Best venue and staff

I am so grateful we had our wedding with the Marriott. Andrea was beyond helpful from start to finish of planning our event, also Nick the banquet manager went above and beyond to make sure we had all our wedding things when it was over. The banquet staff is amazing!!! The reception was so well organized by them and I am so grateful for everything they did for our day.

The staff at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest (especially Anna) were so accommodating with everything we needed! We were very impressed with Anna’s attention to detail, timeliness with every questioner had and ensuring we had the perfect day that fit what we were looking for. If you’re looking for someone who you can count on to make your big day, everything you’ve imagined, you need Anna at the Marriott! We are very big on timely responses, and Anna was always in touch with us and answered questions so quick! We loved the “back up” option for indoors as we planned an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. The venue is able to fit up to 500 people with a couple different ballrooms as options. Absolutely perfect and recommended to all!

We had the best experience at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest for our wedding reception! Anna was amazing at coordinating all the details to ensure everything went smoothly. She answered our questions quickly, provided us alternative and better ideas, and was on-site the day of our wedding. The Marriott team was excellent and the food was outstanding. We couldn't have asked for a better reception venue and would highly recommend the Marriott Southwest for your wedding/reception!! Thank you again for making our day so memorable!
