She was very professional, organized and quick to respond. She was very thorough and made sure to document everything so she knew exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, Ashlee made sure everything was running smoothly. She helped coordinate with our vendors and made sure that everything was done according to plan. When issues came up with a couple of our vendors, she quickly handled them and most importantly made sure that we did not get stressed out. We selected a stations menu so all the food was made to order for each guest. Our guests loved having so many options. It was by far the best food I have ever had at a wedding! It was even better than the tasting. After the wedding, many of our guests commented about how delicious the food was and how beautiful and elegant the venue was. Thank you Ashlee and Megan for helping make our wedding day perfect!

Ashlee was incredible to work with and really took care of every single one of our needs. We were both overwhelmed by the care that every member of the staff put in to making... Read More our special day incredible. Maria, the Banquet Manager, handled everything that came up impeccably. The space is obviously incredible. It has been well taken care of and updated, so you get the historic feeling with every modern amenity. The food was fantastic, and the portions are huge. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was; the steaks were cooked perfectly (and were huge!) and the chicken was not dried out. The food during our cocktail hour was perfect, and everyone was talking about how much they loved having a late night snack. We were concerned as a same-sex couple, but were greeted by nothing but professionalism and excitement for us. I only wish we had another excuse to have a party here! We had a perfect evening and would not hesitate to send any of our friends to the Crowne Plaza for their wedding.

It is not cheap but it was SO WORTH every penny spent. The staff from front desk to wait staff were always helpful when needed. I owe a lot of my sanity during wedding planning AND the day of especially to Ashlee and Megan, the wedding coordinators, who were tremendously helpful and made me feel like I was the only bride they were working with (when we all know that is not the case since they book up over a year in advance)! I am not kidding when I say they made sure every detail went perfect, and if there were ones that didn't (which I don't think there were), they made sure I didn't know about it!

I wish all you future brides as great a wedding day as I had :)
