There's a Chill in the Air!

December is here! The year is wrapping up, the temperature is dropping, and we're getting ready for some holiday parties! Here's a look at our lovely atrium with some decorations:

Pretty lights and shiny ornaments always put me in a festive mood for the holidays! Right now, you'll see little touches like this all over the hotel, which helps to create a great atmosphere for our holiday parties.

On an unrelated note, I'd like to apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the "A Dream Come True" Bridal Show -- it had to be postponed due to illness in several members of the planning staff. It will be rescheduled, and I will let everyone know about the new date well in advance. Keep checking this blog, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages for news and updates. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions about planning a wedding for yourself or someone else at our property. 2010 is going to bring even more reasons to hold your wedding at Embassy Suites -- it's the sweetest way to begin your new life together!

Happy Holidays and Best Wishes to everyone, from the Embassy Suites Nashville Airport team!!

A Dream Come True Bridal Show

Hello Everyone! It has been a while since we've posted anything, but the past few months have been super. We have some wonderful new additions to the Embassy Suites Wedding Family, including Keri & Timothy, Courtney & Pierre, Sheteka & Michael, Lauren & Dashaun, Emily & Brad, and our latest addition, Rachel & Jeremy, who celebrated this past weekend with a stunning black, white, and scarlet-hued reception in our Grand Ballroom.

We've got some exciting news to share -- together with A Magical Affair, we'll be hosting the "A Dream Come True Bridal Show" here at the Embassy Suites Nashville Airport on Sunday, November 8, 2009 from 1pm - 5pm. We'll have the atrium set up for a wedding ceremony, there will be a bunch of vendors, and we'll even have a special place just for the guys, so bring 'em along! Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. Call 615-522-5448 or email me at amber.payne@hilton.com with any questions. Hope to see you there!

Doing Social Media RIGHT!

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a seminar called "Doing Social Media RIGHT!" The seminar was put together by our friend Courtney Hammons of A Magical Affair, and speakers included Christine Boulton of Think Like a Bride and Zach & Jody Gray of Gray Photography. I think we all learned a LOT -- I know I did. It was wonderful to meet some new people as well as see some familiar faces. Looking forward to connecting with you all on Twitter and Facebook!

May Showers Can't Dampen Our Beautiful Weddings!

This month has certainly been a damp one outside, but weddings are still cozy and sweet at the Embassy Suites! I wanted to share with everyone the latest events since it has been a while since I've posted new pictures.

We were fortunate enough this month to work with Wendy and her amazing staff at One Source Weddings when they created one of the most beautiful events we've EVER had here. Our Grand Ballroom was the location for both the wedding ceremony AND reception, which is not our norm, but everything flowed well and looked incredible.

The walls and ceiling of the ballroom were draped with white fabric, lights were added to match the wedding color palette of blue and fuschia, dramatic and gorgeous centerpieces created by One Source Weddings provided a real "WOW" factor, and beautiful silver and white linens from our friend Liz at Connie Duglin Linen added a special touch of elegance. The lovely wedding cake was created by Signature Cakes by Vicki.

Spring and Summer Weddings!

Spring will be here soon (hopefully -- fingers crossed) and we are getting ready for a wonderful Spring and Summer wedding season!! I have spoken with a lot of brides recently who have always wanted a Spring or Summer wedding, but they are on the verge of making a decision to wait until later in the year or even next year because they think 1) everything is more expensive in the Spring / Summer and

2) the economy will get better. We all hope the economy

improves, and unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about that. However, what I can do is offer an incredible deal that might help those of you who would really like to move forward and HAVE that romantic Spring or Summer wedding you've always dreamed of!

We are going to offer an unprecedented 15 PERCENT off our package prices for any new wedding event booked to take place before August 31, 2009. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This could mean some serious savings for you. Why plan your wedding day at a location where you have to provide your own food, work with a ton of different vendors, and put all of your friends and family to work in order to make it all happen? Our professional, experienced staff is waiting to handle the details for you, and there has NEVER been a better time to take advantage of our award-winning service!

Bridal Show Buzz

So 2009 is here, and I've already met so many brides who are getting married this year! The Bridal Show was a lot of fun. It was great to see both new and familiar faces at our booth. Here is a picture of our booth, which I decorated this time with a little Asian flair:

Many thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello. We had over two hundred people sign up to win the Hollywood Romance Upgrade to their reception with us. I am still in the process of notifying the finalists -- if you're wondering if you are one of them, call or email me so I can check. Also, all Bridal Show attendees keep in mind that our BRIDAL SHOW SPECIAL is in effect until March 15, 2009.

I'm currently taking appointments for 2009 weddings, so give me a call to set one up if you'd like to take a tour of the hotel and discuss your plans. I'm here to help you make 2009 a memorable year!
