The John Marshall Ballrooms

check out the great wedding reviews for the John Marshall Ballrooms on The Wedding Wire and The Knot. They are from the brides themselves and mothers of the bride

The venue is beautiful and the catering staff and food wonderful – but sadly, a bad apple can ruin an entire experience. READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING A WEDDING.
It seems that Amy (the person who assisted my friend and family with booking the event subscribes to the mentality ‘once i have the sale my work is done.’). Why? On the day before of the event she was providing tours LONG after we were scheduled to
arrive for the chaotic, pre-​wedding preparations) and when we asked for basic necessities she acted annoyed. Her entire attitude was phony, snooty, and all around nasty. We were not even provided with WATER OR ANY DRINKS in the bridal suite pre-​wedding. Clearly this woman knows zilch about planning. When people are shelling out THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND YOU CANT PROVIDE EVEN A FEW DRINKS FOR THE BRIDAL PARTY.
Like most wedding establishments… they’re in it for the money. They could care less about your day.

Saw a comedy show tonight at this location. It was great, clean, friendly. I really enjoyed it and hope to visit again for something in the future.

Though still having the Hotel John Marshall badging on the room it’s really been turned into a top tier ballroom/​highrise condominium that sparkles.
From the attentive staff out front and in the gorgeous lobby that makes you think Vegas to the amazing ball room host to amazing weddings it’s a simply great facility.
Though only here for a few short hours for cocktail hour and a wedding reception I fully designed my own condo on their huge 80 in touch screen in the lobby fully giving you the lay of the land in your new beautiful high rise condo.
The lighting is great with huge chandeliers, the carpet is elegant, but rugged, the upper balcony and staircase is detailed nicely, great ventilation and a large stage for performances of all kinds.
Did I mention all the marble in the lobby or the bar as well.
I’ve been to dozens of weddings, but this my first here in Richmond, but for an indoor reception and the happiness of the newlyweds along with the cocktail hour, food and drink I have to say this place is a treat and a beauty and something any prospective couple should look at if getting married in RVA.
