We had the most incredible wedding weekend at The Townsend Hotel! From start to finish, the experience was truly exceptional. We hosted several events on-site, including our welcome party and post-wedding brunch, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The entire planning process was above and beyond — the staff made us feel so welcome and supported every step of the way. They were responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our weekend special. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the hotel — from the elegant accommodations to the outstanding service, everyone complimented us on what a great choice we made for the hotel block. The food was also amazing! Every bite, from the hors d’oeuvres at the welcome party to the brunch buffet, was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We’re so grateful to The Townsend for playing such an important role in our big weekend — we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to any couple planning their wedding.
