Reserve Your Room Online!

We all know two things for sure about me...

1. I am an organizational freak!
2. I love to save myself and anyone else I can ... money $$$

That being said, I know it is early, but I was very excited when the manager at the reception hall told me about a nice hotel nearby that offers free shuttle service to and from the wedding reception. Not only does that mean no cab fare, but also no drunk driving from our inebriated friends and family! That is really important to me, so I hope this whole plan works out!

Here is the deal...

Currently, there are 10 rooms on hold for the night of June 26, 2008 and 15 rooms on hold for the night of June 27, 2008 at the Courtyard by Marriott at 30190 Van Dyke Ave Warren, Michigan 48093.

All reservations at the discounted rate and in our reserved block must be made by June 1, 2008! Just mention the Wilson Hall Wedding to get your discount or use the handy links below to reserve a room online!

If we get at least 10 bookings at this hotel, there will be free shuttle service to and from the reception. The rates for the room will be discounted and breakfast the morning of June 28th may also be discounted! (We will find out later!)

There are two styles of rooms to choose from. To receive the discounted rate

Of course Greg and I hope to see everyone get rooms and not drink and drive, but we know that cannot happen! But, we can do our best to help everyone out!

Finally Booked It!

I cannot believe we have been engaged for a year and two months already... Do you know what that means? In 10 months we will be married! I think it is about time we finally booked our hall in writing right? We should have done that a few months ago!

Originally we wanted to have our wedding reception at my work in one of the halls there. Once I priced out the dinner with our catering company I quickly realized the reality of it all. The catering company at my work charges way too much for food!! It is not my work that charges too much money, it is the catering company that works out of there that is a rip off!

Anyhow, quite a long time ago Greg found this hall called the Mabry Center. It is very close to the church and close to local hotels and expressways. The venue is only 4 years old and is not out dated like the other places in the area that we could afford.

It took a while to find a number to contact someone at. When I finally got ahold of them we set up a meeting and checked it out. The prices were awesome, the menu was great and from what we met of the staff - they all seemed just fine! We put our name down for our date and the sales rep told me she would call if anyone wanted our date.

We kept in touch here and there, but with time moving so quickly I wanted to just get hall finalized for us on our date. Just yesterday, I finally put down the deposit on the hall! It was a reassuring feeling to know that we can check that off the list officially and that I can tell work that I won't be having my reception there.

Things are very slowly coming together... Now... about the dress...
