I'm have some news...

I have officially joined the wedding planning club! Well I guess you could say that I already in the club since I help and plan with the brides here at the hotel... but I got engaged last week!! And now it is a totally different ballgame!

Now I get to experience it with all of you! I'm so excited!!

Jennifer and Trevor* June 26, 2010

Jennifer and Trevor got married on June 26th. I am still a tad behind on these but I am getting there! :)

Jennifer and Trevor were a pleasure to work with. I worked with Jennifer Mother, Pauline, alot. Who is the sweetest women ever! They always knew exactly what they wanted, I just helped guide them along the way.

Their number of guests came in a bit lower then planned, so we made a last minute decision to change the room around a bit. We did the normal set up, with the dance floor in the middle, but we only used 3/4ths of the ballroom. It worked out perfectly.













They added a dessert station for a late night snack towards the end of the evening. Which was a huge hit!

Where can we take pictures at the hotel?

One of the most common questions that I get is "Where can we take pictures at the hotel?". My usual answer goes on to explain that we provide a bridal party room that you can take pictures in, but you are more than welcome to take pictures anywhere in the hotel. I usually give examples like the lobby, the pool deck, or even in a sleeping room the windows have amazing views behind them. There are tons of places to take pictures outside in the area too. There are the Public Gardens, the Christian Science Center, or the green space in the middle of the Prudential Center. Even fun creative pictures outside near some of the amazing buildings in the area is creative.

I always recommend bringing your photographer to the hotel so that they can get an idea of the space and to see what they can come up with creatively.
Devon John Photography did just that!

Kristen and Shaun got married in May, which I posted pictures of, but I HAD to share some of their professional pictures that I stole of Kristen's facebook page. :)

The pictures are amazing and creative and I am completely blown away- so I had to share them.

Nikki and Tom* June 5, 2010

Nikki and Tom were before Frank and Lina so this is a week out of whack, but that is ok!

Nikki and Tom incorporated both heritages on their wedding day. They had a Tea Ceremony for the Chinese Tradition and then had a Hindu ceremony. They had their ceremony in the Ballroom, cocktail reception was in the Pre-Assembly/Prefunction area, and then their guests went back into the ballroom for dinner and dancing. It was a quick room turn for us, but it happened perfectly even with some time to spare.














Frank and Lina* June 12, 2010

I know I know, I am a little behind on my blog. It has been a crazy summer that is for sure. One more wedding this weekend- Rowena and Chris- then I have a break for 6 weeks.

Below are pictures from Frank and Lina's wedding. Cutest Couple! She's from Columbia so she incorporated that by icluding coffee beans in their centerpieces- how appropriate!


My favorite part was having rose petals to put on the tables, as well as adding them to the escort card table. It just added a little something extra. Especially when I dropped them AFTER I placed the cards on the table and kept them wherever they fell.















Her favors were perfect for her coffee theme!

Frank's Mother has passed away, so a nice way to incorporate her in the day was a frame picture of him and her when he was younger. It looks very nice with the votives, the rose petals and the Bouquet bought just for her. And the fact that we put it on the piano (which was my idea) was the best part. It was the perfect place to honor his mother.
