Excellent service

We are grateful that we pick embassy suite Monterey bay to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday. The ambiance, the food, the service, and the personal touches made our event extra special. Lauren, our event coordinator was always there for us with any questions we have or special request we need. The success of our daughter’s special day was not just the venue but the service that Embassy suite of Monterey bay had provided and we are grateful beyond words. Thank you!

The best experience

From the moment we made contact with the Embassy suites team, they were nothing but courteous, accommodating and willing to help. Our experience has been superb in getting all our wedding details ironed out with Lauren Weaver and her team.

From planning to the financials everything in between, it was all crystal clear to us, and if any questions were to come up, they would help us in a heartbeat.

The day of the event, we had no worries as Lauren and her team were there for every moment going above and beyond what was hoped for and expected.

If you are looking for a venue that is not only beautiful and has all the amenities, but also has super service, look no further, as this team will help you manifest your dreams into a reality.

A perfect Sweet 16 party

The hotel and the staff were wonderful. Our event manager Melody Rico was very responsive and worked with us on all our needs. Our family stayed there for 2 days and every one had a great time. The party was a great success.
