The Marriott Waterfront exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Katharine, our coordinator, went above and beyond. The food was incredible. The accomodations (bridal suite as well as rooms for our guests) were superb. The entire event was perfect thnaks to their excellent staff.

The BMW did a fantastic job hosting our wedding for 245 and brunch the following morning for about 100. They are not cheap to be sure, but they are well worth the cost. This is a top quality, elite venue that helped make a special day even more special. I'm especially grateful to Katharine Ronald, our event manager. She was relentless, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Whatever I wanted she made happen. We worried e hotel would be too anonymous a location to feel intimate and unique. We were wrong. Thanks to Katharine and her team, it was a perfect event.

This hotel was more than accomodating when it came to my food allergies. However, I think that they made everything go very smooth, but I did pay a pretty penny for that perfection.

Our reception at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront was beautiful and everything we wanted. There were some conflict issues with another group's event on the same day that would have caused distraction from our wedding, but the personnel at the Marriott Waterfront handled things professionally and promptly and was able to work things out. Our day was all we dreamed of. A big THANK YOU to Katharine Ronald, the Event Coordinator at the Marriott. You did an amazing job and we sincerely thank you for it.

I was very disappointed with the Baltimore Marriot Waterfront. The Marriott is a very large hotel, and there are many weddings that occur on the same day there, which I understood when I booked this venue. My wedding planner specifically promised me, however, that there would be no overlapping in wedding times. However, during my cocktail hour, another bride, bridal party, and the other weddings guests were walking through my cocktail hour. Imagine just saying your vows and walking out to greet your guests to find people from another wedding walking through and eating your food and ordering drinks from your bar. When I brought this to the attention of the wedding planner, she told me that this was not true because she did not see it. It is pretty embarrassing to have your guests tell the bridesmaids from another wedding to stop eating our wedding's food. Everyone wants their wedding to be special and unique, and this made my experience at the Marriott a rather unfortunate one. When I told the Marriott about this situation, their response was, "We will keep it in mind for next time". Future events at the Marriott were not my concern, and this did nothing to mend my situation. Also, there were specific things that were part of my wedding package that were not provided during my reception, such as the GOBO lighting with our names on it. If I am paying for a package, I expect to receive everything I pay for. This was not the case, and I was not reimbursed for this cost. I would not recommend the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront as a wedding venue.

My husband and I spent our wedding night at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront. Our room was extremely clean, the staff was friendly and the view was breathtaking.

I cannot say enough good things about everyone at the Marriott. They were a breeze to work with, my coordinator was extremely helpful, and all my guests were impressed. My only complaint was the length of time that it took to serve dinner: we entered the ballroom around 5:30 and entrees were still being brought out at close to 7. We ended up extending the bar and band for an extra hour because we had such little time for dancing by the time dinner was served. A number of guests who needed to leave earlier (parents with kids, the priest, etc.) had already left by the time the cake was served. Otherwise though, they were great!

There are not enough words to describe how great a job the Marriott did with our wedding. The event went exactly as we planned it. Our wedding coordinator - Jessica - did an absolutely fantastic job. She made sure that all of the details were planned for and ensured that the whole event went off without a hitch. All the hotel staff -- front desk, security, servers, valet, belldesk were ALL unbelieveable and issued the top level service. The waitstaff for the reception was extremely professional and the food was awesome! All of our guests are still talking about how great the service and the food was. One of the best parts of the whole experience was the suite that came as a part of the package. The view of Baltimore City was absolutely breathtaking. During the wedding, the hotel staff decorated the room with rose petals and provided cookies and champagne. It was a great surprise to end our perfect evening.

The experience could not have been better. This is a full service hotel with a very professional, knowledgeable and supportive staff who bent over backwards to make sure that the night of our wedding was special. They have their own event planners who ensured that the coordination of vendors and other minutiae was taken care of so that there was nothing for us to worry about. The food was AMAZING. If I had to do it over again, 10 times out of 10, I would choose this venue and I am not easy to impress.

The staff at the hotel is very accommodating. They are very willing to work with special requests, we had a photo booth set up in the lobby area. There were a few hiccups (to be expected) during the day, overall they did an excellent job at responding to and correcting issues. They especially made an effort the day of and during the reception to check if the groom and I needed anything. The food was excellent, the room we used (Waterview ballroom) is very nice, located on a separate level from the main ballrooms. Its in an awesome location in the Inner Harbor, there are plenty of restaurants, bars, and things to do within walking distance. Overall a truly wonderful experience.

My husband and I, along with our daughter and son in law, chose the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront for their wedding because of the physical beauty of the property. But what we never realized was the importance of the staff in planning all of this. The hotel has 3 levels of wedding packages. We chose the highest level and were amazed at the inclusions for the price. Ashley Judy was our contact at the hotel. Never once did she not respond to an email or phone message immediately. She was on top of things from beginning to end in the most professional and efficient manner. When she had emergency surgery the week of the wedding, I STILL heard from her from the hospital!!!!! The hotel tended to all of our needs from the smallest detail to the largest. As a matter of fact, when we were shown the ballroom during the cocktail hour, a waiter followed us to get us drinks while we took in the beauty of the decorated ballroom (before the guests ). The food was amazing, the bridal suite was perfect for day of the wedding preparations and the rooms for our guests were Four Seasons quality. I cannot think of one thing that needed improvement. When we look back at that day, we smile knowing we would not change a thing and it was, for us, the perfect wedding!

I have been to and had many friend who got married so when I was planning my wedding I was so scared of what was to come. The people at the Marriott helped in every way possible. There were no hidden costs like many vendors and they were helpful with ideas. the event coordinator ended up feeling like a part of tmy wedding party.

Sandy Palacorolla was our event manager for the BMW hotel, and she was very attentive to our needs throughout the planning process. The BMW hotel was simply gorgeous, and our room was even more stunning (Waterview Ballroom) that we thought it would be. The food was outstanding, the pastry chef made an amazing cake, and every member of the staff for our event was of the utmost professionalism. Our package included a bridal suite the night of the wedding, and it was larger than our apartment.The cost for our reception was certainly significant, but you get what you pay for, and we feel that we received excellent value for our money. I would recommend BMW hotel to anyone--we got a night we'll never forget!
