Esperanza

We went for a visit to check out Chateau Esperanza as the wedding venue.

The entrance, with freshly cleaned Chandelier...it sparkled.

There were a number of rooms like this, where the wedding party and others can hang out.

The Ballroom.  Deceptively large...Heidi said 180 people fit.

Where the tent will be.  The ceremony takes place on the open end overlooking the lake.  

These ladies were simulating a walk down the angled aisle to the position of the ceremony. 

The view is fabulous even on a gray day.

Outdoor dining area adjacent the tent.  Bar is set up outside to left.

Heidi's butt-kicking boots.

Another ballroom view.

The entrance from a different vantage.  Pictures on the stairs?

Recliners provided for royalty.

Lots of nicely furnished little sitting spots.  

The Inn, also know as storage for open bar participants.

Overflow housing...4 rooms and free run of the house.

Impressive

Wedding of the Century !!!

Yes, this is the main event, but we're getting ahead of ourselves here.

Stylish guests arrived.

Lots of stylish guests.

All ages were well represented.

Just one of many very pretty young women in the wedding.

No visible tears from Dad.  Amazing self control.

Father Rob took care of business.
