Starting A New Year In The Old City

While Sunday weddings are usually a little more sluggish (when it comes to getting people up and dancing), Lori and Kevin's event went off without a single hitch. Also, despite a majority of the guests being rabid New York Giants fans attending their wedding during a major playoff game, the friends and family stayed mostly focused on the celebration at hand.

Lori and Kevin treated their guests to an experience in one of Philadelphia's finest and most regal facilities. The food was superior, the service was attentive and fast, and the mood in the room was extremely happy and light-hearted.

One very cool thing I noticed at the entrance was a rather unique guestbook idea. Lori and Kevin had purchased a copy of "Philadelphia Then And Now", a book depicting photos taken in the recent and more distant past of several of the most historic locations in Philadelphia. Their guests were invited to peruse the book, select one of the photos they might have liked and use the white area in the photos to write their well-wishes and congratulation notes. It looked like an awesome idea!

On a personal note, my new Bose sound system flourished in the Down Town Club's ballroom! It seemed as though music was coming from every corner of the room, surrounding everyone in the perfect level of sound!

I could not be happier with my new sound system!

Congratulations, Devon & David!
