Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center Celebrates 25 Years of Memorable Social Events
Gaithersburg, MD hotel brings 25 years of experience to the art of hosting more than 1,500 weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and cherished social events.
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center is celebrating its silver anniversary — 25 years of hosting memorable bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings and other social occasions that are a fundamental part of the fabric of the Gaithersburg, Maryland, community.
The hotel in Montgomery County has been the location of choice for more than 1,000 weddings and 500 bar and bat mitzvahs since it opened its doors in 1993. Many of those celebrations represent families who have chosen to return to the hotel again and again for life's most cherished moments, says Barbara Michael, senior catering sales executive, one of numerous hosts who have worked at Gaithersburg Marriott long term.
Ms. Michael, who has coordinated many of the bar and bat mitzvahs at Gaithersburg Marriott since 1996, says the personalized attention is what draws repeat guests to the hotel. "There are a lot of Marriott hosts who have been at the hotel for 10, 15 or more years. We get to know our guests and remember them when they come back," explains Ms. Michael, a resident of nearby Frederick, Maryland. "We interact with them on a personal level and that's what makes Gaithersburg Marriott exceptional."
It's common for multiple siblings to celebrate their bar and bat mitzvahs — traditionally held for 13-year-old Jewish boys and girls — at Gaithersburg Marriott, Ms. Michael says. "Recently the hotel hosted a bat mitzvah for the fourth time in 10 years for a family with four daughters. Afterward, the father thanked me and said he would see me again at their weddings!"
Two distinctive social spaces and an unexpected lakeside location make Gaithersburg Marriott an ideal backdrop for all kinds of events in Gaithersburg, MD from weddings and baby showers to anniversaries and retirement parties. The 2,700 sq.-ft. Lakeside Ballroom, with its adjoining terrace, and the recently renovated 5,940 sq.-ft. Washingtonian Ballroom share an updated palette of natural charm and modern elegance. A prime location in the RIO Washingtonian Center shopping, dining and entertainment complex makes the hotel a popular request for guest room blocks in Gaithersburg to host out-of-town attendees.
