Did you get engaged over the holiday season? Congratulations! If you’re ready to take the plunge and book a venue, look no further than the Desmond Hotel.
We’ve already shared all of the fantastic reasons to hold your wedding weekend at The Desmond. From luxury accommodations in recently refurbished guest rooms for out-of-town guests and the bridal couple to experienced wedding specialists and an expert culinary team ready to create the wedding of your dreams, The Desmond is your one-stop locale for an elegant affair.
The Desmond has multiple spaces on site to hold ceremonies, including the Grand Ballroom and the intimate Conservatory. But if you want to take it to the great outdoors, there is no better place to exchange vows than underneath the Gazebo and then celebrate with family and friends on the tented deck at the Sunset Grille. What does your wedding package include?
One-Hour Cocktail and Hors d’Oeuvres Reception
Champagne will welcome your guests to an elegant cocktail and culinary reception including two stationary displays and six butlered hors d’oeuvres.
Four Hours of Premium Open Bar
Your guests will enjoy premium brand liquors and varieties of wine, imported beers and domestic beers.
Custom Table Décor
Included in your arrangements are ivory linens complemented by ultra-white outdoor chairs. The Desmond will enhance the table with mirrored tiles and votive candles.
Spectacular Wedding Dinner Buffet
The meal begins with a plated salad like an iceberg wedge or spinach salad with strawberries. Additionally, your guests will feast on a pasta such as short rib ravioli with sundried tomato in thyme jus or penne pasta carbonara with pancetta, peas and cream. The menu also includes a choice of two entrees, with selections including blackened Pacific salmon with lime beurre blanc sauce or chicken picatta. Filet mignon, jumbo lump crab cakes and Chilean sea bass are options available for an extra charge.
But Wait, There’s More
All wedding receptions at the Sunset Grille also include a menu tasting for the bridal couple and two guests and a hospitality suite with private staff. Take the elevator home after your wedding reception and stay in a romantic suite—yes, that’s part of your wedding package, too!
The Desmond wants to help you keep celebrating in the future, so the bridal couple can also return to The Desmond on their one-year anniversary and stay the night for free.

She concludes, “There is something really refreshing and inviting about starting your wedding day in the sunlight and ending under the moonlight. What could be more romantic?”
