a visit to Hilton
May 20, 2008
We went to Hilton today to tour the site and met with the just recently hired catering manager. We’ve been in contact with Hilton since last year where the hotel was in its transformation phase (a.k.a. did not look appealing at all) and they still didn’t have a complete staff. We’ve been so excited on this appointment since today would be the first time we’ll see what the lobby, ballroom, etc. looks like (BTW, the sales mgr. informed me that they just passed the building inspection and just got their food license last week and will officially open on mid-June).
Finally, we met with our catering manager (or social manager? hmm….) and thankfully, she’s really nice and helpful. So, they took us to the hotel across their temporary office and voila! We just went in through the side entrance and there is this beautiful wallpapers throughout. The further we went in, the more excited I am. At last, the foyer to the ballroom area! OMG, I’m so excited beyond words. The color of the wallpapers in the foyer, the color and style of the ballroom decor and chandeliers, all of those really well-matched and complement my wedding color theme. I’m glad the hotel turns out beautiful (well, it must be! considering it’s a “fresh-from-the-oven” building as well). All of these just make me more excited and nervous as we are getting closer to the ‘date’.
