Amazing experience

The Marshes venue was stunning, and the Brookstreet hotel was top notch. All of the staff, from the banquet team, to the bartenders, the front desk and even the shuttle pilot were absolutely professional and kind.

A beautiful venue with incredible service

The Marshes was the perfect venue for our wedding, and made planning and hosting a COVID era wedding much easier. The outdoor ceremony space and the indoor reception space were both beautiful and comfortable. The food was delicious, and the serving staff went above and beyond to create a seamless experience for our guests.

I would recommend The Marshes for any couple looking for good value for money at a beautiful location.

Great Wedding!

We visited many wedding venues and couldn't find the right one until the Marshes! It's absolutely beautiful and the staff is very professional. Able to accommodate several allergies and food restrictions while still serving delicious food.

Amazing Venue

With the assistance of the amazing Jenna Stokes we had the perfect wedding at The Marshes. Attentive to every detail and ensuring we were not overwhelmed, Jenna expertly guided us through the whole wedding experience, including a tasting months in advance of our special day. She was a real gift through the whole experience.
The day of the wedding we had Alberto caring for our and our guests every need, especially the food which was phenomenal. Of particular note about Alberto and his staff, my cake lady contacted them in advance and they made special provisions for the care of our cake. She relayed to us that they were exceptional to work with.
I need to make a special mention of Harry, one of the staff at The Marshes. We had some rain that day and then the threat of rain during the ceremony. Harry and his crew made sure everything was ready to go and even spent some time with me to reassure me that everything would be great and the weather would hold for us. I couldn't have been happier.
The Marshes was exceptional.

We had a rough experience at first with the Marshes Golf Course, however once we had a wedding coordinator that was committed 100%, we were so happy with the service. The evening was perfect, and everything went off without a hitch. The food was delicious and the staff was courteous and prompt with all our guests.
