Vendor Spotlight - Graves 601 Hotel

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a wedding planner's luncheon at the fantastic Graves 601 Hotel. It was nice to sit down with my colleagues and talk about the wedding industry while enjoying the delicious food of this top notch hotel. We also toured the facility and I was very impressed with its beauty.

Not only does the Graves 601 have visually stunning architecture in their ballroom, they have it throughout the building. You can see beautiful aesthetics in the lobby, Cosmos Lounge and in the Bradstreet Crafthouse Restaurant. With so many art installations as backdrops, it would be easy to have a variety of fabulous pictures for your wedding album.

There are many event spaces provided by Graves 601 Hotel. Their ballroom has a maximum capacity of 350 for a dinner and dance. If you are doing a cocktail reception the maximum is 750. For a Cosmos Lounge reception they can host 300 maximum. Finally, the Bradstreet Crafthouse Restaurant can be used for a banquet that can accommodate 150 and they also have a special VIP Parlor that can host 50. The parlor is absolutely perfect for an engagement or Bachelorette party.

Now that I've covered all the attractive visual features, I have to rave about the food. The entire menu is impressive, to say the least. We had a variety of wonderful offerings. The luncheon started out with passed hors d'oeuvres. For example, they served Crostini with Preserved Tomato topped with Thyme and Parmesan, and Sesame Chicken Tenders with Pommery Mustard Sauce. Let me just say it was heavenly.

The main courses we tried were just as exemplary. My favorite was the Grilled Salmon Filet on a Cauliflower Stew with Charred Tomato Sauce and Arugula. Afterward we tried samples of their luscious desserts. The mini cheesecakes were my favorite.


Next to the divine atmosphere, and great cuisine, the top notch staff is another reason to have your wedding here. Everyone is professional and skilled at what they do. They will make sure that your wedding will be exactly what you envision.

Happy planning!
