Meredith & Jack proved that “something blue” is the perfect hue for a classic summer celebration. Every detail reflected understated sophistication, bringing a fresh yet timeless charm to the Hall of Mirrors.

Nothing says summer celebration like custom ice cream on a warm wedding day. The couple also paid tribute to their families with a cake inspired by their parents’ wedding cakes and photos displayed from those special days.

GETTING READY in style

Bridal Suite Must-Haves for a Picture-Perfect Wedding Morning Start your wedding day in comfort, confidence, and a space that’s as photo-worthy as your walk down the aisle.

The morning of your wedding sets the tone for the entire celebration — and your gettingready space should reflect that same magic. At the Civic Center Music Hall, our newly refreshed bridal suite is designed with thoughtful details to make your pre-ceremony experience both beautiful and practical.

Whether you're popping champagne with your closest friends or soaking in a few quiet moments before “I do,” here’s what to bring — and how our suite helps you start the day in style.

WHAT TO PACK:

bridal suite essentials OUTFIT DETAILS • Matching robes or pajamas for your bridal party • Your gown, veil, and accessories (don’t forget your shoes!)

• Slippers or comfy footwear while you prep BEAUTY MUST-HAVES • Touch-up kit: lip gloss, setting spray, blotting papers • Hair tools or favorite styling products • A handheld mirror for final looks SNACKS & SIPS • Light bites: fresh fruit, protein bars, finger foods • Beverages: champagne, sparkling water, coffee • Cups, napkins, and straws to avoid lipstick smudges

DON’T FORGET SENTIMENTAL TOUCHES

A pre-wedding playlist Notes or gifts for your bridal party Tissues (because you will cry)

“With the right prep and the perfect suite, your morning becomes a memory all on its own.”

Pro Tip: Featuring • Full kitchenette with refrigerator — perfect for snacks, drinks, or mimosa bar • Private bathroom with lighted vanity mirrors for makeup and touch-ups • Ample natural light for gorgeous photos and candid moments • Spacious layout for your full hair and makeup team

Make the most of your day-of prep by using the built-in shelving in our bridal suite to keep everything organized and stress-free.

It’s a simple way to stay tidy, make space for your glam squad, and ensure everything you need is right where you left it. An organized suite = a smoother start to your big day.

At the Civic Center Music Hall, your celebration begins the moment you arrive. With a beautifully appointed bridal suite and a little thoughtful prep, your "getting ready" moments can be just as unforgettable as the rest of your day.
