Embassy Suites is a jewel of Rockford

We initially picked the Embassy Suites for our large 300 person wedding at first because we wanted to take pictures on the rooftop with the city skyline in the background. Not only were we able to do that, along with taking some pictures in an igloo, we had an absolutely magical wedding. We did everything on site from the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to brunch the next morning. Being able to stay the night after such a big party was a very good idea. We'd highly recommend renting the Aldeen Hospitality suite for your bridal party to get ready. The room was spacious with 4 stations for people to do hair and make up and its own bathroom. The food was delicious and the drinks were fun, festive, and strong. We had such a good time we went back a week later to visit the Top restaurant to celebrate our one week anniversary.

Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Party, and Hotel Block

The Embassy in Rockford was absolutely amazing for our hotel block, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and bridal suite for getting ready. It is honestly one of the coolest, most unique hotels ever stayed in - our guests said the same. Jessica was amazing to work with, incredibly flexible and helpful. The bridal suite worked out amazing, breakfast (included) was great, and everyone loved the Rockford Roasters coffee shop attached as well. The welcome party/rehearsal dinner space was beautiful and many of our guests loved the restaurant and bar there. Could not recommend enough!

A very impressive experience

We had our wedding reception at Embassy Suites on 10/8/22 and had a very positive experience! We worked primarily with Kelly, the director of sales who worked and met with us periodically throughout the planning process, and who patiently answered our many questions. Embassy is well prepared and well versed in hosting weddings, as they had any rentable decorations we could think of available to us. We were most impressed with the quality of the food during both our tasting (with 6 people) and our actually wedding dinner (with 190 guests). We received so many compliments from all of our guests on how great the food was which made us so happy. The venue ended up being available the day before our wedding so they were able to let us in early to decorate. We heard from our friends and family who helped fix minor issues throughout the night and helped clean up after the wedding that the catering staff on duty the night of our wedding was spectacular and were so polite and a pleasure to work with. They were there to tend to any need and to fix any last minute detail. They hosted two other weddings the same night as ours and we couldn't even notice a lack in service. They treated us and our guests as if we were their main priority and focus. We had a block of rooms at Embassy for our guests, and we also received feedback on how nice the rooms were and how much they enjoyed the hotel (especially the attached coffee shop). We are very happy with our experience at Embassy Suites and would definitely recommend to future brides and grooms wanting to get married in the Rockford area!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
