The Historic John Marshall Ballrooms

able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at this venue and everything flowed effortlessly. Our guests were all very pleased with the venue and the staff service. I would highly recommend the plated meal, it was very smooth and COVID friendly for all guests in attendance. Amy and the staff were excellent and you will love working with them for your event! (Also, the food is A+)

y and she was very responsive, organized and quick to answer emails! The wedding day there were a few hiccups with our checkout time of the JM's guest suite, where my bridesmaids and I were getting ready...but overall, it was a great experience & we are very happy we chose JMB! :)

ng our wedding day come together. Amy in particular played a huge role in making sure the day went as smoothly as possible. She answered every email we sent her, and she did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly during the entire wedding day. The food catered by Homemades by Suzanne was delicious, especially their chicken mushroom wellington and the mac and cheese bar. The John Marshall is an amazing place to get married, and we couldn't recommend it more highly!

to anyone and everyone!

tenders. The venue was beautiful, and the food was amazing.

the best advice. Jaime, who stood guard during the wedding, made sure everything happened on time and exactly how it was suppose to. The staff was wonderful, gracious, professional and eager to please. Probably, my favorite feature, at no added cost, was the bride's room. It's a beautiful room with two work stations which we used for hair and makeup. We started our day at 9:00 with soft music, food and beverages. Friends came and went. My daughter remained very relaxed all day as did everyone. The John Marshall met our expectations.

have them on board, in short Amy Loving should receive a pat on the back for making my Daughter's wedding, a time that all of our families and friends will never forget. Tim Vest

oomsmen prep before the ceremony and babysitting during the reception. Homemades by Suzanne is the manager and caterer for the venue, and the owner Suzanne Wolstenholm and her catering manager Amy Loving were there and made sure every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious, we had many guests tell us this was the best reception dinner they had ever been to. Amy was available by email or phone for our many questions when planning and booking the event. The venue is lovely and historic. There are many options to select to help make things fit your budget. We were very happy we chose a venue that included linens, tableware, glasses, everything in the base price. They worked well with all the vendors. The staff is very professional and all so very nice. I have been back to lunch at the John Marshall several times since then, and can verify the quality of the food and the friendly professional staff are still excellent. The cost may seem expensive at first, but when you consider all the things that are included in your base price, and you know you will receive the highest quality service, it is really a bargain!

e space. The day of the wedding we were told everything would be set up the night before so we could decorate but it wasn't! when we tried to contact Amy, she was anything but helpful nor was she the rest of the night. She had made promises that weren't kept! The cocktail hour and servers were wonderful! The food by homemades by Suzanne was OUTSTANDING! It was served on time and hot! Other than the run ins we had with Amy it was great! I would just say, bring in your own planner because everything else was wonderful!

ere always organized and on top of it all. Thanks so much for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

inator was Amy and she was always getting back to me within a day or two either phone calls or emails. She set all my DIY decor up and coordinated with the vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. The day of everything went very smoothly. The bartenders, servers, and kitchen staff were so friendly and professional!

all or Virginia Ballroom, or even the Lobby areas. Your guests will feel privileged to dine and dance there, and you can even utilize it for your wedding ceremony if you desire. Using a venue that provided all linens, tables, chairs, food drinks, setup, staff, and other general catering was a huge benefit! FOOD/DRINK: Simply put- everything was amazing! Their menu list is extensive, and Suzanne and her team are extremely flexible with the setup and distribution of all food displays. They even offer a premium liquors SERVICE: You can't beat Suzanne's team! I worked with Amy, and she did everything and more that I could have possibly asked. She was even proactive enough to provide solutions to potential pitfalls that I hadn't thought of, and made sure to contact all vendors well in advance of setup. She took care of everything for me- literally, everything- from the setup of all tables with floral pieces and party favors, to coordinating with our DJ for our wedding introductions, to the layout of bubble dispensers for our exit line. Multiple guests came up to rave about their positive experiences with the staff, which was nothing short of phenomenal throughout the night. They even helped consolidate gifts and items that needed to be sent home, and wrote a nice note to me after the service, helping me with any borrowed pieces from other vendors that needed to be returned. OVERALL: After such an incredible reception experience (and photos), and phenomenal food and service, the John Marshall proves to be a unique and glamorous venue! I highly, highly recommend them for any beautiful and unforgettable occasion!!

had been through the line. Not enough time was given between the staff serving the cake and clearing the table. Many guest were not able to eat their cake before the plates were taken.

rations and clean up a lot easier than I had feared. I was a little disappointed in the bar. My new husband enjoys beer and the beer and wine selections were very limited (only two wines and three beers). The staff was all very professional, but I was a little disappointed to see a tip jar out for the bartenders. I felt that for the amount per person that we paid, that my guests shouldn't be asked to provide tips. The food was good and we chose cheesecake from Suzanne's and it turned out to be tasty and beautiful.
