Grand Holiday Ballroom Wedding


Amber & Andrew were recently married at the Grand Holiday Ballroom in Olympia, WA on a cold rainy December day.  Fortunately for everyone,  indoors it was warm, cozy and perfect for a wedding.

As Amber and the bridesmaids prepared for the ceremony, the groom and his men were chilling downstairs.

Something old was a handkerchief from her grand mother (if memory serves me correctly) it was from WWI. 
Something new the pearl necklace, bracelet and dress.
Something borrowed were the pearl earrings.
Something blue, is the stone on her pinky finger ring.
And the frog in the bouquet was in memory of her sister who loved frogs.

There are plenty of locations for photographs inside at the Grand Holiday Ballroom – so , if weather is bad, you still can get great photos to remember the day!

The high beam ceilings, the warm colors of the venue make for an inviting venue.
