Cocktail hour in The Grand Lobby! We have two gorgeous spaces to choose from for guests to relax and mingle while the pool is "flipped" from ceremony to reception. The Grand Lobby is the most popular choice, which isn't surprising! ⁠
⁠
With sparkling crystal chandeliers casting a soft, romantic glow, guests are enchanted by the elegant surroundings adorned with marble sculptures and unique art pieces. The grand arched windows offer mesmerizing views of the lush private courtyards. Schedule your tour today to see this gorgeous space in person!⁠

Margaret's off-the-shoulder gown was the perfect fit for the Lightner Museum, and Ethan's classic black tux was the perfect complement. Old-world Hollywood elegance paired with charm and history = perfection! ⁠
