benefits of a ballroom reception
So, we all know that Southern California is basically a playground for outdoor events, but hear me out: indoor ballroom receptions are the unsung heroes of the event world! Don’t believe me? Well, let me give you the tea on why you should totally consider having your reception at one of our awesome Oceanside hotels or ballroom properties
Inclusive packages
When it comes to your special day, hotels are basically like your fairy godmother, designing wedding packages that will make your dreams come true. These packages usually come with all the fixings, from mouth-watering appetizers to sweet desserts, so you can sit back and relax. Of course, if you have some specific ideas in mind, you can always chat with your Catering Manager to see what they can do to make your day even more magical. Plus, no need to stress about renting tables and chairs, most hotels have got you covered! And if you want to upgrade anything, just ask your manager and they’ll wave their magic wand (okay, maybe it’s just their contacts) and make it happen!
getting ready
When it’s time to get glam for the big day, why not do it in style at the hotel? Book the biggest, baddest suite available, or even better, grab some adjoining rooms so you can all spread out and have your own primping stations. And the best part? You don’t even have to leave the room for your wedding stylists and make-up artists to work their magic! Just sit back, relax, and let the glam squad come to you.
covenience
We all know how much of a buzzkill transportation can be, especially when you’re in unfamiliar territory. So, why not give your out-of-town guests the VIP treatment and have them stay at the wedding venue? Not only can they cut loose and have a blast without worrying about driving, but it also amps up the party atmosphere! After all, who doesn’t want to keep the good times rolling without having to worry about transportation? So, let’s get this party started!
activities
Our Oceanside hotels are not only super close to a bunch of great restaurants and bars, but they also make it easy to keep the fun alive long after the bouquet has been thrown! But, let’s not forget about the morning after. Why not keep the celebration going with a bridal brunch or breakfast? Invite your overnight wedding guests to join you for some delicious grub and a final toast with a mimosa (or two) before you peace out. It’s the perfect way to cap off an amazing wedding weekend!
weather
Dealing with unknown elements can be a big headache when planning a wedding. If you’re going to be outdoors, you must have a Plan B and sometimes a C and a D. With an indoor venue, that’s one less thing to worry about. Sure you’ll still want sunny skies and mild temps, but even if El Nino comes knocking, an indoor ballroom will give you shelter to the point of not knowing or caring what is happening outside. That’s simply not something a tent that’s been arranged last minute can provide you.
flexible spaces
Most hotels also have offerings as flexible as your dance moves! They’ve got everything from breezy outdoor courtyards to chic rooftop pool decks where your guests can roam and mingle. And let’s be real, weddings are a time for catching up with family and friends you haven’t seen in ages. So, it’s nice to have a quiet corner outside of the party where you can actually hear each other without shouting over the music. Plus, who doesn’t love a change of scenery during the reception?
