Why We Like This Place
Imagine a cobblestone piazza dotted with marble tables. Sparrows flit in and out of ficus trees, and terracotta planters ring an elegant, three-tiered fountain set in a turquoise-tiled pool. You’re sipping wine with your beloved and a summery breeze carries the smell of roasting herbs and garlic. Paris you ask? Perugia? Rome? No, far from it…you’re in Costa Mesa at the Ayres Hotel & Suites, a modern hotel with a decidedly old-world sensibility that Zagat’s Survey rated as “the best bargain hotel in California.
Despite its size (the hotel has 290 rooms), the Ayres Hotel & Suites retains a homespun, friendly atmosphere. Your guests will immediately feel at ease as they walk through the hotel’s lobby to the wedding site, pausing to admire antiques from around the world—Ching Dynasty elephant sculptures, rare model ships and life-size cloisonné lambs.
The Garden Courtyard, with its cultured and international ambiance, is the hotel’s most popular ceremony site. Couples usually say their vows in front of the fountain, positioning the bridesmaids and groomsmen on either side along its steps. Come evening, the incandescent street lamps and the glittering necklace of fountain lights add a touch of magic to the courtyard. From the wedding site it’s just a short walk to the reception and pool area on the lower level of the main hotel. You can host your reception in one of four rooms, each decorated with warm wood wainscoting, oil paintings, and custom wall treatments. All banquet rooms open onto a large, inviting pool patio. The Living Room can accommodate a buffet or a small sit-down dinner, while the Camberley, Essex or Breton Rooms are more spacious areas—big enough for a crowd and a dance floor. Tables can also be set up around the pool.
When the day’s celebration is over, the bride and groom have the luxury of retiring to their hotel suite, compliments of the Hotel. Awaiting them will be a bottle of chilled champagne, just one of the many fine and caring touches you are sure to encounter when you hold your event at the Ayres Hotel & Suites.
