Incredible, seamless experience, wish I could do it again!

We are SO HAPPY with the Bethesda Marriott. From start to finish, we had the best experience. Jim was our sales manager and he was super nice and helpful with figuring out if this was the right fit. From there we worked with the event coordinator, Michelle Le, who truly made our dreams come true. Super responsive via email, was there for the entire process including the day of the event. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was perfect, including but certainly not limited to setting up our tables while we were at the church. The entire staff at this hotel is incredible and they all deserve raises. I am so thankful for everyone there and can’t recommend it enough!

5 star venue!

We hosted wedding for 270 people last January. Everything was OUTSTANDING. We had an amazing Senior Event Mgr, Catrena Townes who worked tirelessly to ensure our daughters day was what she dreamed of. People raved about the food and the chef was 5 star. Accommodations for guests were perfect and at a very attractive rate. I would not hesitate to recommend !!

(Safe) Outdoor and Indoor - COVID times

The service/staff of Marriot made my wedding a breeze and a touch of peace during a happy but also stressful (lots of moving parts) day.
All in all thankful to have had a public space where my family could have gathered for my COVID wedding. Our wedding moving to Marriot was last minute, so we had short time of communication, nonetheless the Ms.K showed us the room and space. Great food options!
