Pooks Hill Marriott - Bethesda

Many couples want to stay away from hotels because they feel that they are not
customizable, they are ordinary locations, and they would just be 1 of 3 weddings happening in the same location.

Not true. Hotels are a wise choice for a number of reasons, and I want to share with you an amazing location that is right at our back door. The Pooks Hill Marriott, located in Bethesda is just minutes from the Beltway. It offers charm, tradition and elegance in one complete package.

With a dance floor, this property can accommodate up to 300 guests in two separated and stylized ballrooms. Each ballroom is located on separate and private wings, offering you and your guests’ private hallways and bathrooms so there is no need to worry about intermingling with others! No traveling required - with the cocktail hour just right across the hall from the ballrooms, or perhaps dress up the hallway; it makes it easy to have an onsite ceremony, offering your guests an all in one option.

Customize your menu to accompany the style and theme of your reception. The staff at the Pooks Hill Marriott is flexible and will allow you to bring in your own catering if you want to celebrate your ethnicity through food. They have worked closely with caterers specializing in Persian, Indian and African cuisine, just to name a few.

The hotel also offers wonderful upgraded amenities for the Bride and Groom. Book the Presidential suite and get pampered - in the comfort and style that you deserve. Located on the 16th floor, and overlooking beautiful Bethesda, the presidential suite includes a flat screen TV, couches, wet bar with microwave, and a private patio. Reserving the 2 connecting rooms offers Bridesmaids or Mothers an opportunity to stay close to the pre-wedding festivities.

Are you dreaming of outdoor and indoor possibilities, and still want the convenience of a hotel? This property has it all. A beautiful gazebo provides a dramatic backdrop for pictures. With a small upgrade, treat your guests to cocktails poolside, or cover the pool for added space and have an elegant candlelight ceremony. The possibilities are limitless.

To close a beautiful wedding night, each couple is treated to a luxurious wedding night suite, containing comfy chairs and couches, a flat screen TV, a large opulent bathroom and private sleeping quarters, separated with 2 large French doors.

Elegance abound with ballrooms adorned with giant chandeliers, an elegantly designed lobby, professional and knowledgeable staff, and the convenience of planning your entire event, from the meet and greet to the after wedding brunch, the Pooks Hill Marriott is the choice for a truly choosy Bride!
