Stunning Banquet-Style Wedding – Incredible Room Flip! | Stacy & Jeffery

This banquet-style wedding was truly one for the books—an unforgettable celebration with one of the most breathtaking banquet-style room flips we’ve ever seen! Held at the Sheraton San Gabriel Hotel in Los Angeles, Stacy and Jeffery’s big day was filled with thoughtful details, elegant design, and plenty of magical moments that reflected their unique love story.

As a SoCal wedding planner, it’s always exciting to work with couples who bring creativity and intention to every part of their day. From the rooftop ceremony to the epic reception transformation, this wedding had it all.

A Picture-Perfect Rooftop Ceremony Before the Banquet Wedding Reception

On a warm August Saturday, guests arrived at the venue and were guided to the rooftop courtyard for a sun-drenched ceremony. Before entering the ceremony space, guests were welcomed with a champagne tower and personalized heart-shaped tags engraved with the couple’s initials and wedding date—a sweet and stylish touch!

The rooftop was completely transformed with white draping and tenting by our incredible production team, creating a dreamy, ethereal space. Blush and white florals from The Flower Boutique lined the aisle, and gold and white Chiavari chairs added an elegant touch. Each seat had a custom-printed fan that doubled as the event itinerary—both beautiful and practical for a hot summer day.

Banquet Wedding Room Flip: From Ceremony to Dream Reception

While guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the banquet hall foyer, the Lotus Events Pros team worked their magic to flip the ceremony space into a jaw-dropping banquet wedding reception. As a seasoned wedding planner, I can confidently say this was one of the most dramatic and seamless room transformations I’ve seen.

What started as a neutral-toned banquet hall was turned into an all-white wonderland. White carpeting covered the original flooring, a sleek white dance floor with a custom logo was installed, and floor-to-ceiling white drapery completely redefined the room’s ambiance. The venue’s stunning crystal chandeliers sparkled even brighter against the monochromatic backdrop, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.

Each table was styled for a family-style dinner with a rotating lazy Susan in the center, and every guest received a custom cookie featuring the couple’s initials as a sweet favor. An adorable boba bar by Mmcreamery offered his-and-hers drinks, light-up cotton candy, and push-pop ice cream—an absolute hit with the kids (and adults!).

A Night to Remember

After a grand entrance and their first dance—enhanced with cold sparklers—the couple and guests enjoyed a decadent 10-course Chinese banquet dinner, catered by the venue. Guests even went home with to-go boxes of leftovers!

Following dinner, Stacy and Jeffery made their rounds to each table for personal toasts and photos. Their cake cutting was elevated with dry ice fog, creating a magical atmosphere on the main stage. After the bouquet toss and a fun group photo on the dance floor, the party kicked off and guests danced the night away.

As a SoCal wedding planner, moments like these remind me why I love what I do. From emotional vows to epic dance floors, this banquet wedding was a true celebration of love and joy.

Love & Life,
