Wedding Ceremony and Reception
On Oct. 11th, we had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Marriott Southwest, and Lisa and staff were amazing, to say the least. They went above and beyond what we had pictured what that day would be like. The ceremony and reception had zero issue, which is very surprising, and the staff was very accommodating to any request on that day to any minor changes which made it continue seamlessly. I would highly recommend this place for any couples looking for a very affordable place to hold their ceremony and or reception at.
Perfect Wedding Hotel
The team at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest was a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process. Their communication was detailed, honest, and polite, which put us at ease and made the process seamless. The venue itself was large, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a wonderful backdrop for our special day. The Marriott staff communicated with us regularly to ensure all the logistics were taken care of, allowing us to truly be present and enjoy our wedding celebration. We are so grateful for their professionalism and dedication to making our day perfect.

From the moment we first visited the hotel, we were impressed by its elegance and beautiful spaces. The staff was welcoming, and overall atmosphere was perfect for our wedding. A special shoutout goes to our event manager Becca! She was absolutely Phenomenal. From out initial planning meetings to the big day itself, Becca made everything seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail, organization, and communication were outstanding. She listened to our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Becca was a calming presence, coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everything ran on schedule. She handled any hiccups with grace and professionalism, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special moments with family and friends. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable! Our guests raved about the beautiful setting, and incredible meal, and overall experience. We are so grateful to the Marriot Hotel and Becca for making our wedding day truly magical. If you're considering this venue for your wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend it!
