Beautiful Wedding Reception

Nicolette and the entire Embassy Suites Cincinnati Rivercenter team were excellent! They were detail-oriented and made sure we were completely satisfied during the wedding reception planning process. The set-up, decor, food, and service on our big day exceeded our expectations. The staff was very accommodating as well. The skyline view from the ballroom was incredible. Our reception was absolutely beautiful!

The Embassy Suites Rivercenter is the PERFECT place to get married in the Cincinnati area. We chose to have the ceremony & reception at the same spot, and Embassy knocked the whole event right out of the park!
LOCATION- The city skyline background for a ceremony is 2nd to none; truly breathtaking. Natalie (the best Wedding Catering&Sales Manager to ever live!) and her team had everything set up to perfection for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, dance & firework show thereafter. Yes, fireworks! Book a Reds firework Friday and you'll have the most magnificent backdrop for after dinner photos! The location is also perfect for out of town guests to explore the city easily.
FOOD & DRINK -**Please note the food and beverage minimum is before the 23% food&beverage service charge, so just be careful to not get surprised there. Otherwise, the food and bar were AMAZING. We selected seated dinner and guests chose from Stuffed Gouda & Prosciutto Chicken (AMAZING), Maple & Bourbon Butter Salmon (AMAZING) or the Vegan/Gluten Free option (didn't try it myself). The Spinach Salad starter was also fabulous and the Italian Wedding Soup was the best I've ever had!
HOTEL - the rooms are recently renovated and gorgeous. The buffet breakfast was delicious. The made to order omelets were a crowd-pleaser for sure. A complimentary happy hour for 2hrs each afternoon for hotel guests is a major perk too!
VALUE- The Embassy Suites doesn't nickle and dime you AT ALL! Most venues charge for each chair cover, tablecloth, centerpiece, sash, table # stand, etc. all of this and more was included at Embassy suites and Natalie made sure that our selections were exactly what we had hoped for.
STAFF- Natalie, Mark, Julie and the entire team are amazing! They do whatever they can to ensure perfection and are so attentive to your needs! We are forever indebted to this crew for facilitating the very best day of our lives thus far.

THANK YOU EMBASSY SUITES RIVERCENTER!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Rivercenter in Covington and couldn't be happier. The Embassy was so accommodating, the location is ideal. Everyone we worked with up to the wedding, the day of the wedding and reception, and afterwards did everthing they could to ensure things went smoothly. From the people at the front desk, to the catering manager, the banquet captain, bartenders, and servers, all were receptive to questions, they would check on things, they would help us with no hesitation (no one said, I don't know or that's not my area ~ they said, "I'll find out" and they did). Their service was outstanding. We had terrible weather that day and moved the ceremony inside from the patio. The reception was in the beautiful City View and Captians View Ballrooms. Once we got to the ceremony and then to ballroom for the reception, the weather just didn't matter. The food was outstanding, and the all inclusive packages can't be beat. We received so many compliments and now have great memories of the wedding. If you can keep your numbers under 150, the Embassy is a great option.

I spent a lot of time researching and searching for the perfect venue for our wedding reception in Cincinnati and I could not be more pleased with my ultimate decision to use the Captain's View/Cityview room at the Embassy Suites in Covington. Shannon Bohman was my contact from the first phone call for info to the night of the event and she handled every detail perfectly. The enitre staff the night of the reception went above and beyond to make the event perfect and it truly was. Our guests had the best time AND raved about the food and service. I highly recommend having any reception here and working with Shannon.

We very much enjoyed our wedding reception at the Embassy Suites! They were very helpful in setting up the ball room and dealing with having part of our food catered by them and a part from the outside. They were a little pricier for having a limited selection on how to decorate the reception but we made it work out. Sadly our parents got seated at a table in the back (the table numbers were not assigned correctly) but that was not significant when the dancing began. We would definitely recommend using them for the lovely view and location on the River Front!

We were super happy with our wedding reception. We had it in the small City View room that overlooks the river and the Cincinnati skyline. The view absolutely stunning once it turned dark. The staff are very courteous, professional, and flexible. They helped me with every little question and were very attentive to details. The only downfall was that it was a little costly, but it was totally worth it!

We were very pleased with our reception site. They catered to our guests in a very professional manner. The food was wonderful and the staff went above and beyond to decorate the venue just as I had asked. I highly recommend using the Captain's Room with the beautiful view of the city.

You cannot beat the view at Embassy Suites! I only considered venues with an amazing view of the skyline, and for our budget, it worked out perfectly! Though the package promises a "day of coordinator", the only problem in the end was that there wasn't much help on the day of. Our DJ took over to help move things along, and while it worked out, I worry what would have happened otherwise.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
