Excellent service and beautiful venue

My experience was amazing. We had to make some changes due to weather and everyone was accommodating and helpful. The wedding was beautiful and the reception in the terrace room was superb. The food was delicious. I’ve received a lot of compliments on the meal. Everyone who assisted with the wedding was helpful and friendly and accommodating.

We had our wedding at William Tell December 8th in the Atrium Room and it was magical! First of all, Michelle was fantastic to work with. She was so helpful through the whole process and extremely responsive to emails. She answered all of my questions, even the ones I didn't know I had. When it came to my room decor and centerpieces Michelle took care of it all. She did a mixture of my ornaments and vases with the floating candles they provide and the room looked fantastic. It was so great to drop all my stuff off and know she was going to take care of it. The room was also all decorated for Christmas and the fireplace in the middle, the loft, and the wood ceilings were just perfect. There is a beautiful gazebo too that makes great pictures. We took pictures at the end of the night when it started snowing! It couldn't have been more perfect. My wedding day was truly care free because I knew everything was taken care of. When we got there at the beginning of cocktail hour they forgot to put out the vases for the bouquets, but I had my bridesmaid ask one of the coordinators and they took care of it immediately. Instead of a cake we opted for the sweet table and did a small nothing bundt cake for us to cut instead. We got SO many compliments on the appetizers, the food (we did family style), the sweet table, and the late night snack (mac and cheese bar!). My sister had her wedding at this venue two years ago in the ballroom, and it was just as fantastic. The convenience of this venue is worth it all. The banquet hall attached to the hotel with a bar that is open until 2:00am...you can't beat it! For a beautiful banquet hall that won't break the bank, William Tell is the way to go. Stop thinking about it and go see Michelle and book the Atrium room! And then invite me because I want to go to another wedding there!!!

Jill was amazing. She is the reason we chose this venue. She was Very helpful, accommodating and genuinely was excited for us and interested in everything about our day. All of the staff made our wedding run as smoothly as possible. The atrium room was so beautiful and impressed all of our guests. I would definitely recommend William tell to everyone I know. Thank you for making our day so wonderful!!

All the staff were great, NO issues; Michele was particularly wonderful to deal with. The room fit our needs and the food was excellent. It wasn't our first event there, and it won't be our last.

We worked with Michelle, she was absolutely amazing, very prompt, straight forward and kind. She made the planning as easy as it could be and was happy to jump on a call the moment we needed it. Her emails were detailed and didn't leave you questioning what was left to do.

We had the atrium room, it was spacious and grand giving all my guests a place where they were comfortable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
