so friday's chronicle mentioned that american wedding was filmed at the ritz. when my department got ahold of that article, we all kinda panicked. no kidding. normally, we get about 10-12 web inquiries over the entire weekend for wedding info. this weekend, on sunday alone we had 20. my counterpart and i spent the entire morning answering all of them!! one inquiry even mentioned that she saw our hotel in the movie!!! yeah, we're all freaking out just a little...

p.s. i should mention that the actual wedding scene was NOT filmed at the hotel. that was a set built on a soundstage in LA. we do not have any large atrium looking venues in hmb. nope. just a lovely gazebo that you actually see several times in the film.
