<pstyle="padding-left: 30px;"><spanstyle="font-size: 10pt;">Unfortunately, this Marriott is serious about allowing only their own food & beverage in hotel function spaces. And our hotel bill this year is already impressively steep, the Bay Area being what it is. On available budget our Hospitality area this year would be a sparse and spartan experience (aside from the reliably sparkling company there you all so generously provide.) </span></p>
