and forth is easier. However, since the weather is good locally, you don’t have to travel to a tropical location. You can have your honeymoon is a big city or out in the country based on your preference.

Bride and Groom leave for their honeymoon in style.

The Ice House could be the perfect summer wedding venue. From the rooftop garden to the terrace directly off of the main hall, we aren’t short on beautiful outdoor spaces. Our exclusive caterer, Crushed Ice Catering, provides the highest quality fresh food, and summer guarantees the best ingredients for you and your guests. On top of the awesome space and food available, during the month of July we offer a 20% discount for the venue pricing which means more flowers and fun for you! See, summer isn’t so bad after all!

 

Cheers!

Madeleine

Cocktail Hour

November 17, 2015 by icehouse Leave a Comment

By: Natalie Dedas, Sales & Events Coordinator 

If you’re in the initial stages of wedding planning and you’re trying to decide whether you should have a cocktail hour or not, the answer is simple… absolutely! Cocktail hour allows your guests to mingle, enjoy entertainment and some awesome mixed drinks. The prelude to your reception should incorporate three aspects for a successful pre-party:

  1. Hors d’ oeuvres. After your ceremony guests tend to get a little hungry. This is the perfect opportunity to offer them something light to nibble on prior to dinner. The best part about a wedding are the passed or stationed  hors d’ oeuvres! Three is the magic number. This amount can offer your guests a mixed variety without going overboard on the options. It’s always nice to offer a cold, hot and vegetarian option if you really want to please your crowd. Cocktail hour is not just about your guests, it’s about you too! Chances are you haven’t eaten all day and neither has the bridal party, which is why here at The Ice House our in-house caterer Crushed Ice Catering always saves a few platters of each option for your group. We know after your ceremony the first thing you want is a small bite and a cold beer to get the party started!
  2. Mixed Drinks. The bar, quite possibly the most important aspect of your wedding. This is your chance to personalize the details of your wedding. Add a few signature cocktails to help mix things up a bit. Give the cocktails funny names or title them something cute that means a lot to you and your hubby! They could be your favorite cocktails or a seasonal beer you like, the best part, the bar can make these ready to order at a fun beverage station as well. If the drinks are flowing, the night will kick off without a hitch! What if majority of your guests do not drink? No problem at at all! Remember those beverage stations? Crushed Ice Catering can even provide flavored teas, lemonade or infused waters.
  3. Getting Social. Cocktail hour is the first opportunity your guests have to socialize. Setting the scene is important. Here at The Ice House, our Main Hall Package includes an outside East Terrace that is perfect for mingling and even includes an outside bar. With seasonal flowers and market lights, the scene can be topped off with lounge furniture and cocktail tables to provide the perfect atmosphere for your guests. Presentation is everything, after all. While your guests get to know each other, set the scene even more with the proper entertainment. Whether it is the perfect playlist, an acoustic guitar or live band, every cocktail hour must be accompanied by musical entertainment.

Once you have set the scene and spoiled your guest with delicious hors d’ oeuvres & drinks, your on your way to wedding reception success!

Willis- Konczal Rooftop Wedding

September 10, 2015 by icehouse Leave a Comment

We topped off our Labor Day weekend with the Willis- Konczal Rooftop Wedding!

Labor Day weekend is ideal for a wedding! The Rooftop Garden on the third level of The Ice House, which overlooks downtown Louisville and Slugger Field, served as the ceremony site for Allie & Josh. The bride and groom were glowing! Both shared their personally written vows, which touched everyone in the crowd who came to celebrate this wonderful couple.

Their photo wall was a huge hit with their crowd, many of which went to college at Ohio University with the bride & groom. The photo wall served as the perfect place to take a fun photo with friends and family outside on our East Terrace where cocktails were hosted following the ceremony.

We loved her handmade horseshoe favors which also served as her place cards. Cupcakes served as a great substitute for her wedding cake which were provided by Gigi’s Cupcakes.

What a beautiful day!

Ogden- Lammi Ceremony and Reception

September 9, 2015 by icehouse Leave a Comment

The Ogden- Lammi Ceremony and Reception was a beautiful wedding to kick off Labor Day weekend at The Ice House!

With a lower guest count, the Main Hall Package accommodated both ceremony and reception. Their ceremony took place on our second level Mezzanine balcony, which allowed guests to move easily into the reception downstairs in the Main Hall.

After their ceremony on the second level Mezzanine balcony, guests moved outside to the East Terrace for cocktails and passed appetizers. The passed appetizers included some of our company’s favorite selections-  Bacon Wrapped Peppadew Peppers and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Balls.

Their wedding dinner was provided by our exclusive in-house caterer Crushed Ice Catering, which consisted of fully customized stations & bars. This menu offered a lot of variety to guests, who enjoyed a little Latin flair with the Latin station and a touch of Louisville favorites with The Bluegrass Station.

Their wedding cake, provided by Plehn’s Bakery, had a simplistic beauty with the most perfectly arranged floral cascade to match the bride’s decor.

With additional amenities added such as our in-house up lighting package and specialty monogrammed GOBO customized by The Ice House, the venue lit up with bright accents to enhance the feel of the evening.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Hynes- Barnett Wedding Reception

May 13, 2015 by icehouse Leave a Comment

Mr. & Mrs. Barnett celebrated their wedding reception at The Ice House this past Saturday, it was quite the celebration!

This gorgeous wedding reception began with a cocktail hour on the East Terrace. After drinks, guests enjoyed a lovely plated dinner in the Main Hall Package provided by our in-house caterer Crushed Ice Events. Their dinner featured a crisp Caesar Salad with Fresh Cut Romaine, Garlic Croutons, Microplaned Parmesan & Grape Tomatoes. The main course was a Tea Brined Roasted Chicken Breast with Roasted Mushrooms, Potato Gnocchi, Arugula Pesto & Parmesan.

Paint Your Event, by Heidi Schwartz, was a surprise gift from the Father & Mother of the Bride to the newlyweds. Heidi travels to your event and begins working on a painting of the event as it goes on throughout the evening. Her final product blew us away!

Cheers to the Bride & Groom!

Blue & Company: Rooftop Event

April 29, 2015 by icehouse Leave a Comment

Blue & Company kicked off Thunder in style with a Rooftop Event perfect for viewing the airshow and fireworks. This all-day event was held in the Main Hall Package which includes the Main Hall, Mezzanine balcony and East Terrace and the gorgeous Rooftop Garden.

Crushed Ice Events provided a crowd pleasing picnic style buffet, which included hamburgers with all of the toppings, hot dogs, corn on the cob, and pasta salad. A buffet was set-up inside the Main Hall and outside on the Rooftop Garden. With a crowd of 350 guests, seating was available inside for guests to get out of the heat and enjoy a bite to eat! Crushed Ice Events also provided a bar on the Rooftop Garden as well as the East Terrace. The outside bars are the most popular place to be on a gorgeous Spring day!

Guest lined up their folding chairs theater style facing the Ohio River to enjoy the airshow. This provided an ideal view of the planes as they circled downtown Louisville and the parachutes as they landed on the nearby Great Lawn. For the fireworks- guests lined up on the side of our sizable Rooftop Garden to view the show.

Our Rooftop Garden can accommodate up to 350-400 guests standing room including a buffet and bar option. Our Rooftop also has full A/V capabilities as well as a stage area for an entertainment.

Pauley- McKee Brunch Wedding

October 2, 2014 by icehouse Leave a Comment

The Pauley- McKee Brunch Wedding began with a beautiful early morning ceremony on our East Terrance. With a guest count of around 80 this was the perfect space for a smaller ceremony with close family and friends.

The reception moved into the Main Hall for a breakfast of champions. Crushed Ice Events prepared a substantial breakfast buffet with every kind of breakfast favorite you can think of. The waffle bar was filled with toppings such as chocolate chips, fresh fruit, homemade whipped cream, and of course maple syrup.

The bride-and-groom had a set of coffee cups placed at their seats that said “Mr. and Mrs.” The decor matched their brunch wedding perfectly with delicately lit centerpieces accompanied by coffee beans sprinkled on a glass mirror.

Brunch is the only way to do a wedding!
