Budget-If you are looking for a downtown wedding do yourself a favor and look into the Millennium Hotel. I did my research and checked out every other hotel/downtown location and most were out of my price range, even after trying to negotiate. I visited the Millennium and thought the Grand Ballroom would be out of my price range too, but I gave them my budget and to their credit they matched it
Personalization-They are so willing to work with you-we completely customized our food and beverage menu to fit our tastes!!
Rehearsal-Rehearsed in the Grand Ballroom which was nice. As for the dinner had our rehearsal dinner in Ventana's, their private restaurant on the top floor that overlooks the city, absolutely beautiful!
Day Of-their day of wedding team is was tremendous, everything was set exactly as I wanted. The Grand Ballroom is a stunning room-I mean simply beautiful. The food was unbelievable
Extrodianary People-everyone that works there went out of their way to be nice and to make sure it was the perfect wedding. From the Bellhop, Margin who was one of the sweetest people I've ever met, to the entire serving/bar staff-not a single person I encountered that didn't have a great attitude. I would be remiss if I didn't mention two people as going above and beyond - Ashley, you did a very good job getting everything organized and fielding my multiple late night emails of my clarifications and requests
Quantez-You are THE man. This guy is the definition of customer service and friendly-From the moment I walked in the building the day of the rehearsal until the moment I left the morning after my wedding-he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was on top of everything. Hell, he even taught me how to Dougie. Quantez you single handedly made our wedding experience that much better. Anna and I truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Summation-This place can be budget friendly if you are smart and they will still build your dream wedding

The hotel staff was awesome. We had to switch our contact person/planner in the middle of planning as the guy we were working with left the hotel, but we didn't lose any progress and the new person stepped in and continued with us through our wedding. It was beautiful and unique!

When we first booked, we booked with Connie, she was amazing and followed through on everything to a "T." She was truly a pleasure to work with. About half way through the planning, Connie went on medical leave. Once Lia became our contact, we started having communication issues. Lia was 110% on top of her game everytime we met, but she did make me feel extremely unimportant throughout the process and often never responded to my emails. I felt she disliked me from the get-go and I only wish the relationship could have been better and more solidified. When I took the matters to the GM he attended to my concerns, but never once apologized and made me feel inadequate. However, I do understand Lia was trying to cover her own position as well as Connie's during the time.

However, that being stated, there is a new event planner I met the night of our wedding named Keisha and she is lovely. Although we had slight communication errors, Lia 110% delivered exactly what I wanted and more. The ballroom was set up Beautifully, the ceremony space was perfect and the food was delicious. I had so many guests compliment me on the food, how beautiful the room was and also on the friendly wait staff. Despite the stress along the way, I don't regret having our wedding there at all. I believe some personalities just done mesh well. It was lovely, fun and classy all of the things I wanted for our special day. The suites provided were also great. I would definitely recommend the hotel venue (Grand Ballroom) to anyone looking for a downtown wedding.
