We loved the UMUC Marriott Inn and Conference Center. Our reception was everything that we expected and more. The staff, service and accomodations were beyond our expectations. Dara McBee and Sara Wise are outstanding representatives of the Marriott experience!

The College Park Marriott was the perfect place to hold our wedding reception. From the moment of contact, the staff was friendly and helpful, particularly our event manager, Leyla. Leyla met with us a dozen times in the months leading up to the wedding, was responsive and attentive to all of our concerns and requests and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. Her experience, knowledge and expertise in event planning allowed us, the bride and groom, to truly enjoy the wedding day. The food at the reception was delicious and we held our cocktail hour in the art gallery in the hotel, which our guests really enjoyed. We would highly recommend this venue and cannot speak highly enough of Leyla Lugjonic.

The dream experience

Emily and Carly were the dream team! So attentive and friendly. They made every moment so easy from first contact to days after the wedding. Couldn't have asked for a better team to celebrate the weekend with us.

We brought our dog and the hotel staff were the most accommodating! We checked in a few days prior to our wedding so we ended up needing 3 rooms over the course of the week. They surprise upgraded us to the largest rooms on the days outside of our wedding so that our dog had more space. She was also given a bed to use during the stay and take home after since she loved it so much.

The venue was gorgeous, clean at all times, and quiet so that we could be well rested before the wedding. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the the food we selected for the day of the wedding was well-prepared.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
