Charlotte Marriott City Center is the perfect venue! The renovation done a year+ ago is top notch. Every single guest so was impressed with the hotel and the amazing service.

Food was top notch! And Lisa, our coordinator, made everything perfect. She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. Without a doubt, booking this hotel was one of our best decisions.

The entire Marriott team (Eva, Alanna, Caitlin) were phenomenal to work with in planning our wedding. They were responsive, extraordinarily helpful and made our day special and went off without a hitch. My husband and I would use them again for any future event that we host.

City Center Marriott did a great job from beginning to end! The hotel was our "home base" for our daughter's wedding in April 2017. We hosted a Welcome Reception Friday evening, and a brunch Sunday morning in addition to a block of rooms. All our guests felt comfortable in their rooms, and it is such a convenient location! The food was great, and the staff made everything look beautiful! Special shout-out to our event planner Caitlin who did an amazing job every step of the way, graciously responding to all our emails and requests. We even had our Bachlorette weekend there a few months earlier, and she made that special, too!!

On our Friday arrival, it was a particularly busy afternoon, and the Valet station was non-stop for several hours. Although some of the guests were getting testy and impatient, staff never lost their cool, worked quickly to alleviate back-ups (can't control when people arrive!) and kept smiling. I was very impressed! Would highly recommend this venue.

I reserved a block of rooms for about 50 people for my wedding and everything was so easy. MaryBeth Chandler is amazing to work with and makes everything stress free!

We booked a block of rooms with this Marriott for our guests and they never had any issues and got a very good rate, especially since it was the weekend of the St. Patrick's parade. The hotel is very nice and clean. The best part was that we were upgraded to the presidential sweet and were greeted with a bottle of champagne and strawberries. There was also a card congratulating us. I've never had anything like that happen to me before and it finished the perfect day off with the perfect evening. We were very happy with the hotel

Mary Beth Chandler at the Marriott City Center made our wedding event wonderful and less stressful! The wedding suite was beautiful. The dining room, separate living room, master bathroom and 1 1/2 bath accommodated our 7 bridesmaids getting dressed, hair and makeup artist, 2 photographers, 3 videographers and a large crowd eatting lunch. All the rooms had been remodeled and are gorgeous. Mary Beth went beyond to assist me in getting materials for the guest room bags. Our guests loved the location and that the City Club Reception was directly across the street, and the church was an easy 5 block walk. We give the hotel a 5 star for all staff members were extremely accommodating, friendly and eager to help us in any way.

We used the hotel for guest accommodations and for our room the night of the wedding. Mary Beth Chandler was very responsive from the beginning and always available for any questions. We had a fantastic stay the night of our wedding and so did our guests. We really appreciated all the small touches from the champagne in our room to the chocolate covered strawberries! We highly recommend the Marriott City Center!

Once my daughter became engaged I began my quest for the perfect reception venue. I knew from the first time I walked into the Marriott and met with the catering manager, that we had found exactly what we wanted. The proposal gave us a very clear picture of what the night could be, and we were so excited to move forward with the Marriott.
The private menu tasting was fabulous, and we were delighted to see that the food served at the reception lived up to its promise. We have received several compliments from our guests that the food was phenomenal.
Marybeth was the ideal event coordinator, provided to us by the Marriott. She was always prepared and gave us great guidance as the date approached. We appreciated the kind words of encouragement, even when we thought of yet another “element “that we wanted to add to the reception. She kept us on a great schedule reminding us when to decide on linen and chair rentals, ordering the wedding cake, mapping out the ballroom and seating arrangements etc..
We had exemplary service from the staff at the Charlotte Marriott City Center. Everyone from the Valet service, front desk and catering managers (Mary & Sterling were outstanding!) was extremely accommodating. Given that I had undertaken the creation of the flower centerpieces (60 vases in all) I would never have pulled it off, if not for their professional staff. The event manager and catering managers were very attentive throughout this process, I felt that they were 110% supportive of everything we wanted to accomplish.
Even the outside vendors came to us to express how great the Marriott staff was. We felt that the entire team was fully invested in attaining our vision for the evening.
I would, without hesitation, recommend the Charlotte Marriott City center. Although I’m relieved that the wedding weekend is behind us, I will greatly miss working with the event staff.

Couldn't have picked a better location and venue for our wedding reception. The professionalism and courtesy the Marriott showed was amazing! We were waited on hand and foot and our day went 100% flawlessly. Katrina Forgo was the most amazing coordinator ---- I can't say enough good things about her. She was basically like having our own personal coordinator, so hiring a day of coordinator would have been a complete waste of money, as she handled everything with ease and 5 start service. The food at the Marriott was also amazing and our guests raved about it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We have played this venue several times for wedding receptions. However, one event in particular sticks out to us. During the Charlotte riots we were quite afraid of going to uptown Charlotte, but had a wedding reception that weekend. We were stuck with the decision between letting a client down by cancelling or going into Uptown Charlotte and risking vandalism and even the safety of our band members. Security at the Marriott gave us an entrance plan and exit plan. They reassured us that we and the wedding guests would be safe. Turned out to be an EPIC evening!
