American Beauty

not taste like your typical “wedding” food. No frozen mixed vegetable medley! Everything was so fresh and well put together. The chef was incredible. The wait staff, Prince and Patty took such well care of my new husband and I. Everything was beautiful!! I would definitely do another event here The only reason for not giving 5 stars is because during the planning of my wedding we went through 3 different head directors. They were all nice but jumping from one person to another made things very stressful, as things fell through the cracks. Our last person was thrown at us only 2 weeks before my wedding. Aside from this I would give 5 stars. I hope they find someone good who can stay with them!

t but unfortunately our budget wasn’t what we thought it’d be. I’d highly recommend working with Danielle at the Embassy to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

d not see the ballroom. Customer service was terrible seemed to be rushed and did not want to be bothered. Literally walk us around a hotel gave us a folder with 3 packages and left. I feel they felt that I was not good enough or could not afford a wedding there. Complete joke skip this place so many other great venues in the area that actually care.

it was very special to be one of the first couples to have our wedding in this beautiful event space and sort of watch it be built before our eyes. The all glass solarium is a dream. We toured many venues but they all seemed very basic and almost like "Wedding factories" with some hosting up to 3 weddings a day. We loved that it is part of Embassy Suites because guess what? our guests didn't have to worry getting on a shuttle anywhere- all they had to do was go to their rooms, or stay for the after party at the restaurant bar. We received a lot of feedback from our guests that they loved that everything was in one spot. We planned for the ceremony to take place outside in the grove, but unfortunately it rained and the team at American Beauty set up one of the ballrooms in what felt like 5 minutes. Luckily we were able to take our first look photos in the beautiful park right on site. Remember how I mentioned it was a one-stop shop? Catering is included in the package! You don't have to worry about finding an extra vendor to cater or a vendor to rent chairs and tables. We came for a tasting and met with the chef and selected our menu from there. Everything was professional and on the day of, the catering team hit it out the park. Patricia (I thick that was her name) literally took my husband and I by the hand, gave us a drink, brought us to a private room with a feast of food just for us. It was so special to have that time alone to make sure we ate something before going back out and spending time with our guests. Honestly every moment of our time there was beautiful and I would have my wedding there over and over again instead of any other "wedding factory."

high ceilings, modern decor, fixtures etc. Honestly , very upscale and not at all what i would think when hearing Embassy Suites. They have a gorgeous glass atrium which i used for my cocktail hour but would be amazing for a wedding ceremony as well. The food was great and they were very flexible in tailoring the menu to accomodate my requests. Danielle and her entire team as well as the chef were a pleasure to work with and helped make the party a success. They had some outdoor fire pits that I would have loved to use but it was just too cold. This was the third bar mitzvah I planned and was probably the easiest. I'm just a little disappointed I don't have another event to plan there right now. I highly recommend this venue.

to party. Danielle Marck, Director of Event Sales, is terrific. She's responsive, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Day of Event team, led by Prince, is equally as fabulous. Highly recommend this venue!

oked fantastic and we loved having the cocktail hour in the solarium.

s very particular about the venue we selected, and have plenty of experience dealing with both venues and vendors. I promise that this team is A+ in responsiveness, attention to detail and service. All of the hotel staff were lovely including the front desk. Special shout out to Danielle who was always quick to answer my very detailed questions leading up to the event, our maitre d' Prince and back of house bridal attendant Sonia who kept the events of the evening on track, and our bridal attendant Patty who was truly the MVP that evening (we loved her), always making sure we had a drink in hand and plate full of food. Speaking of food, both cocktail hour appetizers and dinner were delicious (we were told by many guests) and service super smooth and on time. We had our ceremony and reception in the Crescent Solarium and the room looked absolutely GORGEOUS for both; they expertly flipped the room for dinner in an hour during cocktail hour which was set up outside the Solarium in their grand hallway. I asked Danielle multiple times whether a day of coordinator would be necessary and she confidently told me no, the hotel staff would handle everything and she was right. We also hosted our room block here and all our guests commented how beautiful the guest suites were. It made it so easy to have all our events (getting ready, ceremony, cocktail, reception, after party) on site along with the room block. No shuttle or traveling between locations needed! I highly recommend this venue. The team here made it so special for us and I wouldn't hesitate to host another event here or recommend to everyone. Thank you team for treating us so well we love you guys! xoxo

till under construction back in early 2018. We live out of state so our visits to the site were sporadic. When the "Big Day" finally arrived we were completely blown away by how beautiful EVERYTHING was!!! The window dimming feature in The Solarium provided the perfect amount of lighting during the daytime hours. Danielle and her staff are amazing and were responsive and attentive the months leading up to our wedding and especially the day of. The food options were unbelievably fantastic , and our friends and family are still raving about how delicious everything was. Cocktail hour was held in the main hall and was the perfect setup for our guests. As a bonus there are many great locations for photo opportunities throughout the hotel!

if you try to do business with them. But then again, they called the big spending Bat Mitzvah they double booked on our wedding (6/29) day “pigs” and “slobs.” We were simply called “you people.”!

Sabo, Prince, Patty, Sonia and Q. The night went very smoothly because of you all and your staffs. Prompt, attentive, friendly. Danielle was fabulous to work with. Thank you for making that happen.

a cocktail style reception that was personally overseen by the resident chef. So many of our guests raved about the food and signature cocktail created by the mixologist. We were taken care of from the minute we arrived from our ceremony to when we departed the next day. The friendly and efficient staff made for a seamless event and we are truly grateful for their hard work. This venue exceeded our expectations and more!

ca were so accommodating to all of the numerous logistics I asked of them. Prince was on top of his staff with every detail. Anytime I needed something, someone was right there and willing to help. The event was a full two day set up which also used every banquet room in the building. They could not have been nicer! The chef did an excellent job. We had specific requests and he was able to make all of them happen. They take pride in their service and go above and beyond for their clients. I have worked at many venues and this one is one of my favorites! My client was thrilled and all of their guests were really blown away. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and I cannot wait to go back!

w so no bride has to endure what I went through. The only good point about this venue is the embassy suites hotel is stunning , they really did such a great job with it. The rooms are stylish and really big (except for the “bridal suite” which is actually just a regular suite, nice looking but not big at all). The park is really nice and for brides who choose to get married there, (I didn’t) looks like it would be really nice. I booked this venue site unseen and was promised a fairy tale but was given a nightmare. Throughout the whole process our American beauty event planner did not keep In contact with us at all. We were always reaching out to her to find out what the status of the venue was, when we could see it finished etc. when it was finally finished we didn’t even get a call from her to let us know we just happened to take a drive past. Our taste testing was really good, the presentation was impeccable and the food was so good... to bad we didn’t get that the day of our wedding. They did go through a lot of management changes once the owner passed away. Day of wedding I didn’t see our planner at all, thinking everything that we discussed and signed off on would be in good hands I arrived at our cocktail hour only to find out our private room was not moved to another room because they booked a party and the other room across from the ballroom now also had some kind of party. Hotel guest with luggage were casually walking through my cocktail hour because there is a back entrance and was not closed off.. random guest of the hotel were just taking tours around the ballroom. We were told when signing that We would be the ONLY event going on that day. And That there would be staff making sure non guests were not able to enter or exit where the cocktail hour was. Also the map of the layout we had planned was completely scratched, my photo booth was in a corner of the ballroom when it was supposed to be outside of it and all my special tables were crammed into the one side so not everyone was able to sign the guest book. The food we were supposed to have was replaced behind our backs and my mom was so busy putting out fires that she missed the cake ceremony. The bar ran out of vodka even though we paid for too shelf liquor open bar. These are just a few of many things that went wrong and I could literally write a book on all the things we were promised and was not delivered. It’s heart wrenching that you work so hard to plan a perfect wedding and have a vision in your head and your excited only to be crying hysterically the next day. This is a once in a lifetime event and it should be handled appropriately. This was not at all. Which really sucked. Even though our guests said they had a good time, it is definitely something we will never forget. So for the hotel I give an B. American beauty gets a hard 0
