If its available, make sure you get the presidential suite. It is complimentary the night of the wedding, as long as it is available. If you also reserved it the night before your reception it will also give the wedding party a place to get ready the day of the wedding. Once again its these sort of items that makes things easier for you and your wedding party.

There's a range of places for people to hang out while still being part of your reception. You have the ballroom of course, the patio out back, the large foyer, and even the bar area with nice couches.
