Mark Sent on 02/09/2026The Kimpton Hotal Monaco Philadelphia is amazing!
We could not be happier that we chose the Hotel Monaco as our home base for our daughter Maeve and son‑in‑law Thomas’s wedding weekend (November 27-30, 2025). From the very beginning, Talia and the team made us feel welcome, answering every question with patience and professionalism throughout the entire year of planning.
When we checked into the Bridal Suite on Thanksgiving, the staff went above and beyond. The door team helped us unload three fully packed SUVs, and the bell staff — especially Dilbert — made sure everything was brought to the suite quickly and carefully. Every room and suite was perfect, and the front desk team was warm and attentive each time we returned.
Throughout the weekend, the service remained exceptional. The staff handled every last‑minute request on the wedding day with kindness and efficiency, from ice for coolers to small but important in‑suite details. Checkout on Sunday was just as smooth, thanks in large part to Anthony, who was a tremendous help with our departure logistics.
We also loved having the Red Owl Tavern and Stratus right on site — both offered great settings and excellent service for our guests.
Our family and friends shared the same glowing feedback about their stay. We enthusiastically recommend the Hotel Monaco and its incredible team. They helped make our wedding weekend seamless, joyful, and unforgettable, and we would gladly serve as a reference for them. -

M. Lewis Sent on 11/14/2025Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia - Wedding Dream Team
My wife and I recently had our wedding at the Hotel Monaco in Philadelphia and could not be happier with how everything turned out! The team went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring we had the wedding of our dreams. From the time we found Hotel Monaco during our venue search at the wedding expo to the moment my wife and I said "I do" on our wedding day, the Kimpton experience has been second to none. I would like to extend my gratitude to all the staff who helped with the ceremony and reception, as well as the individuals behind the scenes who made it all come together perfectly. Each department/team, ranging from billing/accounting, wedding planning, room blocks, catering, etc. did an exceptional job and should be highlighted. I wish I could name everyone we came in contact with who ensured all our needs were met, but the characters limit would exceed this post. Big shout-outs to Desiree Sklar, Katie Killman, Breanna Rolleand, and Bernardo for being there with us every step of the way. I truly consider them the Wedding Dream Team of Hotel Monaco! My wife and I can not say thank you enough for making our special night one to remember. -

The hotel Monaco is something to marvel. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my son's wedding went smoothly and I couldn't be more grateful- the staff is a group of professionals who care deeply about what they do and it definitely showed. I am terribly proud of the staff and the 1st class service we received. Thank you, Des, Katie, Bernardo, Derrick, Erin, Khambo, Khalique, Gurgis, Jim. 100% top notch !!! -

Jared Sent on 09/11/2025Best Day and Venue!!!
We had our wedding at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in March 2025, and it was such a beautiful and memorable day. The venue itself is stunning, and our guests were wowed by the unique atmosphere and gorgeous rooms. It was truly the perfect setting for such an important celebration.
From the very beginning of planning—especially as an out-of-town couple—the staff was patient, helpful, and responsive. On the big day, they were present and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. Their support allowed us to relax and really enjoy the moment, which is all you can hope for on your wedding day.
Like with any large event, there were a few hiccups, but what stood out most was how caring and professional the team was throughout. Their dedication made us feel supported and taken care of, and that made all the difference.
Overall, we are so grateful to the Hotel Monaco team for giving us an unforgettable wedding experience, and we would absolutely recommend it as a venue. -

Dana Sent on 09/04/2025The Best Day at the Monaco!
We had the absolute wedding of our dreams at Hotel Monaco Philadelphia in July 2025. From start to finish, everything was seamless, elegant, and so memorable. Not only is the Monaco in the best location in Philly, but the venue itself is beautifully unique.
Our ceremony took place in the stunning Lafayette Ballroom, which was the perfect backdrop for our vows, with the sun coming in through the windows. Guests then moved to the Stratus Rooftop for cocktail hour, and it could not have been more magical — the city views, the ambiance, and the service made it unforgettable. Afterward, we returned to the Lafayette Ballroom for our reception with 135 guests, and it was everything we hoped for and more: beautiful, intimate, and full of energy.
What really stood out was the team at Hotel Monaco. Our planner, Katie, was amazing to work with. She guided us through the process, making the planning much easier and ensuring the day flowed flawlessly. On the wedding day itself, Bernardo went above and beyond to make sure our food and drinks were perfect and that every guest was taken care of. Their professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness made such a difference.
We were even able to keep Red Owl Tavern open a little later for an after party, which was the perfect way to cap off the celebration. Our guests are still raving about the food, drinks, and the overall atmosphere.
We cannot recommend Hotel Monaco enough for a wedding. It’s a truly stunning venue with an incredible staff that made us feel celebrated and cared for every step of the way. We’ll cherish this day forever! -

Gabrielle Sent on 06/17/2025Hotel Monaco/Stratus Lounge Wedding
Our experience at Hotel Monaco was exceptional. From the moment we met Katie Killman she helped to deliver our dream day. She was in communication with all of our vendors and made sure everything was seamless. We did not have to worry about one thing on our wedding day. She was extremely professional and was always 10 steps ahead. The entire staff was wonderful and accommodating. We had multiple guests tell us that this was the best wedding they've ever been to and we could not agree more! -

Kristen Sent on 05/06/2025The best day ever
We just had our derby-themed wedding at hotel Monaco with our cocktail hour/ watching the derby at the stratus lounge. Words cannot describe how wonderful everything went. Desiree went above and beyond, always making us feel special and was attentive to our needs. We asked a million questions.
The hotel only hosts one wedding per day so we were happy to get into the ballroom really for set up. We even set up a first look early at the lounge. And shoutout to chef Charles! We had a special derby themed wedding cocktail hour and desserts! Everyone raved over the pimento cheese, southern biscuits and gravy, and pecan derby dessert pies.
The suite was big enough for hair and make up. The hotel had special treats all lined up for our dog Snacks!
Thank you for helping our day run so smoothly. It’s always hectic, but everything worked out! -

Andi Sent on 12/20/2024Fun City Wedding of My Dreams
I wanted to have a fun-filled city wedding and the Kimpton Hotel Monaco brought all the best vibes!
I took my venue tour with Desiree and from the very beginning she brought high energy. She showed everything the venue had to offer and described what our day would look like! She has great vision while keeping our preferences at the foresight. At every step of the planning process, she was able to break down my options and guide me to what would be best for what my vision was. Desiree was also my day-of coordinator, and she was so professional. She kept my timeline tight while also finding me time with my new husband away from the crowd. She made sure that I got time to enjoy our food choices, even set us up with our own charcuterie board during cocktail hour so that we were able to have some instead of missing anything due to the busy timeline. She was also so supportive of our guests. My FIL had a blood sugar drop right before our ceremony, and he raves about how caring Desiree was in helping him!
The Hotel facilities were amazing for our special day. I was set up in the presidential suite as the bridal suite, and this room was amazing. Space for all my bridesmaids to relax and hair and make up professionals had plenty of space! The natural light from the window made for amazing morning selfies, and my view of independence hall and the mall was crazy!
We had our ceremony in Stratus Lounge and the club seating made it feel so intimate and not like hundreds of people were staring at you. It honestly felt like only a few people close to us until out officiant had us look our over the crowd. The architecture added an old-school city rooftop vibe, and my guests LOVED the angel wings. Everyone was taking pictures in front of them during cocktail hour.
The reception space was so nice. The soft purple walls felt very elegant! The space was easily customizable to our needs. They had all the options for size of tables, types of tables, etc. I loved that we had two bar set-ups so there was never a line at the bar! The food they served at the reception was to-die-for! Everything was so delicious!
This venue was worth everything penny I have them, and my guest are still telling me how great everything was! -

Lindsay Sent on 12/20/2024The BEST wedding venue in Philly
If I could give Hotel Monaco and their staff 10 stars, I would. From beginning to end this venue went above and beyond for us. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives and not a SINGLE thing went wrong. Desiree and Emily Elizabeth heard my vision and implemented it flawlessly. Seriously, wouldn’t change a single thing. From ensuring the guests, bridal party, and us (the bride and groom) had everything they needed at all times, were fed, and enjoying themselves to things like day-of coordination and sign creations - it was all perfect. The staff became like family to us and they were always flexible and accommodating. Desiree ran my bouquet out to me before the first look when my florist ran a little bit late - the effort these women put in to their job is incredibly evident, but they’re also genuinely kind people. The layout is fantastic for keeping your guests interacting with each other, the bartenders rocked, and the decor already in the ballroom is stunning (I.e. chandeliers, etc.). The guests also raved about our maitre d, Bernard, who made sure we were never without anything and brought smiles to our guest’s faces with his energy. Being able to have guests stay in the venue and have cocktail hour on the roof, ceremony and reception in the ballroom, and then back up to the roof for the afterparty was SO incredibly easy and made it a more enjoyable experience for everybody. I truly had THE most perfect day and it went better than I could have ever imagined and I truly attribute that to Desiree, Emily Elizabeth, and the rest of the Hotel Monaco staff. If you’re looking for a venue that will make your life easy and ensure you have the best day of your life - BOOK HOTEL MONACO!!!! We love you guys and thank you! -

Kelsey Sent on 12/08/2024Desiree is the best!
We recently had our wedding at Stratus Lounge, the rooftop of Hotel Monaco, and it was absolutely perfect. Desiree is truly amazing, and was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She made us feel so special by listening to our unique ideas and pushing us in the right direction whenever we were uncertain. Desiree swooped in to save the day multiple times throughout the wedding weekend, and we received several compliments about how professional and sweet she was on our big day.
Guests also loved the food and thought the ceremony set up was so unique and beautiful. Being two brides, we both wanted to walk down the aisle at the same time, so Stratus was perfect because we could each come from one of the houses (Mist and Vapor) on either side. We had the ceremony (and later the band / reception) right under the wings in the center of the rooftop. Even though we didn’t have a sit down dinner, all 140 guests had a place to sit and eat or lounge if they didn’t want to dance.
It was the perfect night, better than we could ever dream, and that’s all thanks to Desiree and team! We’ll be coming back to Hotel Monaco every year to relive the magic, that’s for sure :) -

Esther Sent on 07/31/2024July Wedding
We used Hotel Monaco for our wedding and it was absolutely the BEST! First off, our wedding coordinator Katie was amazing. From planning prior to the wedding, rehearsal, and the day of, Katie was attentive, sweet, and just a pleasure to work with. And upon check in, we received a handwritten note from staff (Joann) congratulating us on the big day and making us feel extra special. As for the big day, all our guests loved having cocktail hour on the roof. And special shoutout to Bernard! He was absolutely the best!! He continuously checked up on us throughout the night and made sure I never had an empty glass in hand :) Although I only could name a few, the entire staff was truly amazing. Lastly, James, the GM personally reached out to us and checked up on us to make sure we had the best experience which we truly appreciated. Overall, choosing Hotel Monaco was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and would highly recommend to others who are in search for a venue! -

Allison Sent on 05/28/2024The Hotel Monaco is second to none. The staff, location, food and planning was excellent.
We just had our daughter's wedding at the Hotel Monaco and it was spectacular. Fortunately, the weather cooperated and we were able to have the ceremony on the roof at the Stratus Lounge which was so unique and special. As far as the planning is concerned, Katie was beyond exceptional and I cannot say enough good things about her. She was kind, reassuring and extremely timely in her responses to our multitude of questions. There is no situation that she cannot solve. The staff was amazing including the valet, reception, reservations coordinator and the waitstaff for the wedding. No issues at all. And a special shoutout to Bernardo who was the maitre-d for the tasting. He was so much fun and made the experience very special. The food was abundant and excellent. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour and some were stuffed by the time the meal was served. The hotel is located in Old City directly across from Independence Hall and easily accessible from the airport for out-of-town guests. Consequently, there is a multitude of sites to visit and restaurants for guests during downtime. I would not hesitate to recommend the Hotel Monaco to anyone. It is superb! -
Kristin Sent on 01/18/2024
Simply the best, highly recommend!
From the moment we met Katie at the Philadelphia Wedding Expo, we knew there was something special about the Hotel Monaco, and our first tour confirmed that. Upon entering Stratus, we instantly knew this would be the perfect venue for our wedding day - it fit our personalities, the vibe we were looking for, and the layout/aesthetic was absolute perfection. And getting to work with Katie was the cherry on top. She was amazing throughout the entire planning process (very responsive and accommodating), and she was absolutely essential in making our wedding day the most special and perfect. We can’t say enough great things about her and the rest of the Hotel Monaco team. Highly recommend them for any wedding/event! -

November wedding
We just had a wedding here early November and they executed everything so flawlessly. Katie was so responsive and helpful through over a year of planning. She got back to us with any question, doubt or change so quickly and went above and beyond for helping us organize things with our vendors from the dj and timeline to the flowers and officiant. They know what they're doing at hotel Monaco and you won't have to worry about anything cause they will be very hands on helping you along the way. We had our ceremony of 74 people on the roof and then went to the ballroom for our reception.
Everything looked really beautiful in our pictures.
People loved the food, the vibe and atmosphere and the hotel itself. Communication was always clear and we ended up doing a rehearsal dinner with them which they did a great job with. They catered to my special diet and worked with me with the cocktail hour making sure I could eat and enjoy the day. Katie made us feel confident any time we saw her during the wedding and rehearsal dinner that she had us taken care of and things would be alright. -

I don't even know where to begin to explain how amazing our experience with Desiree and Hotel Monaco was. From the second we saw Stratus Lounge, we knew that was the exact vibe we wanted for our wedding. Stratus is modern, intimate and the perfect rooftop setting. Desiree not only understood the vision for our day, but went above and beyond to make sure it happened. We were absolutely treated like royalty from start to finish throughout the entire planning process. Any little question/concern I had, Desiree was there to calm my nerves as an anxious bride and ensure every single detail was perfect. She even found the most perfect musician for our ceremony--Brian Fitzy (absolutely amazing!!). Our guests RAVED about the food (believe me, this is not your typical wedding food) and speciality cocktails (smoked out old fashioned bar & espresso martinis!). Desiree and the staff got to know us so personally, that they even delivered gifts for our dog when we arrived. The bartenders at the wedding even went as far as to assist us with an after party location (also met us there to continue the fun!) I cannot say enough good things about Hotel Monaco and their entire staff who all made our day an absolute dream come true. Don't think, just get married here! -

Beautiful Venue - Amazing Staff!
We got married in January 2022, after delaying from January 2021. The space is beautiful, and it's great being so close to so many historic sites. Desiree was incredible and made sure our entire day was perfect! I can't recommend Hotel Monaco enough - it was the perfect day -

When we first began planning our wedding we quickly felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices we needed to make. When we met with Desiree at the Hotel Monaco to tour the venue we were so impressed with how beautiful the space was and, more importantly, how supportive Desiree was in planning the day. Desiree answered all of our questions, helped us find the perfect vendors, and made sure the day went off without a hitch! Their recommended vendors were all so amazing both in the quality of their work and clear communication to ensure everything went smoothly. We’re so thankful to everyone at Hotel Monaco for their help with planning our wedding and being present the day of to ensure our day was perfect! -

Janna Sent on 05/14/2022Wonderful Venue
We chose the Monaco as our wedding venue for its convenience and amazing reviews and we weren't disappointed. We were initially planning to get married during the early pandemic months and decided to completely cancel our wedding only to rebook a year later, and Desiree could not have been more gracious to welcome us back. We decided to do a completely vegetarian menu and while the chef had some limitations on what he could do outside of their usual offerings, we ended up with a wonderful custom buffet that we and our guests were very happy with. Desiree was hugely helpful both before and on our wedding day and with her help we did not need to hire a planner or day-of wedding coordinator. The Monaco also hosted our post wedding breakfast which was perfect. Our family and guests were all incredibly impressed with this venue and staff. Thanks so much! -

I would recommend Hotel Monaco and Desiree with 100 stars if I could. Our wedding was absolute perfection! Desiree went above and beyond to make our day as special as I imagined. The wedding date had to be moved due to Covid which was extremely stressful and Desiree calmed our nerves and switched our date with ease. She is the best and our wedding was a day everyone remembered! -

Wish we could relive the day
The staff at Kimpton Hotel Monaco were amazing. From the day we went to visit the venue leading up to the day of the wedding. They made me feel comfortable welcomed and like family. Desiree was awesome with answering all my questions during the first stages and the Shannon came in and continued to make sure that every last detail down to making sure my nerves on the day of were handled and taken care of. Bernardo gave us an awesome tasting and made sure my husband and I wanted for nothing on our actual wedding day/night. The staff were above and beyond amazing and I would definitely recommend Hotel Monaco to anyone looking to get married. Our guest are still talking about that night even till this day!!! -

Adam Sent on 11/10/2021Phenomenal Experience, feels like family & home!
I don't know where to begin in this review for Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia. Even from our initial appointment way back when, we were given the royal treatment. All of the small little moments & details (which many may overlook) were made to be incredibly special. Desiree Sklar (director of catering and the venue's dedicated wedding coordinator) is INCREDIBLE at what she does. Anytime we had a concern or a question, she quickly put us at ease. This certainly was not an easy feat given how particular we are and all of the gymnastics she had to go through in the height of the pandemic. She truly makes magic happen. She was who we met with initially, and she was there with us through the thick and thin of it all along the way, including the entire day and night of! The hotel is beautiful, eclectic, extravagant, and so much more. We've never had a bad meal the many times we've eaten there. It honestly feels like home, and we were made to feel like family. The energy we created was infectious. Not only were we as newlyweds and all of our guests having the best time, all of our vendors worked together in harmony and all of the staff were excited to be there too. There are too many to name, but all of the staff was fantastic and went out of their way to ensure we were well cared for. Our wedding was perfect and it was well worth the wait (even with the extra year we needed to wait because of Covid). I can't think of anything I would've wanted to go differently. We knew it was going to be great, but we're still blown away by how amazing everything was. We still have people coming up to us telling us it was the wedding of the century, the best wedding they've ever been to, the best time they've ever had, the most beautiful venue, and more! Thank you to everyone that came together to make this happen, we can't wait to share our photo and video footage with everybody and relive it again. We'll never forget this, and luckily since we're local we can come visit anytime! -

Michelle Sent on 12/08/2020The Kimpton is a Dream!
Booking the Kimpton for our wedding was the best decision we made for the big day! Desiree and the rest of the Kimpton staff is a delight to work with, especially when postponing our wedding from 06/27/2020 to 06/20/2021. Desiree was in constant communication to help make our new day special with all of the necessary COVID precautions. We love the retro and classic feel of the Kimpton in the heart of Philadelphia. We're so excited for the big day coming soon!
After the wedding: Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true all thanks to the Kimpton Hotel Monaco and the amazing staff there, especially Desiree our wedding coordinator!! First and foremost, the Kimpton and the Stratus rooftop is absolutely stunning, the décor along is funky, modern and edgy. This includes the Mist and Vapor rooms and on the roof and every hallway/corner in between! The food was delicious from start to finish and it is kept coming! The best part was the venue included all of the food, passed apps, cheese platter, platted dinner, passed desserts (everyone loved the fries at the end!) and the wedding cake from Brendenbecks! This made planning so much easier! The star of the show is definitely our amazing coordinator Desiree! She has been there for us not only each step of the planning, but through date changes and our questions and concerns about COVID guidelines. We decided to have a very small 50 person wedding on the rooftop, and she turn the roof into the most beautiful wedding spot ever! All we did was bring her the decorations and she set them up perfectly and thoughtfully. She also helped with giving out vouchers for parking, practicing with our bridal party for the ceremony and SO much more. Thank you Desiree and everyone at the Kimpton for making out day so special, fun and memorable! If you are looking for a city venue that is affordable, funky, fun and include so much with the overall price, book the Kimpton today!!! -

Caitlin Sent on 11/15/2019They made our dreams come true!
I honestly don't even know where to begin when reviewing the Hotel Monaco as a wedding venue. We booked the venue because of the beauty of the space and the competence of the team there. The cocktail hour on the Stratus Lounge and reception in the Lafayette ballroom is the perfect setting for a wedding, especially if you have out of town guests staying at the hotel as well. We loved having everything in one place. We even had our welcome drinks at the Red Owl Tavern, which made it so easy. Mid-way through our planning process, the team actually changed out, and Jackie became our new go-to person. I can honestly say that having Jackie become our wedding coordinator/manager was the single best thing to happen to us during the entire planning process. She has an incredibly rare combination of intelligence, patience, diligence, and excellent client management that makes you feel taken care of. We really trusted her, and we know she played an integral part in the success of our day. To give you an example of how detail oriented and caring she is, my grandmother passed just a few weeks before the wedding. She gifted me a small token of remembrance with a beautiful note. I was totally taken aback, and it made me realize how important it is to have someone like her planning the biggest day of your life. In addition to Jackie, Tinisha handled all of our room reservations. She was AMAZING. She was the most responsive person I have ever worked with, her communication was flawless. She also artfully handled a couple of room switches, and went way above and beyond to make people in our room block happy. Carly handled all of the financials for us, and while this role doesn't always get a lot of love because they're not in the "fun" parts of the planning, she was a big part of everything going smoothly, especially with a lot of last minute changes. Bernardo was our maitre'd for the evening. People are still coming up to me and talking to me about how amazing he was, our wedding was 2 months ago. He truly made the party go on and on and on. A bit more about the reception space... it is a little small, but don't let that deter you. The size of the room made our party absolutely bumpin'. There was not a single soul that did not dance. Our dance floor was packed, but it felt like a true party. We just could not have imagined having our wedding anywhere else. GET MARRIED HERE!!!! -

I got married on June 8th, 2019 at Hotel Monaco. It was truly the most amazing wedding ever (I may be a bit bias) and exceeded every single one of our expectations!!!!! Desiree Sklar was our contact throughout the planning process and was there for us on our wedding day through the entire day/night. She is AN ANGEL! Truly she was made for weddings. She was so chill to work with and totally understood the vibe we were going for. Thank you so so so much hotel Monaco for bringing our vision to fruition and making it a day we will never forget. Also - can't forget about Bernardo, our server. He is THE MAN! I even convinced him to do a solo on the mic, absolutely LOVED it! -
Christina Sent on 03/14/2018From my first meeting with Matt (our event coordinator from the hotel), I felt like I was the center of their world. We booked the Monaco 13 months in advance, and Matt was excellent about keeping in touch and letting us know where we needed to be in the process. Any missteps were my own doing here (sending out invites before the tasting…you WILL need to provide entrée selections; forgetting to include taxes and fees in my own personal accounting of our total…that hurt!). Upon check in, Patrick (at the front desk) was so helpful with taking our extra guest bags, updating 7 different rooms credit card info, and making many many multiple copies of keys.
I did have some struggles with the room block, they don’t seem to communicate with the event staff regarding the events taking place at their hotel. There were also some communication issues between management and the staff working our wedding in terms of timing.
However, the food was spectacular, the service sublime, and everyone ate and drank their fill all night. The space was beautiful, the rooms upstairs were perfect, and it was everything I wanted for my wedding, and everything I wanted to display about my city to our out-of-town guests. Two months later, I still have people calling me up, just to tell me how fantastic it was – including people who have already called me and just can’t stop gushing! I would go back for literally any event I can think to throw there.

Brandon Sent on 10/30/2023The absolute best
Me and my husband got married at the hotel monaco on September 30th 2023, and we truly couldn't have had a better experience.
From our very first tour of the venue, we fell in love with the hotel, and all of its allure, especially the ballroom and the rooftop lounge. our coordinator and social catering manager Katie is really what made us feel inclined to sign our contract and have the hotel monaco be our place to host our dream wedding.
Katie was incredibly helpful with all things pricing, food, sharing preffered vendors etc all things that come with her job Im sure, But what made our experience truly special is that we felt katie really understood our vision, and goals for the wedding, and she was so incredibly helpful in helping us execute that down to perfection. Being a very hands on person myself, katie was so great with communication, constantly staying in the loop and checking in, and always making sure she was on the very same page as us throughout the planning process.
very long story short, Katie Killman and Hotel Monaco are at 11/10, we cannot recommend them more, and we couldn't have possibly had a better wedding, thanks to them! -

Joanne Sent on 12/07/2020Great venue and phenomenal service
We're getting married here in 2021. From the very first interaction (thru planning, etc.), Desiree and her team rolled out the red carpet. Beyond their expertise, they are truly human - setting our mind at ease about everything (both normal wedding-related worries and added complexity of the pandemic). They also recognized the importance of our culture by agreeing to prepare a special Filipino dish for our guests. Highly recommend. -
Geetika Sent on 08/21/2018We booked Monaco exactly a year before our wedding, and couldn't be happier with our decision. We had multiple events at the venue, and Matt and his team were more than accommodating to our random requests. The ballroom is beautiful and with a little bit of decor, the reception came to life!
My tasting experience with them was phenomenal! I couldn't decide on what to chose but loved tasting every dish that they prepared.
We had a few guests staying in the hotel and they all couldn't stop gushing about how much fun they had at the hotel. Let me just say that if you want a city wedding with a guest list that isn't crazy long, Monaco is perfect!
The only challenge I had, and maybe this is my fault, that I didn't get all my stuff back from the venue that I used for decor and other things. I should have been more upfront about wanting it back!
Matt is amazing though, you will live every moment of working with him! -
