Here's the kicker- ladies, I know how you love them- but those Chivari chairs are not always in the budget- so you may decide to pass them by. Drumroll please...
At JBPC, you don't have to make sacrifices! They have a multitude of cocktail rounds, round guest tables, and chivari chairs for you to choose from. Of course, you are always welcome to rent additional items- but this is a great starting point!

Two of my friends were recently married in July. I'm always a fan of purchasing a gift off a registry- but this time I wanted to do a little bit more. I was inspired by their wedding website, which sported a pedestrian/sign like graphic of a proposal:
In the spirit, I came up with a fun and adjusted the colors to be a bit warmer- referencing "Night" and "Bluebell" from Paper Source. Here's what we came up with:
What I love most about Boutique Hotels is their attention to detail, flair of individuality. Upon check in, guests are offered a goldfish for their room, to make them feel a bit more at home. Housekeeping will take care of feeding and caring for the fish while you are out and about exploring!
Jackson 20, attached restaurant and in house caterers. Beautifully decorated- and the food is fantastic! They specialize in Americana- and southern comfort food. They do offer lighter fares, and menus vary seasonally.
The parlor in the Bombay Room. I love the details of the lattice work dividing the space. The Bombay room is just off the outdoor courtyard patio- and is the perfect size for a cocktail hour. The chocolate brown linens are their standards for events- and they have a plethora of runners that they will match to coordinate your colors and style preferences. I love that the standard for cocktail rounds and serving tables is not white! Something different, it goes well with the room- and it's included in your contract!
Standard chair, tuxedo linen for guest tables.
They offer both high and low cocktail rounds.
Leaving the Bombay Room, the great hallway towards the Paris Ballroom.
Did I mention that as soon as you step out the door, you are in the mix of all things Old Town! Just half a block from City Hall- with historic architecture and a beautiful fountain, perfect for photos, and two blocks from the Alexandria waterfront- Torpedo Factory, the pier, so many great photo ops! Hotel Monaco is centrally located making it a perfect place for one or all of your wedding events. Even if you are not having an event there- consider blocking rooms there- your guests will love it, and so will you!
I forgot to mention, as soon as you step outside from the Hotel, there is a Trolley Stop- free trolley that runs from King Street Metro, all the way down King Street to the waterfront ( and back!)
