US Grant Shines with a Glorious Day of Style & Fashion

Downtown San Diego had a definite glow above it this past Sunday afternoon, May 19, as the US Grant, A Luxury Collection Hotel, (www.luxurycollection.com/usgrant) staged its first Wedding and Event Showcase, A Journey of Self and Style.

Several dozen of San Diego’s finest wedding industry experts displayed their respective crafts and talents as 300-400 guests roamed the historic halls and ballrooms of the US Grant. Brides, grooms, parents and area industry guests were treated to eye-popping displays, scrumptious culinary delicacies, wonderful music and the jaw-dropping historic beauty of the US Grant.

Proudly…Weddings of Distinction (www.weddingsdistinction.com) had several members invited to display their talents throughout the various ballrooms.

Beautiful floral and décor ideas were shared in the Palm Court by Lois Mathews Design (www.loismathews.com). Anthony Garcia (www.agarciaguitar.com) strummed his flamenco guitar for the Crystal Ballroom’s ceremony display. Coordinator extraordinaire Ann Strobel (www.annsplans.com) showed off her planning and décor expertise in the Celestial Ballroom. DJs/Emcees Bob and Merrylin Brichmann from Artistic Productions (www.artistic-productions.com) offered a soothing mix of downbeat and contemporary tunes as guests entered the festivities in the Palm Court. Plush Lounge (www.loungefurniturerental.com) provided cozy, colorful, warm and much needed lounge furniture for all to relax & reenergize upon.

Hosted champagne, wine, coffees and various specialty drinks quenched everyone’s thirst on the day. Desserts, cakes and cupcakes kept all on a sugar high. The fashion show entertained with the latest fashions. Highlighting the afternoon were several large prize giveaways including a luxury 5 night stay at The Royal Hawaiian (www.luxurycollection.com/royalhawaiian).

A grand day at the US Grant!
