RSS FeedsSocial Networking | Marines Memorial with Tiffany & VanBy Peter Bruce posted on Monday, May 31, 2010 @ 8:22 AM - (General)Peter Bruce Photo was lucky enough to be involved with Tiffany and Van's wedding at the beautiful Marines’ Memorial Club. The Marines’ Memorial is a hidden jewel in the heart of San Francisco’s Union Square. This Beaux-Arts beauty was built in 1925, and in 1946 was dedicated as a memorial to the Marines who lost their lives during the great World War II. Today, the landmark is a nonprofit club for veterans and their families—and also a fine hotel and special event facility like Tiffany & Van's wedding.
The Club’s rich architectural heritage, first-class food & service, and nostalgically elegant décor bring extra dimensions to any celebration. The entire 10th and 11th floors of the building are fitted out with wonderful banquet spaces. Weddings on the 11th floor might begin with a ceremony in the exquisite, take-your-breath-away Crystal Ballroom. A vaulted hand-painted ceiling holds three massive crystal chandeliers. Their ornate prisms shimmer over the gleaming parquet floor, and the ballroom’s oval shape lends a soft intimacy to the magnificent space. For ceremonies, the staff sets up a raised dais and an archway or chuppa flanked by a pair of ficus trees festooned with twinkle lights. After the service, guests retire to the Crystal Lounge, connected to the Ballroom by a foyer. Everyone toasts the happy couple, while taking in the sweeping city view from the Lounge’s wall of vaulted windows. (Tear your eyes away from the luminous cityscape for a moment, and admire the Lounge’s gold-leafed and frescoed ceiling.) When it is time to dine, guests return to the Crystal Ballroom, which has been transformed with white linens and silver candelabra centerpieces. The Ballroom also has a built-in dance floor that runs the length of the room, so everyone has plenty of space to kick up their heels.
