On Saturday November 26th, 2011 we had the pleasure of working with Eugene + Mia Cuttitta at their Lockport Wedding reception which took place at DiNolfos Banquets.
The theme for this Lockport Wedding was peacock.   From the table centerpieces to the bridemaid’s dresses; each element carefully planned to fit this unique theme.  The vibrant shades of blue LED lights also dressed the room to fit the theme as well.  This was our first time seeing a peacock wedding and we must say it was quite impressive!  Mia even made it a point to have us play the song “Peacock” by Katy Perry for her bouquet toss!  So fun!
