Happy Birthday Wilver - Free Champagne!

Around here we like to celebrate, and what better vehicle to aid in our celebrating than champagne? Not just any champagne, mind you, but FREE champagne!

This Sunday, October 30, is Chef Wilver's birthday. In honor of the occasion, we will be offering free champagne for all of our brunch guests (that are of legal drinking age, of course). Typically, our champagne service is offered at $22.95 per person; however, this Sunday, we're including the champagne for the standard brunch price of just $18.95. As always, children 6-12 years old are $9.95, and those 5 and under are free.

Make your brunch reservation at Open Table today, and make sure you're here this Sunday to toast Chef Wilver on his special day!

Weddings - 2012

The Social File

(Note: For this installation, we consulted our resident experts on all things wedding, Renee Lawler and Allie Lea, who handle all of our social events (including weddings) for the catering department). 

With 2012 rapidly approaching, we are winding down the 2011 wedding season and eagerly anticipating the start of the new year! We're pleased to report that weddings dates are booking a lot more rapidly than in previous years. It must just be a good year for romance!

Our full ballroom was voted The Knot's 2010 Best Wedding Venue and seats up to 400 people! With our naturally-lit, lush garden atrium and Mediterranean-style fountain, you can even host the open-air ceremony of your dreams without having to worry about the weather. 

The next time you're at Chez Daniel, make sure to stop by the lobby. We've recently installed a monitor to showcase recent weddings at the Embassy Suites Bloomington property. It's a great way to get an idea of what the ballroom looks like 'all dressed up'. 

If you or someone you know is planning a wedding for Spring of 2012, call Renee and Allie for the latest specials on available spring dates at 952.-967-8709. You can also visit our custom wedding website, www.embassyweddings.com, or our Embassy Weddings Facebook page for pictures and information.

We can't wait to see all of these beautiful weddings!

Client Event - Trends in Holiday Parties

In thinking about how we could help our clients plan their upcoming holiday parties, we decided there was no better way than to show them. On September 8, we did just that!

We invited everyone to our Embassy Suites - Minneapolis Airport property for an afternoon of drawings, food, fun, and education on trends for holiday parties and special events this year.

Hosted on an afternoon workday, so most meeting planners wouldn't have to cut into their personal time, the client event was a great opportunity to express our thanks and help clients plan their upcoming events. For more pictures, please visit our Facebook Album for the event.
