I wanted to take the time to share our incredible experience holding our wedding at the DoubleTree…read morethis past weekend at 340 Racetrack Road Washington, PA 15301. If you are planning an event, I highly encourage you to read our story!
We threw the team a massive curveball by calling them at the absolute last minute--on June 4th, just 22 days before our wedding date.
Despite the tight timeline, they immediately connected us with Gretchen, the Director of Sales, and the magic began.
Planning in Just Two Weeks
Gretchen quickly scheduled a meeting to hear what we had in mind, and fortunately, they had a beautiful small banquet room available. During that initial meeting, we also met Justin, the Banquet Manager, who was right there alongside Gretchen to answer every single question that popped up.
Gretchen took the time to truly listen to our story and understand the vibe of our guest list. She effortlessly walked us through:
Picking out the perfect menu
Creating a seamless timeline for the big day
Keeping us updated constantly while checking in to see if we needed anything
Friday, the day before the BIG DAY!
We and several of our guests checked in for the entire weekend, and we were welcomed with open arms. The entire staff congratulated us and constantly offered their assistance.
After settling into our rooms, we headed to the pool area--which was incredibly serene, relaxing, and the perfect spot to unwind with our guests. While poolside, John from Maintenance introduced himself. Every single time he saw us throughout the weekend, his jovial personality and 5-star customer service made us feel like the ultimate guests of honor.
The Big Day: "The Best Wedding Food Ever!"
Suddenly, the big day was here! Gretchen and Taylor were waiting for us right in the event room, ready to jump in and assist with any last-minute details.
Our guests could not stop talking about how "just perfect" everything was, emphasizing the top-tier hospitality and the incredible buffet. To quote our guests directly: "This is the BEST WEDDING FOOD EVER!!!"
A huge shout-out to Tammy - our personal bartender for the evening and the Chef and the kitchen team! The presentation was an absolute jaw-dropper, and the food was incredibly delicious. We chose the Cookout Buffet and added chicken tenders and french fries for the kids, which was a massive hit.
Thank You, DoubleTree Team!
We fully understand why couples usually plan their weddings a year or two in advance. However, with only two weeks' notice, the DoubleTree team created a beautiful wedding day that went way beyond anything I ever expected or imagined.
An enormous thank you to Gretchen, Taylor, Tammy, John, and Justin. Thank you for all of your thoughtful, creative, and hard work to help us create a weekend we will cherish forever!
We will see you next year... weekend of June 27th 2027 for our first year anniversary party!!
