Perfect Wedding Guide hosted a party for over 225 wedding professionals on August 28th at Bliss Ultra Lounge. Bliss is a chic club located on the newly renovated Church Street in Downtown Orlando. When you first walk through the red velvet ropes to enter the club, there are two huge bars in the middle of the room and long white banquette booths on each of the outside walls. Installed in the back wall of each booth are small flat screen televisions that have fashion shows playing throughout the night. As you walk to the back of the room, the space opens up to a dance floor, an elevated catwalk and stage, as well as the DJ booth. The combination of the rhythmic music and the dancing lights are hypnotic. I found myself just standing and staring most of the night! On each side of the dance floor are stairs leading to the second floor. Up top, there is yet another bar and an open balcony with private seating so you can relax and take in all the dance moves happening below. The space is really incredible and would be great for a private event or just a night out on the town with friends.
The vendors that donated their time and services were so appreciated. Arthur's catering supplied the food on the lower floor of the lounge. They had two very unique and creative cuisine ideas. The first was a salad station. Sounds simple enough. Except these salads were served out of martini shakers and "poured" into individual martini glasses. They were delicious and they looked incredibly posh! The other cool food idea was the dessert station. They made s'mores in front of you, but with a twist. They skewered marshmallows, toasted them with a torch light (kind of like the ones you use for the sugar crust on a creme brulee), and then rolled them in crushed up graham crackers and chocolate. It is kind of hard to explain, so I've also included the picture above so you can see what I mean. I loved the s'mores idea!
On the top floor of Bliss, Michael Anthony Cakes had a beautiful miniature cake display. They made multiple types of little individual cakes. They looked like works of art. Seriously, some even had edible gold leaf artfully arranged on the tops of the cakes.
Throughout the night, two white-gloved servers would walk throughout the lounge holding a huge piece of lighted clear acrylic that was covered in appetizers, such as shrimp cocktail, miniature lamb chops, shot glasses of soups, and other mouth watering munchies. It was a huge production and a lot of fun to be a part of!
Besides the food, music and dancing, being able to talk to all of our wedding friends outside of work was a blast. I always say, in the wedding industry we work with some of the most incredible people, and this event hosted by PWG just solidified that statement. It was definitely a night filled with fun and laughter and I was privileged to be a part of it.
