I recently had the very distinct pleasure of meeting Ari Bobbitt, the new Catering Manager of The Siena Hotel in Chapel Hill. Ari has established herself as a fine manager at other hotels and is planning to build up the wedding business at The Siena. I am so glad to see this happening because this little gem of a hotel has lain dormant for weddings for far too long.
Ari tells me they specialize in weddings of up to 100 guests and they have their own renowned chef, pastry chef and an amazing wine cellar to provide scrumptious delights. Indeed, the lunch I had there was absolutely delicious.
The staff was wonderful. You could not ask for better service or more friendly, helpful people. I was most impressed with everyone there, from the doorman who opened my door before I even got to it, to those at the front desk and all the wait staff at the restaurant. Top notch from beginning to end. Ari has a goal to make every wedding couple feel special from the moment they arrive for an initial chat with her through the end of their wedding and reception experience - and I can sense from her personality and that of her staff that she must be very successful in this.
As you pull into the parking lot of the hotel, a statue of a stallion is there to greet you. There is a famous horse race in Siena, Italy, called the Palio and it is for this that The Siena’s restaurant, “Il Palio,” is named.
Once inside the hotel, you are greeted with lush, Italian ambience and that friendly southern hospitality. This makes for a great combination.
If you are looking for a special location for your wedding, reception or any other event of 100 guests or less, you should definitely contact Ari Bobbitt by phone (919-918-2544) or email at The Siena Hotel. You will be very glad you did.
