Incredible event staff

We held our wedding in the Sierra room, and it turned out perfectly!! The event staff was incredible - checking in on the bride and groom throughout the night - I never once had to worry about anything. The menu was incredible, and all of the guests kept talking about how good it was! The Sierra room has a stunning nighttime view (the daytime view was also gorgeous!), I highly recommend this wedding venue!!

The entire staff and experience was amazing! You feel SO valued and like a VIP .....everyone from valet to front desk staff to the bartenders were all aware of our wedding party. It speaks to the clear and concise communication from management to the staff! The General Manager even called to check in with me to ensure I was getting all I needed! The sales and catering team saw I was tired and not finished completely with my seating chart and tags and basically insisted on doing it......it was above and beyond. I didn't have to worry about one thing because everyone is so proactive! The Chef even called me sat morning to see how my Friday night room service was! You won't be a small fish at this hotel! Who wants to be at a big convention venue???? They made the grand ballroom gourgous!!!!! Uplighting, linens, center pieces, candles, florals......backdrop for the head table. I had about 50 overnight guest rooms each night also that all went smoothly.
