COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS – APRIL 2009: The newly-opened Piazza in the Village, located near Dallas, was designed from the ground up to be the ideal venue for upscale weddings. Situated in the quaint town square of Colleyville, Texas, the 20,000 square-foot facility features a traditional 250-seat wedding chapel, a spacious reception area with wet bar, an ornate courtyard, and lavishly-appointed groom and bridal suites. Although its technically-sophisticated audio and video systems are kept tastefully out of sight, the lucky couples who wed at Piazza in the Village are treated to distinctively twenty-first century amenities, not limited to audio distribution of the ceremony through wedding webcasts for guests who can’t attend. SymNet open-architecture DSP solutions provide the audio backbone for the state-of-the-art system, and SymNet ARC wall panels provide the elegant user-interface that makes it appear simple. more
