“Words cannot adequately convey our gratitude and good fortune to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley Willis while planning our daughter’s Rehearsal Dinner, Cocktail Hour, Wedding Reception and After Party at The Townsend Hotel. From the moment we met to visit the venue setting, she was very responsive, professional, organized, patient, detailed and helpful. She was one of the main reasons we chose The Townsend as the wedding reception venue. With complete trust, we did not worry about any of the plans we made and she did not disappoint. It was such a privilege working with and learning from her.”

“The team at Detroit Marriott brought my vision to life for my wedding. Donnielle and Jae were professional, courteous and communicated every step of the way.

My bridal team and my Aunt were able to complete all the decorations the day before my wedding day. Weddings can have so many unexpected changes and I will say in my case, they were able to adapt and assist with those changes, relieving me of extra stress.
