Newport News Top Venue

If you are looking for the best place to host your event in Newport News, you found it! I am a professional DJ and I work a few weddings and birthday party events here every year and already have some lined up for next year. Before this year is over, I wanted to take the time and share with all review readers how grateful I am for the opportunity to be able to collaborate with such a great venue and the talented team that makes magic happen every time I am there. They communicate well with vendors, everything is always clean and looks amazing, and the layout options are awesome. They surely go above and beyond for their clients to have the best time ever. Go see for yourself, book your event here!

Best staff ever

I planned my wedding in 2 weeks so needless to say I was all over the place changed venues 3 times and ended up here. Amanda was very patient with me and my husband. Also very helpful and thorough. The catering staff and wedding staff was great. If I was to do it again I would choose this place hands down

Magical Wedding Venue

We recently hosted our daughter's wedding with the Marriott and could not have been more pleased. The Rotunda was gorgeous! The staff was professional and followed through on everything that we needed.
Amanda, the catering and event coordinator was exceptional to work with and made the whole experience a joy. Our out of town guests stayed there, as well. It was comfortable and convenient! No detail was over-looked. We highly recommend the Rotunda for a classy beautiful wedding. Newport News City Center is a great location, too!

A Magical Place

From the moment we met Cherrelle and saw the Marriott, I knew this is where I wanted to get married. The Rotunda had an intimate setting with a breathtaking staircase. The ballroom was perfect for our group. The set up was professional and crisp. Cherrelle and her team were always available to answer my questions either via phone or email. They made sure that every detail was documented and executed to perfection. The food was amazing. The buffet met everyone's approval and my guests are still talking about all the flavors and dishes that were prepared. Prince the bartender was outstanding, even my mom got a picture with him. The whole venue was exactly what we wanted -- elegant. They even made up breakfast coupons for our guests so that we could enjoy a buffet in the morning before everyone left to travel home. The Marriott is definitely the perfect place to hold a wedding .... Cherrelle and her team deserve more than 5 stars.

So Worth It

I cannot tell you enough how much we are so happy that we chose this location to have our wedding and our reception. It was worth every dime that we spent because of the level of care and service that this staff put into our wedding. They were so kind and very attentive. We felt like royalty. We have so many good memories to share for a long time.

I love Brianna and her work as the wedding coordinator. I also love the rotunda to officiate weddings. It's beautiful. They have a great package here, with a great coordinator with Brianna. The food is delicious. Over all, this is a great place to have a wedding, small or large. Happy to endorse Brianna's services and the beautiful space at the Marriott at City Center.
