Help from the Hilton

So, I just recently (like yesterday) discovered how awesome the Hilton Garden Inn website is! The wedding section of the site is totally wedding planning friendly, including a Wedding Checklist and all the information you need to plan your perfect Hilton Garden Inn wedding!


My favorite part of the site has to be their room layout software. You can download the software from their site and create the seating arrangement for your event. This is SO great, because it gives you the exact layout and dimensions of the room that you'll be using at your specific Hilton Garden Inn. You then create your custom room layout and you can email the design to the hotel, so they know exactly how the room should be arranged. I LOVE it!! Click here to check it out!

For my budget brides, HGI offers wedding planning assistance and on-site banquet facilities, providing delicious food and top-notch service! "Hilton Garden Inn is proof positive that it's possible to plan an exquisite wedding for a modest price." -hiltongardeninn.hilton.com

"Garden Inns also are equipped with an array of common-sense conveniences, including:
In-room microwave & refrigerator
Complimentary high-speed Internet access

Waterfront Weddings

Blog submitted by Danielle Lear, Turning Point Productions

WAY back in October, I had the pleasure of filming Joann & Ryan's wedding day at Kuttawa Harbor House. It was my first time filming there and I was excited to see what all the buzz was about! After a classic-rock filled interstate ride, I found myself a couple turns off the highway, driving along the GORGEOUS Barkley & Kentucky lakes. "Kentucky’s wonderland combination of Barkley and Kentucky lakes present a uniquely unspoiled beauty offering entertainment for everyone. The elegant Kuttawa Harbor House, with its beautiful lakefront grounds, sits in the midst of romantic Old Kuttawa." -www.kuttawaharborhouse.com

As soon as I arrived, I found myself exploring the Harbor House grounds. I wandered around to the garden, where Joann & Ryan's ceremony would be taking place. Waterfalls, weeping willows, the lake view - it was beautiful! I finally met Joann & Ryan, a super fun couple, loaded with personality, and began capturing their wedding day. One of my favorite parts of the day has to be their ceremony. The Harbor House ended up being the perfect venue for their intimate, meaningful (and highly entertaining!) wedding ceremony, which I highlighted in their mosaic film below:
