Our daughter's wedding reception was held at The Courtyard Marriot at the Spectrum in Irvine, CA. It was held outdoors in the courtyard area and was an evening reception with 100 guests, making the lighting magical under the stars. The setting was spectacular - like an outdoor garden wedding. The staff at the hotel couldn't have been more accommodating. We had many out of town guests stay at the hotel and they also raved about the customer service, kindness, and the "over the top" care they received. Pedro the chef out did himself with the salmon and chicken. There was nothing that was not perfect. The location was also perfect. Right off the 5 and 405 freeway next to the Spectrum was amazing. Out of town guests ended up staying ten days and enjoyed the shopping, dining, and rides on the "wheel" at the Spectrum. We are so grateful to the detail and consideration each staff member extended to us. What a gift. We will always remember this wedding reception as being one of the most magical events of our family!
