“Canyon Run Ranch was the wedding venue of our dreams! Amy was always prompt in her communication leading up to the day and went above and beyond to ensure all of our questions and concerns were answered. My sister is in a wheel chair, and we were concerned about her ability to move through out the venue, but Amy ensured she was able to access everything from the ceremony space, cocktail hour, and reception barn! The venue itself is gorgeous. The pictures do not do it justice at all; it is straight out of a fairy tale! We used their recommended vendors list for catering and had 0 issues with the service. We also went with craft event bar for the DJ, alcohol, and planning services and I cannot recommend them enough. It made the entire day seamless so that both myself and my husband could relax and enjoy the day! Also, wedding cat was a fan favorite!”

“We hosted an amazing wedding for our daughter and son in law at the Marriott Cincinnati Airport. The staff were flexible, accommodating and so supportive throughout the entire process. Shelly is a rock star and has a great team. The venue worked so well for the rehearsal evening and set up, get ready rooms for bridesmaids and groomsmen on the day and of course the remarkable reception. It was so fast and so smooth. It was very special to have such organized planned meeting spaces as well as the flexibility for unplanned gatherings throughout the weekend. Many guests stayed overnight at the Marriott and joined in for the casual morning breakfast. The staff continued wrapping around our families until the weekend was complete. It was a magical wedding event and we couldn't have been happier with our Marriott experience!”
