I had my reception in ballroom 2,3 & 4. I loved the fact that the hotel took care of the table cloths and chair cover as well as catering. The special events coordinator was super ...

sweet and very quick to respond to calls or emails. The food is excellent. We had a sit down dinner with herb chicken or salmon with Caesar salads. There was also a large cheese/cracker display out for guests until the ballroom doors opened. The only issues I encountered were: if the ballrooms aren't rented the night prior to your event they allow you to set up the night before. They told mall of the tables, tablecloths, chair cover, and round centerpiece mirrors would be set up and ready by 8pm on that Friday.

Excellent site for our wedding and reception. However, we had an extremely difficult time reaching our event coordinator as the date of our wedding approached. We had to call the...

catering director in order to make our payments and schedule meetings as our coordinator wouldn't return emails or phone calls. In the end, the day of the wedding ran smoothly and guests loved the upscale site.
