Julie and her team did such an amazing job bringing our wedding vision to life! She was more than willing to sit through as many meetings as we needed to discuss what we were looking for. Her team was able to create exactly what we were looking for and were extremely professional. When I saw our venue on our wedding day it took my breath away it was everything we hoped for and more.

We had our wedding at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest last month. The day of the event went smoothly, the staff working that day were wonderful, and for the most part everything was fine. I would not, however, recommend this venue to anyone because of the stress we went through during the planning process. Everything always seemed very scattered and disjointed. When we initially booked, I put my credit card on file for deposits, as required. When our second deposit was charged, I was also charged a separate $8,900 charge. I brought it up and they removed it, but then charged me the deposit I'd already paid again. They removed that charge as well. But, then other charges kept popping up on my credit card. I had a total of 6 incorrect charges totaling over $12,000 over a span of 2 weeks. I was constantly stressed and checking my credit card every day. The Marriott finally figured out what happened...my card was attached to someone else's folio/account. No one at the venue even noticed this until I brought it up. Essentially I was paying for someone else's wedding. It was all straightened out in the end and we were given a couple things for compensation, but we had to ask for something to be done. It was never offered and the people we spoke to did not seem to think it was a big deal at all. I asked for my credit card to be removed from their files and the rest of the payments were made in person at the Marriott to make sure it did not happen again. Over the next few months of planning, it just seemed like their team was very disjointed. Something that someone told us at our first meeting was contradicted by someone else. Something we were told over the phone was contradicted in an email. Small things like telling us someone would fill water pitchers for our centerpieces and then saying they'll have water pitchers in the room for us to fill ourselves. It was very confusing and stressful. The day of the wedding everyone was helpful and tried very hard to make our day special, but the two things we noticed were the lights were never dimmed in our reception room and the vegetables with our dinner were terrible. The vegetables on every plate were not the medley of vegetables we selected at our tasting. At the event, there was one white vegetable (we think it was turnips) that was undercooked, hard, and bitter. After giving this feedback to our coordinator after the wedding, the issue was downplayed and we were told there were 4 vegetables purchased for the event. It was as if they did not believe what we were telling them and tried to convince us otherwise/that we were wrong.Again, overall the wedding day went smoothly, but it was incredible because of the banquet staff, our other vendors, and family and friends. The planning issues tainted the entire experience for us and we will never get that back. The Minneapolis Marriott Northwest was difficult to work with and if I could do it again, I would choose a different venue.

We held my daughter and new son - in- law's wedding at the Marriott Northwest this weekend and we were so pleased! We started working with Virginia who changed jobs and Christina took over. She did a wonderful job. So many guests commented on how good their meal was. What a feat and accomplishment for the Marriott's staff who served over 400 meals right on time. We just simply could not be happier with our choice.

I went with this venue for two reasons 1) it was easy and convenient for my guests, and many of them would becoming from out of town 2) I valued the service level that they promised. They delivered well on this promise.My experience was great, the day of the event I hardly even noticed the staff and banquet captain, which tells me things went smoothly and that they handled small challenges without sharing the burden with the bride. This was much appreciated. There are a few reasons I don't give 5 starts. The first is that, I had a private food tasting, and it was helpful, but the presentation actually made me nervous about my decision to go with the venue. I assumed that for $32 you couldnt mess up a chicken dish, but there was no way I could serve that option to my guests. Additionally, there were issues with my guests booking a hotel block, I think it was because there were two weddings with the same/similar last names, but it still added stress to the preparation as guests contacted me to report the issue, multiple times. There were personnel changes in the month leading up to the day, which was stressful. And lastly, I think the venue and staff is actually equipped to provide a lot MORE in terms of service than a customer is aware of...I thought I had to set up the whole room, but someone advised that they usually do name cards, extra vases were on site, exactly the same as I had purchased in advance, and the redcoat app never did seem to work, but sure seemed like a great idea! None of these were huge issues, but they did add to the pressures leading up to wedding day.

Booking our wedding here was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the first consultation, the Marriott Northwest blew us away. They have weddings down to a science. The answer to every question is invariably \"yes\" and they have answers to every question you could think of. Virginia and the whole team made the entire day go off without a hitch. I never felt like the wedding planning process was overwhelming or confusing, because they were able to answer my questions easily, and in a timely manner. I actually thoroughly enjoyed the process! The price is incredibly reasonable, and we ended up under budget by the end of the whole thing. The venue is beautiful, the food was wonderful, and the staff was EXCELLENT. Even my guests were commenting on how lovely the staff at the hotel had been. Everyone kept raving on how organized they were and how smoothly the day went. I would highly recommend that anybody check this place out, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!

Everything was exactly how I always imagined it would be. The venue itself is quite beautiful, and all the food, from hors d'oeuvres to dessert, was delicious. I was able to book the cake (we did cupcakes) and table linens through them as well, so I didn't have to worry about paying those two additional vendors. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Minneapolis Marriott Northwest every time.

After reading through the other reviews for this hotel I'm rather hoping that this \"Cathy\" woman still works there and, if she does, I'm going to recommend that you ask to work exclusively with that woman. My fiancee and I met with another member of their events team to tour the spaces and discuss package details and we were not impressed. In fact, we were a bit miffed.\r\rFor starters, when the young woman met us in the lobby she greeted me, turned away as if to lead us off on our tour, and then found her sense and turned back to introduce herself to my fiancee. As the tour progressed she continued to only address me, and acted as if my fiancee was not even present. Whenever he'd ask a question she would turn to me with her reply. I know that it's common for the whole event to be thought of as \"the bride's big day,\" but we both found her behavior completely unacceptable.\r\rAt one point we posed some questions about how their pricing works and, not only was she completely unfamiliar with their packages and how they were structured - flat out lying about one of the packages because she just didn't understand what all it included (some digging on my end after the meeting got us the correct information), but she also nearly cut our meeting short while clearly implying she didn't think we'd be able to afford their venue.\r\rAll in all, though the ballrooms were gorgeous, the guest suites were beautifully appointed, and I had my heart set on the space since before we even walked through their doors, we were happy to take our business to a hotel that demonstrated better service standards while still offering the high-end amenities our guests would expect.

My husband and I were engaged in August 2012, and immediately started researching and visiting venues. I had previously been to the site for a company Christmas party, and after visiting at least 10 venues we happened to be able to get a showing here due to a cancellation. Before even meeting with the Sales/Catering Manager, my fiance said this IS the place. The food & beverage minimum fell within our budget, and the halls that we could use for our ceremony and reception were gorgeous without decorations... they had the perfect backdrop for a wedding scheme including any colors. The venue as a whole was unbelievable in our eyes, but what really sold us on the site was the Sales/Catering Manager - Cathy Dunn. She was amazing; she was so excited to be showing the hotel and going through all of the options in regards to food, drinks, etc. The menu, which included starters, salads, main dishes, and dessert options were incredibly delicious. Thanks to Cathy and her staff our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect. The staff that worked to coordinate things that day were extremely helpful and did everything in their power to ensure that the day went smoothly. We highly recommend the Marriott Minneapolis Northwest for everything from your rehearsal/groom's dinner, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception!

My husband and I were engaged in August 2012, and immediately started researching and visiting venues. I had previously been to the site for a company Christmas party, and after visiting at least 10 venues we happened to be able to get a showing here due to a cancellation. Before even meeting with the Sales/Catering Manager, my fiance said this IS the place.

My whole experience with this place was amazing. From the first meeting to the day of our reception I was treated with respect, kindness and most of all patience. The coordinators worked with me on every detail, even those I hadn't thought of. We had to change our reserved hall last minute due to a problem with the room we had reserved. They went above and beyond to make things perfect for us. The food was amazing. The staff during the reception was professional and very easy going. Everyone of our guests was so impressed with our reception. As I said in the title, I would use this place again for any event in a heartbeat.

Our reception was beautiful and everything I imagined it would be! The staff were very helpful and answered all my questions as they arose. My only complaint is that the block of rooms held for wedding guests expired a month before the wedding. I felt like that was really early and that the rooms should have been held longer. Other than that, we were very satisfied.

The Northland Inn was an excellent venue for our wedding ceremony and reception in September 2011. I would not hesitate to do business with them again.\rThe location has spacious ballrooms and a wide variety of meeting rooms to use. It is attached to the hotel which is very convenient for guests. We had an issue with our hotel block being released too soon, but when working with our catering manager, we were able to resolve the issue and be accommodated as necessary. The rooms have dimly lit bathrooms but Jacuzzis and Sleep Number beds! They are currently undergoing a $24M renovation in the hotel and meeting facility area, which was unfortunate for our wedding to see the exterior under construction; however, that did not affect our wedding at all.\rI cannot say enough about their SERVICE - the catering staff, catering manager, and event sales manager – they were all absolutely FABULOUS to work with! Their catering manager has a lot of experience and works hard to create the perfect day with you. She has helpful insight backed by experience and is pleasant to work with. She and her staff think of everything – e.g. I was asked during dinner by one of the catering staff if I would like her to put aside some of our signature drink because she noticed I was drinking it and there was only a little left. And at one point we weren’t sure if the photographer had enough light for his taping, so the staff called me in to see the difference in lighting and let me make the decision instead of changing the way we had the day set up. The staff was very considerate, responsive, helpful, and not obtrusive. The catering manager coordinated all of our wedding vendors, timing of arrival, set up, photography strategy, etc. And our day ran like clockwork.\rOther than that, there were only minor issues with timing of set up, etc. and none of the issues were make or break items. It all worked out and in the end, I would do it all over again at Northland Inn.\rThe price was reasonable – we had shopped around and the value at the Northland Inn was excellent relative to other industry competitors since Northland Inn has many perks that other places do not! Of course, we always wish the prices were less than we end up paying… but all in all, it was a good value. I’m not sure if the renovation will increase prices or not, but we thought they were reasonable at the time.
