Grand Hyatt San Francisco | Site Tour & Lunch

On Monday, three of the fab five got treated to a lovely lunch and site tour by Lauren Cherry at the Grand Hyatt San Francisco in Union Square. What a nice venue, with so many options to have wedding receptions as well as ceremonies on site. We saw that they can accomodate anywhere from 20-500 guests, and some of their event spaces have stunning views of San Francisco.

The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed or lunch and learning more about what the Hyatt has to offer our potential clients. Lauren is a delight, and any client would be lucky to work with such a positive and knowledgable catering manager. We asked Lauren for her top five reasons the Hyatt stands out against other venues in their same category, and here are her top five:

1) Personal Preference Menus that allow your guests to choose their entree the evening of the event.
2) Fabulous view space from 36th floors above Union Square overlooking the bay & city.
3) Outstanding Hyatt Brand customer service and attention to detail from all of our staff, with a focus on you and every one of your guests.
4) Location, Location, Location! In the heart of Union Square near the city's best shops, restaurants & tourist attractions for out of town guests.
5) Customizable wedding packages to fit every Bride & Groom's perfect wedding plans and budget.

As you can see, they have a lot to offer, and if you do check them out for your wedding or event, definitely look into renting the Presidential Suite. It is fit for a king and queen including a sauna and panoramic views. You can get more information by contacting Lauren Cherry at 415-848-6096 or lauren.cherry@hyatt.com.

Vendor Mixer | The Hotel Vitale

Some of the Fab Five were able to attend the vendor mixer at the Hotel Vitale in San Francisco last week. It was a wonderful evening for an event on the terraces at the Hotel Vitale, as the temperature reading was about 92 that day. The event staff at the Hotel Vitale made us feel so welcome, and were showing us some of the newer spaces they have available for smaller events. The food was amazing and so was the company! It is always nice to see and catch up with other vendors in our industry. Here are a few photos Duncan took of the evening:

Hotel Vitale is a great location for a wedding under about 125 guests, and is located in one of the most beuatiful locations in San Francisco. Even if a wedding isn't a possibility there, the suites and terraces are great to have a welcome cocktail party, rehearsal dinner or day after brunch. Many couples stay there even if their wedding is off-site and get ready with the bridal party in one of their gorgeous suites overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Plus, the terraces are wonderful photo ops for pre-wedding photos! Check them out for more information!

Cheers!
