Ever wandered into the Melrose Market from the backside, near the sorely underrated Still Liquor and noticed a void where a wedding venue ought to be?

Michel Girard, with the help of in-house event planner Stacy Kvam, remedied that.

Melrose Market Studios is up and running; they held their first wedding industry event late last week.

In attendance were the caterers that MMS has sanctioned; couples who book their event there will choose between some of the top teams in town. (See slideshow for more.)

The behind-the-scenes prep area is a jewel in the joint’s crown; while it’s not something couples or guests would even be aware of, the nicely equipped set-up area makes life easier for food crews, which makes presentation and flavor all the better, too.

Check out the slideshow here for more on the venue, and its preferred providers.
