The best wedding experience!

The JW made our dreams come to life for our wedding. Olivia Franklin was our event manager and she was nothing short of amazing. She gave us the ability to customize our wedding to exactly what our vision was. The chefs made sure all of our guests were satisfied from cocktail hour all the way to late night snacks. They went above and beyond to make sure every single guest was comfortable. I could not imagine having our wedding at any other venue, it was simply perfect.

I highly recommend JW Marriott Grand Rapids! Not only did they provided us with a breathtaking venue but our guests were very much impressed with the service they provided. Food was excellent, drinks were great, the rooms were spacious! The staff was just awesome catering to our needs especially our event coordinator Analou Schoonmaker, she made sure that every detail was taken care of. JW Marriott certainly made our day an event to remember not only for us but all of our guests.

This venue has such a special place in my heart because we designed their very first wedding on October 12, 2007 just one month after opening. Since that time we have had the distinct honor of designing several unbelievable events. The entire staff is amazing and they make us feel like family the minute we walk through the door. I love the entire group at the JW! Thanks guys for featuring Alishan Fields wedding in your portfolio...what an honor!
