    Wonderful!

    I held my maduram veppu (similar to Sangeet) Event At Fairfax Marriott on 10/21 and had all our guests (300+) stay here for the weekend. I originally was going to do a cheaper venue for this event, but after logistics came into play, I bit the bullet and spent more money to have it in the ballroom at Fairfax. This was the BEST decision I made - i was BLOWN away by how amazing the event went - everyone raved about the hotel, the bar situation, the ballroom, the decor, the service. It was so nice that our guests after a long drive from NJ/NY to Fairfax, could conveniently attend the event on the main floor. Lucy, the catering manager, was wonderful to work with! WIth our amount of guests, Lucy gave us a complimentary hospitality room for the whole weekend where we could accommodate lunch/breakfasts for our families, have dance practices, get hair &makeup done, etc.

    We worked with Seth to accommodate our wedding block, and my gosh I don’t know how Seth dealt with me. I must have sent him at least 300+ emails in the past year, and every time, he responded quickly with clear responses. Everything with the hotel went without a hitch, I highly highly recommend using them for our event!

    The Marriott at Fair Oaks was a great venue for my brother's wedding. They were so accommodating and professional. They made the whole reception go very smoothly. Tiffany Francis was amazing, she was awesome to work with. Very responsive to all my questions and made the process a-lot smoother and easier for everyone. The food was delicious and all my guests were in love with the set up and decoration of the place. I highly recommend the Marriott at Fair Oaks to anyone looking for a venue for any kind of event. I know there isn't much photos but once you go there you will see how pretty it is. The wedding package was very affordable and included almost everything necessary. Thank you so much Tiffany and her team for making everything great!

    Beautiful Venue

    Amazing venue and the staff was responsive and on top of everything! They made the day special and took care of every detail. Madison, JK, and Chef Naim worked very hard to make the day memorable for all of us.

    The Perfect Event Venue!

    If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would. Madison, Tiffany, Seth, and Chris made wedding planning so simple, and took excellent care of me, my family, and our guests throughout the entire process. Their communication was top notch and their services went SO FAR above and beyond all our expectations. I spent the majority of the planning working with Tiffany Francis, but when a family emergency meant she wouldn't be in town for my wedding, her assistant Madison Short stepped up kept everything perfectly on track, acing all the month-of details. Don't make the mistake of NOT booking your reception here, seriously. Best decision I ever made, and best event team ever. Food was delicious, decor was gorgeous, service was stellar, everything was perfect. THANK YOU!!!

    Wonderful despite COVID difficulties

    They were unbelievably accommodating, allowed us to switch our date without any issues during COVID. When we finally were able to have our wedding, the team was short staff but that did not stop them from going above and beyond. I was so appreciative in particular of Madison Short. Thank you for everything and making sure our wedding was nothing short of wonderful.

    We had all of our out of town guests (almost everyone at the wedding) stay at this hotel, as well as us on our wedding night. I wanted to have welcome bags for the guests upon arrival, and also a welcome happy hour in the hotel bar. Dean, the sales associate I dealt with was so helpful! They allowed me to drop the bags off ahead of time and our guests LOVED them. The rooms are beautiful and the staff was great.

    The wedding packages provided by the Fairfax Marriott are really convenient and well-worth the price, considering that in addition to dinner, it also included powder and changing rooms for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, holding rooms for the bridal party, and even an overnight suite for the bride and groom! We worked with Jim Intelli as our event coordinator, and he was just marvelous! As it was our first time planning a wedding, Jim provided us a lot of help and suggestions on what we needed to do, and he was always prompt and courteous in answering our emails, and met with us as much as we needed. The staff at the Marriott were also extremely warm and friendly; the next day, when we went downstairs for breakfast, everyone greeted and congratulated us!

    We could not be more pleased with the service we received from the Fairfax Marriott at Fair Oaks!!! We booked the Marriott about a year in advance (although they are always willing to find availabilities if you have less time), and Jim Intili and his staff made everything so easy! We had a few short meetings with Jim, and from there, Jim and his staff were able to take our vision and make it into a reality. All of our guests had an easy time booking rooms in our room block, and the Reservation staff was always on hand to answer questions. We pretty much had a run-of the hotel for the entire weekend, and everything turned out perfectly. I could not have asked for more!!

    The Marriott at Fair Oaks is absolutely beautiful. The atrium inside is breathtaking and was the perfect venue for our cocktail hour. The ballroom is beautiful as well. Jim Intili and his staff were absolutely amazing! Anything and everything we wanted, he made happen. The food was amazing as well - so many of our guests have commented on how awesome the food and staff were! I wish I could give the Marriott and Jim more stars! I can explain how grateful we are for his services and for making our day so wonderful!

    Amazing! Not only is the Fairfax Marriott at Fair Oaks a beautiful venue with the Garden Atrium, but the service we received there was awesome! We worked with Jim who was always a pleasure. Anything we needed he took care of. Leading up to the event, Jim was very responsive and on the day of he made everything run so smoothly. From the catering manager to the wait staiff to the hotel employees, I was completely and totally impressed with the level of service at the Marriott.

    The food was amazing! We were able to customize our menu based on what we like to eat and the chef was very accommodating. We hosted the reception sit down dinner and a private brunch the morning after and both were phenomenal.

    We would TOTALLY recommend the Fairfax Marriott at Fair Oaks.

    I can not emphasize enough how perfect my wedding was and a big chunk of that was because of the Marriott. The food was amazing, the place was beautiful and the best part was that the service was GREAT! I had to plan my wedding in 5 months and the hotel has an event coordinator that will pretty much did what ever you said and answered every single question I had. The food test tasting was one of my favorite parts and the chef came out to speak to us and he was so pleasant and nice. What really had me was the service. Every single person there was awesome and I am so thankful that they made my day so special. I highly recommend this place.

    Great experience

    We had a great experience working with Lisa from Marriott. She is very experienced with wedding planning and event organizing. Throughout the whole process, she is very responsive and flexible. We got a good price with quality services. The wedding turned out great! Thank you for being part of our big day.

    Better Than Perfect Wedding

    I had my wedding at the Fairfax Marriott Fair Oaks on 9/29/18. The day was better than perfect, the staff was professional and the food was delicious. The rate at this venue is very competitive and they even include chair covers and center pieces. Our guests had a blast and I never plan on coming down from this wedding high! We worked with Tiffany Francis as our wedding coordinator and she was wonderful. I highly recommend having your next celebration at the Fairfax Marriott at Fair Oaks.

    Beautiful venue

    The venue itself is beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had alot of compliments on the food. My only complaint is how hard it was to contact the person I needed to book everything with and give all the information to. She barely ever answered the phone and took more than a couple days to get back to me by email. Only complaint.

    Below Level For A Marriott

    Ok price, for a venue with food service in VA. Always a surprise, not as originally discussed. Not enough staff to cover the event. Appear to do the minimum. Recommended if no other option.

    We got a great deal--negotiated down to $70/head plus tax and tip (this also included top shelf liquor). There was definitely room for negotiation--you just have to push. The ceremony site was great--we had the entire atrium as well. The food was amazing--the best wedding food I've ever had, by far!
    The one problem we had was that the room that was supposed to be set up for the wedding party during the cocktail hour was an empty room. We were promised a bar and appetizers to mirror the cocktail hour. Our photographer had to run back and forth to bring us food. When we asked Bill about it, all he could come up with was "we wanted to serve you" so he sent in one waiter to take our drink orders. Needless to say, by the time the 25 drinks came back, it was time to go into the ceremony. Because our photography was playing hostess, she wasn't able to get all the pictures we wanted. BIll later admitted that the "Banquet Staff" messed up.
    The only other thing that would make me hesitate recommending this site was the reservation staff--reservations were a disaster--they had people booked in the wrong rooms for the wrong nights at the wrong rates. For the most part, it got figured out by the big day. They hotel had recently reopened after a huge renovation, so I would hope by next year, those problems would have gotten ironed out.
