When I go to a grand opening, I'm not just there for the free drinks. I'm there to find the story. And the opening night of the JW Marriott Reston Station wasn't just a party—it was a statement.

Brenda and I walked into a lobby that was absolutely electric. You could feel the energy. This wasn't just another hotel opening; it was the arrival of the first-ever JW Marriott in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a local, a content creator, and a real estate professional, I knew this was a game-changer for Northern Virginia.

From the executive speeches and the incredible food at Simon Restaurant, to the amazing band Jessie's Girl from Atlanta that absolutely killed it, all the way to the fireworks finale—I was there capturing it all. I even ran into…
