The location can't be beat. Its one block from the Walk of Fame and Mann's Chinese Theatre (and Beard Papa, yo), right in the center of Hollywood. There's a Metro stop right there for the intrepid adventurer who seeks a visit downtown or to North Hollywood but doesn't want to drive (and really, what out-of-towner does?). It's only a few blocks from our ceremony, and less than 2 miles from our reception - here's to proximity!

Especially exciting is that as a guest of the Hotel, you can access the exclusive, members-only Magic Castle Club. Here, some of the greatest magicians and prop comics perform nightly, in different parlors of this spookily awesome old-school castle/house. My favorite attraction there is Irma, the invisible piano player who takes requests!

Hee hee, I love how the 'Magic' part of our Magic Carpet Ride theme is being carried through, with the Magic Castle hotel :) Totally coincidental, I assure you. But fun, right?
With roughly half our invite list being out-of-towners, it was very hard to determine how many rooms of each type we'd need to reserve. Lucky for us, there's no deposit required, so we just got as many as we *might* need, and can add or take away rooms as we start getting RSVPs. The manager was really patient with all my questions, and now the deal is sealed!
That's a huge checkmark off our list! Now, we just have to get out those pesky Save-the-Dates.... but they're underway!
Are you in love with your hotel?

Thanks for this post Dana! I actually called them today and mentioned that I'd seen this on your blog. We're going to check it out for our wedding.
Oh, and I'm DEFINITELY interested in purchasing some of your decor stuff from you when you're done - if you can part with all those treasures you're finding!!!
