The Hotel at Arundel Preserve

For the planning, we worked with Amber for most of it but she ended up leaving her position and we started working with Gabrielle about a month before the wedding. There was a little bit of confusion due to that, but we got it sorted it quickly. Both Amber and Gabrielle were extremely responsive and very willing to accommodate us for any requests we had. It was very evident that they cared about making sure our reception was what we wanted, instead of just trying to execute it in a generic fashion to meet the minimum requirements once they had our deposit. They were also extremely professional and personable The wedding itself was perfect. Their staff were on point. The decorations were all set up well in advance and looked amazing. The room layout was logical and nothing felt crammed or too empty. The ambience and lighting were spectacular. As far as the food goes, the hors d'oeuvres were delicious, and we had lots of comments saying it was some of the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The entrees themselves were very good as well, but by that time everyone was stuffed. They kept the event moving at a good pace, and nobody was ever waiting too long for their food while others were eating. The wine glasses were never empty for very long, either. We got lots of great comments about the bartender being knowledgeable and skilled at making various kinds of drinks. I didn't get the chance to see for myself, but it sounds like he was a real pro. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our reception venue. There were a few snags with the reservations for the room blocks, but Amber got it straightened up immediately. All the guests loved staying at The Hotel and really appreciated the location and the shuttle service they offer. I can't recommend The Hotel enough.

e royalty the entire night! We didn't have get up to get anything! There are also so many beautiful places to take great photos! (I was a little worried since our wedding was in January that there wouldn't be a lot of places to take nice photos indoors, but don't worry!). There's a beautiful giant fireplace, a balcony with a beautiful backdrop, a room with a wall made entirely of windows, lovely furniture (and if you want to venture outside there's a beautiful fountain/courtyard that serves as a wonderful backdrop as well). This place also took care of everything! They planned the ceremony, reception, their own cake vendor, their own beautiful center pieces, and just overall great spaces that look lovely without having to add to it. Also, the food was phenomenal (and their house wine brands were delicious). Free garage parking for guests and room blocks available for a slightly discounted rate. I would also recommend using their partner Day-of-Coordinator business (it's required to hire one for this location), Carrington Affairs- Capri was absolutely amazing and took care of EVERYTHING. We didn't have to worry about a single thing leading up to it or the day of. Also, Amber at the hotel was fantastic to work with as well and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

from the very beginning of the planning process. She was professional and responsive and handled everything. Once the ceremony was over, she handed us off to Amax, who took care of us throughout the reception. Everyone from Sandy and Amax to the hotel bar staff (especially Luke and Shannon) and individuals who provided transportation to and from the airport were kind and made our experience a dream come true. The location is gorgeous. We received many compliments from guests about the beauty and spaciousness of the rooms and the venue of the wedding. If you're looking for a unique boutique hotel, with everything in one place (we loved this - ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all one one floor) in close proximity to the airport and entertainment for guests, this is the place.

ere so attentive and professional. They went out of their way to make sure that all of our wedding day needs were met. Our guests were very impressed with the venue, service and delicious food and drinks! I couldn't have asked for a better day!!
