Reception: Riviera Parque
Grade: A+
First off, lemme say that we had the whole venue to ourselves that night! That’s right… there were two cancellations for the evening. Our contacts were Mark and Danielle. They were very accommodating and made sure we got what we wanted.
There was just one minor slip up… I wanted they to replace the podium used in the hall for the speeches because ours was chipped (see photo) but that was it. Hardly a deal breaker.
I was waited on hand and foot… even throughout the photo session… a server asked if I wanted a cool beverage… or anything to eat. The bridal suite was very nice, and there was fresh fruit and drinks awaiting us. The food was exemplary! We had a 4 course meal, which was enough for me! We added a full sweet table and fresh fruits. Half of the cakes went untouched. My parents were going to take it home with them (Dad rented a minivan) but there was no room!
We had the advantage of attending functions this hall previously. My company ’s annual Holiday Party was held there for the past few years, so naturally it was my first choice. I would definitely recommend this place… not only is there free parking, but the rooms are so grand and exquisite!

We went with “Overjoyed” by Stevie Wonder for everybody… My dad and I ultimately danced through the whole song, but Nick and his mom joined in at the second verse, and then the wedding party joined in during the last chorus.
After the first dance and quick intros, dinner started. We didn’t want everyone and their mother making speeches so we just designated a few key people to do the honors.
First up were the Best Man Aaron, and MOH Brandi.
I know what your thinking… two posts in two days? I had a lot of time on my hands last night. My thing is this, I have the copy ready… it just takes time to decide what pics I want to use!
Back the recaps! The wedding party entered the hall to “Magic” by Robin Thicke. It’s a very up beat song… all of us was bumping to the beats as our DJ was revving up the crowd.
… and even more pics!
So ya, we left off at the wedding party getting in the stretch Nav on our way to the big party! BIL Peter took some quick pics of us all.

I can’t wait to see this movie, the commercial alone makes it a must see… at least for me.
