Mother of the Bride
The Minneapolis Marriott Southwest was the perfect venue for my daughters wedding reception. From the moment we began planning, the event team led by Lisa was prompt, detailed, and incredibly organized. They guided us through every step of the process, helping us consider important details we hadn't thought of. On the day of our wedding, the reception was perfect thanks to all of our meticulous planning. The ballroom was beautifully decorated and spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our 300 guests. The food and service were exceptional, and our guests raved about the entire evening. We are so grateful to the Marriott team for helping make my daughters special day truly perfect!
Wedding Ceremony and Reception
On Oct. 11th, we had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Marriott Southwest, and Lisa and staff were amazing, to say the least. They went above and beyond what we had pictured what that day would be like. The ceremony and reception had zero issue, which is very surprising, and the staff was very accommodating to any request on that day to any minor changes which made it continue seamlessly. I would highly recommend this place for any couples looking for a very affordable place to hold their ceremony and or reception at.
