Perfect Day thanks to Sheraton Raleigh Hotel!

We held all of our wedding events at the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel and everyone we worked with us made us feel infinitely special and important. They were available via e-mail anytime and their experience made our planning process a breeze. Even with 4 other weddings going on, they worked tirelessly on our wedding weekend to make sure everything ran smoothly and we felt like the most important people in the room. I'm so glad we hired the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel!

Abshier-Crane wedding

It wasn't easy planning a wedding when the bride is in NC, the groom in Japan, and the parents are in MD and TX, but it still went off without a hitch thanks to the great help of Lauren Dealto and Kayla Rocamora. The wedding was beautiful, food awesome, and service spectacular! Such a beautiful venue and perfect location!

I helped decorate the venue for a niece's wedding. Since I am from out of town, I relied heavily on texts and emails. Lauren was super responsive and took time to answer my many questions. On "the day of", her team went above and beyond in every way - even being willing to run to the store for candles if needed. They were gracious to accommodate me: allowing me to come in early to set up, providing help where needed... even mailing back some things I had forgotten during clean-up. I can't say enough about how easy they made it for me to make this day special for our family.

I reserved a block of rooms for my daughter's wedding last weekend and was so pleased with the Sheraton Raleigh. Maite Vigil handled the wedding block and she provided outstanding customer service! She is kind, professional, prompt in her responses and went above and beyond what was expected. Because we booked at least 40 nights, we were able to get the Governors Suite at a discounted rate. What a treat that was! It's like an apartment with a separate bedroom/bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room and another bathroom. We could have also gotten the Presidential suite, with a larger kitchen but one less bathroom. My daughter had so much space! She stayed in the suite Friday night and her bridesmaids stayed in the connecting double queen room. Because her wedding ceremony was at 11 AM, makeup and hair artists showed up at 6am to set up in the large suite. I woke up the bridesmaids as needed and my daughter was able to sleep in until her time while the rest of us had our makeup done in the dining room. It could not have worked out better. Then she and her husband stayed in the suite Saturday night. The hotel is in a great location and we were able to walk to most attractions. They took care of setting out our gift bags and also had treats of their own for the guests coming in. The rooms have been remodeled and have wood laminate flooring which was appreciated for cleanliness. Room service was quick and the pool was great for the young kids. There were just a couple of downsides. First, was that two of the three elevators were broken and it was about a 20 minute wait. We would have walked, but were on the 15th floor. Second was the 4pm check in process. It was so crowded at the front desk and there was a line to pull into the Salisbury hotel entrance to drop off people. Our rehearsal was at 5pm, so we barely made it. But the downsides were overwhelmed by the amazing customer service, location and friendliness of the staff.

Lauren was terrific to work with. From the time we were considering which venue to go with Lauren was responsive and professional. Very good at follow up and returning calls and email. I would definite recommend Lauren to run anyone’s function. I appreciate how she reached out to all of our vendors to coordinate the wedding day events. The venue itself was very nice. The upstairs area for the cocktail area was warm and inviting. The room we had the event in was also a good choice for us. The food was very good and we had good comments about the food. The only issues I had with the food was that there were no appetizers left except for some cheeses by the time my husband and I got to the reception which was a little after 6:00. The bride and groom also didn’t get any I did ask Joanna and the older gentleman who seemed to be in charge of the wait staff to bring more out. Unfortunately we never got any. The wait staff needed to do a better job of evening out the appetizers and should have made sure the host and hostess got some. They were a lot of young men at the event and apparently they wolfed down the appetizers. Next time they need to watch that especially since some of the appetizers were passed around. Joanna said she would pack some up for me so I at least had a taste. None were packed up. Also the wait staff was too quick to take people’s food away and did not ask to take it away. I was not finished with my salad and they took it away. I was at my seat talking to my niece who was sitting to my right. I went back to finish my salad and it was gone. They also took my dinner plate away too soon. Please have the wait staff ask people if it is okay to take people’s food away. But other than that, everything was outstanding. We heard from a lot of people that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I would definitely recommend your venue for a wedding. Thank you

We used the Sheraton Raleigh to block rooms for our wedding guests, and we are so happy we did! The customer service was great and all our guests really enjoyed their stay and the convenience of having a restaurant/bar right on site. It's a comfortable walking distance from downtown restaurants and other places. Definitely recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
