Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

Hall of Mirrors

Winter weddings have a unique charm that’s impossible to resist. The crisp air, the soft blankets of snow, and the cozy ambiance all come together to create a magical setting for a celebration of love. Today, we’re excited to take you on a journey through Alyssa and Karan’s enchanting winter wedding in Cincinnati, a day filled with warmth, love, and unforgettable moments.

Alyssa’s bridal preparations took place at the iconic Hilton Netherland Plaza hotel in downtown Cincinnati.

The Hilton Netherland Plaza is not just a hotel; it’s a living testament to Cincinnati’s opulent past. Opened in 1931, this Art Deco masterpiece is a renowned architectural gem. The hotel’s interior is adorned with intricate detailing, including the famous Hall of Mirrors, where many celebrities and dignitaries have graced its halls over the decades.

As a Cincinnati wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing the anticipation and excitement that fills the air in the historic suites of the Hilton Netherland Plaza. Alyssa’s bridal suite was no exception, as laughter and joy filled the room. The elegant backdrop of this historic hotel added a touch of timeless beauty to the bride’s preparations.

The ceremony itself was nothing short of enchanting. Alyssa and Karan chose the Hall of Mirrors within the Hilton Netherland Plaza as their ceremony venue. The Hall of Mirrors is a sight to behold. Its soaring ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and, of course, the multitude of mirrors create an atmosphere of grandeur and romance. As Alyssa walked down the aisle, it was as if the mirrors themselves were reflecting the love and beauty that surrounded the couple.

Following the heartfelt ceremony, Alyssa and Karan’s guests gathered once again in the Hall of Mirrors, this time transformed into a winter wonderland for the evening reception. The transformation of the Hall of Mirrors was truly breathtaking. Twinkling lights, glistening crystals, and snowy accents created an atmosphere of enchantment. The tables were adorned with delicate white roses and flickering candles, casting a warm and inviting glow. It was a sight that captured the essence of a winter fairytale.
