Who will be my contact once I have booked my event?

An event manager will be assigned to create a seamless transition from the sales process to event planning and execution. Please note that while we can offer you recommendations to local event planners, we do not provide full-service planning and only focus on facility logistics for your event.

We welcome any vendors with approval from your event manager. We can also recommend vendors that we have worked with in the past.

DCC and Durham Marriott City Center are physically connected but are managed separately. We do not offer discounted event space based on booked hotel rooms. Click here to book rooms at Durham Marriott City Center or visit Discoverdurham.com for a list of Durham hotels.
