Incredible Wedding Experience

The UNC Charlotte Marriott Hotel hosted our wedding ceremony and reception recently, and they were absolutely phenomenal to work with! We booked the venue without seeing it, and with the help of Danielle Massey, our dream wedding came to life. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel has a multipurpose room that we had broken out in to two rooms for our reception and a backup ceremony space. They also have multiple smaller rooms, and an outside patio that is perfect for a ceremony or any event. The process of planning a wedding was very overwhelming for us, but Danielle and her team helped us through every step of the way, and provided direction up to and including on the wedding day. The front desk staff were very welcoming to us and our guests, and the facilities were great. Having the Golden Owl available for dining, and being located so close to the light rail, restaurants, and stores made it significantly easier for out of town guests. Overall, we had an incredible experience, and would without a doubt choose this venue again if we were to re-do our wedding. It was a great experience, and made for a wonderful night for us and our guests!

I DO recommend this venue!

We planned our wedding on a 3 month timeline, and thanks to Laura Russell at UNC Marriott, we were able to pull it off!

We didn’t have a wedding coordinator, so Laura was able to step in and keep us on track for everything. This experience was so much better than I could have imagined, and our guests had so much fun! I cannot thank Laura and her team enough for all that they did to make our day perfect and complete. From coordinating with our vendors, to making sure everything went as planned and on time, it took the stress out of the whole day!

The thoughtful extras like having champagne sent up to our Bridal Suite (which is incredible, btw!) to making sure all of our things were carefully collected and ready for us when we checked out, really made me appreciate their professionalism more.

I would definitely recommend this location as a venue for your special day!

Great Experience, great value!

My wife and I decided with little notice to get married this year and we reached out to the Marriott and we connected with Laura. Laura was so accommodating, extremely helpful for our wants and needs, our blind spots for things we didn’t think about, and keeping everything on track! She worked with our vendors and got everything aligned for what turned out to be an amazing experience all around!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
