Christine & Mark’s wedding is a perfect blend of traditional meets modern. The sites they’ve chosen for their ceremony & reception are both historic landmarks. The Greek Orthodox Cathedral where the ceremony was held still upholds their old traditions, where the entire ceremony were led by priests, chanting in Greek from the bridal processing toward the benediction.

The venue where the reception is held, while a historic building, has added much of the modern touches to its design – for example, pre-lit, built-in LED light ceiling in the ballroom, where the colors of the room can be programmable to change with the music or however the couple wanted.

Christine & Mark’s wedding colors are gold, coral and brown. While gold is a traditional color often used in Egyptian weddings, it also happens to be a trendy color of the moment. Both the church and the reception ballroom have the gold color throughout the interior. Coral is used in the flowers and stationery. Brown is used in the bridesmaids’ dresses as well as the invitation. While gold provides a feeling of elegance, coral and brown bring warmth and welcoming. The three shades matched harmoniously.

Christine and Mark made their grand entrance and went straight into a traditional Egyptian
dance, where the wedding party joined them. The party went on with lots of dancing in both Egyptian and hit music.
The wedding was grand, completed with the Hollywood glamour of limousine, sparkling items, photos on the walk of fame (and lots of photo opportunities for the guests via photo booth), fancy lighting, hip music, partying down in style, delicious cuisine and impeccable service from the staff of the hotel.
