The weekend Cora and I had for our wedding at Sky on Nine can only be boiled down to one word: magical.
Lesley and the team at Sky on Nine did everything needed to make this day ...(and the ones before and after) an experience my brain can’t help but go back through constantly. We felt the service provided with this venue was the complete package.
Lesley/Venue:
Working with Lesley was so seamless. We started working with her soon before the venue opened up, and we were given multiple tours as the venue was being fully put together. The vision was there the first time we took our first steps on the venue floor, and it blew our expectations out of the water by the time the venue was fully complete for events. The 270 degree view of the airport and surrounding area gave the venue a feeling of life and possibilities as well as access to the bridal suite and rooms for close family on the 9th floor was really convenient. It was so spacious, 250+ people could easily enjoy an event here (we had around 180). We had the ceremony on the 9th, cocktail hour on the first for the reception to be set up, and then the rest of the night was on the 9th. The sunset was gorgeous and the chandeliers really stood out to us. We really wanted the “elegant minimalistic” look, and we found it in spades. Lesley worked with our other vendors (DJ, Binny’s, we did DIY flowers) and had no hiccups during the course of the weekend. She was responsive, lovely to get to know, and was the point person for the entire year we spent planning the event.
Catering:
The food was a-ma-zing. The variety of apps to choose from was awesome (our fave were the tomato soup/grilled cheese mini shooters and scallops), vegetarian/vegan options (carrot quinoa cake was outstanding) and amazing chicken and steak options. The food came out on our wedding day the same it did for our tasting. The bar tenders and servers did a wonderful job and seemed to be on the same page from start to finish. We added some Lou’s pizza and dessert treat for later in the night, and it was a great touch, would recommend!
Hotel:
We enjoyed the stay at the hotel for Friday and Saturday night. As I said before, the 9th floor had the venue and a stretch of hallway of hotel rooms. Anyone could go to the venue on the 9th floor but required a key card to get into the area with the hotel rooms which was nice and secure. We did have a little AC issues at the bridal suite when we first got there, but with it being a 2 floor essentially an apartment (with kitchen, fridge, walk in closet, 2 bathrooms, couches, TV, we hosted the whole bridal party in our room multiple times pretty easily), just make sure to change the AC on both floors! It was also all windows facing west so it was a little hard to keep as cool without drawing the shades. The staff was very responsive when I asked and after the AC was checked it improved from then on. We also had the ballroom where the cocktail hour was hosted available prior to the weekend to store flowers and other items during the weekend which was nice.
Overall, I simply can’t wait to show our kids the immaculate day I had at this place, and we thank everyone involved. We felt the pricing was competitive to the dozen other places we toured and hope this event blesses you as much as it did us.
