Seamless and stunning!

Hosting our wedding at JW Starr Pass was perhaps one of the easiest choices we made. The staff were incredibly helpful and our wedding coordinator, Eli was AMAZING! She made sure every detail was taken care of and that the whole process was smooth and simple. We had an amazing time and loved not having to worry how guests would get home after the ceremony. Oh and the day at the pool after the wedding was the perfect ending to the weekend!!

We cannot say enough AMAZING things about The JW Marriott Starr Pass for our August 30th wedding. It was incredible - start to finish. The entire staff was accommodating, friendly, responsive, and their execution was impeccable. My wedding planner, Heidi was on her A game the entire planning phase and the weekend of - she never stopped amazing me. If you would like to host a wedding in the Tucson area - The JW Marriott is the place to do it. The food, cocktails, amenities, grounds, and overall service exceeded our (already high) expectations. Thank you TUSSP for making our experience a truly magical one.

From our initial meeting to every single detail... JW Starr Pass Resort & Spa is first class in professionalism and details. Our wedding guests, our out of town family, and the Groom and I felt like Royalty everytime we walked in...

This resort is incredible. The rooms are spacious, well stocked, and comfortable. The amenities, which include a full spa facility, a conference center, multiple pools, a lazy river, a 27-hole golf course, multiple restaurants, and more, are absolutely amazing. The staff was very helpful, and the location is just close enough to downtown Tucson while still being on the edge of the wilderness. The room rates we got for our block were about 50% off the normal rate. The only trouble we had was in the planning process, our group services agent wasn't very responsive, but the management helped to fill in when needed and things worked out just fine.

This is one of the most beautiful venues I have ever seen and the desert background is to die for. They have an amazing team of event coordinators and chefs that made the day so easy. They have the highest level of customer service and my guests loved it there as much as I did if not more!

I have mixed emotions about the Marriott Starpass. My husband and I used points for our stay, so that value alone was amazing. The location itself is beautiful. However, I had a lot of frustration in the planning process; there were several occasions where my contact took a month or more to respond to emails. Any time I tried to work with someone else, I was referred back to the same person. Because of the delay in dialogue I frequently had to remind that person of everything I was trying to put together, even though it was all on the email chain!
I love Marriotts and the quality of service they provide, but the events department at the Starpass is close to sub-par by Marriott standards.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
