A Happy February Bride


"I must say, you guys have a beautiful hotel... getting married here was the perfect place.. i would recommend you to everyone! we got a 2 bedroom condo and it was stunning!"
-- A Ben Lomond February Bride.

I LOVE it when Brides are happy! It makes all the work COMPLETELY worth it.

Often brides are so stressed out on their wedding day, they cannot even enjoy the celebration.

Ben Lomond Brides know that PLANNING leads to partying on their wedding day!

When you meet with your event coordinator, set clear expectations as to how you want your day to run.

Did you give the coordinator a time line?

Do you need a rehearsal?

Who is running the show on the day of the event?

CLEARLY explain to the event coordinator what you expect from him or her and I can promise you THEY WILL DELIVER. In this business, we want you to be as happy as possible. Giving event coordinators clear directions and expectations leads to a party YOU will enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lets keep in touch.

Any bride can plan a wedding reception where she is the star; but a Ben Lomond Bride plans her reception as a party for her guests. A Ben Lomond Bride can hold the spot light and throw a rockin party all at once.

Will your guests have fun at the reception or just stand in line for a buffet?

Will guests strike up conversation and meet new people, or give you a hug and leave?

Here is CHEAP, yet elegant, way to add a little something to your guest experience--

We used large pieces of paper as centerpieces for reception tables. Guests could draw pictures, leave messages for the couple, or play tick-tack-toe with new friends at the table. The table decor served as a great ice-breaker, promoting conversation and a casual, laid back tone for the reception.

BEST PART-- you couldn't tell it was paper until you touched it! The paper looked like linnen even close up.

Who would have thought right?

Paper table coverings.

Elegant. Easy. Economical.

Thanks for stoping by today!
