Marriott Welcomes Gay Weddings
It will be interesting to see exactly how this is taken by, say, the half dozen people who make up One Million Moms or by the National Organization for Marriage (but not yours). Marriott International wants you to consider them when it comes time to plan your wedding. And they are doing so in not-coy or ambiguous terms.
On their website on a page titled gay-wedding-venues:
Weddings and Civil Ceremonies
Marriott hotels provide ideal venues for ceremonies honoring you and your partner. With luxurious hotels and stunning resorts all around the world, we offer the perfect settings and Planning Services for your most special day.
Event Planners
Marriott event planners and luxurious venues work hard behind the scenes so you can shine in the limelight. Were waiting with the welcome, the amenities, the catering, and the rest of the celebration you and your cast of stars deserves.
Considering that a number of big businesses have recently become increasingly vocal in support, this might not be very remarkable
if Bill Marriott were not the Chairman of the Board, if the Marriott family (which owns about a fifth of the stock) was not Mormon, and if Mitt Romney (who is named after Willard Marriott) had not at one point been on the Board of Directors.

Hope the owner's namesake sends them a congratulations (is it the "Willard" or the "Milton" that comes from the founder of Marriot?)
