This past week we held our quarterly wedding tasting in our Grand Ballroom. Here are a lot of photos of the different tables that we set so that our guests could see how varying colors, styles and other aspects can look in our beautiful space.

| This table features a number of "upgrades" such as beautiful linens, chargers, and upgraded flowers, as well as specialty chairs. It really makes this into a fairy-tale wedding setting. |
Isn't this pink overlay tablecloth just gorgeous?
Emerald is a "hot color" for the upcoming wedding season according to our sources.
 |
| Beautiful upgraded centerpiece |
 |
| These specialty plates really add a "glam" look to the tables. |
This tablecloth overlay is a gorgeous shade of soft green that is stunning in our Ballroom
 |
| I love this unique style of centerpiece, with three differing blooms arranged in bunches in three different vases. This is an upgraded centerpiece. |
 |
| Even the "standard" tables are beautiful. This centerpiece is one that is available in the package that includes flowers. |

| Everything on the table is "standard" with the one upgrade of the tuxedo striped overlays. Stunning! |
If you are looking for a way to save money, this oil candle centerpiece is available to our wedding clients who choose a package without flowers. The client only needs to provide the rose petals, which are very inexpensive compared to a floral centerpiece.
 |
| This is a "package" centerpiece. |
 |
| Our standard chairs, table linen and flowers look lovely. |
 |
| Stationed hors d'oeuvres -- Crudites with hummus. Cheese Display. |

Each quarter we host a "tasting" for the next quarter's wedding couples. We start with a reception featuring stationed and passed hors d'oeuvres, and then proceed to a huge dinner where our couples can taste six or seven different entrees along with a variety of appropriate accompaniments. The dinner starts with alternating portions of two served appetizers, goes to a couple of different salads, and then on to the entree selections. We finish up with two dessert items to taste, and conclude with a tasting of about five or six of Montilio's wedding cakes.
I hope you enjoy seeing how we do things for our wedding clients here at the Hawthorne Hotel, and of course, I hope to see you here. Bring your appetite.
