Maria,
From the bottom of our dancing toes to the tops of our new year's eve tiaras, thank you for making yesterday an absolutely epic, over the top fun, joy and happy tear-filled celebration of love. We had the most wonderful time, and that is because you and the entire John Marshall staff made sure that we, and all of our guests, were taken care of at every single step.
Happy New Year! We are so grateful for you!

I couldn't let another day pass without letting you know how thankful I am for making the wedding of my dreams a reality. Everything was incredible - the food, venue, event flow, staff, you name it - it was perfect! Kimie sent over a preview gallery and I am just in awe at how amazing the venue photographed. The food was divine - I received many compliments on the cocktail hour offering and of course, the dinner. Your staff went above and beyond to ensure we had smooth service throughout the event - they were so kind and accommodating.
I also want to give a special shoutout to you, Maria. You were an absolute delight to work with. Every question was answered promptly and thoroughly, you always had a friendly demeanor and you never seemed too busy to talk to me, despite what I know must be a very full schedule. You made me feel like I was your only bride and that I was the most important event. Working in the industry, I know how stressful things can be but you never let it show. Instead, you lead with kindness and your passion shows through in everything you do. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know you and for you to have been such a big part of my special day.

The best wedding venue in RVA! I can not say enough about our daughter’s wedding reception at the John Marshall Ballrooms. Everything was fantastic! From the communications with Maria and Tyler, the food, the wait staff, the set up of the ballroom- I could go on. I have not one complaint about the evening - everything was wonderful! Thank you so much to all of you for making this special occasion just perfect!
Again - thank you for everything!

THANK YOU so much for everything you did for us and our wedding as soon as I possibly could! I truly cannot thank you all enough, it was absolutely beautiful! The catering team was ON IT regarding getting food out in a timely fashion, I rarely work a wedding where the food gets out on schedule but I don't think I have ever worked one where the food got out ahead of schedule, that was truly amazing!! Everyone has kept raving about how beautiful the venue was and how it was exactly what they pictured for a 'Kristy wedding' so that was a great feeling lol. But seriously, you two made it so easy to plan and I appreciate all your help planning and accommodating my requests and changes!
Thank you again for everything!
Kristy 3.12.22

We had a wonderful wedding experience with the John Marshall. Maria and Tyler are phenomenal at their jobs. They knew what questions to ask exactly when they should be asked. Maria truly loves a wedding- and her work ethic shows because of it. We had prompt email contact, numerous revisions of contracts and total understanding as our guest numbers shifted. Maria calls her clients “her kids” because that’s the level of service you are getting. When we had a security issue, she pulled through again. We requested a queso fountain; they secured a company. So many things that just made our planning easier! The value for money here is also incredible. The catering is amazing. And catering staff- just everything. We cannot recommend this place more! Thank you all SO much!
Julie & Nathan 8.7.21
I wanted to send you an email to thank you for all of the amazing work you and the rest of your team put into our wedding. I have gotten SO many compliments from wedding guests about everything. I know it wasn't easy coming into this at the beginning of the year and juggling 2 brides on the same day, but you really handled it with grace. I felt like you were always there to make sure things were going smoothly, and that you were equally focused on both of us. Thank you for being so flexible with us and for helping me reschedule for the 4th time; I couldn't have done it without you. Michael gave you so many compliments after the wedding with how amazing everything was and how organized you were. If there is anything I can do to review you or the John Marshall please let me know. Again, thank you so so much Maria.
Claire & Michael 8.13.21
Working with the John Marshall staff was an excellent experience! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was difficult, but the John Marshall staff made everything so much easier. Maria was amazing! She took over in the middle of the planning process and made sure we had everything that we desired. She was so easy to work with and made the process seamless.
On our wedding day, the staff was absolutely amazing! They made sure that we had no concerns. We would highly recommend couples utilize this historic venue. It is beautiful inside and out. The John Marshall staff made our wedding a day that we will never forget!
Brittany & Ja'Michael 5.7.21
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate your flexibility and all of your help while we dealt with the craziness that surrounded our wedding celebration!

Same feedback as last time: THANK YOU! EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!` Once again, it was a pleasure working w/ you and your team and it is appreciated more than you know. Our captain even boxed 4 dinners for me to take home to my family b/c I've been gone since Friday and it was an added pleasure to go home and enjoy a meal w/ them that I didn't have to cook! Cindy, YPO 2.14.20

I wanted to thank you so much for an amazing event. My parents, my grandma, and my family could not stop commenting how amazing the service was and how beautiful the room was. I could not say enough good things about you guys if someone were to approach me about the JM Ballrooms. The way the staff was super attentive, the way the staff was taking care of the elderly, and the whole coordination of everything was so impressive. I got numerous texts saying "best wedding of the year" from friends. Thank you for all you guys did for us. It was such a special day. I cannot believe it is over. I looked up and bam, it was down to the final hour. Such a fun time with a big group of family and friends. Austin & Krista 11.19.19
Thank you for helping us put our vision together. We couldn't have done it without you, the staff, and the beautiful venue. Laureen & Ben 11.11.19
We can't thank you enough for the wonderful experience we had working with you, The John Marshall and Homemades by Suzanne! You definitely made our day stress-free, memorable and so special. You also saved the day when you came around the corner with the appetizer plate for B. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Maddie & B 11.7.19
We just wanted to thank you for the kind words - it actually was stressful planning from across the country, but you helped tremendously! You are so detailed oriented and you were always super responsive! So thank YOU! Especially, for graciously handling so many changes over the months and last minute requests... We received so many compliments about the venue and the catering! We picked the JM for a reason and we were so happy with the stunning setting and the catering from Homemade by Suzannes! It is hard to satisfy 300 people, especially with so many different cultural taste preferences, but the Hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, and main courses were a hit! Thank you again for packing the dinners for us - it was so enjoyable to eat that the morning after in our relaxing guest suite. The bar and bartenders were also amazing! Thank you for the additional Hennessy bottles as well. The Old Fashioneds and Bahama Mamas were SO popular! We can't thank you, your staff, and the rest of your team enough for everything, Amy! We are grateful to have chosen Hotel John Marshall to make these memories we will cherish forever! Brian & Amanda 11.5.19
Thank you SO MUCH for everything!!! It was such an amazing day and because of all of the help from you and everyone at the John Marshall, everything was executed flawlessly! We received multiple compliments from our guests about the friendly staff and the gorgeous venue. We really can’t thank you enough for answering all of our questions and being more then helpful during the whole wedding planning process!
Thank you again. We truly had the perfect wedding day. Meg & Tommy 10.29.19
Thank you for making our wedding day so special & for all of the coordinating in between! We had a blast, the food was amazing, & the wait service was impeccable! Thank you for always being so responsive to all of our many questions! Everything was perfect on our wedding day thanks to the effort of your team, Heather, and our vendors! The special touches really meant a lot, including the emergency mouthwash you let me borrow! Good luck with all of your future weddings & thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Julia & Clint 10.25.19
The TJHS Reunion Committee can’t thank you, the Homemades by Suzanne team, and the John Marshall team for everything you all did to make the start of our reunion Friday evening come together. In a short period of time you were so helpful and gracious with all of our requests.
We received many compliments from the alumni on how much they enjoyed Friday evening and that the John Marshall was the perfect venue.
Thank you again & we look forward to lunches & another reunion evening in the future. 55th! - 10.16.19 Dale, Thomas Jefferson 50th Reunion
The wedding was indeed lovely and you were a huge part of making that happen. From the very first time we met with you, you made yourself available for all of our random questions, menu changes and shifting head counts, and you did it with patience and grace. Everyone raved about the food, the service was stellar, your staff was efficient, polite and professional, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did to make Katherine's day so magical and memorable. I would (and will!) recommend The John Marshall/Suzanne's -- and especially you! -- to anyone who will listen because our experience was nothing short of fabulous. I wish you all the best and we'll miss our entire team now that the wedding is over. You all started to feel like family! Take care and thanks again, so much! Cathy 10.8.19

Michael and I are enjoying being newlyweds and are loving that fact that 3 months later, our family and friends are still raving about the wonderful time they had at our wedding! Once again, we could not have had a better wedding without you and your staff and the wonderful vendors we chose! J&M 8.12.19
Just a quick note to again thank you for all you did to make our wedding perfect (and easy!). Your communication was exceptional and we really felt we had a partner in you to ensure all went well. The guest apartment was a perfect space for the day and we’ll likely look to come and stay when we celebrate anniversary’s! You will always remain close in our thoughts as we think about our wedding day.
With much thanks and appreciation, Sloan and Ben Verlander 7.23.19

It was incredible to be able to plan a wedding with everyone at Homemades by Suzanne and the JM Ballrooms, but most of all with you. The ballroom is beautiful and all of the staff were so kind and attentive, but we would have cheated ourselves out of a phenomenal wedding if we worked with anyone other than you. Sydney and I were so stressed during our planning, but somehow after every time we met with you we couldn't understand what there was to be stressed about. It's a special thing to meet someone so impossibly competent at their job, but infinitely rarer to have the good fortune that such a person arranges your wedding. It was a blessing to meet and work with you when we did. Which we will be forever grateful for. - Sydney & Scot 2.4.19
Thank you for helping to make our daughter's wedding reception a great success. You were so helpful right from the beginning with suggestions for ceremony sites, DJ, and flowers. I know it was difficult with an out-of state bride but you made it come together beautifully. We have had many wonderful comments on the food and your awesome staff. Thank you again, we truly appreciate you! - Hal & Linda Johnson 1.28.19
Thank you so much, and thanks for being great throughout the entire process. Everything was so perfect and the JM staff was so impressive! We appreciate everything! - MK & Ryan 1.25.19
Thank you so much for making our wedding night absolutely perfect. The John Marshall looked beautiful, the food was amazing, and everyone had an amazing time. Your dedication to our day did not go unnoticed. You are amazing at your job and we were so lucky for you to be a part of our day! Thanks for everything! Love, Carle & Anthony 1.18.19
We all had a wonderful wedding at the John Marshall! It was the perfect place to celebrate the marriage of Amanda & Richard. Everything was beautifully decorated, the food & service was excellent, all of my family and friends enjoyed themselves very much. Thank you for leading Amanda & I through all of the planning and decision making. We were going into this blind, but everything came together for a memorable day! I will definitely recommend the John Marshall for people looking to hold an event in the Richmond area! - Jackie 12.31.18
The staff loved the party. Everyone had a great time, and they loved the food and signature cocktails! Thank you for all of your help and support. - Keiter 12.5.18
Thank you so much for everything. For answering every one of my 800 emails, to running around Richmond looking for a bank with a notary. I appreciate you so much, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I absolutely loved the Christmas decorations, it was gorgeous. The food was delicious, all of my guests commented on how tasty everything was. Thank you again for being so patient and kind. - Ashley 12.5.18
The party was an overwhelming success!!! Thank you – and your team - so very much!! - Allen & Allen 12.5.18
Thank you again for all of your work in making our wedding a beautiful day. Everyone was just blown away by how beautiful the space was and how efficiently the whole wedding proceeded. It's been such a smooth process working with you and you have been so accommodating to me and my family. It was all fantastic-we had a great time. And can I also say specifically the concierge was so friendly and helpful as well as the wait staff. I know one of the ladies came to the rescue for Jerrod's bow tie and of course the gentleman who took care of my parents' table during the reception. Thank you so much! I will definitely recommend the venue to others! - 11.16.18 Dana & Jerrod
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and staff, it was just so perfect. Thanks again!! - Claudia & Boomer 10.22.18

Just wanted to thank you so much for the outstanding job you and your entire staff did Saturday! Everything was absolutely wonderful! Extra thank you to you for driving Sarah and Jack to the Jefferson. That was so kind of you! - Robertson 10.2.18
Again, thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day a huge success, I had some much fun and received so many compliments! - Katreta & Edu 9.13.18
We want to thank you, Amy! We returned yesterday but could not stop thinking about how perfect the day was. There was nothing you all could have done better. Everything was better then we could have imagined. Each meeting we had with you put us more and more at ease. The entire staff at the John Marshall Ballrooms and Homemades by Suzanne were so accommodating and professional. I would recommend The John Marshall Ballrooms to anyone. We felt so secure in your care. You are so great at what you do! A million thanks! - Hailey and Jordan 8.20.18
The wedding reception was absolute perfection! I can't tell you how many people came up to me to say it was the most beautiful and fun reception they had ever attended. It truly was. Between the magnificent flowers, gorgeous table settings and the special lighting the room was absolutely magical. The food was outstanding and the best I've ever had at a wedding. The mint juleps were the absolute best and I loved how they were served in those little cups. Cocktail hour was fabulous. Your staff was superb and so professional. Everything was just absolutely perfect. Everyone danced the entire time, young and old and had a blast. The lobby was the ultimate setting for the pictures beforehand. That bridal suite was awesome for hair and makeup and we were there from 9-3 enjoying breakfast, lunch, a champagne toast and getting ready. The spaciousness of those rooms was great and accommodated the hair and makeup people so well. Everything you had set up was great- the table for the seating cards, the guest book, the extra appetizer table , the koozies and matches, all Perfect. I truly can not think of one thing that I would have changed. I can't imagine any place more perfect or more elegant with better food and service than the John Marshall Ballrooms.
As far as you go , you are a real professional at the top of your profession. You made the entire process so easy and your immediate response to every question was so impressive. We never worried once about the reception with you at the helm. I can't imagine anyone doing it as well nor a more beautiful venue. Thank you so much for everything. I can't give you enough accolades for how this turned out. With much gratitude, - Debbie (mom) & Liz (Bride) 8.14.18
Thank you! Our family absolutely loved every aspect of the wedding. It was a perfect venue, food and staff. Hailey said it was the best wedding she has ever been to and as parents that is all you hope for for your daughter!!! You are amazing! We so appreciated your professionalism! - Joyce V (MOB) 8.6.18
Saturday night was perfect! Thank you so much for everything, helping us plan over the past year and executing a perfect night.

The John Marshall was such an amazing experience. Everything was perfect! The food was incredible and everything went as smooth as it possibly could! Thank you for everything. We wouldn’t have had such an amazing day without all of your help and cooperation! - Carle & Anthony 7.30.18
We just made it back yesterday and are still reeling over our amazing wedding weekend! I am so grateful to you all for helping make it our dream day. Everything went so smoothly and was exactly what I pictured. Thank you all so much! You all have a rave review coming from us and I’m looking forward to sharing it (once I formally sit down to write it 😂). It was truly a dream to work with you all and celebrate our marriage at your beautiful venue. Thank you all so much, - Christina & David 7.25.18
we have been recovering from our beautiful wedding! Everything was absolutely worth the stress :). Not only were you incredibly available and helpful during the planning process, but all of the staff were so kind and considerate on our wedding day as well! We really appreciate all that you did for us, including responding to ALL of our questions. I absolutely made the right choice picking the John Marshall Ballrooms for our wedding - it was perfect! - Melissa & Marquese 6.18.18
You and your colleagues did a fabulous job and all the guests had high praise for the reception. Thank you for everything. - FOB Melissa & Marquese 6.13.18
Last Night was EPIC! Thanks for helping my vision and dreams come through.
- Téija & Brian 5.29.18
We couldn't have been happier with Saturday. It was perfect from beginning to end!! You and the staff were fantastic. The leftover food packaging was so easy to either freeze or package up for the newlyweds. Shared some with Lindsay's sister and her husband too! I would love to write a review for the John Marshall Ballrooms. Thank you, thank you, thank you, - Teagues 4.10.18
I could not have imagined a better day! Thank you for everything! I will recommend your venue and service to anyone and everyone. I seriously cannot thank you enough for all that you did for us. We are currently in Italy and having an amazing honeymoon. - Faith & Brittany 4.10.18
Thank you SO much for everything you did to make our wedding day incredible! We can’t thank you enough because it was the best day of our lives.

Thank you so much for all of your help with our Live Your Dash Luncheon. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate how easy you are to work with! We received so many compliments on the food. The consensus was it was the best yet! Thank you! The staff is always so, so pleasant and accommodating. We try to thank them that day as much as we can, but I also just wanted to pass it along to you how amazing they are each year. I truly feel like they go above and beyond. Again, thank you so much for your help in making this event another success. We receive so many compliments on how beautiful the space is and are asked many times throughout the year why we keep going back - and I honestly can say that not only does the space fit our needs so well, it's within budget, the food is good, etc - but it's largely due to how easy you all are to work with. Allison, - Full Circle 3.27.18
Thank you SO SO VERY MUCH. Ya’ll are amazing at what you do! we will be back to visit BECAUSE YA’LL rock!!!!!!!!!!! I am beyond happy with the experience there. - Kandice 3.26.18
We received excellent feedback from our guests and volunteers. We received many compliments on the food. People are still raving about how tasty the food was and how great the staff were that night. Also, people commented on the venue and how beautiful it is. The location was a huge hit this year. I will say that one plus was that the staff was extremely helpful from the moment we started to load in until we were packing to leave. There was no job too big or small for Them to tackle. We truly enjoyed working with you and your team. - National Kidney Foundation 3.23.18
Thank you SO much for all your help and hard work in making our wedding day more perfect that we had ever imagined! In the end, I think the smaller candles looked even better anyway! Thanks for your quick thinking and for helping us out with the votives. I also loved how you set up the cupcakes, it was gorgeous! We have heard so much excellent feedback about the entire evening (mostly the food!) and couldn't be happier that we had our wedding there. Take care & Thanks Again! - Kendall & Trevor 3.9.18
Thank you for your amazing work on Darrius & I special day! Your time and efforts are appreciated. Your service is unmatched! Fantastic execution! Here’s to a future of making couples as happy as you’ve made us!! All the best, - Darrius & Nikki Walker

The bride and groom enjoyed a late night snack and we had some leftovers yesterday afternoon. You and your staff are so professional and really work hard to make everything go smoothly.

a quick note and tell you how pleased we were with every aspect of the reception, the facility and the staff. The food was outstanding – we heard that from so many guests. Hot and delicious – surprisingly good for a reception…many many complements. Especially loved the fried oyster on cracker appetizer and ham biscuits. The ballroom was stunning (pictures are unbelievable), very comfortable and perfectly laid out for having a lot of fun. I loved having cocktails in the lobby for the first hour – all of it was perfectly set up with wonderful staff support. Very cool to then open the doors to the ballroom.

A belated note of thanks to you and the John Marshall team for your wonderful support in hosting the ASK 40th Anniversary Celebration! I’ve wanted to let you know how grateful we are. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and flow from the ballrooms – one guest said they were married there 20 years ago and hadn’t been back, so they enjoyed reminiscing. The spirit and buzz of the crowd was truly amazing, and I attribute that to the JM’s setting.
To say the night was a success would be an understatement. We raised Double what our auction normally sees to support ASK’s kids and families which comes at a critical time as the fall was a tough one. The ASK Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic at the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU averages 1-2 diagnoses a week but we saw 2-3 children being diagnosed, The event’s proceeds will go the distance in helping to make life better for these kids and their families. ASK Childhood Cancer Found. 3.19.2016
I just want to start by saying thank you so much for everything you did to assist in the planning and coordination of our wedding.

The venue was very nice, the bar set-up was well done, and the meal was excellent. I would rate it as one of the best VMI dinner events I have attended, and, believe me, in my 38 years working at the “I”, I attended a “few.” You guys did a wonderful job. 9.22.15 VMI

From day 1, Lauren and I were incredibly grateful for your work and assistance in helping us create the most wonderful day of our lives. Your efforts to help us organize our event were crucial. Your assistance in the process made things easier and less stressful then we imagine it could have been. On the day of the event; the staff, including Hunter (who was just delightful) and all the service employees were absolutely amazing. Their pleasant and genuine interactions with our guests as well as ourselves were both noticed and appreciated by all. We have heard nothing but raves of our wedding from all sides of the party, our families and friends loved every bit of the facility and services. By having such a wonderful and pleasant staff, the John Marshall Ballrooms helped to facilitate a much more relaxed and fun environment, one for which even better and longer lasting memories were created. Both the John Marshall Ballrooms and Homemade by Suzanne delivered the dream wedding that we and our families will never forget. Thank you again, we wish you and the John Marshall nothing but continued success. William 12.22.14
I just wanted to say 'Thank You' again for everything on & leading up to December 6! We absolutely loved everything about our reception & you & the staff made it all happen so smoothly!

I just wanted to send a quick email to say “THANK YOU!” to you and the staff at The John Marshall Ballrooms/Homemade’s by Suzanne. Everyone is talking about how much they enjoyed themselves. It was great to see everyone having a good time. Everyone was so helpful (from getting the dance floor removed and extra high tops added) and thoughtful (to making sure that those of us “working” were still able to sample all of the yummy foods). Please pass on my appreciation to all of the staff for all of their hard work late into the night. You all are top notch!! TS 12.15.14

Thank you and Jamie so much for all your hard work this past Saturday! It was a great event, and I appreciate you being so accommodating to our group. Lane, American Cancer Society CURE by Design 11.8.14
Just wanted to thank you and the staff of the John Marshall for making our daughter's wedding this past Saturday a truly magical occasion. We could not have picked a more beautiful location and the food was absolutely delicious (wish I had more of those desserts right now)!! Our guests have been raving about how beautiful the venue is and how elegant the wedding was. It looked to me like it could have been out of a bridal magazine! Thank you also for making yourself available to us these past several months for meetings, for helping us plan a great menu, and especially for being patient with our many questions. The bridal suite was perfect for our large wedding party and it made for a very comfortable and relaxing pre-wedding day. When the band stopped at midnight, it seemed like the night was just beginning for many of us, so this is a good sign that everyone was enjoying themselves. This is what we had hoped for. Thank you again for everything. It was such a pleasure working with you!! Amy U. 10.18.14
THANK YOU! Our guests had a fantastic time at Friday's event. Everything seemed very seamless, including valet, which is always a concern with us. The thing that seemed to stick out the most (aside from the food, which everyone raved about!) was the history of the venue itself. All of our older alumni and donors had stories about the time that the dean had taken them to the John Marshall for dinner, or a special dance or meeting they had been to in the same rooms we were in on Friday. It was very nostalgic for many of them. I'm hoping we'll be able to host our event there next year as well! I will certainly keep you posted about that. Thanks again, and please share my many thanks with your team. Cristine 10.17.14
Beau and I want to thank you both and all of the JM staff for making our wedding an unforgettable and special evening. From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate all that was done to make it so special. Beau & Mirna 9.13.14

Thanks Amy!!! The wedding day couldn't have gone any better - it truly was our picture-perfect wedding and couldn't be happier! From the setup to the food to the service and to all the little details - everything was awesome and made for the wedding of our dreams! We want to give an extra special thanks to you and Jamie for making sure everything was set up perfectly and ensuring everything ran smoothly as the night progressed. Hope you had at least half as much fun as we did! Thanks again and it was a pleasure working with you as well!

I'm delayed in saying thank you so much for your support of our 4th Annual Garden Party. It was a beautiful evening and you and your team were so accommodating. We've received great feedback from our guests (on both venue and food) and the JMB proved to be the perfect venue for our Great Gatsby theme. Thanks again for a great event, Amy. Kelly, ADA 6/6/14
I thought it went really well….the staff was wonderful…it was a huge party and that’s what Carrie and Josh wanted…for everyone to have a good time. Jamie kept it together for us…I hope she didn’t find us too demanding…she kept me calm as I (like most MOB’s) was having a fair amount of anxiety.The bride’s room was great…everyone had such a good time. Carrie remained very calm/relaxed all day….I loved the bride’s room…what a special treat. As a venue, I would highly recommend the JM. It’s beautiful…the staff is excellent. I feel really good about our choice. Thanks for all your answers, suggestions, and support throughout the process. Amy, you were priceless.
