She was able to see us two days later, to show us our options. I’ve contacted Lisa Mcmachen at Marriot about three weeks into my search. Everything was available, but it would cost extra So, after paying a couple of thousand dollars to reserve a venue, I would still have to meet caterers (in some cases pay extra fees if they are not on the preferred vendor list), cake vendors, figure out what I need to rent, pay liquor fees (and deposits), taxes, gratitude fees….The wedding was getting to be more expensive by a minute. Many thanks to Joy and all the staff! Read MoreĪnd every single one of them wanted to charge us a ridiculous amount of money just for the venue itself! Most of the time there would be nothing included: no tables, food, bar, decorations….etc. I would highly recommend a wedding or event here. The Marriott was convenient for our many out-of-town guests, providing shuttle service from the airport. The staff went above and beyond by coordinating the wedding down to the details, such as having the deck re-stained and making sure the patio planters were in bloom.

The pavilion is predominantly white, and the lake sparkled in the sun just beyond the deck-the reception had a light and airy California feel. (At our tasting, we discussed entree options with their chef who was very willing to please.) The patio was lovely in May, and guests walked a few steps to the reception held in the pavilion. Guests also commented on the terrific food. Our package included two hospitality suites for the entire weekend, several extra rooms, bridal suite for the wedding couple, cake cutting and serving, a plated dinner and more. The entire staff was professional and accommodating, and we loved the ease of the venue.
