JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa

Our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception were at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa, and their Events team was outstanding! They were so helpful throughout every step of the planning process! Our guests really enjoyed staying at the hotel, and the food and drink options were exceptional at each event. They go out of their way to ensure their events are a success! The property is beautiful and truly a special place for weddings and other events!

A++++++. Everything at the JW Marriott was amazing and beyond our expectations. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. 10/10

We had our destination wedding at the JW Marriott in Las Vegas, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had.
My fiancé and I toured multiple venues, but the moment we stepped onto this property, we knew it was different. We absolutely fell in love with the Southern California vibes, the peaceful water features, and the beautiful architecture. It feels like a resort getaway, elegant, warm, and inviting without the chaos of the Strip. That atmosphere was exactly what we wanted for our wedding, which had a high bar set as I have been a bridesmaid in 7 weddings and have attended almost 50 weddings around the world.
What ultimately sealed the deal for us was the staff. The team members we first met didn’t even have to give us a tour or answer all of our questions, yet they went completely out of their way to help us. Their kindness and genuine hospitality stood out immediately and we felt an immediate connection with Christie.
Throughout the planning process, communication was exceptional. We originally invited 120 guests, but our final count was 57. The team handled the changes seamlessly, always providing clear options, guidance, and reassurance. We felt supported the entire time.
Originally, our ceremony was planned for the outdoor gazebo followed by a reception in the Parian Ballroom. However, due to weather, we shifted the ceremony to Suite 6200. Not once was I stressed or worried about the switch. I knew Keri had everything completely under control. The transition was smooth, organized, and beautifully executed. Our guests never felt the disruption, it simply felt intentional and intimate.
The night before the wedding, we hosted our welcome party at Wineaux on property, and it was the perfect kickoff to the weekend. Our guests raved about the location, the food, and the beverages. It created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere for everyone to connect before the big day. We would especially like to thank Angela for putting up with us and helping make the evening so wonderful!
The room block process was also incredibly easy and well organized. Our guests commented on how beautiful and spacious the rooms were, how friendly the staff felt throughout their stay, and how easy the property was to navigate. For a destination wedding, that convenience made a huge difference and we would especially like to thank Mina.
Every single staff member we encountered went out of their way with service and kindness. You can truly feel that hospitality is part of the culture there.
If you’re considering a destination wedding in Las Vegas but want a resort-style experience with incredible service, beautiful scenery, and a team that genuinely cares, the JW Marriott is it. We are beyond grateful we chose them, it was everything we dreamed of and more.

Our wedding day was an absolute dream—truly everything we had hoped for and more—and it was all thanks to the incredible team at the JW Marriott, especially Lauren, Audra, and Jena.

From the moment we arrived for our initial site tour, we knew we were in the right place. Lauren greeted us with warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism that immediately put us at ease. She was thorough in answering all of our questions, genuinely invested in our vision, and made us feel like our wedding truly mattered. Her energy and care played a huge role in our decision to choose JW Marriott as our venue.

Once we began planning, we were paired with Audra—and I cannot emphasize enough what a gift she was throughout the process. Working with her was nothing short of a joy. She’s the perfect blend of organized, professional, responsive, and fun. Audra has an incredible ability to take the pressure off, allowing us to actually enjoy planning, which is no small feat! She quickly became a trusted sounding board, offering thoughtful suggestions and solutions drawn from her wealth of experience. When the big day arrived, I felt completely at ease knowing Audra was behind the scenes, handling every detail flawlessly so I could be fully present and soak in every moment.

Speaking of details—this team’s attention to them is truly something special. They didn’t just meet our needs; they anticipated them. From personalized touches to seamless pivots when the unexpected popped up, they handled everything with grace and care. The ballroom itself was breathtaking—recently renovated and radiating luxury. Paired with the most delicious food (seriously, our guests are still talking about it!), the whole experience felt elevated and unforgettable.

Meanwhile, Jena worked tirelessly behind the scenes to coordinate our room block. She was responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond—even fielding last-minute requests just before our arrival. Thanks to her, our guests had a smooth and stress-free experience, and we received so many compliments about the beautiful rooms and surprisingly reasonable rates.

Beyond the celebration itself, the JW Marriott property was absolutely stunning. From the elegant amenities to the thoughtful touches throughout the hotel, everything contributed to an unforgettable weekend—not just for us, but for all of our guests.

If you’re looking for a venue that offers not only a beautiful setting, but a truly exceptional team that cares deeply about your day, look no further. Choosing the JW Marriott—and getting to work with people like Lauren, Audra, and Jena—was one of the best decisions we made. They didn’t just help us plan a wedding—they helped us create an experience we’ll treasure forever.

From Lauren to Keri to Jena to Emma, the team took care of us. They answered all of our questions and attended to our concerns. The food was amazing and the ambience was great! Thank you

The JW Marriott was a beautiful venue and had professional, responsive staff. We were very well taken care of in the planning and on the day.

We were sold on the venue because the JW had an option for a morning brunch wedding, which saved us some money and worked better for us as morning people. As the less contested time, this also gave us access to the Garden Gazebo for the ceremony and the Cascade Room for the reception. These are beautiful locations and could accommodate many more than the 65 people we ended up having. It was also a major plus that we could do everything there, from the rehearsal dinner (Hawthorne Grill was a great option for us, but there are others), to the ceremony, to the reception, while we and our many out-of-town guests could stay on the property. (We're both local, but we're both transplants whose families must come from out of town).

"All-inclusive" weddings are a bit of a misnomer, as they don't include outside vendors like photographers, florists, etc. That said, we got quite a lot for our money, including some outside vendors that may be additional costs at other venues. The venue cost included:
* The ceremony and reception
* Use of the bridal suite the day before and day of the ceremony (with an option for another day earlier, which we probably should have taken)
* The food at the reception, which was excellent (cost also includes a tasting a few months before) - we went with the buffet option
* Open bar - there are upgrades, but the base is pretty solid
* A day-of coordinator - this person is assigned by the venue to coordinate the outside vendors. The JW made a truly inspired decision on ours - she was wonderful
* The cake - note this isn't always covered in all-inclusives
* The DJ - see above
* A standard dance floor - Probably enough for 100 people, upgrades available for larger parties
* Quite a few other things, which they are very open and transparent about

The JW provides a pre-approved vendor list of outside vendors that they have worked with before, which is a tremendous help as you try to narrow down the universe of Las Vegas wedding photographers to eight or so. You can go outside of this list if you want - we didn't.

Audra Bishop was our venue coordinator, helping us with all the planning pertaining to the venue itself and coordinating the JW staff related to it. She was very responsive, professional, and helpful, and if you end up with her, she will take good care of you. We had general ideas for the wedding, but no strong ones, and she helped guide us through the myriad options available. When our guest list ended up coming well short of what we anticipated, she worked to find options to meet our food and beverage minimum (the cost is already agreed upon - we just ended up with some food upgrades to meet it). This of course wasn't ideal, but we ended up with an agreeable solution.

The day before the wedding, it became apparent that a windstorm would blow in sometime that Saturday. It seemed likely that we could get the ceremony in (and the florist could get the gazebo decorations down) before it hit, but you never know for sure. Audra took us to the alternate location to let us see it. The forecast held and we got to use our primary location, but we would have been OK had the weather forced the alternate location.

The Garden Gazebo is a beautiful venue. It is out on the grass in the middle of the property. It does more or less require draperies and flowers (our florist handled both), as some guests would be staring through at the onsite Starbucks otherwise. It does, however, lend itself very well to ceremonies up to 150 guests or so. It is next to the pool, and the JW does make an effort to try to prioritize the wedding by turning down the pool music. As the morning wedding, we were way ahead of the pool crowd, so this didn't affect us.

The cocktail hour was held outside this room, and it is in direct sunlight. This may be an issue if your guests aren't used to Vegas' heat and dry air, as even in late spring, it's easy to overheat. There apparently was a miscommunication somewhere, as we were told people could hang inside if they needed, but some guests mentioned they couldn't.

The reception was held in the Cascade Room, which is just around the corner. The Cascade room is incredibly spacious and elegant. It includes an overhead light fixture that can be set to many different colors. It has a few alcoves that need decorations to work for weddings, but it's pretty close in its base configuration. It's designed for 150-200 people, but we didn't feel swallowed by the space even with only 60. Their service staff and bartenders were outstanding - we got to avoid the typical wedding mistake of not eating, as they brought everything to us, kept our drinks topped up, and overall ensured we were taken care of. Our guests reported much the same.

Note that, if you do what we did and chose the morning timeslot, your reception has a hard cutoff time so that they can turn the venue around the the evening wedding. This wasn't an issue for us - they are very transparent about this before you commit to that timeslot.

Overall, we were super happy with our experience at the JW Marriott Las Vegas. They were very helpful and transparent during the planning, they provide many options within a helpful structure to couples that don't have strong visions, and they are flexible. Their experience and professionalism is apparent in every aspect of the process. It was the beautiful, all-in-one venue we were looking for, and it helped provide the elegant, intimate, and fun celebration we wanted. Thank you, Audra, Richard, and everyone that helped us along the way.

Jack and I had such a beautiful wedding. The JW Marriott did a wonderful job coordinating everything including the fine details.

The property is beautiful and our photos showcased the property. Highly recommend for future couples!

Picking the JW Marriott as our venue was the first and best decision we made for our wedding. The venue is absolutely. beautiful. They took care of everything for us and made the planning so easy. Audra was our event manager and did a fantastic job and made everything so smooth for us. She was very responsive and detailed throughout the whole process.

Our day was perfect. They had everything set up exactly how we wanted and planned. All the staff was on top of everything, made sure we got our food first, dinner and dessert, and always had a drink in our hand. We had the best time and completely stress free.

Everything was well thought out and JW had all the necessities on hand. Communication was easy and the coordinators reassured me that everything was going to be fine when dealing with anxiety. The wedding went smoothly without a hitch! Everyone had a great time and would definitely recommend others to host their wedding at JW.

Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect! We didn’t feel any stress and we were able to enjoy the entire day/night knowing that the team at JW had everything taken care of. Literally not one thing went wrong! The food was beyond fantastic. All of our guests kept raving about how amazing everything tasted and they also mentioned that it was the best service ever. I had a few specific table settings requests and they were able to accommodate that as well. Everything looked beautiful and everything was clean. The specific lighting that we asked for in The Cascade Room was the perfect color. Our day of coordinator, Kailey Songster, was the best. I had a lot of DIY decor, and she was able to execute everything even better than I had imagined. She even added a few special touches that looked so beautiful. She was always super sweet and was always able to get everyone in line without ever breaking a sweat. She made everything super smooth and seamless.
Our catering event manager, Kelsey Moilanen, was truly everything you want in a planner and more! She was always super responsive, whether it was through email or on the phone, and always made any requests happen. We asked for certain specialty cocktails with different garnishes and she made it easily happen. Not only that, she is just a genuine, thoughtful, and kind person. We had a few kids in our wedding, so we decided to have a specific kids table. I let Kelsey know that the kids aren’t picky so the wedding food was fine for them. To our surprise, the kids were accommodated with kids meals and even cute glow sticks! She was sympathetic to an unfortunate situation that occurred a few days before our wedding day, and I’ll truly never forget that. Kelsey, you’re an angel!
Thank you to the JW Marriott team for our dream wedding!
