The hotel's all-suite accommodations, on-site catering, and experienced event team make it a practical choice for weddings and corporate events where out-of-town guests are a significant part of the picture and where vendor logistics need to be simplified.
Footloose Entertainment is on Embassy Suites St. Augustine's preferred vendor list and provides entertainment for both weddings and corporate events at the hotel.

An Embassy Suites St. Augustine wedding typically begins with an outdoor ceremony on the hotel's terrace or grounds, followed by a cocktail hour in a pre-function area, then dinner and dancing in the Grand Ballroom.
From an entertainment standpoint, the Grand Ballroom is a well-equipped reception space for a full DJ and dance floor setup. The outdoor ceremony requires a wireless microphone system.

Embassy Suites St. Augustine occupies a uniquely convenient position for guests — the on-site accommodations mean most of your wedding party and out-of-town guests are already at the venue, which changes the energy of the night. People stay later, dance longer, and the evening has a natural momentum that hotel weddings with scattered accommodations don't always get.
Ceremony music is often on the terrace or outdoor grounds before guests move inside for cocktail hour and the Grand Ballroom reception. The hotel's full-service event team handles room logistics, so your entertainment vendor is focused purely on the sound and energy side.
