We loved Embassy Suites from the moment we saw it but booking our wedding here was a huge mistake. Communicating with this place was difficult from day 1, I practically begged the event manager to respond to me, which should’ve been a huge red flag but I decided to overlook it because of how beautiful the property WAS. The two years spent planning with this place were a nightmare. We were ignored, deceived and in the end, so disappointed. The promise of the “minor renovations” being complete in time for our wedding was a complete lie. They even stooped so low as to not tell us there would be heavy machinery and equipment present when we arrived for our wedding weekend. We were aware our ceremony and reception space were both significantly damaged, but after a year of checking in and waiting to see crews working, we were shocked to finally see them the day before our wedding. The total lack of care with which our event was handled by such a large establishment was unbelievable. The things they did to attempt to put a bandaid on the situation were laughable. We had a beautiful wedding in spite of it all, thanks to our friends, families and other vendors, but I wouldn’t let my worst enemy book here. If you’re looking to get married in St. Augustine, keep looking. Don’t let these people trick you into ruining your wedding! Reviewed on 26-11-2023

We fell in love with Embassy before we were engaged, so we knew we wanted to get married there. We were so confident that we only toured the Embassy and secured our date very shortly after that. We had our ceremony on the lawn, which was perfect. We selected the Blue Heron room for the reception that has the ocean view, which I absolutely recommended. Everyone from the front staff to valet were amazing. I booked the oversized king suite to get ready (as well as stay the night before and night of the wedding) and it was the perfect size with all of the bridesmaid, hair and makeup people, and other vendors that came in- totally worth it and amazing views. We also reserved the Surf Crest board room for the groom to wait in and also for us to have a break after photos and before we were announced in. The food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this venue! Reviewed on 20-09-2023

Everything at our wedding was amazing! It was the most beautiful day and everything was perfect. We did a destination wedding and never saw the venue until the week of our wedding, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything turned out. The communication between Heather throughout the planning process was frustrating at times and made the planning process even more stressful. However, she was great during our actual wedding. I tried to be forgiving as she seemed to have a lot of weddings and didn’t appear to have much help. I would recommend this venue to any future couples, but would be mindful of the lack of communication that you may receive. Reviewed on 09-09-2023

We were looking forward to our beautiful wedding at the Embassy but unfortunately the space was not fixed in time for our wedding date and was still damaged due to the hurricane. Our event manager Heather was nice but confusing when she explained certain things to us, so it made the planning process frustrating. On the day of our wedding she never showed up and did not block off our space like she said she would so we had hotel guests walking through our venue space during the ceremony. Heather ended up giving us a discount for the damage, which was nice but the overall experience wasn't great. Reviewed on 02-07-2023

Christine S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-05-2022 My experience with Embassy Suites was fantastic. We had our wedding reception here on May 21, 2022. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue with the Anastasia Ballroom overlooking the beach and pier. The beachfront resort was a beautiful location for a destination wedding and guests had the opportunity to enjoy all of the amenities of the property and also explore downtown St. Augustine.Thank you to Heather Benzal and Sonny for making the wedding of our dreams a reality. Their attention to detail was unparalleled and everything was top notch- the venue, service, food, and hospitality. This is a must see venue if you are looking for a great wedding location in the St. Augustine/ Jacksonville area!!! Reviewed on 16-09-2022
Lona Crawford(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-05-2021 Held our wedding and reception at Embassy Suites St Augustine Beach Oceanfront. Such a beautiful location and place to get married. We had a great wedding! The catering staff and ceremony cordinator were fantastic. Our contact Jessica did a great job with all of the pre-day planning before she left for another position. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The hotel was very busy and a bit understaffed for the volume. Long waits at front desk and valet. There was a graduation event in the space next to ours that had a lot of people out in the common hallway. Made it a bit loud and difficult to get to the restrooms. Our room wasn’t where we were originally told it would be, and had some pretty bad stains on the carpet. Small details for sure. Everything else was spot on and fantastic! Great place to get married!

Aimee Meeker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-09-2020 Our wedding was spectacular!! This location is perfect for anyone looking for a resort wedding without traveling to the Caribbean. The lawn overlooking the ocean is perfect for a beach wedding without the annoying sand. And the ballroom is stunning, there are no extra frills or decorations needed. All of our guests were raving about the resort and I am pretty sure some will be back for weekend trips of their own! Jessica was so great to work with, she was so nice and understanding of all the updates due to Covid. She went over every detail with us to make sure our wedding went smoothly, which it did!! Cannot recommend this place enough! Reviewed on 07-10-2020
Alivia Winslow(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-06-2020 This place was amazing! During COVID our other reception canceled on us TWO WEEKS before the wedding and when I called this place they were able to get us in and near our low budget. They were very accommodating and took care of all the food and lead the guests where they needed to be. The view of the ocean was spectacular! We were ten feet away from the water alone! It was just gorgeous and the food wasn’t half bad either. Reviewed on 09-07-2020
