Amazing Wedding Venue with the Best Events Coordinator

Rachel and the entire staff at the Kimpton Marlowe were amazing to work with! Rachel in particular made the experience so easy; we truly could not imagine having to do this process without her thoughtfulness and organization. She is incredibly responsive to emails of any length. The months leading up to our wedding were less stressful because we knew she would handle the day of and vendor coordination seamlessly. She was amazing day of with an eye to details to make sure that both my husband and I were well fed and taken care of.

The package as a whole was an amazing deal as we only needed to get a handful of other vendors. The quality for the price cannot be beat! The ceremony space in the park was perfect - beautiful outdoor space with shade so you and your guests don't melt in the sun.

The other great review has been from my guests. We continue to hear about how much they loved details of the guest experience to make sure it was fun and easy for them as well and 9 times out of the 10 the compliment should go to Rachel and the team at the Marlowe.

It's always inspiring to work at Hotel Marlowe - the planners are consummate professionals and have provided clients with seamless experiences at every wedding I've covered there. Plus the place has great style and is in an awesome location, with city views and green space on the banks of the Charles for portraits.
