Excellent Service

We originally went with another hotel for our wedding block. After a year of having it booked, the hotel blindsided us telling us they were closing down during our wedding month, just a few months before the wedding. We contacted Marriott Park Ridge and they were so quick to answer us and luckily had availability. Their rooms are very nice and the service is even better from the event staff. We had a breakfast the next morning which was very nice in a big beautiful room. I would highly recommend. Special thanks to Melissa Mazzella and Sylvia Casafranca who I worked with directly.

Best Choice I made

From the moment I met Frank Fedorko to discuss my wedding he was full of helpful information and was able to accommodate my budget. He was my Sales and Event Manager. He was timely in answering my emails and any question I had. Cara who did my room block was out standing. Gave me updated rooming list when I request them. The Ballroom was renovated last year and stunning. Dino my Banquets manager had everything running so smoothly. People are still raving about my cocktail hour food and my dinner. Even my vendors; my band "Bill's Toupee", Alex with Little Green Truck (video) and Dan Lugden (Photo) stated they loved the food. From the front desk handing out my gift boxes to the event to the moment I checked out everything was perfect and seamless. I highly recommend the Park Ridge Marriott. It was nice to have my event at the Park Ridge Marriott and have my guest stay at the same location. I did not have to worry about guest drinking and driving and after the wedding reception they could hang out in Sean O'Casey's with Johnson the bartender who my family loved.

Easiest Ever

Kori was very responsive & patient answering my a million & one questions. Setting up my hotel block was quick & she explained all that I needed to know. This was one of the first tasks I was able to accomplish after getting engaged & knowing my wedding night eve & wedding night were taken care of basically right away without hassle was a comfort!

We had the ceremony & reception at the Marriott and also a block of 15+ rooms. The staff was amazing, accommodating, and 100% of the time responsive to our needs. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and all of our guests had a wonderful time. Our family now has great memories of our daughter's wedding and we can't thank everyone for their giving 110% effort. Thank you Park Ridge Marriott staff!

Your staff at the Marriott is truly amazing and helped my wedding day go perfectly! Danielle was amazing from the first email all the way to the day of the event. I chose this venue for the wedding because Danielle was able to work with my budget rather than just sending me away like other venues. She answered countless emails and made sure every detail was covered for set up for the big day! Everyone from Nick to Peter to Sabina were offering to help me all day long. Even the next morning, I saw Sabina in the lobby and he was still checking in on me to see if I needed anything! Nick troubleshooted the cupcake stand not being sturdy enough and also helped fix my flimsy wedding arch by adding bags of sand to hold it down! The wait staff kept offering my husband and I food and drinks all night to make sure we were always comfortable. The ceremony space and card table and program tables were amazing. I had decorated the card table the night before but it was crowded so Sabina added two little tables next to it and made it look so beautiful! Nick even arranged the bubbles containers into a heart shape. What a personal touch! Everyone there is just so amazing. I will definitely be recommending everyone I know to host an event here.

We had SUCH a great wedding at the Park Ridge Marriott. From our first visit about 10 months before the wedding date, we loved the space and our event planner, Danielle. She was one of the reasons we chose to have our wedding there. All of the packages presented to us were great and we were able to choose one within our price range and add extras as appropriate for us.

Throughout the planning process, Danielle and the Marriott staff were excellent. All of my questions were answered quickly and accurately. We had a menu tasting that was delicious and informative. I was a little embarrassed to show up with a list of questions about the wedding day but the staff took them all on with ease. I was able to bring my decorations to the hotel a few days ahead of time and they graciously stored it for me until my event. They set everything up perfectly and the room looked beautiful. They even moved around a couple of things better than I had planned out. The reception ran smoothly and we had a great day.

Not only was the event staff great but everyone at the hotel was. My parents were in town for about a week total and were raving every day about how accommodating the entire staff was. They were willing to go above and beyond to help us with anything we needed and truly made us feel special even though there were other events going on in the days before and after my wedding.

If I could do it all over again, I would choose the Park Ridge Marriott every time. Our wedding day was amazing and a lot of it was because of their excellent service.

I began planning my wedding with the Marriott at Park Ridge this time one year ago. It has now been a few weeks since my wedding day has passed, and I could not be happier with our entire weekend- it really was perfect in every aspect from start to finish! The whole staff at the Park Ridge Marriott made the process and wedding weekend as stress free as possible and super successful. From my first meeting with the Senior Catering Manager at the time, and the Chef at the time, to the morning after during checkout, the process was seamless. They worked with my strict budget to create a menu that all of my guests are still complimenting us on today. They were able to maneuver our tastes and complement our “foodie” style to create a beautiful selection of cocktail hour foods, plated dinner, bar, and unique dessert. They really hit a homerun on our catering menu for the night!

My first meeting with our Marriott wedding planner was exciting. Maria heard every idea, captured every style, and understood my at times vague requests. I left a lot to her expertise and imagination, as I was pretty flexible with some things, and am pleased I did. She was very attentive to my requests for table layouts, photos of previous events, and other special requests for day of planning. Maria was able to answer every question during our tasting visit, and took us to see the suite, ballroom, and helped us determine chair, lighting, and layout selection. Her advice and insight were invaluable and really added a world of a difference to the night of.

The Park Ridge Marriott team made our special weekend one for the record, and we will remember this team and our experience for the rest of our lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
