Hotel ballrooms are experiencing a bit of renaissance in venue selection for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Thanks to beautiful uplighting and special effects, that once dreary "air wall" is now a blank canvass for you to customize.

The Fairfax Marriott at Fair Oaks has recently undergone a renovation that was more like an amazing transformation. Modern and spacious define the decor, but there are many cozy spaces in the public areas, atrium and restaurant. The atrium is available for a wedding ceremony or cocktail hour and the indoor pergolas may be decorated. The spacious ballroom can accommodate up to 350 guests and there are smaller rooms for more intimate wedding ceremonies and receptions.

Senior Catering Sales Manager Fiona Caramba-Coker is a Marriott Certified Wedding Planner who offers personalized wedding packages. The hotel is a one-stop decor shop with specialty linens, chair covers, pipe & drape, and lighting effects. For ethnic brides, the hotel boasts a chef with a strong background in Indian cuisine - no hassle of finding an outside caterer.

The Fairfax Marriott is conveniently located on Route 50 near I-66, adjacent to the Fair Oaks Mall at 11787 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway. To schedule your tour and consultation with Fiona, call (703) 667-2101 or email her.
