Seating will be at round tables that accommodate 10 guests, unless otherwise indicated. Gift tables, guest book tables, cake tables and head tables are all available. Diagrams with numbered tables will be available, if there is to be assigned seating at your function. Please have the completed diagram to the Catering Office three business days prior to your wedding. Please note on the diagram the number of each entrée required for each table; in addition, please include a list of each table with the guests’ names and choices of entrée.

Fresh Floral Centerpieces and décor may be ordered through the hotel. All decorations incorporating candles must meet with the approval of the Fort Lauderdale Fire Department. The hotel must give approval before anything is affixed or attached to the walls, ceilings or floors.

Create an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication and know that the entertainment professionals you contract are just as committed to excellence and service as we are.

Your Event Specialist will be happy to assist you with the room accommodations for your out-of-town guests. We can put together a special package for your guests and include the sleeping rooms, the rehearsal dinner, and a brunch the day after the wedding. Turn your special day into a special weekend. .

We need your assistance to make you wedding day spectacular. For billing purposes, the number of guests must be specified three business days in advance of your wedding. This will be your minimum guarantee and is not subject to reduction. We will set the room to the exact guarantee and diagram. If you need to increase the guarantee, contact the catering office. Anything over a 5% increase will have to be confirmed with the Chef and the Banquet Manager.
