University of Notre Dame

Our reception at the Morris Inn was perfect. It is SUCH a beautiful place. It's just spectacular. I'll never forget the feeling of walking into the Smith Ballroom for the first time and seeing everything set up. It was breathtaking. The staff and coordinator at the Morris Inn are fantastic! Very professional, organized and easy to communicate with. Also, the food was AMAZING! I had several people tell me that they'd never been to a wedding where everything they ate was delicious! I highly recommend the Morris Inn as a reception venue! It's top-notch!

This is probably my hardest review to write...the Morris Inn post-renovation is a beautiful location. But we had a wonderful wedding IN SPITE of, not BECAUSE OF the Morris Inn. Simply put, they have a captive audience. There are hundreds of ND weddings every year, and hundreds more that wished they could have gotten the date. There are SO MANY things about Notre Dame that are very well run. But the Morris Inn isn't one of them. I had been in touch with the events group prior to even securing my wedding date, so we had ample communication, but nevertheless, the following issues ensued: 1) after asking for contract updates, we were provided with a blank contract template instead. 2) we weren't informed until 5 months before the wedding (over a year after first contact) that certain menu options are only available to certain packages. There were no designations on any menu sheets before then. 3) despite signing a contract stating we would have 3 menu choices, they tried to tell us that we could only have 2. 4) less than a month before the wedding, my husband's night-before room was canceled because the booking department thought it was a duplicate (same name as his dad). 5) night of the wedding, the top TWO layers of our cake were not cut, despite us saying to cut everything (tiny slices given to all of our guests). 6) I was looking forward to the Jameson glazed salmon with colcannon for my meal...but they put PEAS in the colcannon! Not there when we sampled! And the bread rolls were spicy. Trying too hard to be "fancy" when they should just stick with basics.

I am so happy that we chose the Morris Inn as the venue for our wedding brunch reception. The whole staff really was there to make our day the best it could possibly be from the waiters to the bell hop (Patrick made our weekend seamless by working constantly behind the scenes). The food was delicious, the space is intrinsically beautiful, and the whole day was exceedingly elegant. My only complaint is with the event planner we were set up with, Mary Anne. I found her very difficult to get in contact with (writing multiple emails for a response) and it never felt like I could grab her attention which made planning from afar a little frustrating. Regardless of those small bumps along the way, the whole experience was absolutely wonderful ,and I would highly recommend working with Morris Inn for your wedding day.

I visited Notre Dame several times and had lunch at the Morris Inn, the place is beautiful and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. There was a doorman there named Matt who remembered me when I came back the following week and so very friendly. The rooms are so beautiful and have great amenities.

Excellent service cannot be stressed. The hotel staff was so amazingly helpful and friendly. 80% of our wedding traveled in the for event and we probably had guests in about 40 rooms in the hotel. Everyone came back to us with positive reviews and things to say. The hotel itself is gorgeous. Everything is very clean. They have 2 great restaurants downstairs that we visited - and loved both. Everyone from the valets to the reception staff to the cleaning crews were so incredibly kind and helpful. I am so glad we chose to host our guests at this hotel. I can't recommend them enough. They helped make our perfect weekend that much more perfect.
