The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center

my special day the absolute best

to wedding was less than 4 months. Even with such a short time, they helped with every detail to make sure it turned out perfect! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for. I would highly recommend!

ring, Lauren Walker) was beyond helpful and delight to work with. Lauren went above and beyond helping us decide our menu, timeline, placement of everything in the Crystal Ballroom, coordination with all vendors, morning-after breakfast in the Pocahontas Room, and so many more details. She was extremely responsive to all of our (many!) questions and was a sense of calm throughout the often stressful planning process. I really can't say enough about how great Lauren and the whole experience was. Our reception went off without a hitch and was everything we had hoped for, and more! I highly recommend Hotel Roanoke as a wedding venue! We look forward to spending our first anniversary there :)

easily and there was a wide array of locations in the hotel where we could have unique experiences. The food for our rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, reception and brunch were amazing! I can't say enough about the entire experience. I would definitely recommend having your wedding at the hotel, especially if you want convenience and ease on your special day!

s, and assisting with planning details. The "tasting" for the chosen menu was such fun and the Chef and Catering Director had some great ideas for our Southern theme. The food was well presented and delicious. Many guests stayed at the Hotel and enjoyed the proximity to the downtown market area. All in all, a wonderful experience!

n Walker and her team at the Hotel Roanoke made sure our wedding reception went as smoothly as possible. Lauren helped to draw out the timeline, room layout, menu, coordinate with our vendors and all the details in between. Our day was perfect, the hotel was gorgeous and it is a day we will never forget! Thanks again to the Hotel Roanoke for being part of our big day!

, especially Lauren Walker our event coordinator, is great and very attentive. The Garden Courtyard was a beautiful area for the wedding and the Crystal Ballroom can't be beat for a reception! Anyone planning a wedding and/or reception in the Roanoke area should definitely look at the Hotel Roanoke!

nd history. It is a beautiful and elegant hotel with lovely architecture and relaxing Southern grace. We stayed there from Thursday night to Monday morning; our wedding reception was on Saturday evening in the Shenandoah Ballroom. The entire staff couldn't have been more accommodating from the front desk, the wait staff to housekeeping. They were all so very helpful. Our hotel wedding coordinator, Peggy Wright, was wonderful and saved the day at the last minute when I forgot an entire table of guests. She and her staff rearranged the room and contacted the florist and no one knew of my mistake. It was a flawless event! The Executive Chef, Stephen DeMarco and his staff outdid themselves at our reception. We choose the "stations" concept so it was like having tapas. This was perfect for our guests. Everyone mingled and couldn't say enough about the presentation and variety of wonderful choices. We had Flambé of Steak Diane and Seared Faroe Island Salmon for our main entrées and they were both delicious. We had a risotto bar; mediterranean balsamic grilled and roasted vegetables station; Tomato Tortellini Martinis and my husband had to have the Classic Caesar Salad station too. There was so much more... Everything I had that night was perfect! I was very impressed. We had 80 guests. My sister Ann treated the entire wedding party to a brunch the next morning. The food and ambiance were outstanding. My husband still wishes we could return for those eggs. How to make eggs for 65 people and be warm and delicious, now that is talent! There are so many more details that made the entire event a wonderful experience. Our guests loved the hotel. The Bartender, Lyndsey, at The Pine Room was an expert at her craft and was a delight herself, she made the Sunday after party a hit with my relatives that flew over from Ireland, Montana, Utah and us from San Francisco. I look forward to returning and spending a weekend just relaxing at this grand landmark and beautiful hotel. Did I mention we planned this wedding from California and it all came together so nicely? A very wonderful weekend to begin our new lives together.

ial day. Along with getting a free tasting, we also got a free night at this amazing historic hotel AND a complimentary room rental for future visits (going back for our anniversary). All the guests commented on how elegant and beautiful the venue was. The Crystal Ballroom (where our reception was held) was set perfectly and the room itself is just gorgeous!

out. I know that they've done this a million times before, and that definitely means they've got everything in order. It was fantastic and I'd highly recommend Hotel Roanoke for reception venue.
