Reception

Here are some photos from the reception that show the room all set up.

We used the Dockside Room. It was great! There was a really nice (big and private!) foyer right outside the room that we were able to use to set up things like the gift table, sign in photo, guest book, place cards, etc... The bathrooms were also right out here. I think this is the room that has a partition in the middle so if your wedding is huge, you can make this room double the size.
There was also a great deck overlooking the bay which added a nice outdoor space to the room.

I LOVE this photo! You can see the deck of the Dockside room as well as how huge the room has the potential of being!
If you look way in the back of the photo where the little "jetty" is sticking out, that was the original lawn we chose. We ended up with the Paradise Lawn for our ceremony by accident since another couple had really wanted that lawn... oh well! Worked out great for us! :) I think this other lawn (with the jetty) is the "official" Dockside Room lawn (or was in 2005) but I found the room to be easier to access from the Paradise Lawn. We got the Paradise Lawn as a free upgrade for being so understanding (like I care.. hello! Better lawn.. I won't argue!) but it's worth the extra splurge if you decide to go with it!

There it is, all set up! I fell in love with this room the first time I walked in it. Well, I fell in love with Paradise Point the second we drove onto the property! It's like when you find your wedding dress :) You just *know.* We did look at lots of other wedding properties but just kept going back to PP... so glad we did.

Non-pro but it's a nice one of the view!

Non-pro photo (again) so it's all fuzzy but it shows the big windows/view of the bay (and the oh so lovely carpeting! Gotta love resort/hotel carpets!)

Plenty of room for dancing!

When we got married (2005), Paradise Point had a deal with The French Gourmet in Pacific Beach so our wedding cake was included with the wedding package. This meant we got our wedding cake for $60 and $30 of that was the deposit for the plastic bits that hold the tiers together! :) It would have been $30 (just the plastic tier thingies deposit) but I wanted the fondant tinted blue so they charged for that. Still, not bad when you think of these $1000 wedding cakes that people have! :) I hope those are good!
Oh, the cake was fantastic! We even got to have multiple flavours since we were being indecisive! We had 4 layers total (100 guests) - 2 were chocolate-raspberry and the other 2 were lemon chiffon (or something lemon).
