Why Couples Choose Embassy Suites St. Augustine

  • Spacious ballroom: The Grand Ballroom is one of the larger event spaces in St. Augustine proper, accommodating guest lists that many of the city's smaller historic venues cannot.

  • Works for weddings and corporate events equally well: The hotel's ballroom environment and event infrastructure serve both wedding receptions and corporate gatherings.

How a Typical Wedding Day Flows Here

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. Footloose Entertainment is on the hotel's preferred vendor list and coordinates both phases with the event team before your wedding day.
