      A great place to get Married
      The Durham Marriott is a great place to get married coupling the history and heritage of the building and city with great support and fantastic service. We had a wonderful wedding and I would recommend both the staff and the venue to any bride looking for a magical day. I would also like to highlight the outstanding customer service we received from Dionne Connolly who worked closely with us to ensure that our wedding was a great success, from the food to the DJ. She met with our family and helped to ensure that they all felt part of our fantastic day. I couldn’t have asked for anymore from a wedding co-ordinator, she took all the pressure away from the bridal party and made sure that we enjoyed every minute, including the lead up.
