We hosted our child’s first birthday at the Courtyard Marriott of Shelton and we absolutely loved every aspect of the hotels offerings for our event. The Catering Sales Manager was attentive to our every need and every item addressed was delivered as requested. Our contact even had most of our items set up in the ballroom before we arrived – they were very willing to help us with setting up and very accommodating to ensure our set up and packing up afterwards went smoothly. The buffet style cold and hot appetizers were beautifully displayed and the meals were delicious. They had one of the best pricing and quite a number of options for our buffet selections. The staff was excellent with timing and made sure our guest were very comfortable by clearing the tables using good judgement on when to do that. The open bar pricing was also one of the best we had come across during our research. The overall service provided exceeded our expectation and we would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a party at this location. They were very professional and easy to work with making us very comfortable.
