“I do have a venue,” said the bride-to-be. “I know I do. I have to find it. I will. I WILL!”
“There she is!” she said. “There is my venue!” She ran up to it.
Hello, lovely: The Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan. This venue had all the pros of the previous venues we considered. English-manor-style architecture? Check.
Floor-to-ceiling windows for amazing photo ops? Check.
An insanely beautiful indoor location complete with handcrafted Murano chandeliers? Check.
Fabulous grounds? Checkity-check.
Mouth-watering, delectable, sweet-Jesus-Mary-and-Joseph-I-can’t-stop-eating food?
You can have a tea party catered to your bridal suite. Win.
Dessert table. Nom om om.
Oh yes…real food…that’s good, too!
Best of all, it was within our budget. The Royal Park Hotel was the first and only venue we visited in person. While we had other places on our “to see” list, each had a distinct prohibitive factor, whether it was cost or inclement weather. Neither of these were an issue with the RPH, and we fell in love the moment we walked into the lobby. It was an absolute dream. The architecture and overall design of the property was elegant, and it had the warm, intimate quality that we wanted for our wedding day.
How many venues did you consider before finding “the one?”

Mrs. Tartlet, Rochester, MI Age and Occupation: Age & Occupation: 27, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Medical Student Engagement Date: May 2, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: The Royal Park Hotel About Me: I'm an exuberant gal from the Midwest with a penchant for Neuroscience and anything sparkly. I'm not afraid to poke fun at myself, and I'm a believer that given the right pair of shoes, a girl can conquer the world. While an interest in the sciences threw Mr. Tartlet and me together (again, and again, until it finally stuck), we share a love for many things---food, video games, car dancing, food, bad puns, travel, did I mention food?---that ultimately led us to where we are now, less than five months from becoming Mr. and Mrs. We're planning a laid-back, romantic, garden-inspired affair with organic and quirky touches that reflect our love for the unexpected!
