Downtown Fresno has so much to offer. Art, Music, Architecture, History and great wedding venues! On the corner of Fulton and Tuolumne sits a beautiful building, great for weddings, both large and small. On Saturday, September 18th, Melinda Coffman and Ed McAllister welcomed 100 guests to their ceremony and reception on the 10th floor of The Grand.
The Grand 1401 is a beautiful new venue in Downtown Fresno. Formally known as The International Trade Center, the Grand 1401 has two areas for weddings. The 10th Floor is a great location of your smaller wedding, able to accommodate about 200 guests along with a small ceremony area. The 10th Floor is full of character and charm! The bottom floor also has a ceremony area and can accommodate about 350 guests for dinner and dancing. Another plus for this venue is that you can bring in your own caterer! Check out their website for more information www.thegrand1401.com Give Crystal a call to set up a private tour.
Ed and Melinda chose Grand Occasions to cater their special event and we were so happy with their service and attention to detail. Tara Ribera at Grand Occasions made sure that every request was handled. Melinda and Ed chose to served their guests a Grilled Hearts of Romaine Salad with a New York Steak with Marchand D’Raisin Sauce (the bride works for the Raisin Board) served with Scalloped potatoes Au Gratin and Grilled Asparagus. After dinner, instead of a traditional wedding cake, Melinda chose a chocolate raisin walnut pie from Eddie’s Bakery as the dessert for her guests!
To help create the perfect setting for their wedding, Ed and Melinda chose to bring Simply Flowers and The Linen Shoppe on board to help us incorporate her dark royal blue color into the 10th floor decor. The Linen Shoppe provided their beautiful mahogany chivari chairs with a dark royal blue sash and ivory pads. Awesome! Mariah and her staff from Simply Flowers help create beautiful centerpieces to help Melinda tie in her love of simplicity and the perfect shades of blue on each table.
To help capture all the special moments of their wedding day, Ed and Melinda chose Ryan Watamura to photograph their ceremony and reception. Ryan is a wonderful photographer with a very unique eye and it was great to work with him. He was able to get some great urban shots of the couple in Downtown. Made Fulton Street look very cool!
