Luxury Hotel in DC Offers Elegance in the Afternoon With Special Wedding Package

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - Feb 12, 2013) - For many brides, a dream wedding is literally just a dream, but The Mayflower Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel is making it possible for brides of every budget to host their big day at its historic wedding venue in DC.

With the Elegance in the Afternoon wedding and reception package, brides can enjoy all the glamour of an evening wedding at this luxury hotel in DC at a fraction of the cost. By hosting their event between 11:00a.m. and 4:00p.m., brides can save with prices as low as $99 per person, which means there's extra room to spend on everything from the dress to the DJ.

With nearly 39,000 square feet in its Washington, DC event venues, this landmark hotel offers spaces for weddings of every size, from family-only affairs to grand celebrations. With the Elegance in the Afternoon package, brides will save on what's usually the most expensive part of the day -- the reception. The package includes:

• 2 hours open bar with well brand spirits, wine and beer
• Sparkling wine toast
• Selection of hors d'oeuvres (6 pieces per person)
• 2-course plated lunch with the Mayflower signature bread service, salad, entrée and coffee service
• Wedding cake from Fluffy Thoughts Cakes
• White or ivory floor-length cotton twill linens with coordinating napkins
• Votive candles

Of course it wouldn't be a wedding without a few extra-special touches for the bride and groom, so this package also includes a two-night stay in the Bridal Suite, two upgrades to a one-bedroom suite offered at the wedding rate and two parking passes for the wedding.
