The most incredible day

The Doubletree staff (Valarie Gulde in particular) were absolutely incredible. Everyone was extremely helpful and so sweet during our planning process. We had a decently big wedding (about 200 people) and I was so stressed out wanting everything to be perfect. I was in contact with Valarie for about 1.5 years before the wedding and she was ALWAYS available to help me. She even made sure she was there the day of the wedding to give me some piece of mind. Our day truly went off without a single hitch, the doubletree staff took care of everything and anything. I cannot recommend the Doubletree enough!

everything was taken care of for us. The day was perfict

Azurah was our contact person she was great. From start to finish she was wonderful. What was amazing that they had decoration included that we did not have to pay for. Our floral decorator use these items with her design. The food was also over the top different items that were offered that most of the guests never had, not like a normal wedding reception. It turned out wonderful, so many compliments from our guests.

Amazing! Felt supported and cared for by their warm professionalism the entire experience!

Our experience in choosing the DoubleTree in Bay City, MI for our wedding was SUPERB. The staff was wonderful and accommodating, from Tricia initially booking our day to all the communications and conversations I had with Valarie in the planning of our day. I had a lot of questions! Valarie was so graceful, timely, and kind with each response. On the day of the event, the event staff from setup through the event were amazing! We received a lot of compliments about the food as well. We even received chocolate covered strawberries and a thank you note in our hotel room from everyone! The DoubleTree in Bay City was amazing! I am so thankful we had our wedding there! Everything was perfect, I mean it.
