This is the most amazing venue to have you wedding at. Having my rehearsal dinner, hotel block, photos, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in one place made my wedding day so e...
asy.
The staff put in so much effort to making my day perfect. Every detail was accounted for by the staff. My guests raved about how delicious the food was.
It was amazing having the ballroom and atrium available for my event. People could step into the atrium to grab a drink, take a break, have a chat, take pictures during the reception. The ballroom was perfect for all of the formalities, dances, speeches, and all of that good stuff. When it was party time, the staff dimmed the lights and let us party the night away.
Having the TGI Fridays attached the venue seemed cheesy at first, but it was amazing to keep the party going after my rehearsal dinner and wedding. Most of my guests gabbed late night drinks and snacks after the festivities. It was really easy for my guests to have lunch there as they came in from their travels.
The staff was very supportive of us having as a good a time as possible. There was never a complaint about noise or craziness as my friends and family partied the whole weekend. Even the front desk staff was excited about my wedding. They were very friendly and accommodating with every request. I was even told later that one of the hotel staff was keeping an eye on guests to ensure they did not drink and drive. Thankfully, most of the people at my wedding stayed at the hotel, so people had the time of their lives without any risk.
This venue includes so much in their wedding package that would have cost us thousands of dollars to have to obtain separately. Wedding cake, floral center pieces, champagne toast, breakfast, chair covers, colored napkins and chair sashes. Other vendors wanted to upcharge for every little thing they could, but this embassy suites includes it all in their wedding package for an extremely reasonable cost. We shopped around at 6 other hotel venues between Delaware an Philly. This venue by far provided the most at the best price.
If you are on the fence about where to host your wedding, you will absolutely not go wrong hosting your wedding here. It is the perfect venue to have the easiest and most fun wedding you could dream of!
We were just married at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Newark on September 23, 2022, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went!

nd wedding coordinator was AMAZING and the best to work with! She was so helpful from our original inquiry, to the day of the wedding; she was very detailed and answered EVERY email very quickly (which we appreciated because she received a lot of emails from both of us)! She invited us to a food tasting, which helped us in choosing our appetizers and entrees. She was also so helpful with the planning and the day of our wedding coordination.
The venue was affordable and BEAUTIFUL! The cost per person included so many bonuses too: the centerpieces by Ramone’s Flowers and the cake (so delicious) was provided by Spark'd Creative Pastry. There were several options for the cake vendor; we received a list and then we set up consultations. The uplighting, linens, and napkins were also included! Other things that were included: discounted room rate (with breakfast for the guests) and a complimentary overnight suite for us.
Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted and our family and friends felt welcomed by the entire staff. Joan was on time and so was Vincent, who also helped with a lot of the logistics. We were given a lot of flexibility and options for our set-up and decor. The rooms were spacious, clean, and truly felt like 'your home away from home'.
On the day of the wedding, a few things didn’t go according to plan with our schedule but Joan made sure that we kept as close to our schedule as she could. The staff was wonderful and the night was just amazing. The only complaint that I had (which was not that big of a deal), the front desk staff did not give all our guests their welcome bags but we were able to give it to them afterward.
We wholeheartedly recommend this vendor. Our wedding was everything we imagined plus more. Our guests had such a great time and I am so happy we decided to have our wedding at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Newark.
