The management team was extremely helpful, responsive, and professional. From the planning and logistic stages to the day of our wedding, we were impressed with how easy it was to work with them. They were also patient and accommodating with our questions. Our guests were also pleased with their stay at Crowne Plaza. The rooms were clean and the check-in/check-out process was organized and efficient. I highly recommend this venue for weddings, meetings, and events.

Our wedding at the Crowne Plaza was spectacular. They helped us every step of the way and the day could not have gone smoother. Every one of my guests enjoyed their food and even told us that this was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. They thought of every detail for us and at the end of the night, we were suprised with apple cider (since me and my husband do not drink) and chocolate strawberries in our bridal suite. So happy we chose to have our wedding here.

Make sure you talk to Ernalou because she helped us with so much more than just getting the venue ready and reserved but recommended us to Julia to decorate the banquet hall. Ernalou made the process as smoothly as she can. She is awesome to work with!
