Nicole and Rob’s wedding was an Italian family affair. As Bay Area natives choosing a wedding venue in San Francisco was a must on their list but it was also very important to their parents. One really great element the InterContinental Mark Hopkins hotel has that makes this hotel even more unique is that it’s multi-generational. Our couple’s parents have a history here, maybe even their parents too, and I have found this to be true for several couples of ours. Nicole and Rob incorporated their parents and siblings into all aspects of the planning from the first site, to the menu tasting with custom entrees, specialty wine selection, signature cocktails, and all of the detailing. When a Father of the Bride is looped into all of the emails, then you know you have to be on point! Robs sister even stepped in as their wedding planner given her experience with event planning in the corporate and non-profit sector. So with all hands on deck the Buono and Lembo families used their family resources to pull off one big, alluring, Italian feast of a wedding celebration, glow sticks and all!
