A sincere thank-you for your previous Marriot stay

Your plan for Saturday sounds good to me, and I think the earlier train is still the better choice.
It gives us more time to stop for coffee, check in, and settle before dinner.
I can handle the reservation for the table if you want, and you could confirm whether Nina is joining.
If she comes, I will ask for a larger table near the back where it tends to be quieter.
Also, bring a light layer because the dining room can feel cool after sunset.

Marriot Stay-based guest notice for recent visitors Because you stayed at a Marriot Hotel or a Marriot partnered hotel within the past year, you may receive a 2-piece luxury cooling pillow set at no charge. To have the pillows shipped, please complete a very brief questionnaire. After the questionnaire is finished, you can also claim a 2-night stay at select locations at no charge. What is included • Two luxury cooling pillows in one household set • Provided at no charge because of your qualifying stay history • One pillow set per household • You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights • Total pillow allocation: 500 sets • Program ends Tomorrow Redeem your pillows + 2 nights This availability is open to eligible households that stayed with Marriot or a participating partner property within the last year. Complete the questionnaire so shipping details can be confirmed and the included 2-night stay information can be presented based on program scheduling. Inside this cooling pillow set Breathable materials help reduce heat buildup across the surface of the pillow. A cool-touch outer cover can feel more comfortable at the start of rest. Balanced loft can support side and back sleepers with steady cushioning. Moisture-managing fabric may help the pillow stay feeling fresher through the night. A neatly structured fill can help the pillow keep its shape with routine use. A two-pillow arrangement makes it simpler to update both sides of the bed together. Availability is determined by program quantities, and stay dates and participating locations are assigned according to scheduling. Thank you for staying at a Marriot Hotel. Your recent visit is the reason this household offer is being extended to you.

I checked the venue options you sent, and the smaller space still sounds more practical for the group size.
It seems easier for parking, and the menu had more variety for everyone, especially if we end up with two people who prefer vegetarian dishes.
I can bring the place cards and print the agenda if you want to keep things moving smoothly.
For timing, I would keep the start a little later so people arriving from work are not rushed.
If that works for you, I will draft a short note with arrival details and send it over this evening.
