Wedding Fever

Love is in the air! At least that's what we believe based on all of the romantic and beautiful weddings we've had the pleasure of hosting this year. Pretty much every Saturday, we get to experience the joy of two individuals committing to one another and starting a new life together.

Our in-house wedding professionals, the Embassy Weddings team, work diligently to ensure that each and every wedding and reception is a one-of-a-kind affair, one that complements the love of two people and the joy of their families.

    

In our recently renovated full ballroom, we can accommodate up to 420 guests. If your list isn't that substantial, we can easily pare down the ballroom, with each quarter easily accommodating roughly 100 people. We've also seen creative ceremony options, such as the one below, taking place in one portion of the ballroom, with the reception held on the other side. 

If a ballroom ceremony isn't what you had in mind, our beautiful garden atrium is warm and inviting, no matter what the weather's threatening outside.

If love is in the air for you and a wedding's in your future, we invite you to contact us today at 952.967.8709 or bloomington.weddings@hilton.com. 

We look forward to helping transform your special day into the event of your dreams.

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.
