Thank you to the St. Anthony Hotel!

The St. Anthony Hotel and its amazing staff helped make our wedding a truly magical weekend! From our rehearsal dinner in the Cascade Room, to the sunset ceremony on the rooftop terrace, to the elegant and festive Anacacho Ballroom--everything was beyond beautiful. Bridget and her team went above and beyond to meet every accommodation and request, and we appreciate the kindness and professionalism we constantly encountered. From the catering, to the concierges, to the cleaning and housekeeping staff--everyone played an important role in making our day so special.

AMAZING VENUE - Bridget Klish was amazing coordinator

My wife and I just had our wedding at The St. Anthony Hotel. We had the absolute best day ever and we are so happy with the venue and all of the amazing staff! Beginning at the initial inquiry, I worked with Bridget Klish and she was an absolute rock star! We couldn’t have had a better coordinator and she made our special day come to life. I (groom) was very in depth into the details of budgeting and planning and some coordinators could have become irritated by the amount of questions and concerns I had, but Bridget quickly and thoroughly answered every single one. As long as I emailed her before early afternoon, I would almost always get a response within an hour or two… We would even exchange emails late into the evening discussing little details. My wife and I visited the venue a couple times during the planning stage, and Bridget always made sure that the entire staff was ready for our arrival and everyone greeted us by name. I can’t speak highly enough Bridget and how much of an amazing job she did making our special day come life. If you are on the fence at all about a venue, please do yourself a favor and hop on the phone with Bridget at the St. Anthony. She will take amazing care of you!

Exceptional Elegance

The St. Anthony is beyond gorgeous and the event staff is beyond amazing! The hotel's history with the modern renovations gives a feeling of luxurious comfort. Our wedding day was everything we've dreamed of and the experience of planning was better than imagined because of the professionalism and personality of Bridget Klish. Bridget listened to our needs and desires, she made thoughtful recommendations and gently moved us in a different direction when necessary. You are blessed to fall in love, fortunate to get a chance to wed at the St. Anthony and exceptionally lucky to work with Bridget Klish. We also enjoyed working with Mohammed during our tasting. Our guest who stayed at the St. Anthony only had the best reviews.

Elegant Wedding at the St. Anthony

The couple I had the honor of planning the wedding for had selected the St. Anthony Hotel for their reception as their first order of business after getting engaged. The St. Anthony holds a very special place in their hearts and they knew there was no better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Bridget and the St. Anthony team went above and beyond to accommodate every need and make sure every little detail was perfectly executed! The service all around was top notch from catering to concierges to housekeeping staff. The location absolutely beautiful and holds so much history! Will definitely recommend the St. Anthony to other couples!

Having our wedding at the St. Anthony Hotel was a dream. From our first tour to our final walk through, everything was planned with ease. Wendy Haralson, event coordinator, helped us with every detail we needed assistance, and she made the entire process very easy for myself, the bride. On the day-of, the St. Anthony staff, Wendy especially, made sure everything we needed was perfect. Not to mention, the beauty and prestige of the St. Anthony. The combination of great staff and beautiful reconstruction truly make this the perfect venue!
