Betsy, Seth, and Essaid at the Sheraton made us feel like welcomed family and guests for our big wedding weekend. From being flexible with our room block needs to executing a rain day plan for our cocktail reception, the day went off without any major hitches. They were also particularly fun and sweet when handling our crowd of merry wedding guests (with a big appetite for the open bar)! Our guests loved the location, everyone was able to explore our beloved Old Town throughout the weekend, and we were able to relax (a little) knowing they didn't need our full attention all the time. We thought we could not afford the wedding of our dreams, in a place we love, until we found the Sheraton Suites in Old Town.
Oh! And we are STILL getting compliments on our delicious reception dinner-- the food and drink was exceptional!

We were thrilled with how our wedding reception turned out at the Sheraton Suites. One of the main reasons we chose that venue was the good vibe we got from the Catering and Sales Manager, Jenni. She was so responsive, friendly, and easy to work with, from our initial consultation all the way through our wedding day. She graciously responded to numerous questions from a detail-oriented bride; she went above and beyond to accommodate several special requests; and we really appreciated that she was there to oversee everything on the big day. We were also very impressed with the food, and it was evident that the chef took pride in his work. He personally presented everything to us during our tasting, and even came out during the reception to check if everything was OK. The cake promotion with Alexandria Pasty was also a nice bonus. We thought the room block rate was very reasonable and the accommodations were very nice. Overall, the Sheraton Suites was the perfect choice for our wedding, and we highly recommend it.

Jenni is so wonderful! She worked to make our day just what we had imagined. We had a small wedding, but the team managed to make the space look full. The banquet hall space transformed beautifully. We got married in the courtyard and it was spotless!

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding! My wedding was "picture perfect". The Sheraton Suites, specifically Mallory and Seth, were amazing!!!!! The Sheraton Suites provides a beautiful wedding experience, delicious food, great service, and more! Best part is that all this can be provided within a reasonable budget! Mallory goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding is one of a kind and will make sure anything can be done so that there is no stress on the bride and groom. I highly recommend the Sheraton Suites Alexandria and of course, Mallory! I haven't stopped thinking about my dream wedding and I wish we could do it all over again!

My husband and I wanted a reception in the Old Town Alexandria area. Since we had about 90% of our guest coming from out of town, we also wanted everything to be very convenient. So we started to look at holding our reception at a hotel in Old Town. The Sheraton Suites Old Town was the first vendor we met with about a year before the wedding. We met with Mallory and from the moment we walked out of our first meeting we knew that this was the place! Of course we looked at all of the other hotels in the area, but we kept going back to the Sheraton. Why? Several reasons but the main reason was Mallory. She made us feel so comfortable from the first meeting. She was so accommodating with our requests, and when I emailed her I had a response back within 10 min. We worked with Mallory for the full year leading up to our special day, and we could not have been more pleased with her. She was professional, accommodating, timely in her response and overall just absolutely amazing to work with. Most of our guest stayed at the Sheraton for a long weekend, and all had very positive responses. Some of our guest flight were cancelled so they needed to stay a additional night, and the hotel honored the wedding rate for the rooms. Nice touch considering they were not obligated to do that. I could not recommend the Sheraton Suites Old Town more! We were so pleased with our whole experience with them. My husband and I look forward to returning for our year anniversary. Thanks for the wonderful experience Sheraton! You outdid yourself.

Mallory and her team of professionals made my dream wedding day come true. Everything was set up exactly as I wanted and there was never a step along the way that I felt like the venue was inattentive or unresponsive. I would absolutely recommend the Sheraton Old Town as the perfect venue for a small affair. Good price, great staff, exemplary service!

All of the services were absolutely wonderful! We were in a time of need when we lost our first venue and we are so glad because things really do happen for a reason!!!! My husband and I couldn't have asked for anything more as it was so perfect! I can simply go on and on :) I wish I could have that day all over again! Thank you so much Sheraton Suites!

The team here at the Sheraton Suites was absolutely PHENOMINAL. They made our big day such a breeze. Everything we needed done, they took care of. I still have friends and family telling me that it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

On top of the amazing team, I found them to be EXTREMELY affordable. They offer so much for a great price. You pay one price for everything they offer and there are no hidden fees. You can also customize anything to make it exactly the way ypu want so you aren't paying for anything you dont want. Not to mention that it all comes with a wedding coordinator!

I absolutely reccomend having your wedding here. Its a beautiful venue with an amazing team. It's the complete package and really reduces the stress that comes with planning the big day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have shot at the Sheraton Suites in Old Town on several occasions, and they are always fantastic to work with. I especially like the brick courtyard and the proximity to so many beautiful portrait opportunities in Old Town Alexandria. Their staff is friendly and professional. I am looking forward to shooting there again soon.
