We made the absolute right choice having our wedding here. Everything was so easy to plan, all of the staff was amazing to work with. Even with unexpected drop ins to look at some of their spaces/tables etc. they dropped everything and found someone to help us. Kathleen, the event coordinator there is the best! She always responded quickly to every call or email. I never felt like I couldn't reach out to her with questions and never felt like I was in the dark on anything. She was so flexible with any requests we had and very helpful when we weren't sure what to do. The best part was being able to drop off our décor and Kathleen and her team setting everything up for us. Everything looked exactly how we envisioned and the entire night went off without a single mishap. They even take care of coordinating with any of your vendors you have coming in, i.e. DJ & photo booth, so we hardly had to lift a finger to figure those parts out. Kathleen was there every step of the process and the day of. I have nothing but good things to say. While you could probably find cheaper options every penny we spend was well worth the result and the excellent service we received. We added on special décor, the highest bridal room package. the bridal room is amazing! huge space, 3 vanities (our make up and hair styles loved it!) racks for dress, breakfast, couches. everything is so cute! The space is also so beautiful!! Highly recommend!

Perfect space, and responsive service
We and our guests stayed at the Marriott West for our wedding, and they were so wonderful to work with from day 1. Sammy was the main contact with my mom, and she was so responsive and able to work with our changing needs. We ended up having guests saying for nearly a week due to travel, and these days all counted towards our block. We were able to have the front desk hand out welcome bags to our guests, and everyone enjoyed their stay. We were able to have private patio space to entertain, and they were very flexible with check-in and -out. Would highly recommend for your hotel block!

Best venue for a wedding of our size!
The Minneapolis Marriott West was the best venue to work with for our wedding day! The staff there, especially Shay and Linda, were incredible and so easy to work with. Their hard work and dedication to making sure that our day went off without a hitch was amazing. The communication that we had with the venue staff prior to our big day was so reassuring in making sure that everything was in order. We could not have asked for a better venue, catering staff, bartending staff, hotel staff, hotel to stay at and host our wedding ceremony and reception.
Great for larger weddings as there are two hotels connected together to accommodate out of town guests we had 270 guests and there was plenty of room for everyone for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner/reception and to stay the night as needed.
Location is great for the Twin Cities area. Plenty of fun places indoors for pictures as well as many local parks only a 5-10 minute drive from the hotel for pictures.
We also felt very special as a couple. They put together our honeymoon suite with late night snacks, desserts and a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
Could not recommend this venue enough!

Perfect, well done
Our wedding was perfect! They did a great job. It was organized and looked so pretty. Planning a wedding from out of town is a struggle and they made it seamless. We will be staying with them when we come back in town.

Kathleen and Staff were AMAZING!
Kathleen was AMAZING work with! She has an incredible attitude, lots of excitement, and soooooo much patience for all our questions. She is top notch! When any and every other venue wants to nickel and dime you… Kathleen went out of her way to make sure requests were part of the deal.
The level of stress that Kathleen and the staff were able to take off our shoulders was heavenly as well, especially during these times of a pandemic. We’ve had to change our plans around a lot, and we still are. It is really tough to imagine celebrating our marriage anywhere else, at least without having Kathleen and the Marriott crew there with us! We’ve said it a thousand times, but thank you so much for all the hard work. Much love!

Wonderful Wedding Reception at Minneapolis Marriott West
The team at Minneapolis Marriott West was so great to work with! They were very flexible with the ever changing environment of trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic. They did such a great job navigating through social distancing requirements along with all of the standard planning and hard work that goes into hosting a special event. In short, we had a wonderful time and would strongly recommend working with this venue.

Absolutely fantastic!
Our wedding affair at the Minneapolis Marriott West was absolutely WONDERFUL!! Starting with the very friendly, extremely professional bridal planner, Kathleen Rodemsky, our wedding was a top notch affair. Kathleen attended to every minute detail, was quickly responsive to all our questions, and worked with all outside vendors so that the photographer, florist, and baker knew exactly what to do when they got to the hotel. She opened up storage areas early so that we could bring our wedding items to the hotel early. She counseled us on where to stand and walk in during the rehearsal for the wedding. She arranged for the delicious food taste testing for our brunch buffet. By the way, the food at the lunch buffet was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. We had maple salmon, red current chicken, pasta primavera, chopped salad, broccolini & baby carrots, fresh fruit, garlic mashed potatoes, and rolls and butter. We heard over and over again how delicious the food was....something that can easily "make or break" the guests' experience. Kathleen arranged for the chocolates and nuts and guest favors to be arranged on each table. She arranged for the bride/groom, and their parents to be whisked away without guests seeing them before the wedding. Finally, she was on the scene to oversee everything during the entire pre-wedding, wedding, and reception (mostly) afterwards. We were SO PLEASED WITH HER and how the whole affair went that we have nothing but good to say about our experience there. The hotel lobby looked beautiful and the room where the wedding and reception took place had a beautiful skylight that the wedding couple stood under as they married. We couldn't recommend this hotel and Kathleen (and staff and chef(s)) any higher -- they were GREAT!!

Outstanding, highly recommended.
We held our wedding reception at the Minneapolis Marriot West, and we cannot recommend it enough. It was perfect, and we were so thrilled with our experience.
Our wedding coordinator was Kathleen, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch -- from the initial planning stages/booking to the big day itself. She made it painless and stress-free -- there were so many things she and the staff took care of behind the scenes. We didn't know what we didn't know, and Kathleen was there to (patiently) guide us. Kathleen was always prompt (extremely quick to respond to emails and phone calls), pleasant and professional.
We never once felt like we were being pressured to upgrade or spend more money, which was a huge relief. We really liked the packages offered by the hotel, and thought the menu was outstanding. There were also lot of perks included that made the day all that more special (especially the complimentary suite!). The Donegal ballroom transformed beautifully into a great reception space.
If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Kathleen, and the staff at the Minneapolis Marriot West for perfection.

Amazing Experience
We cannot say enough about how impressed we were with the Marriott. We had a small booking issue months before the wedding but, leadership did everything possible to make it work for us and it was amazing. The staff was so helpful throughout the entire process. From the front desk to the banquet staff, we had great interactions with everyone. The Marriott staff cleared everything off at the end of the night so our friends and family had nothing to worry about. Kathleen was truly amazing throughout the entire experience. She was incredibly responsive and answered all of our questions throughout the process. Not only that but, her attention to detail was amazing. She was so organized throughout the whole process and the venue was set perfectly. We had the most AMAZING wedding day and we give the Marriott and their staff all the credit. The day could not have been better and we are forever grateful to Kathleen and her staff!

Best venue ever
We initially booked with Marriott West because we had a lot of out of town guests and wanted the flexibility of a hotel near our church.
As we got closer a new coordinator took over and she is SPECTACULAR. Kathleen was so fast to respond to all of my questions, got all of our decor set up beautifully that day, and made us all feel so comfortable and confident that we had nothing to worry about, so the entire night all we had to focus on was celebrating and spending time with our family. The staff is incredibly detail oriented, kind and helpful, and everyone had only amazing things to say about how the night was handled. As a bonus, our food was amazing, and we had rave reviews of every dish.
Overall with the ease of planning, available amenities, and the wonderful staff at Marriott West we had what all of our guests called "the best wedding of all time".
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
How can you go wrong with the name Marriott? Besides that you get to work with Laura!!!! She and the staff there are amazing and the newly remolded ballrooms and lobby are awesome!
The Minneapolis Marriott West is a newly remodeled space that blends function and decor. Linda and Ashley have a wealth of experience creating great events for their clients.
