Our wedding took place at the W on Chartres and was a fantastic venue for our Fall wedding. Great value for the money in the French Quarter. Food, drinks, and the space were all top tier. We stayed the weekend at the JW due to room renovations at the W. Staff at both were wonderful: friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

“Awesome” is how my husband and I would describe my daughter’s wedding at the JW Marriott in NOLA on Oct. 13, 2018.
As the Mother if the bride and bridal coordinator, my experience with planning seemed awkward when we had to work with several different people due to promotions or change of jobs. However, it was a blessing that I ended up with a team that made my daughter’s wedding one that would be remembered from a lifetime. The venue, food, handling of beverage service was first class. The staff not only knew intricacies of planning events, but also making everyone (bride, groom, parents and guest) feel welcomed during the entire stay.
Special thanks to Rhonda Murray (event manager), and her staff: Tory Lewis (set-up person), Schawanda Small (Bride/Grooms personal asst.), Shon Prior, Derrick Williams (beverages) & his staff, and our outstanding Chef Ricardo and his staff for the delicious food.
Ann Elise did not fail on her promises as she passed the torch. My Daughter & Son-in Law’s dreams were executed at the JW Marriott NOLA. You will not be disappointed!

We had a last minute difficulty with the venue we primarly chose for our wedding reception but thankfully we were able to find an opening at JW Marriott.. Emily Jensen was great! we loved working with her, very attentive and sweet.
The entire staff was very friendly and very professional our guest loved their stay. The hotel itself is very beautiful newly remodeled with long balconys that over look Canal Street . We hosted a welcoming cocktail hour at Fogo De Chao that Emily helped us put together and everyone loved it!
Shwand was our butler , she was AMAZING! really went above and beyond to make sure we were ok the entire time . She brought over tons of food and drinks while we were waiting to be introduce at the reception , she made us feel confortable and relaxed. Derrick did an amazing job with the Banquet, our guest were very impressed with the presentation and did i mentioned the food was AMAZING! Everyone was talking about how awesome the food was at the reception.
After the reception they sent over Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to our suite that was comped for 2 nights! The suite was so beatiful. They definitely made us feel like Royalty 100%.
We love JW and we will be going back very soon! Thank you so much for making our special day so wonderful !

My wedding reception was beautiful!!! All our friends and family complimented on the food and service, which was OUTSTANDING!! Our bridal attendant (Shawanda) was so amazing!!! My groom and I did not have to ask for a drink the whole night!! The staff was so welcoming and friendly, from the bellman to the bartenders! Also the bi-level suite was breathtaking!!! It was the perfect place to get ready in with all of my bridesmaids!! Everything was so perfect!!!

My parents and I partnered with Michelle Schwall at the JW Marriott New Orleans to coordinate my wedding. My parents fell in love with the exquisite service received during their venue search and polished look of the hotel. My husband and I had an amazing and lovely time working with the entire team at the JW including Michelle around the details of our wedding. Michelle and the sales team were excellent and put all of our concerns, worries and planning panics at ease; they will become your best friends throughout the process. We highly recommend the JW to host any event, especially a wedding. The ballrooms are grand with chandeliers and balconies and the food, service and assistance are fabulous. Go with the JW, you will not regret it.

Emily Sita and the J.W. Marriott were a pleasure to work with. We've recommended them to others.

I found the service at the JW Marriott so personally caring and helpful. It reminded of an hotel that is not part of a chain- more like a personal, caring staff that really cared about our event. Emily Sita, Jim Fein, Michelle Schwall and Chef Carlos and William at the door were the names I remembered for their incredible outstanding service.

Emily Sita and Keith Vincent were so great to work with. Wedding receptions can be very stressful. They made the event stress-free!! Everything was perfect! The staff at the JW Marriott was wonderful and so helpful all weekend!

The only suggestion I have is this....I think the parents of the bride should be allowed to have some of the food from the reception sent to their suite/room as well as the bride and groom. Sitting down to eat at the reception is just not possible!!! There just isn't time. I know we would have appreciated having something in our suite after the reception.

My husband and I were throughly pleased with the JW Marriott in New Orleans from beginning to end for our wedding. We would definitely pick the JW Marriott again if we had a do over.

Greatest experience of my life and greatest night of my life! We recently had our ceremony and reception at the J.W. Marriott. The JW staff exemplified professionalism, personality, and initiative that quite frankly the other locations (sales executives) did not provide. We had been had told, “no,” or “we can’t promise that,” and my favorite, “that’s not included in the package,” throughout the whole process until luckily finding Emily and the J.W. We cannot stress enough how much of an impact Emily had in our decision making process. We got everything we could have asked for. The JW made the entire process through the wedding date itself…easy. I would sometimes email small novels to the staff late at night needing questions answered, etc. and like clockwork we’d get an email back the next morning. We were not expecting to get that level of communication and service, all the while keeping the process easy. It goes to show you that if you have the right people in place, good things happen. We’ve gotten nothing but compliments on the wedding thus far, and I attribute that to what the J.W. was able to provide us. Guests were constantly complimenting us for utilizing the hotel and how nice of a setting it was. The hotel provided us with a block of rooms and there was no penalty if the rooms were not rented. Another item to point out was the helpfulness and courteousness of the staff. It seemed as though every time you turned around someone was asking if they could help. And you cannot beat the location. Our guests enjoyed being able to walk everywhere they wanted. The staff was also very accommodating to helping us with the set up of decorations and coordinating with our vendors for drop offs. The kind of service we were provided was very much appreciated. It was a pleasure having our day at the J.W. Everything was beautiful and I could not I would recommend anyone looking for a venue to pick the J.W.!
