Are you still looking for the perfect wedding venue?  This coming Sunday, February 8th, may be your lucky day!

Eighteen local Marriott and Renaissance hotels are opening their ballrooms for a huge open house event.  You don’t need to make an appointment; just visit any of the participating properties between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.!

And it gets better:  At each property you visit, you can enter to win one of four pretty amazing grand prizes:

We love working with Marriott properties:  They know how to take care of their special guests; and they do whatever it takes to make the bride, groom, guests, and even the vendors (love that!) comfortable and happy.  They offer beautiful spaces, and their chefs turn out some seriously tasty food.  They’re pros, and it shows. 

For a full list of participating properties and more details, check out the official invitation.  And if you’d like to learn more about any of the properties prior to Sunday, then you can submit an information request to as many or as few hotels as you like with this form.

We’ll be out there checking out a few of the newly renovated properties ourselves, so maybe we’ll see you there!
