Ivelisse was our wedding planner and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. She made this entire experience incredible from the get go and made everything PERFECT!! This venue is so spectacular I would not have wanted our day to go any other way or be held ANYWHERE else!

If you’re thinking of Aruba for your destination wedding have it here. Melanie, our coordinator, was hands down the best. She made everything so seamless and spent countless meetings with me virtually to make sure my expectations were met. My vision for our wedding was classic and timeless and that is exactly what Melanie helped me achieve. Everything went as expected and it was my perfect dream wedding.

The resort itself was phenomenal. The rooms are newly renovated, staff were so friendly, and the service was top tier. The resort is clean, they have two pools, and it’s right on the beach if you prefer that. The food at the pool bar and lobby bar was delicious. There was nothing I ate on site that was bad. They have gelato, a Starbucks, a Ruth’s Chris (where we had our rehearsal dinner) and Mercat restaurant on site as well. Mercat had a great brunch buffet that was also really good. They have a nice patio out front where we had our welcome party the night before and cocktail hour on wedding day.

I couldn’t recommend this place more. We’re already planning our next trip back for our anniversary! Thank you Melanie and the Stellaris team for making my wedding a memorable one.

From the moment we began planning our destination wedding, we knew we needed someone who could bring our vision to life with precision and grace. Enter Melanie Ruiz, our dedicated wedding planner at the Aruba Marriott and Stellaris Casino. Melanie's unwavering commitment to our dream weekend made every moment truly magical. Melanie's attentiveness was evident from our first conversation. She took the time to understand our inspirations and preferences, ensuring every detail reflected our vision. Her flexibility was remarkable; even when we made last-minute changes, she handled them with poise and efficiency, always keeping us informed and at ease. Her grace under pressure was a testament to her professionalism and passion for creating unforgettable experiences. The wedding setup was nothing short of breathtaking. The beachfront ceremony featured a fully draped four-pole arch adorned with chandeliers and floral arrangements, creating a romantic and elegant atmosphere. The cocktail hour featured appetizers that people are STILL taking about. The reception continued this theme, with exquisite decor that left our guests in awe. Every element was thoughtfully curated, reflecting our personalities and love story.

To kick off the weekend, we hosted a welcome party at Mercat Patio that set the tone for the festivities ahead. Melanie coordinated a vibrant and elegant event that welcomed our guests with warmth and style. The atmosphere was lively, the food delectable, and the setting picturesque—an unforgettable start to our wedding celebration.

Thanks to Melanie's meticulous planning and the stunning backdrop of the Aruba Marriott Stellaris, our wedding weekend was flawless. From the welcome party to the ceremony and reception, every moment was executed to perfection. We are forever grateful for Melanie's expertise and dedication in making our dream wedding a reality.

We are so happy with how everything turned out from our venue. The setting is just gorgeous. From the front desk to the gentlemen running the palapas, every member of the staff couldn’t have been happier for us. We did a welcome party, ceremony and reception on site for 50. Jessika was our event planner. For the planning process, come prepared with your vision and she executes. It’s ok if parts of that vision change in the process, she helps you adjust and fine-tune. She understood my taste and made suggestions which I really appreciated. She helped me manage the balance of what was available from vendors on island to what I was bringing down myself. I struggled with color palette planning from afar, and she was very helpful in helping me craft my tablescape. If you want the fine details attended to at your wedding, be a highly detailed person during the planning process - that combination with myself and Jessika was the magic. Our florist WOWED. Food was great. Bartenders were great. Thank you Jessika and Aruba Marriott! My cup runneth over.

We recently had our dream beach wedding at the Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino in Aruba, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the stunning oceanfront setting to the top-notch service, everything was absolutely perfect.

A huge shoutout to Ivelisse Simon, our incredible wedding planner! From day one, she was a joy to work with—so sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making our vision come to life. Planning a destination wedding mostly virtually could have been stressful, but Ivelisse made the entire process seamless. She listened to every detail, offered great suggestions, and ensured that our special night was nothing short of magical. The setup, the ambiance, and the overall experience were beyond what we could have imagined.

The Marriott Resort itself is breathtaking. The beach views are stunning, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the entire atmosphere is exactly what you’d want for a romantic, tropical wedding. We highly recommend this resort to anyone considering a destination wedding—or just a luxurious getaway in Aruba. Thank you, Marriott Aruba, and especially Ivelisse, for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

Everything from we chose the Aruba Marriott Stellaris as our venue was absolutely amazing. We started with Abigail and was assigned Melanie Ruiz, who was Superb. She attended to all our needs, everything was what we anticipated our wedding day to be.

I do not know where to start. From beginning ti plan the wedding to actually having the wedding at the Marriott, Juliane and her team were AMAZING!!! I couldn’t ask for anything more perfect! Any inspiration pictures I showed with decor and small details, they nailed! The wedding was so enjoyable and stress free! I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here!

I remember my first time coming to Aruba and seeing a wedding at the Marriott and just knowing that is where I wanted to get married. It became a dream of mine in my late teens. My family owns timeshares at the Marriott Surf Club so I knew, if I wanted to get married in Aruba, the Marriott would be the perfect spot. Additionally, I wanted to get married at the Marriott because it is honestly perfect! It is gorgeous and there are so many amenities close by. After booking at the Marriott, we got paired with Jessika. I am a COVID bride so I worked with Jessika for over two years. Jessika became one of my friends, she is like family and I adore her. She is kind and hardworking. She tried so hard to keep everything within our budget. She listened to our concerns, our wants and our must haves. I am extremely detail organized and Jessika did everything she could to meet my vision. She rose to the challenge of my expectations and the wedding superseded my expectations. I am having a hard time putting into words how much Jessika did for us because honestly, my words do not do her justice. I couldn’t imagine planning with anyone else. Jessika and I had so many zoom meetings to make everything perfect. Jessika organized the day by making sure we had the best room, with the best getting ready drinks I have ever tasted in my life! She was there for us throughout getting ready, our first looks (which were perfect- before the first look we literally cried excited tears together- we were that close), and the ceremony. The ceremony was perfect and Jessika made sure our ceremony included all of our little requests (including ceremony shots via a shotski!) My husband and I decided to rent the adult pool and I really recommend it. The pool setting was gorgeous and much more private and intimate. The way everything came out was gorgeous! The setting and decor took my breath away! Jessika helped us hire the perfect vendors to create the most special day of our lives. I cannot thank Jessika and the Marriott enough for the best wedding ever. Every one of the guests loved it and we loved it! I am so sad it is over because it was the most perfect week thanks to Jessika but I know we will be back at the Marriott soon enough. If you are reading this and considering booking with the Marriott, you will not regret it and I hope you are lucky enough to get Jessika as a wedding planner. Because if you do, you have the best wedding planner a couple could ask for.

Our wedding here was absolutely perfect. I can't thank Jessika enough for all of her support throughout the planning process and especially the day of our wedding. Everything I asked for she made happen and I am very grateful to her and her team.

The hotel itself is the nicest I have ever stayed in and all of our guests were equally as impressed. Everyone who worked there seemed to really enjoy it and they were all so positive and helpful, it really made the experience.

We choose Aruba for our destination wedding as it is one of our favorite places and after speaking with a few other vendors, selected the Aruba Marriott as it fit all of our needs and I am so glad we did. All of the vendors that were recommended were amazing. The meal was one of the best I have had in Aruba, the flowers were exactly what I wanted and I had brought a few items like sunglasses, place cards, name cards etc. which they were able to put all together exactly as I had envisioned.

The majority of our guests stayed additional days and it was the experience of a lifetime to have not only such a perfect wedding day but a perfect week with our closest family and friends.

Thank you!

My wife Alex and I had the pleasure of getting married at the Aruba Marriott. We had visited the property twice prior, and felt like it was the perfect place to have a safe and fun wedding, and we are so glad we picked this Marriott. We were paired with Jessika from the Marriott team for our wedding planning, and she helped us create a really special experience for us and our guests. We had a welcome party, a beach party, our ceremony, reception, and brunch ALL on the property, each event in a different picturesque location.

The fact that we could have every event outdoors, and show different parts of the property, meant our guests never had to deal with shuttles or departures, and instead could just enjoy each other's company.

We also worked with the vendors provided by Marriott, each of whom ended up being top notch. Shout outs to DJ Ruuben and Viktor the photographer! We are so happy with how everything turned out, and we definitely plan on returning regularly to spend more time at this hotel. The property is gorgeous, the pool is nice, the ocean is steps away, and the food at each of the restaurants is great too.

Thanks Marriott!
