What Type Of Bridal Couple Would Like This Place?.JPG)
The Hilton Long Beach is a fine hotel close to the ocean in Long Beach. Long Beach has long held a strong appeal for many bridal couples because it seems to fill a lot of needs. It's south of Los Angeles, it's north of Orange County, and since it's close to the ocean its an ideal location for hosting a wedding. Long Beach has something else going for it, simple traffic patterns coming in and out of Long Beach. Now that may sound like an absolute useless point but it really isn't. Take Laguna Beach for example, on a summer weekend day the traffic patterns are horrible. If you have a church wedding and want to drive into Laguna Beach you will need at least 30 minutes once you exit the freeway to get onto PCH.
The nice things about the Hilton is that it's away from the main attractions of Long Beach. It isn't next to the Convention Center. It isn't next to the Aquarium, and its not on Pine Ave. This means less traffic and less hassle getting to this location. Once you exit the hotel, you are right on the freeway. This is important because often times brides need to get dressed at their hotel, leave and get married at a church, and then come back. You can make this work so easily with this hotel.
Of course the property is great, the outside has many good locations for portraits with a beautiful to die for fountain in the courtyard. The banquet rooms are second to none. And the staff, well, here's the deal with the staff. If you ever feel that they aren't giving you 100% at the location, feel free to call me or leave me an e-mail with your concerns. I know the powers high up in this hotel. That being said you will probably never, ever have to call me. This staff is amazing. They know their jobs so well. They go over and above every time. Their hospitality is excellent. Their attention to detail is excellent. Their food is wonderful. If you have other locations you are toying with signing up with and can be swayed either way. Take my advice, you won't won't be sorry with the Hilton Long Beach!
Photographic Potential
This venue has big beautiful rooms, a nice courtyard with an amazing fountain. It also has a beautiful lobby. All in all, the photographic potential is great, if a photographer knows what he or she is doing. If not this place will be problematic for an inexperienced photographer.
Possible Distractions/ Work Around
The only thing you have to watch out for is clearly explaining to
your guest where the hotel is located. If they go to far that
have about a ten minute drive over the bride if they are heading
