THE US GRANT Presents: Love, etc*
The US Grant invites you to join us on Sunday, March 4th from 12:00-4:00 P.M. for the 2012 Wedding & Event Showcase, celebrating the universal stages of love.
Love, etc* will explore the story of love, the various elements it takes to create a fantasy wedding and the journey of a heart’s desire. Brides-to-be will be treated to three dramatic levels from the innocence of the first date, to the sultriness of dating, and culminating with the heart-throbbing exhilarations captured on the wedding day.
Spanning three floors, each level will provide brides and guests with a chance to discover not only THE US GRANT’s most stunning wedding venues, but also engage with more than 60 of Southern California’s most sought-after wedding vendors in a luxurious and personal setting. Presented as a journey from ‘First Date’ to ‘I do’, our *etc includes the photographers, florists, event planners, entertainers, cake creators and the many more specialists who will help craft your desires into a reality.
M Bride Couture Wedding Gowns will showcase the season’s most spectacular wedding gowns and veils, treasures from Tiffany & Co. will add a touch of glitz and glamour, and a ‘Shoe Bar’ featuring top luxury designers from Neiman Marcus will have brides swooning for the perfect shoe to walk down the aisle. A custom invitation was created by Paper and Thread to invite you to this lavish wedding showcase.
Nearly 800 guests attended the showcase last year where one lucky and very deserving couple won a wedding at THE US GRANT with every detail coordinated and provided by the hotel and its top vendors. Brides will again be able to live a fairytale and have the opportunity to win a wedding for 100 guests at THE US GRANT as well as luxurious Honeymoon vacations to top destinations, including Hawaii!
Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at Love, etc*. The US Grant is located at 326 Broadway, San Diego.
A portion of the proceeds directly benefits the American Heart Association & San Diego’s Go Red for Women Campaign.
*etc = florals , fashion, photos, cake, cuisine, invitations, venues , music, honeymoons & more
