I cannot thank the Marriott Cincinnati RiverCenter enough for how much they helped with wedding coordination and how beautiful their venue is! We got married in the gazebo in the middle of the hotel, and it was truly breathtaking. I could not have imagined a more beautiful ceremony space. Aryn, who helped coordinate the wedding at the RiverCenter, was extremely responsive and so accommodating. I recommend this venue to everyone! the skylights in the gazebo are just breathtaking! :)

Heather was amazing to work with. Our wedding was exactly how I envisioned. The Marriott handled everything and made the process so simple. They also worked with us to customize the menu. Our guests seemed to really like that the ceremony and reception were at the same place and then all they had to do was go upstairs to their room after the wedding. Would recommend this venue to any of my friends.

The Cincinnati Marriott at Rivercenter was more than we could have asked for or imagined in a venue! It's beautiful architectural structure and prime location in Covington within walking distance of downtown Cincinnati made for an amazing, unforgettable wedding weekend! The hotel staff was very accommodating with our many out of town guests in ensuring they had priority on rooms. We were beyond pleased with our rehearsal dinner in the Riverview Ballroom with a breathtaking view of the Cincinnati Skyline and a whole balcony to ourselves! Our wedding reception was held in the Covington Ballroom which was so inviting, and perfectly beautiful on our wedding day. Not only did the pure beauty of the hotel alone make our wedding weekend perfect, but there is something huge to be said about the remarkable service and staff throughout everything. Heather Paparella of the Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter went above and beyond to create the most perfect event I could imagine, not to mention our dream wedding. She was especially attentive to our wants and needs throughout the whole entire planning process. Her kindness and sincere care for us in making our event beyond perfect was something that could not be missed or compared to. We could not have ever dreamed of an event so special.We weren't the only ones who noticed it either. Throughout the event, our guests were coming up to us left and right expressing how impressed they were with the event. Many people expressed it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding! Our guests were also very impressed with the service throughout dinner, dessert, drinks, etc. She went above and beyond everything we could have ever imagined and working with her was a true pleasure!!!!! I would highly recommend Heather Paparella and the Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter for your wedding or any other social event!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
