Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel
Elegant occasions. Memorable events.
Excellent service,made my daughter's wedding hit on social media and service was beyond expectation, Sales Manager Dora was very accommodating, Banquet Manager Steve and his team were on top of whatever we needed, even when we needed additional services beyond what he was obliged, he willingly gave us the attention. Hotel Staff were friendly, polite and rooms were very clean with the location a plus, close to all public transportation, which was a major boost for friends who did not want to drive from the Bronx, above all Food was so delicious that almost every single guest emptied their plates.
The Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel blew us away with their hospitality and expertise with our Western/Eastern style wedding. We planned our wedding 1 year in advance, and the SLEH team worked hard all year to make sure our wedding was a priority, no matter how far in advance it was. We had a room block of 35 rooms all filled 4 months before the wedding, which made it ideal for a half destination wedding (bride's side from Canada, groom's side from New York). Scott helped us with any questions we had all year, and we had Steven R. for the month leading up to the wedding.
What I appreciated the most was their willingness to make the Sheraton Hotel a "home base" for the bride's side of the family, all from out of town. They went above and beyond to make sure our guests were well taken care of. As the bride and groom staying in the hotel for the wedding week, the SLEH staff made sure we had all our needs and requests met, which we're super grateful for.
We had a western-style rehearsal dinner for 40 people on the day before the wedding. It was nice to use the ceremony space and go over wedding details with everyone before the big day.
We planned our entire wedding day at the Sheraton. From getting ready in the suites for hair and makeup, to having Chinese door games being played outside of their conference room. We had our tea ceremony in a private room on the 2nd floor, which was nice for our families. We had a gorgeous outdoor western wedding ceremony on the Outdoor Terrace that accommodated up to 250 outdoor seats. Our guests enjoyed drinks and hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour with live music. Our reception in the Phoenix Ballroom was an amazing space to have an "intimate" large wedding. Guests from both sides really enjoyed the Chinese style banquet food and were able to take leftovers home. Some even said it tasted better than the Chinese restaurants, which was nice to hear. Bartenders were able to make custom drinks for our guests and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time.
I've heard mixed reviews about this venue before booking, however we have zero regrets with booking our hybrid Canadian/Chineses/Japanese/American style wedding. I think if couples are willing to put the time into planning their wedding the way they want, especially if they want a Western/Eastern hybrid, the Sheraton is a fantastic choice. We also toured the venue a year before the actual wedding, and all the renovations to the hotel paid off nicely by the time our wedding came around. I also understand there has been changes to the way the Sheraton operates for their weddings, but definitely for the better. My mother-in-law had a negative perception of the venue at first, and to be honest she was kind of skeptical when I told her we booked it, but now that the wedding is over, she absolutely loved how well things went and all the positive feedback she received. Banquet Manager Steve made the world of a difference and knows what he's doing to make sure couples have their needs met, and he goes above and beyond to make your day special. If you book with them, make sure you have lots of time to plan.
