Onsite Experts
Nothing says "stress reliever" quite like an amazing team of wedding pros and, lucky for you, hotels happen to have those built right in. We love sweet locales like The Westin Galleria Dallas and the JW Marriott Houston by the Galleria because they are always up to date with the latest trends in cuisine and décor - and are the first ones to jump at the chance to try something fun and new. Bonus points for their relationships with amazing vendors, which means you can def breathe easy when it comes to literally everything - from your cake to your flowers to your band.

One Location
We can all appreciate the beauty of celebrating in one locale, and hotels are a perfect choice if you want to give your guests the gift of convenience. Think rehearsal dinners, wedding brunches and in between get-togethers all happening in one place. The Renaissance Austin Hotel is one of our faves - we love all of the options when it comes to event spaces. That gorg outdoor gazebo basically had us at hello, and with 70,000 square feet of space, you know there are even more spots to obsess over. Not to mention the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa with its picture perfect oak groves and rolling hills.

Convenience
It's nice to find a spot that is one part gorgeous scenery and one part convenient locale and hotels like the W Dallas - Victory offer just that. Located in the heart of Dallas, your guests will be busy in a good way (think shopping and dining) and wowed by sweeping views of the city when it comes time to say those vows. And don't forget The St. Anthony, A Luxury Collection Hotel, San Antonio. Your guests can live it up at The Riverwalk and soak in the gorgeous decor later. It's a win-win.

Room for Everyone
We obviously love all things wedding, but what we don't love is sleeping on a fold out couch. (Seriously.) That's why we sort of breathe a sigh of relief anytime an invite comes our way with one of Marriott's 30 brands listed as the venue. We know that means a roomy, comfortable stay in a place like The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel or the Sheraton Austin Georgetown Hotel & Conference Center. And a special shout-out to space for everyone attending, so you don't have to shuttle back and forth between hotels to see everyone you know and love.
