Amazing Venue!

We loved having our wedding at Embassy Suites! The reception, cocktail, and ceremony space were all we could hope for! Lindsay was helpful throughout the entire process with any questions we had! It was great being able to stay at the hotel, as well as have our wedding there. The entire staff was very helpful the entire weekend. The weekend of our wedding there was a tropical storm, but there was a plan B in case anything happened. The weather cleared up Saturday and was beautiful. We had our ceremony outside, our first touch on the roof, and a beautiful reception inside. The food was also AMAZING. Thank you Embassy Suites!!!

Great service and venue!

I had my June 2021 rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception at Embassy Suites Wilmington Riverfront. I had wanted to get married outside on the lawn but it rained so we moved into the main ballroom where we planned on having our reception. Looking back I’m so happy we had it inside so that everyone could hear our vows and it was more comfortable that sitting in the unshaded lawn for my grandma and other guests in attendance. Jenna Nix was my point of contact and very helpful during the planning process and helped everything run smoothly on the day of. We are from out of town and held every event for our wedding weekend here and it was so convenient for guests to not have to travel to multiple sites. The bridal suite was a huge plus as it held myself, 7 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, my mom, mother in law and my grandma along with 2 hair and makeup professionals. The food at Steam for the rehearsal dinner and the buffet at the reception was so delicious. We even got to visit some more with our guests for Sunday brunch before we left for our honeymoon. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding weekend in Wilmington!

Wedding Ceremony & Reception

The best day! We had our wedding ceremony outside and had the reception inside. There is also a dock right in front of the hotel and we did a boat send off. Meredith and her team did a fabulous job! She was also quick to respond to my questions during the planning process and ensured everything ran smoothly. They were very accommodating to us and our out of town guests. The food was delicious!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
