As most parents know, the wedding of any daughter is special, eventful and stressful; but this was my first wedding for a daughter! What did we know? Not much.
Fortunately the wedding/reception coordinator at The Oxford Hotel in Denver, Colorado, is experienced. She had wonderful ideas for the flow of guests, table arrangement, and timing of the event (cake cutting, dance, toasts,etc.).
The hotel is exquisitely decorated for Christmas with a jaw dropping lobby display that awed our guests.
The hotel management was incredibly accommodating; the maid of honor needed a room near the ballroom because she had a 2 1/2 month old infant, elderly guests were escorted into the hotel and shown to the elevator, the coordinator checked in with me several times during the evening to be sure all was well, the wait staff boxed up the centerpieces for me that night (after midnight!) for easy pick up the next morning.
This reception could not have gone smoother. The hotel is a boutique hotel one block up from the historic Union Station (train station) and every room feels as though you have stepped back to the turn of century. Large black and white squares tile every bathroom, deep tub, floor to ceiling windows, fireplaces, overstuffed furniture, etc.
My daughter and son-in-law "earned" the Presidential Suite by having family and friends use the spa over the past year. That patronage is tracked and once it reaches a certain amount, the bride and groom earn a free night in the suite. The Presidential Suite is a corner room with 2 full bathrooms, a sitting room with sofa and overstuffed chairs and desk, both bedroom and sitting room have fireplaces, a 1920's style lounge chair in the bedroom, full length mirror and wardrobe in the bedroom - such a bride's dream!
I highly recommend The Oxford for a wedding, reception, honeymoon, weekend get away or any excuse you can come up with!!
