Sheraton Palo Alto

5 stars for Kristina Tobin! While I just met her to check out the venue, she was super super sweet and very accommodating. I think because it's a smaller and modest hotel (right across the street from Stanford), they are more flexible and willing to change menus if you want. FYI - they are going to renovate their ballroom around summer '08.

Now that the wedding has come and gone, I have to say that this hotel still deserves 5 stars. I think it's a great value as we got the "cheapest" package and it included 2 bottles of wine per table, salad and entree, cocktail hour with 3 appetizers and champagne, guest parking, and another glass of champagne for the toasts. Pretty good compared to other hotels I checked out. Kristina Tobin was great to work with. I felt bad asking so many questions, but she was always nice and accommodating, and even when dealing with some uneasy news, she was still nice about it! You have to get Justine's ballroom and the adjoining banquet rooms - it has a lovely view with a skylight and the koi ponds. It was convenient for us since we had 190 guests and most were from out of town. We were able to throw a great party and couldn't have done it without Kristina.
