Most of my weddings this year at St Regis were at Club 19 which is unusual, it’s normally a mix of all 4 of the ballroom/reception areas they have. So my St Regis couples for 2011 were loving the more intimate ceremony site of the Botanical Garden area and the views/atmosphere of Club 19, yet having the benefit of being part of a 5 star/5 diamond hotel and the amenities/services that go along with that. This area is great for celebrations of 20-130, 8-100 being the perfect size to maximise the use of the area.
However in saying that, one of my couples wanted the intimacy and Italian feel of the Botanical Garden for their ceremony with the lovely backdrop of golf greens and ocean, but wanted the more formal feel of a ballroom, but with only 80 guest didn’t want the portion of Monarch Ballroom they had booked to feel cold/large etc, so above what you see is what amber lighting, and renting some trees can do to create that warm feel for a small group in a large ballroom. Her theme of butterflies also meant the hotels normal banquet chairs which are dark brown with a gold butterfly on the back and the hotels champagne linens were able to be used to help create this warm feel and compliment her theme. Thanks to Scott Roberts for the photo.
Till next time

I wanted to thank you again for all you did. The wedding was beyond my wildest dreams. It was beautiful and exactly as I pictured it.
We are so thankful and appreciative to have had you there on our special day. Words can not express our gratitude. From the very first moment we met you until the last moments of our wedding, you handled yourself with professionalism and respect. You made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.
Thank you for making my wedding perfect. Everything went really well and I was able to really enjoy it. My guests are still complimenting me on how nice everything was. Everyone kept commenting on how calm I was and that is because I had you to take care of everything.
ou pulled together the most beautiful wedding in less than two weeks. People who attended our wedding still comment on it being the prettiest they’ve ever been to.
