We had our reception at the Marriott November 2015 and it was amazing! The staff was so nice and accommodating! They shuttled us to the church as well which was so great! The flow of the reception space was great (we had 3 stations: a roast, sliders, and flat bread) and we had a block of rooms for guests as well! I think my favorite thing we had were the crab cakes! So good! Jodi was my sales and event manager and she was wonderful! She really helped me with all the details of the reception and kept me on track with planning.

My husband and I had our reception at the Dayton Marriott. We were very impressed from day one with the level of customization and amount of time that the events staff invested in helping us plan out our details. We ended up with quite a few last minute changes as well as guest accommodations and the Marriott delivered on every single one. The food was very good - many of our guests were very complimentary. The service was great - my husband and I missed our cocktail hour so the staff had appetizers and drinks waiting for us at the head table. The set up was lovely and we were even able to bring in a friend to play their piano during the cocktail hour. The Marriott assembled our centerpieces for us and they looked perfect. We we able to transform the patio area into a cigar lounge for our after party. When it started raining, we went into Gambits, the bar inside the front of the hotel, and people continued to have fun. Seriously, we paid a little more than we had originally budgeted, but it was so worth it! We had an awesome time and so did our guests.

Great place but they are pretty unbending with their "rules". Other than that, they were great.
