My husband and I booked a room block at the Courtyard Marriott Nashua for our wedding on October 8, 2021. This hotel has a partnership with our wedding venue, LaBelle Winery, so we heard about this through our coordinator. I’m sure some of you might have a fancier boutique hotel in mind when it comes to your wedding day, but nothing beats the kindness of the staff at Courtyard Marriott Nashua. My husband and I worked with Danielle throughout our wedding process, and she was absolutely incredible. She was timely in her responses, and was understanding and supportive even when we had a million and one questions (because we totally did!) We LOVED working with her! Danielle helped to get me in the bridal suite early, the night before the wedding to be exact, when normally I wouldn’t get it until early the morning of. The bridal suite was HUGE and was perfect for my 13 personal bridal party. The room was clean and had plenty of seating, as well as a long conference table where makeup happened, and a tall bar top where hair happened. With the partnership, we had complimentary shuttle service to and from the hotel for our wedding guests, complimentary use of the atrium for our after party (drinks and food permitted), and an upgrade to a presidential suite. The staff was so friendly there that after our rehearsal we ditched a bar we planned to go to after, just so we could go back and drink at the hotel in the lobby. The fire pit outside was perfect for late night drinks as well. The best perk of all is that the room block prices are awesome and affordable for your guests, and that is something I know people appreciate!! Maybe you’re picky when it comes to hotels, but I promise you can’t go wrong here. The drinks are great, the staff is incredible, and the downstairs bar/TV lounge/ and fire pit are fabulous! The rooms are clean and cozy, and it’s within 3 minutes from a department store, grocery store, and a Chick-Fil-A!
We chose here as it was a comfortable setting and very accomodating. Danielle took the time to hear what we wanted and help make it a reality. She stayed in constant contact answering any questions and just being there to help reduce my stress level. I can't rave about the food enough. We got so many compliments on how great the food was and how perfectly it was cooked. Out package included everything which made less hassle for us also. I can't recommend The Event Center enough or Danielle. Truly top notch and I am so glad we had our wedding here a week ago.
The Courtyard was a wonderful place to call home for a few days as my husband and I celebrated our wedding weekend. The staff was so nice and attentive and Danielle was amazing at allowing me to make adjustments to our rooming list when needed. They
passed out welcome cards I had created and were great to all our guests. Also they allowed us access to some of their spaces so that we could gather before and after the wedding. Finally, they work with our wedding venue and provided free transportation for all of our guests staying at the hotel which was greatly appreciated by everyone!
I will certainly be recommending Courtyard in Nashua for anyone I know staying in the area!
Any questions?
This is a review in praise of Danielle A who is the Social Sales Manager at the Nashua Courtyard Marriott. Our daughter needed to make a quick change in the hotel housing her wedding guests due to an emergency unforeseen closing of her original hotel.
She had very little time in which to rearrange housing for her 20ish booked rooms for the weekend. When calling other local hotels she found that many of them never even bothered to return her calls.
Danielle was available to help her right away even though she wasn’t holding her event there.
We really appreciated the kindness and professionalism she displayed.
She has a kind and caring manner that really made a difference in a bride’s ability to enjoy her wedding weekend. I would not hesitate to advise anyone to plan their wedding at this hotel.
Our guests enjoyed their stay also and we feel lucky that we ended up at this hotel!
FYI- the rest of the staff here are wonderful also.
They helped us with a check in issue that really made a difference for us when they really didn’t have to.
The Event Center at the Courtyard Marriott Nashua was GREAT!! The Event coordinator Danielle, assisted us in putting together our ideas for the reception we wanted and within our budget. The event day went so smoothly. The event staff were so helpful, efficient and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was in place that we had planned. The food was GREAT. We had many compliments on the service and the quality of the food from our guests. Because of COVID and understaffing everywhere, we were prepared for delays in food service etc. That never happened. We are SO happy that we picked the Marriott Nashua. We honestly could not have asked for a better night thanks to the amazing staff! We also stayed for two nights. The rooms were also great! Very clean and comfortable! We would highly recommend the Event Center at the Marriott Nashua !!!
I got married at the beginning of September. Danielle, the coordinator was AMAZING made sure that things were in order and good to go. I had a little fall out with the DJ I had hire he didn’t show up. Danielle did everything she can to find me another DJ at the last minute and came through. My husband and I were very pleased with the way she did things. I honestly couldn’t have gone through that day without her!! SHES TRULY AMAZING. And omg the food and staff was so awesome. My husband and I had a fantastic wedding day. THANK YOU DANIELLE!!!
We needed to change hotels only a few weeks before our wedding and needed to accommodate 25+ guest rooms, after our hotel closed d/t an unforeseen incident. Danielle and Jacob could not have been easier to work with and they set up our room block seamlessly. They even comped our room and provided a large space for us to gather with our guests for an afterparty once we got back from the venue! The rooms were beautiful, the outdoor patio was great for relaxing in the morning and our guests were very happy with the cafe in the morning. They made sure our wedding weekend was perfect and we can't thank them enough!
I recently attended a wedding at the Event Center in Nashua. It was amazing!! Danielle the wedding coordinator was with the bride every step of the way. She was so attentive to the entire family. The DJ they hired did not show up to the event and Danielle was able to find another one within 30 minutes. She never missed a beat. onThe entire evening was fantastic, we stayed in a very nice room and had a delicious dinner and breakfast. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful, they all went out of their way to make sure we were happy. I would highly recommend the Courtyard Nashua’s Event Center to host your wedding or next event.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Danielle and the entire staff at the Event Center Nashua/Courtyard Marriott.
As a COVID bride I had many things fall through on me, after my original venue fell through I was lucky enough to be offered a spot to have wedding at the Event Center Nashua. At the time our room block was at the hotel and little did I know this venue and team would be the best thing that happened to me! Danielle was my point of contact leading to the wedding and I can't express how much she helped me to bring everything together. She was professional, fun, and beyond dependable when it came to all things wedding and planning. She was upfront and positive, and I know my day would not have been what it was without her. Trust her, with everything...She will make sure its perfect.
Danielle like any other wonderful coordinator works well with her team, and let me tell you the team at the Event Center Nashua/Courtyard Marriott are AMAZING! Special thanks to Robert with the facilities team for all his hard work, Kristin with the front desk who went above and beyond, and Julie with Banquet Services who was such a wonderful addition to my day! I appreciate every interaction, every crossed T or dotted I, and every smile. Our time was phenomenal and I know others will have the same experience!
We did not have our wedding and reception at the Courtyard Marriott in Nashua, but we stayed there along with many of our guests during the weekend of our wedding. Danielle was great in helping us reserve all the rooms! She is just about the only reason we're giving any stars. Almost all of our interactions with hotel staff were terrible. I understand that they are understaffed, but some comments were completely unnecessary. In addition, my husband and I found a pair of false lashes in our suite, so the bathroom definitely was not cleaned. We would NOT recommend staying at this hotel for a wedding or even for a night!
Believe it or not everything was perfect. Danielle Archambault Crump was amazing. The tiniest of details, she was right on it. She seemed to be everywhere handling everything. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
Courtyard Nashua is the perfect hotel for a wedding weekend!!! We worked with Danielle in sales and Joe in catering for our wedding room block, welcome reception, and post-wedding brunch. They made everything so easy! Many guests were complimenting us on how nice the hotel was and how much easier it made the wedding weekend to have many events in the same place as the sleeping rooms! I would highly recommend booking the event space for any bride looking at the Courtyard Nashua for a room block. Danielle and Joe rock and this hotel is great!
I highly recommend the Event Center for a bridal shower or any function. Danielle, who coordinated all the details went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied. The banquet staff was professional, accommodating, caring and on top of things. From the delicious food to the wonderful floor plan to the elegance of the set up, Caring and efficient staff, extra help making sure all the details were perfect. The bridal shower was a big hit. The classy ambience was perfected as a result of a team effort! Make this your choice!
From beginning to end, throughout the planning and execution over a 7-month period during a pandemic, everything went smoothly and flawlessly, thanks to Danielle. She took care of every single detail involved with multiple wedding-related events over the course of three days. Although there were many stress-inducing details requiring our attention, this was never the case when it came to anything related to the Courtyard Marriott. Danielle was spot-on with all her suggestions and went way above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The price of peace-of-mind leading up to a destination wedding? Priceless, thanks to Danielle.
I don’t even know if the right words exist for this venue. From the very first email requesting information and a tour of the event center Danielle Archambault was absolutely amazing. Every email and question was handled so promptly and friendly. She truly made our wedding weekend the most unbelievable time. Trying to plan a wedding during covid was stressful enough but Danielle completely made everything else to do with the wedding absolutely stress free. The venue was beautiful from the fire pit out in the courtyard to the beautiful reception space and cocktail hour space. It was truly a dream come true.
My husband and I highly recommend the Event Center! Danielle and staff went above in beyond in unprecedented circumstances to make our wedding day special. We got married in August and like many couples, were concerned about hosting a wedding during the pandemic. However, the Event Center's ability to adhere to social distancing guidelines and Danielle's dedication to providing a safe environment relieved us of a lot of that stress. We initially chose this venue because of the affordable packages, the Marriott connection and access to a wedding coordinator. Each of these were worth every penny! The food was excellent. Having a hotel connected to the venue was convenient and the Presidential suite was an unexpected perk. Finally, Danielle's creativity transformed a hotel event space into a beautiful wedding reception and her expertise helped everything run smoothly throughout the day. We really didn't have to worry about a thing! Overall, we had an amazing time with our family and friends and are truly grateful we chose the Event Center for our special day.
I toured SO many venues and The Event Center Nashua was my last stop. I was feeling super defeated because I have always wanted a destination wedding and because of Covid I had given up on the idea and started looking at local venues. So as I walked through the event center and loved the beautiful ballroom and hotel space I couldn't help but feel a little down. We sat down and spoke with Danielle, went over all the awesome pricing (that included taxes/fees/gratuities which is basically unheard of around here) and I think somehow Danielle could tell I just wasn't quite right... we talked a little and she asked what I felt I was "missing out on" and I explained that to be honest I loved the venue and the pricing but I couldn't help but feel like I was missing out on my true dream of having a destination/beach wedding... we talked for a while longe, she gave some great advice and wasnt pushy at all, I left the event center with a date on hold but with the bug in my head of what did i feel I was missing out on. I decided to move forward with a destination wedding for 2021 and although the times are super uncertain I feel like as amazing as Danielle and the event center are I wouldn't have been happy no matter what because it wasn't truly what I wanted. I know this review is a lot of rambling but I just want to basically say that Danielle is amazing, she truly cared about what I wanted and didn't push me into signing a contract because she was concerned about my happiness and that is honestly SO refreshing. I would absolutely recommend The event center Nashua and more importantly I would recommend Danielle a million times, shes sweet, caring and you can tell she loves what she does!
We originally booked with the Event Center in December 2019 for our 150 person reception in August 2020 but obviously had to change those plans! Danielle was great to work with from the start, and we are sure that we would have had a wonderful reception at the Event Center. We were very thankful that the Event Center was flexible during the uncertainty of the pandemic and allowed us to cancel our August reception with a refund. When we moved up our date to have a small family ceremony, we did end up using the Event Center for a small dinner after all! Danielle happily answered all our many questions when planning, and the food and service for our dinner were fantastic. We took some great photos outside the hotel before our ceremony. For dinner, we were able to use the Garamond room with an attached private courtyard, which was perfect for allowing our families to remove masks outdoors with less worry. Our stay at the Courtyard was also very pleasant.
Sorry, this will probably be a long one! My husband and I loved EVERYTHING about the Event Center Courtyard Marriott. We had always wanted to have the ceremony, reception, and hotel all in one spot, and the Event Center has that, plus more! We loved the flow of the smaller ballroom for our ceremony, to the space for cocktail hour (including a separate space for the bridal party to enjoy hors d'oeuvres and take pictures), to the beautiful ballroom! The presidential suite that the bridal party has to get ready the morning of is so spacious and comfortable, and the bridal suite for the couple after the wedding is super cute!! The prices are very reasonable and the menu has so many yummy options to choose from. All of these things make the Event Center truly beautiful, but the BEST part is the wedding coordinator, Danielle. I could go on and on about how amazing Danielle is. She is super friendly, extremely accommodating, and just great to work with! Danielle never shot down any of my crazy ideas (like wanting 30 people at my head table lol) and always tried to figure out a way to make them work. She was honest with us, always quick to respond to emails or phone calls, and she truly cares about what she does. We used to visit Danielle from time to time at the Event Center, and sort of became friends! She is amazing at what she does, and is genuinely a kind and caring person. She really helped create a vision of our wedding that was beautiful and dreamy and everything we could have ever wanted. Unfortunately, due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding, and then ultimately cancel. It was a really tough decision because we had been looking forward to getting married here for so long, but the Danielle and the Marriott were great about everything. If you are thinking about the Event Center Courtyard Marriott, DO IT!! You won't regret it!!!
While I did not use The Event Center for my actual wedding, we did have a large number of guests stay at the hotel and also had a post wedding after party there. Danielle Archambault, the Social Sales Manager at the Event Center, is a godsend. Out of every single vendor I had worked with she was hands down the most reliable, communicative, and accommodating. With wedding planning I honestly thought that choosing the hotel for my wedding block would be easy. Then when the time came I discovered that not a lot of hotels were accommodating. Or I would receive an email from them and then not hear anything back for a few weeks. Once I came across the Event Center and Danielle it was obvious that this was the best choice for my group. Danielle informed me that by booking a certain number of rooms at the hotel I would receive a complimentary shuttle for my guests due to their relationship with Labelle Winery. This perk right there easily saved me over $1k. Ontop of this, Danielle allowed my guests to use an area of the hotel (not the actual Event Center) for a post party hangout. We ended up getting a bunch of Taco Bell (what else could you want at 1AM??) and just unwinding after the nights festivities. We had the opportunity to use their Presidential Suite to get ready in the morning of the wedding, which 10 girls very comfortably fit in for hair and make up. When it came time for my guests to book their rooms, a lot of them were using points or booking through links that were not directly related to my event. Danielle and I sat down one day and went through everyone who had booked rooms during that time period to see which of my wedding guests may not have actually booked through my block code. Like come on, she went WAY above and beyond for that one. ALSO- we had welcome bags made for the guests. We showed up with probably 100 of them, and the staff at the Marriott had no problem handing them out to our guests upon check in. Sorry this review is all over the place. Honestly as I would write something I would remember something else that Danielle and her team did that went above and beyond. I can only imagine how smoothly everything would have gone if I had actually had my wedding here! I will definitely be staying at this hotel and using the event space for any future events I could possibly need, and I highly encourage everyone else to do the same!
We had our wedding here last September and everything was absolutely perfect. Danielle was amazing to work with and pulled everything together beautifully! Highly recommended this venue and Danielle!
Danielle Archambault and the entire staff at The Event Center at Courtyard by Marriott in Nashua were fantastic. Please, do yourself a favor and start here. You won't need to go anywhere else. My wife and I can not say enough nice things about this venue and staff. We also wouldn't be able to come close to offering enough of our gratitude and praise for how every one of them went way over and above to make our day very special. Danielle took on a lot of responsibility that normally would be handled by a separate wedding planner and she helped us coordinate every part of our wedding weekend. With every request we made, Danielle had a way to make it happen and with every concern we had, Danielle had an solution. She knocked every "curve ball" out of the park, like it was nothing. Seriously, this review is real and isn't a puff piece. Trust me, you will be in GREAT hands at The Event Center and The Courtyard Marriott in Nashua. We got married over Columbus Day weekend in 2019 (more than 3 months ago) and our friends and family are STILL talking about what a great time they had. Danielle and the staff had a HUGE part in that success. We could not have done it without them. I would highly suggest this venue, Danielle and the whole staff to anyone without hesitation.
Also, there is a huge bonus to choosing this venue!! You receive Marriott Bonvoy reward points and we used some of them to book a hotel in one of the cities during our honeymoon! Worth it!
We had both our reception and ceremony at the venue. This venue is affordable and includes so many different options! We had our ceremony in the courtyard and it was beautiful. The wedding planner Danielle was absolutely amazing and was always available to meet and help us plan our perfect day. The venue looked gorgeous on the day and Danielle and her assistant Barbra made sure everything went according to plan. I would recommend the Event Center at the Courtyard by Marriott to anybody looking to get married for a great price but with a lot of customizable options!
Danielle was PHENOMENAL! She made my special day even more special! She really exceeded any expectations I had. I was a very picky and difficult bride to work with, who had lots of ideas and out of the box requests. She did an amazing job staying on top of everything. She patiently answered every single question I have every now and then. She was always available and found a solution to every request I had. I had a huge bridal suit and I was able to get ready with my bridesmaids in a stress- free environment. Our ceremony was supposed to be outside but there was an unexpected thunderstorm and she was able to professionally handle everything and prepared a private gorgeous ceremony space for us which we both loved. Both ceremony and reception area were beautiful. I was amazed how everything turned out. She was fantastic in keeping the wedding party organized and making sure everything went smoothly through the night. We received so many compliments. We loved working with her and I recommend her to anyone who wants to have an extraordinary wedding in a heartbeat. We can’t thank you enough.
Danielle is an outstanding wedding coordinator. We have worked with her multiple times during the wedding seasons. She is always available via phone or e-mail and her attention to detail is superb! Working with her is always fun and a pleasant experience, she will make sure everything happens on time as planned and the couple enjoys their wedding day to the fullest!
I would absolutely recommend The Event Center for your wedding/reception. We had both on-site and everything was just perfect. Anna was a joy to work with through the whole process and really listened to what we wanted. Having the bridal suite included in the package just made everything so much easier. The hotel (Courtyard Marriott) is also recently renovated and everyone was so nice. It was great for our guest. If you are looking to get married in Nashua, then check this place out!
If we could rate the Event Center with 10+ stars we would!! Anna and her staff are nothing short of amazing! From our very first meeting to the big day everyone was professional and extremely helpful! From the suites to the outside ceremony to the reception space, everything was perfect! The food was absolutely incredible and the services was spectacular. We will continue to recommend the Event Center to all our family, friends and co-workers. Thank you for making our big day amazing!!!
