Guests arrive at the main entrance of the Casino Ballroom for a photo opportunity before entering. Custom photo walls from Corrie in Color featuring paper planes served as the branded backdrop.

Guests walk the runway as they arrive at the Casino, which was designed to match the striping on the newly completed airport runway--with a surprise at the end.

At the end of the runway, guests discover they are actually walking on the train of a custom dress attached to a friendly greeter who welcomed attendees. Entry entertainment was provided by Champagne Creative Group.
