Hotel Del - Grand Ballroom

Had a great little wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado last night with a couple from Budapest. They split their time in Budapest and LA, so the group of 60 was just the friends and family that lived here in California and the ones from abroad that could make the trip.
The ceremony was out on the Vista Walk with a string quartet who moved inside the Ballroom for the cocktail reception. I Emcee'd as the night got started with the Grand Entrance straight into the first dance Whitney Houston "I believe in you & me" the guests were invited to join half way through the song and 1 more dance song before dinner to get their blood pumping.

A nice little Jazz Trio played during dinner with me filling in during their breaks with the formal toast and some background music. It was a fun little party and you really can't beat the awe inspiring Grand Ballroom at the Del. There really isn't anything like it when its fully lit and decorated. The Wedding Coordinator was Victoria Schroeder of Coronado Weddings, truly one of the best around. Paul Barnett was the photographer and is well known for his amazing work I can't wait to see the pictures. Here are a couple advance shots...
