I had a great Marriott moment a week ago.

I had my son’s wedding reception there and they could not have done a better job. They were absolutely superb ... from beginning to end!

The process of getting the venue, negotiating the contract, planning the event with their event folks, all went beautifully. At the event itself, service was outstanding at all levels--in both delivery and attitude; the place looked beautiful; all our needs were met; our guests were very happy.

The Director of Event Management--Gabor Csaszi—made it his business to be there for the entire time—on a Sunday! In the process, he took care of all our last minute requests (as well as the issues we caused him) with great poise, grace and competence.

The Event Coordinator, Danielle Lawrence was great. She set everything up beautifully from the beginning, handled our requests with an extraordinarily positive attitude and was a pleasure to work with. She also did a great job of coordinating seamlessly with the outside caterer so that the event went wonderfully.

In short, our experience was perfect. I don't know how they could have done better. Incidentally, this was our second such event with them. They were so good the last time that we decided we would only go to them; the peace of mind from knowing we could count on them for a high quality experience was priceless for us.

This hotel would have our highest recommendation.

We had our wedding reception at the Bethesda North Marriott this past June. Trisha, our coordinator, was extremely helpful, responsive, and professional. The food and service during the reception was phenomenal and we received so many compliments.

These guys did an awesome job with our wedding. Special thanks to Jessica Robinson, out event coordinator, for making it all happen! They day went off without a hitch! The hotel was ready for all the guests, the ceremony space and reception room and cocktail hour area look amazing. She put so many special touches into our wedding that helped it be that much more amazing! Jessica was there for us through the whole thing too! She stayed through the end of the party to make sure it all went according to plan. The food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everyone complemented it! They told us that the steaks would be Med-Med Rare and sure enough the almost 100 steaks they prepared were! The fish was delicious, passed hour dervours were delicious. The food was hot when it was supposed to be hot and cold when it was supposed to be cold. The bars were ON IT with their drinks and the staff was super friendly! I couldn't be happier with anything! Jessica reassured me through the whole process and personally made sure that everything was the way it was supposed to be! I don't know how else i could convey how great they were for our special day! I am so happy and pleased and for anyone who wants to have a wedding where you don't have to worry about anything going wrong, this is the place and Jessica is your girl!! Thank you!!

We had our wedding room block for guests and the after party at Bethesda North Marriott. We worked with Shireen and she was absolutely amazing to work with. She continuously kept us up to date with our room block and made sure the transportation was taken care of for our guests. The after-party was a blast at On the Rocks bar & lounge in the hotel. Their outdoor terrace is huge and was able to easily accommodate all of our guests. The rooms and amenities at this hotel are amazing and its definitley one of the best hotels in the Rockville/N Bethesda area. We couldn't be happier with the service at this hotel.

I am a perfectionist, and my event manager Katherine really hit the nail on the head! She didn't skimp on any of my requests and really pleased us with all her service! She was even asking us if we wanted anything to drink!!!! From the design, to the table settings, this Marriott will really make your dream come true- and at a budget! Thank you North Bethesda Marriott Hotel and Conference Center!!

I worked with Randi Jacobs and she made our wedding reception experience incredible. She was incredibly professional and at the same time had a great personality and very thoughtful. Our event went very smoothly and our experience at this venue was very positive.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Bethesda North Conference Center is an amazing venue close to DC but convenient to major roads and metro as well. There are many meeting and ballroom spaces, and the Marriott name says it all. Ask for Olaf and he will take exceptional care of you.

The Bethesda North Marriott is truly a top-notch hotel. They have the capacity to host HUGE parties which is wonderful for Indian, Asian, and other types of weddings that include hundreds of guests. The staff is always on top of their game and the food is really wonderful (really!). It's always a pleasure working with the staff there and I always recommend them to my clients.
