Incredible Experience
During what is almost always a high stress event, working with the Menger Hotel made the experience as stress free as possible. Working with Ms Zarelda Marrero, Director of Catering, and the primary point-of-contact for planning the wedding was a very enjoyable experience. The Menger Hotel was very flexible as plans changed, i.e. needing a larger room for the reception. Having rooms blocked for guests was very easy and we were kept up-to-date with the names of guests who had made reservations. We had a live band and the set-up, etc was transparent to us; The Menger took care of everything. If we had to do it over again and we had our choice of venues for our wedding it would be the Historic Menger Hotel.

Outstanding service
All my experiences at the Menger have been wonderful. My fiancé and I enjoy going there so much we booked our wedding ceremony/reception there. Everyone that works there have always gone above/ beyond in customer service when dealing with them. Highly recommend. Zara ( catering) and Monica (lodging) have made the planning for the wedding a joy. Look forward to a memorable experience for all.
