    Fantastic with the planning through the recpetion!

    We want to share the fantastic experience we had in planning and having our daughter’s wedding recently at the Hartford Marriott Downtown. From our first meeting through all the planning, the details of the ceremony and reception, Lauren Pastoreck, the wedding planner at the Marriott, was extremely helpful, professional, knowledgeable and fun to work with. She was also helpful in coordinating with our vendors and with so many helpful tips. The Marriott itself is beautiful with lovely views of downtown Hartford and all our guests seemed to be very comfortable and happy there. The staff was quite helpful and kind, as well. We highly recommend!!

    Amazing experience overall having our wedding here!

    The Hartford Marriott is a hidden gem! Beautiful spot to have a wedding, the staff are wonderful and the hotel is clean and updated and has so much to offer for guests. Lauren was great to work with and so helpful and responsive. My husband and I could not have picked a better spot to have our wedding ceremony and reception. We seriously cannot say enough good things about our overall experience planning and having our wedding here.

    Amazing wedding weekend experience!

    What a weekend! Lauren & the Marriott Team put on an amazing wedding for us. We got many compliments about the food and portion sizes. Lauren had many ideas and let us get creative about the menus and coordinated with the vendors I hired. We held an after party in the Vivo restaurant that was a huge hit and was convenient for all of our events to be in one place. Lauren took care of me and my family throughout the busy reception and kept us on schedule. I felt confident that Lauren had all of the pieces of our wedding handled on the day! Lauren and the Marriott team put together the perfect celebration for us.

    Host your wedding at Marriott Hartford Downtown

    Reasons to choose Marriott Hartford Downtown:
    1. Large banquet spaces that can easily accommodate 450 people.
    2. Several room configurations allow you to transform the room for any type of event.
    3. Great guest rooms and amenities.
    4. Most importantly, AMAZING Catering Sales Manager Kristin.

    We hosted three events for our 400+ person Indian wedding at the Marriott Hartford Downtown. Our decorator was able to execute our vision and completely transform the banquet hall for each event with limited restrictions. We had almost 200 guests staying at the venue and they were very satisfied with the ease of booking rooms at our room rate and the hotel accommodations. The main reason why we would recommend Marriott Hartford Downtown is because of Kristin. She made planning this wedding very easy because she was ALWAYS available. She was available by phone and she would respond to emails within 24 hours. Our vendors also commented on how easy it was to work with Kristin and her team. Kristin is so sweet and genuinely wants to help execute any vision.

    Kristin and her team did a fantastic job executing our Indian wedding and reception! Kristin was responsive, willing to go through every detail with me in excruciating detail (I was a very particular bride), and such a pleasure to work with! They were also flexible with providing us accommodations that we needed to help our wedding day go perfectly (e.g., holding rooms for the wedding party). We were very happy that we selected the Hartford Marriott Downtown as our wedding and reception venue.

    Kristin was amazing dealing with everything from helping put our centerpieces together to getting my sister quietly seated when she tried to walk into the ceremony after the procession had started. Having everything taken care of for us in one place was such a plus given that my now husband was moving from Ireland and we had to deal with planning a wedding in the midst of the move. After looking at multiple venues, we were sold on the Marriott's flexibility while still being beautiful.

    Jessa was really great and professional! She did all she could to make us happy and even went above and beyond. And even though she couldn't attend our event (her best friend was getting married) she put us in very good hands. The entire Marriott Staff was friendly, professional and catered to everything we asked for. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

    The team at the Hartford Marriott is astounding! Their event coordinator Jessa, was fabulous in making sure every detail I dreamed of for my wedding was a reality. She was professional and a pleasure to work with. Any question we had for her that she could immediately answer, but on the rare occasion that she couldnt answer, she got back to us in a very timely fashion! The staff that worked our event were wonderful as well. The food, the cake, and the room were all fabulous! I would recommend this event space to anyone looking for a fun, intelligent and professional team to work with!

    Jessa and Melissa were a pleasure to work with while reserving a block of rooms and hosting my brunch for my wedding. They were professional, flexible, and willing to accommodate our changing needs. I would highly recommend booking this hotel for your guests to stay while in Hartford for a wedding, or other event. The Vivo Restaurant and Crush lounge, both in the lobby, were great additions and really added to everyone's stay.

    Jessa Dorosh and the whole team at the Downtown Hartford Marriott in Hartford CT, were hands down the best team to work with from start to finish of our wedding. Everything was flawless from the tasting to the cake cutting.

    Jessa was phenomenal to work with for my wedding block. Her responsiveness, attention to detail and warm and reassuring personality made it very easy to reserve several rooms as well as a "next day" breakfast and "pre-wedding" events. The entire Marriott staff could not have been more helpful and I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you again Marriott for a job well done. You helped make my wedding weekend the best ever!

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Marriott Hartford Downtown on 12/29/12. We had an amazing experience throughout the entire process. Working with Jessa Dorosh was great- she is professional, fair, organized, and knowledgeable!! We had many guests coming in from out of town and especially loved having our reception in a hotel. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Vivo and continued the party after the reception at Crush. It was a worry-free evening and we credit much of that to Jessa and the Marriott staff. Over a year later and we still have family and friends commenting on the delicious food, fun atmosphere, and overall organization of the reception! We have absolutely no regrets!

    Marriott Hartford Downtown was wonderful and made our wedding planning and reception flawless. Everyone was so helpful throughout the planning process and the day of our wedding. It made the process very easy for me, my husband, and our families. The facility is beautiful and so easy to have guests stay right there. They were truly amazing and I would highly recommend them!

    My wedding at the Hartford Marriott Downtown was everything that I wanted and more. It was such a fun, great night with excellent food and service. My wedding coordinator, Michelle Ley always went beyond to ensure that my groom, Jeff and I were happy. The food was beyond good and was not the regular wedding food. I highly recommend the Mahi Mahi, it was our total favorite. The banquet room is beautiful and makes for an exceptional wedding. All of our guest have been telling us all week how much they loved the wedding and how great it was there at the Marriott. We then headed to Crush lounge, which was lots of fun. Many of our guests also stayed over and then my groom & I hosted a breakfast in the morning in a private room at Vivo restaurant, where the service was also wonderful.
    If you are looking for a upscale, memorable night the Hartford Marriott should be your choice. The bonus will be wonderful cocktail hour appetizers, food that is beyond your expectation and a wonderful coordinator.

    Wonderful experience. The Marriott did an outstanding job in all areas. From our planning coordinator, the wait staff, the ambiance of the renovated ballroom and reception area, the comfort of guest rooms - just an all around perfect location for such an important event in our lives!

    We had our wedding ceremony in nearby Wethersfield, and we reserved a block of rooms at a couple area hotels for out-of-town guests, all but two or three of whom chose to stay at the Marriott. It was perfect, for us and our guests--we were able to walk downtown to get dinner and meet up with everyone for a drink the night before the wedding. We also stayed in the hotel, and Jessa set us up in a room at the corner of the top floor. We hadn't asked for or expected that level of treatment, but it was a testament to the care and service that Jessa and everyone at the Marriott offered us.

    The Marriott was nice but I feel we had to jump through a lot of obstacles leading up to the big day. Because we were doing buffet style they gave e us a hard time about tasting our food before they served it at our wedding, my wedding party was not served as requested for dinner and the parking for the bride and groom was VERY expensive. I booked a suite for two night and we had to pay $23 each day! They also didn't make it clear that I needed $100 on my card for incidentals after paying them over $8k. Although they tried to make things right by offering the whole wedding party a toast of champagne it is still an experience I wish never happened. All in all the food was great!!
