The Hay-Adams

Hooray, spring has finally arrived and the Cherry Blossoms are blooming! How pretty is The Hay-Adams hotel in this warm weather?! Love it!

 

The Hay-Adams Holiday Decor

Remember when I told you about my fun holiday inspired date night?! Well, I actually kicked off the evening with a cocktail in the cozy Off the Record at The Hay-Adams.  Well, let me tell you – the hotel totally wowed me with its festive spirit and decor! Cheers!

Multiflor at The St. Regis

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend! I enjoyed “date night” this past Friday evening at The St. Regis while sipping a glass of champagne surrounded by the holiday decor!

In that vein, I am delighted to share these photographs of the hotel from Multiflor, of the jaw-dropping photo shoot Nick of Multiflor did this past month! Could these be any more romantic?! My, oh, my, I love.

Hilton McLean

The newly redesigned Hilton Mclean Tysons Corner is made for every type of bride. With several different event spaces available, the Hilton McLean is a great spot for celebrations large and small, formal or relaxed.

For starters, those who are interested in incorporating the outdoors into your celebration, the Atrium at the Hilton McLean is the ideal spot. Surrounded by gardens and home to a breathtaking cascading chandelier, the Atrium is like something out of a fairy tale. Interestingly, the garden is also used to grow peppers and various herbs that are used in the farm-to table restaurant at the hotel. Talk about fresh ingredients!

Two other popular spots at the Hilton McLean include the International Ballroom and the Continental Ballroom. The International Ballroom can accommodate a variety of different sized weddings- from 100 to 750 guests, and has an air of sophistication and glamour, while the Continental Ballroom has a more relaxed vibe.

In addition to the great spaces, let’s not forget the food and drink bars that are a hotel specialty. Everything from a mini-taco bar to a churros and chocolate bar has taken place here!  If you’re looking for a space that is easy to transform, and a history of fun touches, the Hilton McLean is the ideal spot.

 

The Willard

With a fantastic location just one block from the White House, the Willard InterContinental Washington is an elegant and sophisticated spot for ceremonies and receptions, as well as rehearsal dinners or brunches. Whether you have a group that is large or small, the Willard can be transformed to match your vision. Steele Haley Stevenson, the Director of Catering and Conference Services at the Willard, describes the exquisite space:

The Willard is a magical place to get married. We often say here that “Washington was built to impress the world, but the Willard was built to inspire romance.” We gracefully orchestrate celebrations of consistent quality, classic elegance, attention to detail and personalized service. These have been the hallmarks of our hotel since 1850.
