The invitations for the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton have gone out. Since my name was apparently left off the guest list I am considering celebrating stateside. If you fall into the same category, If your name was left off the list the New York Palace hotel is offering a Royal Wedding Sunrise Breakfast on Friday, April 29, 2011, the date of the wedding.
If you want to participate prepare to wake up early. The event, priced at $150 per person inclusive, begins at 5:30 am with coffee and tea service in The Drawing Room at The New York Palace. At 6 am, breakfast service will begin to correspond with the 11 am wedding start time in London, and will conclude at 8 am with a champagne toast. Guests will view the ceremony on flat-screen TVs while enjoying traditional English morning meal favorites, including scones with marmalade, scrambled eggs with Devonshire cream, and breakfast bangers.
The setting in the appropriately grand room will be festive with personalized place cards, elegant floral arrangements by Nancy Sweizy Events, “In Honour Of” printed menus, and commemorative wedding “favors” (scented glass candles with an embossed crown logo). All attendees will receive keepsake Palace slippers, and pillows and blankets will be available throughout the breakfast for those who aren’t quite fully awake yet.
To make reservations for the event, call 212-303-7785. Guests wishing to reserve a Superior guestroom priced at $299 the night before the breakfast may do so by contacting the reservations department at reservations@nypalace.com, calling (800) 804-7035 or visiting the website.
