Courtney and Mario decided to have their wedding reception at the Raleigh Marriott City Center. Not only is the ballroom the perfect venue for a classically elegant affair, but the convenience for guests is also a huge benefit for any couple having a lot of out of town guests. The classic ballroom lends itself to any theme, and they went the whole nine yards, with stunning decor including draping to complete the upscale look.
