    Wonderful Venue

    Meredith and her team were wonderful! She made sure my special day was perfect and it was! Meredith answered any questions I had and if she didn’t have the answer, she’d find it. I’m glad I chose Embassy Suites Riverfront in Wilmington for my wedding venue. They did not disappoint!

    Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront's reply:

    Hi Tanasha,

    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!

    Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront's reply:

    Alyssa,
    Thank you so much for your response, and for sharing your lovely photos with us. We are so honored we got to host you all on your special day. Cheers and congrats!

    Baker/smiley rehearsal dinner

    It was a wonderful experience planning our sons rehearsal dinner. We live out of town and Meredith and her team were so helpful. The room was so lovely overlooking the River, large space to comfortably accommodate our guests. The staff were not only professional but so friendly! The food was perfection! We had only rave reviews from our family and friends! Highly recommend!

    Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront's reply:

    Hello Kim,
    We are so pleased to hear you and your guests had such a wonderful experience here with us at the Embassy Suites! It truly was a pleasure to both work with you and service you all. Cheers!
