My husband and I were thrilled with the Princeton Marriott At Forrestal for our wedding venue. Overall, their communication was great - there were a few delays early on, but as we got within 2-3 weeks of the wedding, they were on top of everything and made sure we had all the information we needed. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and they gave us the flexibility to make the space our own. The wedding coordinator and event manager went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect - I didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding, as they took care of every last detail. We are so grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend the Princeton Marriott At Forrestal to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.
