Incredible Staff and Beautiful Venue

My experience with Griffin Gate was wonderful. From the beginning their staff has always been very responsive and able to answer any of my questions. For the kind of venue that this is, I feel like they are fairly priced and they include a lot of incentives. Originally, we were only holding our reception at Griffin Gate, but about a month and a half out from our wedding we asked if we could have our reception there as well due to our church not being able to host the amount of guests that we had due to Covid. Griffin Gate was under fewer restrictions and allowed us to have our entire wedding at their venue. They made this process seamless.
One of my favorite things about the planning process with Griffin Gate is the tasting event that they hold. Their food is absolutely scrumptious and they have out a lot of examples for various reception items. The tasting was very helpful and reenergized me about our planning process.
Due to Covid there were some slight changes, but overall we were able to have the wedding that we wanted. Jenna and Paige were fantastic, and very helpful. Jenna almost always answered my emails very quickly and responded to everything that I touched upon in the emails. She made the last few weeks of planning very smooth, and always kept me in the loop. I would highly recommend this venue!

Incredible Experience

The team at the Griffin Gate worked tirelessly to make sure my husband and I's wedding weekend a huge success! From our first visit with Jenna, through every site meeting with Morgan, we could not have asked for better service. They helped us make our rehearsal dinner at the mansion and our classic brunch wedding the perfect time for us, our family and our friends. I could not recommend another venue more!

Beautiful location

The place was beautiful! And they had serval locations to accommodate guest sizes etc. We couldn't use them because the cost was a little over our budget but I highly recommend!

We had our ceremony on the Bluegrass Pavilion patio and reception in the Bluegrass Pavilion (tent.) Words can not describe how beautiful it was and what a great job the staff at the Marriott did. We had perfect weather and my event coordinator, Leigh Dalton, helped to make a day/night that we will never forget! Our rooms were top notch and so were the guests and they helped coordinate everything we asked from the day before the ceremony through the weekend. I was worried that the tent would look like a tent - but WOW! - we were blown away at home beautiful they made it. There wasn't a thing that went wrong that day. They paid special attention to ALL the fine details and took away all the worry on our ends. We made a weekend of it with friends and played golf the next day! The golf shop and manager, Colin Gooch, was awesome and went out of their way to accommodate our needs and make us feel very special. The Marriott was well priced, compared to a lot of other venue sites, and really worked to help us with the budget we wanted to stay in. Leigh worked tirelessly from start to finish (time we signed with them to day of wedding and after) to ensure our day was magical - and it WAS!!!!! I am truly grateful to everyone at the Griffin Gate for making our wedding day so darn terrific and we will NEVER forget this day/weekend! AMG-S

We got married outside on the Mansion lawn and held our reception on the Mansion patio. Everything was beautiful and well executed, the staff could not be better! Shari was our coordinator and took care of absolutely everything. If you want a relaxing and stress free wedding day, this is your place :)

The staff at the Marriott Griffin Gate were SO great! They were extremely helpful from our first meeting all the way through until after the event was completed. They made every effort to ensure that everything was as we wanted it to be. And there are some GORGEOUS places throughout the property for wedding photos! We couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding ceremony and reception!

Our wedding took place on 05/17 and it couldn't have been more perfect. Leigh Dalton was my wedding coordinator and she was such a joy to work with. She made sure ALL my concerns were taken care of, ALL my questions were answered, and made sure everything was in order before the wedding began. The grounds are beautiful and everyone on the staff is so helpful. The food is delicious! My guests are still talking about how good the steak was. We seriously could not have asked for a better wedding. This place is amazing and I recommend tying the knot here!!! Best of luck planning future brides! :)

I had my ceremony and reception at the Manor, I had a great service. Courtney was the sale manager and Jenna Walker was the organizer. I planned my wedding from Chicago. They made my wedding possible in 4 weeks. They accommodate me and met me on Sunday for planning. All what I heard was yes and possible. They helped me in my wedding in every possible way. The Marriott family took a good are of me. I just relaxed and enjoyed my day. Thank you so much!
