Awarded Best of Zola
Huge thank you to the entire staff of the Makoy, who particularly Matt, Erin and Adrian who made sure that our wedding went smoothly and everything was perfect. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was so appreciated when there are so many things to keep in mind and so many tasks to cross off your list. They made everything so much easier! The way everything came together looked absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations by far. The decor was done so beautifully and we were very impressed. The food was amazing, the bartender was great and super friendly and every single guest made comments to me about how wonderful the event was and how nice the venue was. We could not be any happier with our decision to get married at the Makoy. It was absolutely perfect!!!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with the Le Meridien event team. I hosted a bridal shower for my daughter at the hotel in July and it was quite simply amazing. The level of care in the detailed preparation and the day of staff and their flawless execution were phenomenal. I decided to go with a six-course tasting menu and wine pairing which is a bit out of the box for a bridal shower and on complicated side for an event. The team didn’t miss a beat, they listened to my general vision for the event, and coordinated with the chef to come up with spectacular menu that just wowed everyone. The day of staff was remarkable. They delivered the courses and wine pairings to our group of 30 with such precision and attentiveness. Thank you, Le Meriden, for a most excellent experience. My daughter, all the guests, and myself as the host, could not have had a more lovely afternoon

My husband Alex and I got married at Mozart’s on May 25th of this year, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made in our entire wedding planning process, and our wedding was absolutely PERFECT!!! Janelle, Mozart’s wedding coordinator is absolutely amazing and was there for us every step of the way of the process of planning our wedding and ensured that everything went as smoothly as possible and exactly the way we wanted it! 3 She and Anand did everything in their power to make our wedding dreams come true with such kindness and unparalleled professionalism and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wonderful place to get married with amazing food, classy and romantic old-world European ambiance, and the most delicious European wedding cake and other desserts to look no further, THIS is where you wanna go! Doris makes the most amazing desserts and even made the most beautiful and delicious marzipan roses to decorate our cake and it was absolutely perfect in every way! Thank you Mozart’s for making our wedding a magical and unforgettable experience! Much love, Ayako and Alex Stitz
