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.

Best Day Ever

I cannot recommend this venue enough for anyone planning their wedding! From start to finish, everything about our special day was absolutely perfect. The staff and event manager truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt taken care of throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and dedication made all the difference. Our family and guests were incredibly impressed, not only by the beauty of the venue but also by the professionalism and warmth of the staff. The level of service provided was exceptional—everyone was attentive, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They made sure that all of our needs were met, from the smallest requests to the more significant aspects of the event. The event manager/captain were a superstar, coordinating everything effortlessly and ensuring that the day flowed seamlessly. It felt like we were in the best hands possible, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding. If you're looking for a venue that delivers not only a stunning setting but also a team that genuinely cares about making your day special, this is the place. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we will always cherish the memories they helped create.

Beautiful hotel with easy to work with planning team

Our experience at the JW Marriott was first class. They were incredibly flexible to satisfy all of our requests & were so helpful the weekend of our wedding.

The staff was accommodating to all of our guests visiting for the weekend & checked in to make sure everything was as we liked. The event planning team was very easy to work with & allowed us to tweak the sequence of events, dining, drink packages & service experience on the night of our wedding, which was much appreciated.

Overall, I would recommend the Grand Rapids JW Marriott to anyone looking to get married in the area. Olivia Franklin was our primary contact & we had an amazing experience with her!

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!
