Hotel ICON, A Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel

One month later and we are still ecstatic with our choice in using Hotel Icon as our wedding venue. Some highlights: - the contract was straight forward with minimal fees tacked onto the food & beverage cost per person - we found their packages to be much more favorable to venues that only do weddings - we got some nice perks for signing our contract, like a spa credit and free night in our hotel room - the head chef was extremely accommodating and flexible, basically created a custom food package for us - the hotel rooms are very unique and are extremely reasonable for an autograph collection - Regina is excellent to work with and was on top of everything - the ballroom has a unique layout and style that you couldn't get elsewhere

The venue and the staff were amazing! We had our wedding in Feb 2019 (President's weekend) which gave our guests an extra day to spend with the family and friends. Regina did everything we asked for and beyond. She was in all our wedding planning meetings at the venue and communicated with everyone to make sure we all were on the same page. The food was great and they were able to accommodate our needs. Gilberto was Superman. He did whatever it took to make things happen for us and make our day special. If I had to be picky and pick a con about the night, it was the AC. Not sure if it was all the candles we had or the number of people but it was a bit warm during our ceremony and reception. Other than that it was still a perfect experience. With the location of it being in the heart of Downtown Houston and great staff, you can not go wrong with celebrating your wedding day at Hotel Icon.

They were complete professionals! Everything was just as we planned. The reception happened without any hiccups. Thanks to Regina Rojas for making it happen!

The entire staff at Icon was incredible for everything related to our wedding reception. From the check in staff, to the event coordinators who were there until the end of the reception, and the valet staff and the chefs, we were thrilled with everyone who worked with us.

The Hotel ICON fit perfectly with my theme of "100 years ago". I loved the fact that it was originally built in 1909. The character of the elevators with the chandeliers is just breath-taking. But, also, I loved the hotel lobby where my guests could comfortably meet and mingle. It was like being in a family member's living room - warm and inviting - however grandiose it actually was. I also enjoyed the Hospitality Suite as a perfect place for me & my bridesmaids to meet up for breakfast on the big day. The hotel shuttle was also a great way for my guests to get to the rehearsal dinner that was just around the corner. Thank you Hazel & your team, you did an excellent job & we appreciate you making our big day weekend such a dream.

Icon was perfect. Michael McVey and the entire staff was beyond helpful. The rehearsal dinner and the entire weekend were smoothly. The food at the rehearsal dinner was excellent and we were vey grateful that, upon on request, the chef and staff were able to make slight tweaks to the menu.

We had our room block, after party and wedding night at hotel ICON and it was absolutely perfect. The bar/restaurant is perfect for large groups and stays open late. The rooms make for great photo ops and the place is just beautiful. Be mindful that the hotel shuttle is not free and does cost $200 each way. They don't necessarily tell you that over the phone.

Absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a fun, unique, elegant, and beautiful hotel to have your wedding, Hotel Icon is the place! My husband and I fell in love with the vintage but modern theme of the hotel with a Texas flare to it. Everything was top notch at this hotel. From the building itself and the decorum, to the food, rooms, and staff. Mike, the event coordinator at Hotel Icon, is simply wonderful! He was such a huge help throughout the wedding planning process and on the day itself. He checked in with me frequently to go over things and to just see how we were doing with our planning. We will not forget his hospitality. He truly cared about making sure that we had the wedding of our dreams at Hotel Icon, and we did just that and then some! We had our reception in the Aventine Ballroom and cocktail hour in the stunning foyer outside of the ballroom. The ballroom and entire floor is gorgeous and sets the tone for an elegant and intimate celebration. We had around 120 guests and the room was the perfect size! I was a little worried about how the space would be with the room nearing capacity, but it was just right! I've been to weddings where the reception was held in a giant ballroom and found that you lose sight of the bride and groom in such a big space. The ballroom at Hotel Icon was wonderful and held our guests comfortably while keeping people from feeling lost or out of touch from the events that took place throughout the night. I also found that our guests were more eager to dance on a more intimate dance floor where it did not feel like you were out in the open, yet there was plenty of space. Let me tell you, we had almost all of our guests on the dance floor, too, and it was perfect! The staff was warm and welcoming and the service was impeccable. Our wedding took place in October of 2015, and our family and friends can't stop ranting and raving about how amazing our wedding was. I think we all felt like royalty that night. The food was so delicious! Of course with it being our wedding, my husband and I did not get to eat as much as we normally would have, but we had multiple guests tell us that the steak that we chose to serve, was the best steak they had eaten! We had many guests stay at the hotel, most from out of state, and they went on and on about how they so enjoyed their stay at Hotel Icon. I think it's an especially fun hotel to have out of town guests come to, because it showcases our Texas pride just enough to stand out to guests and resonate to native Texans, while not being an overwhelming theme. The hotel graciously offered a beautiful junior suite for my husband and I to stay in the night of our wedding, which was a lovely and kind bonus. We ordered breakfast to our room the following morning, which I have yet to have Huevos Rancheros that beats there's, and likely won't be able to! Everything was truly spectacular. With that being said, don't waste your time looking for an amazing venue any longer, it is at Hotel Icon! My husband and I would like to send a sincere thank you to the staff of Hotel Icon, particularly Mike, because of you guys, we truly had an Iconic wedding that we will cherish our memories from for the rest of our lives.

I highly recommend Hotel Icon for having your wedding block through! Brynne was amazing! She was so helpful in ensuring I got the room I specifically requested and added more rooms to the block right before the wedding. The hotel was beautiful and the service was fantastic!

Our wedding was held at Station 3, which was just a 5 minute drive from the hotel, so that was the initial draw to the hotel. However, the hotel and its staff EXCEEDED our expectations big time! I had all the bridesmaids there the day of the wedding getting ready and they were so helpful making sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. We also told them that we had an early reception (ended at 10:30) and that everyone was planning on coming to the hotel after for drinks, and they were 100% prepared when we arrived with 20+ people to the hotel bar. Also, the next morning me (the bride) and my husband received a complimentary breakfast buffet (which was a godsend after the night before and before we left for our honeymoon). It's a bit pricey compared to other hotels, but you cannot beat the beautiful hotel and its outstanding staff.

We were so pleased that we chose Hotel Icon for our reception venue. They went out of their way to make sure our family and friends had an extraordinary stay. Mike Mcvey and the entire staff were a pleasure to work with. We continue to receive compliments from friends and family on how beautiful the wedding was.

That is exactly how they made me feel! But for more than a day! From the time we took a tour all the way to the day after our wedding, the staff made me and my family and our guests feel like royalty. They went above and beyond my expectations. I did not have to worry about a thing because I knew it would be taken care of. EVERYONE that works there is amazing! The setting for our wedding and reception was beautiful. They really made my fairytale wedding come true!

Nice hotel, very expensive. We stayed there on our wedding night. They put us in a gorgeous room, we really enjoyed our stay. Be sure to set up a wedding block, they give a much better rate. We also ordered room service for breakfast, which was overpriced. The employees were extremely nice.
