JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa Reviews

From Lauren to Keri to Jena to Emma, the team took care of us. They answered all of our questions and attended to our concerns. The food was amazing and the ambience was great! Thank you

The JW Marriott was a beautiful venue and had professional, responsive staff. We were very well taken care of in the planning and on the day.

We were sold on the venue because the JW had an option for a morning brunch wedding, which saved us some money and worked better for us as morning people. As the less contested time, this also gave us access to the Garden Gazebo for the ceremony and the Cascade Room for the reception. These are beautiful locations and could accommodate many more than the 65 people we ended up having. It was also a major plus that we could do everything there, from the rehearsal dinner (Hawthorne Grill was a great option for us, but there are others), to the ceremony, to the reception, while we and our many out-of-town guests could stay on the property. (We're both local, but we're both transplants whose families must come from out of town).

"All-inclusive" weddings are a bit of a misnomer, as they don't include outside vendors like photographers, florists, etc. That said, we got quite a lot for our money, including some outside vendors that may be additional costs at other venues. The venue cost included:
* The ceremony and reception
* Use of the bridal suite the day before and day of the ceremony (with an option for another day earlier, which we probably should have taken)
* The food at the reception, which was excellent (cost also includes a tasting a few months before) - we went with the buffet option
* Open bar - there are upgrades, but the base is pretty solid
* A day-of coordinator - this person is assigned by the venue to coordinate the outside vendors. The JW made a truly inspired decision on ours - she was wonderful
* The cake - note this isn't always covered in all-inclusives
* The DJ - see above
* A standard dance floor - Probably enough for 100 people, upgrades available for larger parties
* Quite a few other things, which they are very open and transparent about

The JW provides a pre-approved vendor list of outside vendors that they have worked with before, which is a tremendous help as you try to narrow down the universe of Las Vegas wedding photographers to eight or so. You can go outside of this list if you want - we didn't.

Audra Bishop was our venue coordinator, helping us with all the planning pertaining to the venue itself and coordinating the JW staff related to it. She was very responsive, professional, and helpful, and if you end up with her, she will take good care of you. We had general ideas for the wedding, but no strong ones, and she helped guide us through the myriad options available. When our guest list ended up coming well short of what we anticipated, she worked to find options to meet our food and beverage minimum (the cost is already agreed upon - we just ended up with some food upgrades to meet it). This of course wasn't ideal, but we ended up with an agreeable solution.

The day before the wedding, it became apparent that a windstorm would blow in sometime that Saturday. It seemed likely that we could get the ceremony in (and the florist could get the gazebo decorations down) before it hit, but you never know for sure. Audra took us to the alternate location to let us see it. The forecast held and we got to use our primary location, but we would have been OK had the weather forced the alternate location.

The Garden Gazebo is a beautiful venue. It is out on the grass in the middle of the property. It does more or less require draperies and flowers (our florist handled both), as some guests would be staring through at the onsite Starbucks otherwise. It does, however, lend itself very well to ceremonies up to 150 guests or so. It is next to the pool, and the JW does make an effort to try to prioritize the wedding by turning down the pool music. As the morning wedding, we were way ahead of the pool crowd, so this didn't affect us.

The cocktail hour was held outside this room, and it is in direct sunlight. This may be an issue if your guests aren't used to Vegas' heat and dry air, as even in late spring, it's easy to overheat. There apparently was a miscommunication somewhere, as we were told people could hang inside if they needed, but some guests mentioned they couldn't.

The reception was held in the Cascade Room, which is just around the corner. The Cascade room is incredibly spacious and elegant. It includes an overhead light fixture that can be set to many different colors. It has a few alcoves that need decorations to work for weddings, but it's pretty close in its base configuration. It's designed for 150-200 people, but we didn't feel swallowed by the space even with only 60. Their service staff and bartenders were outstanding - we got to avoid the typical wedding mistake of not eating, as they brought everything to us, kept our drinks topped up, and overall ensured we were taken care of. Our guests reported much the same.

Note that, if you do what we did and chose the morning timeslot, your reception has a hard cutoff time so that they can turn the venue around the the evening wedding. This wasn't an issue for us - they are very transparent about this before you commit to that timeslot.

Overall, we were super happy with our experience at the JW Marriott Las Vegas. They were very helpful and transparent during the planning, they provide many options within a helpful structure to couples that don't have strong visions, and they are flexible. Their experience and professionalism is apparent in every aspect of the process. It was the beautiful, all-in-one venue we were looking for, and it helped provide the elegant, intimate, and fun celebration we wanted. Thank you, Audra, Richard, and everyone that helped us along the way.

Jack and I had such a beautiful wedding. The JW Marriott did a wonderful job coordinating everything including the fine details.

The property is beautiful and our photos showcased the property. Highly recommend for future couples!

Picking the JW Marriott as our venue was the first and best decision we made for our wedding. The venue is absolutely. beautiful. They took care of everything for us and made the planning so easy. Audra was our event manager and did a fantastic job and made everything so smooth for us. She was very responsive and detailed throughout the whole process.

Our day was perfect. They had everything set up exactly how we wanted and planned. All the staff was on top of everything, made sure we got our food first, dinner and dessert, and always had a drink in our hand. We had the best time and completely stress free.

Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect! We didn’t feel any stress and we were able to enjoy the entire day/night knowing that the team at JW had everything taken care of. Literally not one thing went wrong! The food was beyond fantastic. All of our guests kept raving about how amazing everything tasted and they also mentioned that it was the best service ever. I had a few specific table settings requests and they were able to accommodate that as well. Everything looked beautiful and everything was clean. The specific lighting that we asked for in The Cascade Room was the perfect color. Our day of coordinator, Kailey Songster, was the best. I had a lot of DIY decor, and she was able to execute everything even better than I had imagined. She even added a few special touches that looked so beautiful. She was always super sweet and was always able to get everyone in line without ever breaking a sweat. She made everything super smooth and seamless.
Our catering event manager, Kelsey Moilanen, was truly everything you want in a planner and more! She was always super responsive, whether it was through email or on the phone, and always made any requests happen. We asked for certain specialty cocktails with different garnishes and she made it easily happen. Not only that, she is just a genuine, thoughtful, and kind person. We had a few kids in our wedding, so we decided to have a specific kids table. I let Kelsey know that the kids aren’t picky so the wedding food was fine for them. To our surprise, the kids were accommodated with kids meals and even cute glow sticks! She was sympathetic to an unfortunate situation that occurred a few days before our wedding day, and I’ll truly never forget that. Kelsey, you’re an angel!
Thank you to the JW Marriott team for our dream wedding!

Keri Macanas helped us coordinate the most incredible wedding we could have ever imagined! It was an absolute dream and everything was flawless. Keri and the J.W. Marriott team made it all possible. They had the best customer service and attention to detail we could have asked for. We felt taken care of throughout the entire process. Keri is super responsive and incredibly knowledgeable. She was the highlight of our wedding planning experience. Everything about our wedding was smooth and beautiful. J.W. Marriott Las Vegas was a gorgeous setting and made everything so convenient for our out-of-town guests.

My wedding day could not have been as special as it was if it weren't for Keri's high attention to detail and professionalism. Keri made my husband and I aware of some important last-minute decisions that we had to make a few days before the wedding at the JW Marriott in Las Vegas. She kept calm and collected throughout and that made us feel so much better about the situation and we trusted her every step of the way. I highly recommend her and the JW Marriott in Las Vegas to anyone. It was an amazing experience for us and our family and friends.

I had the most amazing wedding because of Kimberly and her whole team at The JW Marriott!
Kimberly ended up taking over my contract after my original sales coordinator left and from when she took the wedding over and on everything was seamless. Every single detail was attended too. We did have a little hiccup with the rental company, and she was so quick to fix it even though it was not her problem. All of the staff at The JW was fantastic and the grounds are so well maintained and gorgeous.

I loved everything about the JW and If I had to replan our wedding, I would pick the JW every time.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Many guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! This was in very large part because of Keri and the other members of the JW Marriott team. Keri was patient, helpful, responsive, supportive, and overall awesome in helping us plan our big day. During our wedding weekend, the JW Marriott staff were very professional and kind. 10/10. Zero complaints. Thank you so much, Keri and team!!!

Do not sleep on JWM. We toured a couple of properties before going with Marriott, and neither of them compared to the amazingness of the all-inclusive wedding package and service we received for our April 2022 wedding here. The entire property is beautiful and impeccably clean. Kimberly and her staff bent over backward to make sure our wedding was 100% our vision. We got an amazing package in 2021, a year before our wedding date. It included all these vendors and extras without having to spend an arm and a leg on wedding services like cake and the DJ. The entire catering staff was phenomenal at making sure our needs were met. I also need to give a special shout-out to Paul at the Palms valet. He was so helpful with all our wedding stuff, going in and out of the rooms. Everyone involved helped our vision come to life down to a T, the way we imagined. And with the most professionalism!

All our family and close friends will be talking about this wedding for the next 20+ years, I kid you not. They loved it all (especially the cake from Rolling in the Dough, OMG). This was a good excuse to get everyone together, which is rare. And that day, the vision came to life so incredibly... the weather was perfect... it was like living a dream. I told my now-husband we need to come back once a year and stay in that (amazing) suite to relive everything. 💗

Very Beautiful venue our wedding was our dream wedding and it happened at this amazing venue. Staffing was on point and we truly are happy this was the perfect location for an elopement in Las Vegas.

Kimberly and her team exceeded all of our requests. From start to finish everything was perfect. We have been on cloud nine since the wedding. I also have a special thanks to Emily Grace and Kimberly for their clear communication and always working with my mom. They were fantastic, and gave extra tender loving care to my mom and all of her request as well. Thank you for making the day so perfect for myself and especially for her. See


Kimberly made sure we completed everything along the way so I had no stress come the wedding day. She made sure everything we prepared in advance so that I didn’t have things left on my plate last minute.

When I need to bring my supplies to the venue Kimberly and her team made sure mine was stored on property.

All of the items were perfectly placed by Emily Grace and the rest of the JW team for the day of the wedding.

The day of the wedding all hands were on deck and I had such a magical experience that I didn’t have a care in the world. The whole team makes sure everything is in placed and IF anything was wrong they all handled it and never brought it up to me.

You can really trust them with your very special day.

The food was to die for. We did a buffet and the food was tasty and everyone ate well on our big night. We also did late night sliders and fries, this was a great way to end an evening of dancing and drinking.

Kimberly helped keep the Drumbots a surprise for the guest and my now husband. She made sure that the Drummers were snuck in and tucked away until their big reveal.

After the wedding, banquet captain Richard carefully packed up all of the wedding supplies to be picked up by my family later. This was appreciated because it really allowed us to enjoy the party and go back to our bridal suite without a care.

First of all - Shout out to Leslie Lombino - she is AMAZING!

We booked the JW Marriott in Vegas for our wedding. They were extremely professional and answered all our questions promptly. We received frequent follow-ups prior to the event, which demonstrated that they cared about the details and our needs. The service was impeccable. And most importantly, they delivered everything as promised.

From the initial meeting with the JW team, to our wedding reception, we could not have been happier. We are extremely grateful for the incredible experience and service that was provided. Leslie is so experienced and enthusiastic! She replies to emails and phone calls within minutes, and she has all the right connections for the best wedding vendors if you need them.

Every detail handled by the JW was executed perfectly and beautifully, including the cocktails and food. Our wedding day was smooth and low stress – I think that mainly stems from how experienced and well-trained JW staff are. At the end, the guests at our wedding had so many compliments about the service and incredible food!

We loved every single part of our wedding and owe the majority of that to Leslie and the JW team. Thank you all SO much for every single conversation and moment you've shared with us! We cannot wait to share more experiences with you in the future!

Altogether, the level of service surpassed all expectations, and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

Much love,
Noah & Jessica

The sales and event staff are amazing to work with. We've hosted multiple events at JW Marriot/Rampart and they've always been top notch!

We had the best wedding at JW. They were so helpful throughout all the crazy covid times as well.

Wow! JW Marriott Las Vegas, truly made all of our wedding dreams come true. From the day we toured the facility, we were blown away by the beauty of this venue. Leslie answered every question we had immediately and made us feel like our wedding was their top priority. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. All of our guests raved about every detail, from the romantic cocktail hour, to the delicious meal, to the service that was simply outstanding by all of their staff. They made us feel like a King and Queen. I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

Keri was so great from start to finish during the planning process. Everything went exactly as planned, and it was a beautiful venue. We would 100% recommend this venue for your wedding!

The JW Marriott is THE place to have a wedding in Vegas!!
Keri was THE MOST helpful!! From emails to phone calls and in-person meetings, she made the whole planning process that much better! She was quick in her replies and always had a way to help us work things to our liking. The venue was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the service we received was exceptional!! If you’re looking into planning your wedding here, you should go for it! For us being over 900 miles away, it was stress free planning the entire time and turned out just how we planned!
Thank you, Keri & the entire JW Marriott staff that served us!!

At the inception and throughout, Leslie's energy was amazing. She and the resort gave us a team of people that treated us like we were royalty.

My Fiancee and I chose to have our wedding at the JW Marriott, not because of the beautiful venue with lush gardens and waterfalls, we chose the venue because of Leslie Lombino. Leslie is one of the most awesome, accommodating, honest, hard working, and just one the greatest person I have ever met. She makes you feel at ease and gives you the sense that nothing is impossible. Leslie 's vibrant personality makes you realize she loves what she does and you can tell she is just so proud of what the JW has to offer couples, who like us, wanted to have a dream wedding! The entire staff, from the hosts at the check-in desk, to the bartenders to the Manager at Cascade, were spectacular. We are extremely happy we were able to have our dream wedding at the JW Marriott! Thank you!

We chose the JW Marriott in Summerlin as the venue for our wedding ceremony and celebration and we couldn’t have been happier with our selection. When more than half of our wedding guests were traveling from out of town, we wanted to make sure we provided the best hotel experience for them. The resort amenities, beautiful grounds and overall service were the main factors in our decision. We discovered quickly during our planning process that we had not only chosen a great venue but the experience was going to be just as great.

Our initial start with the planning process was a little rocky, but Keri stepped in and came to our rescue and thank goodness for her! She was extremely helpful during the hard covid months and we appreciate how well she worked with our wedding planner to postpone our wedding seamlessly. From changing our wedding date, the ceremony location, last minute dinner entree edits, and needing to quickly add more rooms to the block for very eager and excited family, Keri was exceptional and deserves all the praises.

The JW Marriott team made sure my husband and I felt like they were simply there for us on our special day and that weekend. We were always met with smiles and always asked if we needed anything. We felt so pampered. We can’t stop raving about the service we received because the staff made us feel that if we needed anything they would do their best to make it happen. Our requests and modifications were never met with a “no” but always with a friendly exchange of what we could or couldn’t do.

Our friends and family are still talking about our wedding and how much they enjoyed their stay. My husband and I can’t wait to come back for staycations and to spend many summer days at their gorgeous pool!

Thank you to the entire JW Marriott team for being a part of our special day!

The JW Marriott Summerlin and their Sales Manager Leslie L. are amazing. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. They helped make my daughter’s wedding day everything she had dreamed of and more, working with us through the constantly changing landscape of an unprecedented pandemic and providing top quality customer service every step of the way. Leslie and the entire Marriott staff are welcoming, flexible, professional and fun to work with! There is never a communication problem, they go out of their way to make every detail special, and the venue is absolutely beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone at the JWM. You are the best!

Thank you to Keri and the Hawthorn Grill team for taking care of my husband and our guests for our wedding reception. Keri answered any and all of my questions and was quick to reply. Fantastic service and everyone was happy with the set menu; filet's were great!

Keri Macanas and the entire staff at JW Marriott Resort & Spa went above and beyond to help us plan our wedding. We already had to postpone two times back at home and decided to do a small destination wedding with just family and Keri ensured we had a magical experience. She answered every question quickly and professionally, even when they were a little crazy! She was kind, attentive and exceeded our expectations. Keri made a point to seek me out as I was getting ready on the big day to just check in and see if we needed anything! As we were planning our wedding, the Covid restrictions were constantly changing in Las Vegas and Keri made sure we were kept updated and ensured we had the best day possible! We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Keri and the entire JW Marriott for any event! We can’t thank them enough for creating such a special day for us!
