GetMarried.com

Colin Cowie & Deanna Pappas~The Bachelorette~ are the new hosts of Get Married on Lifetime. They will start on January 5th. Get Married is the 1st place I advertised so it's exciting to have these new hosts, even though it does come on at 4:30 here. {I have Direct TV} Colin's accent is to die for, too!

Happy Reading,

Venues of the Southland~The Grand Event Center

The Grand Event Center~Long Beach

Today I am not featuring a view or anything really unique. Today I am featuring a place that is easy on the wallet. The Grand Event Center is located right by the 405 freeway in the middle of Long Beach. The rooms are fairly basic, but sometimes what is important is not the venue but the people who are filling it. They don't charge for the room as long as meet the rooms guest minimum. The largest seats about 400. The smallest 80. The also have a covered patio for the ceremony. The value is the menu.

The Palm Terrace

The Garden Room~there's a built in dance floor and bar in this room

The Grand Ballroom

The Catalina Room

In these times you might not be able to afford the place of your dreams, but you still can have a beautiful wedding.

Happy Planning,
