Well this was a fun one. My lovely bride Jennifer wanted to use the space very differently, and all the forces were in alighnment on her day and it worked out, but could have gone a very different way if someone wasn’t looking out for her from above.
We did the ceremony out on the lawn just beyond the Sunset Terrace patio where we normally do the ceremony. Jenny wore a very regal gown and had the Princess Di bouquet to go with it, so the carpet on the lawn was very appropriate and worked and looked perfect. The guests then were escorted to the balcony for cocktails, and then invited back to the Sunset Terrace area where we had the dining tables setup for the dinner under the stars. After dinner everyone was invited to follow the couple into the Plaza Room which was now renamed the Alma Lounge for the ckae cutting/first dance and party time. We had a black dancefloor, lots of white furniture, purple uplights, a band&dj (Peter Pap of Vive of course!!), and an Eiffel Tower martini luge all in there, creating a fabulous hip/loungy/cool place to hang or dance.
Enjoy these pics captured by the fab Tony Florez (www.tonyflorez.com) as always a joy to work with, and of course our fabulous team at the Ritz that we love so much, Fernanda, Holly, Linda, Al, and the rest of the lovely ladies and gentlemen.
As I mentioned earlier, everything was in alignment for Miss jenny, there was no wind/it was calm calm calm, I was in the same space the next day and it was windy, there was no way we would have been able to do the dinner under the stars!!!
Till next time
Lisa
