And the Winner Is....

After much anticipation, we have finally picked a reception place! We signed the contract on Wednesday! We will be having the reception on September 20, 2008 in the Harbor Club at the Pier 5 Hotel. We looked at so many places, and all had really great and different characteristics. There are many things we like about Pier 5 - it's in the Inner Harbor (where we had our first date and got engaged), it's on the water and the Harbor Club has many windows, it's very unique and is not a huge corporation (which will hopefully allow us some flexibility), and most importantly, we can almost afford it! We are so excited (well, I think




I'm probably a little more excited than Ryan, but that's ok). It's almost starting to feel real. Next step is to pick the church... stay tuned...

I know it seems kind of early for this, but I have included information for booking a hotel room for the wedding. We have blocked off rooms at 3 hotels in Baltimore which are all owned by the same company and have a free shuttle between all 3. Unlike a Marriott or Hyatt, these hotels do not have more than 100 rooms each, so we want to make sure that our guests get a room if they think they want to stay downtown for the night of the wedding. You do not need to put a deposit down to book the room - you just need a credit card to hold your reservation. The links for each hotel are included below:

Admiral Fell Inn http://www.harbormagic.com/AdmiralFell/admiral_fell_default.asp
Brookshire Suites http://www.harbormagic.com/Brookshire/brookshire_default.asp

Rates are as follows:
Pier 5: 2 night minimum, $239/night
Admiral Fell Inn: no minimum, $199/night
Brookshire Suites: no minimum, $189/night, Breakfast is included

If you would like more information to make your reservation, please email me at chick-lenoirwedding@comcast.net and I will give you the phone number and additional information that you will need to book a room with the rates above.
