A Unique Ceremony Set-up in the Hawthorne Hotel Ballroom

This past weekend a couple had their wedding in our ballroom. That is hardly newsworthy. However, what is interesting and unique was the set-up which they requested for how the chairs were arranged in the room.

This set-up gave everyone a much better view of the ceremony, and would certainly make the couple feel surrounded by the love and friendship of their guests.

We are thinking about what to call this set-up. I think "Surrounded by Love" would be an appropriate name for it, but I would love to hear what you think, fair blog reader?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. If we get enough entries to make this seems like a contest, perhaps we will even award a nice prize to the winner!

Beautiful details for a beautiful wedding

This is Marilyn Croteau, a cake maker and friend of the bride who was married here on Saturday night.

The flowers dripped sparkly chains, like chandeliers, and the chandelier theme was used throughout.

The chandelier theme was used on the table number cards and the placecards as well.

A kind of stylized tussy-mussy was used to reserve places mark the rows of seating, and made by a member of her family. Just beautiful.

Can you tell that this bride works as a caterer in another venue? She had every detail planned to the max, but she really wanted her wedding at the Hawthorne Hotel (and we know where she works, and it is a VERY nice place as well!)

It doesn't get much better than that, when a competitor chooses to get married in our hotel. Definitely made us smile!

A Wedding of Historic Proportions

Alice "Nanna" Welenc and Elizabeth Welenc with Alice's wedding photo on the table to the right of Elizabeth. (You can see a larger version of it below.)



This was Alice's wedding bill for her wedding here at the Hawthorne Hotel. A wedding in 1948 certainly cost many fewer dollars than it does today. According to an inflation calculator, $330 in 1948 is worth about $3,000 today. Unfortunately, it seems that the rate of inflation for weddings has been much greater than inflation.

Mother-of-the bride, Claire Welenc, had her wedding here as well, as you can see in the photo above. The tablecloth on the table in these photos was made from her wedding dress.
