As an events Specialist I work with a variety of Venues. This Venue and staff are by far some of the best people to work with. They are knowledgeable and make themselves accessible in every aspect of an event. Clients are well informed and and kept in constant contact with their assigned venue manager for updates and deadlines. As a Vendor this makes things easier and helps us work more efficiently.

We chose Embassy Suites for access to the atrium for a bagpipe and dance presentation, their spacious meeting room and prep rooms for our pipers and dancers, available rooms for attendees to stay overnight, and the outstanding service that Claudia and her team gave us. We will be returning to Embassy Suites for our 2026 Robert Burns Banquet and are already looking forward to it.

Twelve29 was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Sara answered all of my many questions in a timely manner and with patience. Chris gave us a wonderful tour of the space and helped us select the ideal bar package. The warehouse has a beautiful, industrial look that required barely any extra decorations. Our guests raved about the layout and aesthetic. Everything ran flawlessly thanks to the staff's attention to detail. A small hiccup with our caterer was smoothly handled by Chris so we could relax and enjoy our reception. The team even swiftly cleaned up some broken glass at the end so we didn't have to worry. For a stress-free wedding with beautiful ambiance, I wholeheartedly recommend Twelve29.
