We used the Mystic Marriott Hotel and Spa for our Garba/Sangeet event and for our room block for our guests. The venue itself was beautiful, with new finishings and large ballrooms. Our guests commented on how beautiful the hotel was and they all loved their rooms. The space is great to host any event and accommodate your guests to stay. We worked with Hakyung as our Wedding Coordinator at the Hotel, and while our event went smoothly, our experience working with her throughout the process was variable. Overall, would recommend the hotel as a stunning wedding venue with every amenity available and a great place to stay for guests!

We used Mystic Marriott for our room block for our September 2021 wedding. Diana, Jennifer, and the entire team there was excellent throughout the planning process. We had started off with a smaller block size, but it quickly filled up. Diana and Jennifer were very responsive and were able to extend our block to add more rooms - twice, when we realized we would need even more rooms. They were also very helpful throughout the planning process and graciously answered my MANY questions. They also helped my parents plan a wonderful day-after brunch. The staff was very helpful throughout our wedding weekend - they put up signs to direct our guests where to go and handed out the welcome bags to everyone. The rooms were beautiful - the guys actually got ready in one of the hotel suites. It made for a great "getting ready" space and looked good in the pictures too! I would definitely recommend the Mystic Marriott. We and our guests enjoyed their stay, and the staff was wonderful to work with.

My husband and I were considering getting married in the Boston area, where we currently live, or in my hometown area of Stonington / Mystic. We met with Amanda and quickly knew this was the venue for us. She made us feel special from the start and her expertise in event planning came through right away. She was full of knowledge, gave us plenty of time and attention, and most importantly, was so much fun to spend time with. I’m so sad I won’t get to spend time planning with Amanda anymore. I miss her already!


We had a fairly large wedding of over 200 guests so the Mystic ballroom was a perfect space for the reception. Our vision for the wedding was to have everyone fit comfortably in a beautiful room with a big dance floor and a live band. We couldn’t have been happier with how things turned out; the dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a blast. We used the lobby space just outside the ballroom for the bar space, cocktail tables, photo tables, a dessert table, etc. It was great to have this overflow space so guest could move in and out easily between the spaces.


The bar was an important element to us. We had several “favorite cocktails” featured on signs we had made and we loved that Amanda accommodated various types of glassware for each drink, from martini glasses to copper mugs. She even incorporated our favorite blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis without batting an eye. It made everything feel extra special.


We lucked out with good weather and held our cocktail hour outside on the patio off the side of the Marriott. The patio was transformed into such a beautiful space, between the bars, signage, and a huge cheese, bruschetta, and antipasto display. There were string lights overhead across the patio which was a nice touch as it got darker in the evening.


Amanda and the staff at the Marriott exceeded our expectations and alleviated the stress associated wedding planning. My husband and I both have busy schedules and we often travel for work, so juggling our schedules with planning a wedding should have been harder than it was. Amanda was extremely helpful, from helping us customize a timeline, pick the food, decide on the layout, accommodate drink preferences (we had many!), coordinate with vendors, set the lighting, and so much more. She made the experience feel so special and tailored to us. I truly don’t think we would have had the same experience at many of the other venues we looked at.


Also, our tasting appointment was amazing and completely exceeded our expectations. The chef is so talented. We had such a fun time trying everything while enjoying a bottle of champagne. Our friends and family have been raving about the food ever since! Favorite dish: pan seared Stonington scallops over mushroom risotto, brussels sprouts, apples, and bacon crumble. Many guests weren’t from New England so it was nice to incorporate local ingredients.


We highly recommend the Mystic Marriott for a wedding – we wouldn’t change a thing. It was such a memorable year leading up to the wedding and we made great memories during our meetings at the Marriott with Amanda. The day itself was worth all of the time and effort and we will never forget it!
