Here at the Embassy Suites Columbia- Greystone, we are honored to have shared in so many memorable wedding weekends! It is a pleasure working so closely with the future Mr. and Mrs. to make their dream wedding come true. From our experiences, here are a few starter tools and tips to make your event remarkable!

Online Resources Book Your Sleeping Room Block Online - Set up a sleeping room block of

5-10 rooms is online with special rates for your out of town guests! First, go to Embassysuitescolumbia.com. Next, check availability for 5-10 rooms on the date you are interested in. You will automatically be prompted to set up a group block reservation. Confirmations are e-mailed directly to you and no phone calls are necessary - though event planners are always ready should you wish to speak with someone directly.

Guest List Manager - this tool provides instant access to your online group

reservation details and guest room information. Book rooms directly for your guests or view room count by room type.

Personalized Group Web Page - create a private and customizable web

page dedicated to your event. Personalize it with event details and photographs. Your guests can book reservations directly online from this web page, which also interfaces with your guest list manager and provides 24/7 access to your room block.

Hilton Honors Points – Utilize the Hilton Honors program to gain extra points

for your event! Earn one Hilton Honors Bonus Point for every eligible dollar spent toward the master account. Eligible revenue will include guest room revenue, banquet revenue, and meeting room rental. Not a Hilton Honors Member? Signing up is complimentary and easy to do! Go to www.HiltonHonors.com to get started!

Tips to Get Started Determine Your Guest Count- How large of a

wedding do you want to host? An intimate affair of 75 guests, or a lavish party of 500? Start by drafting your guest list to help you determine how much space you will need, and what budget you would like to work with.

Decide What is Most Important- Every couple is

different. Some place more value on attire, others want to make sure that their food and beverage is top-notch. Evaluate which aspects of the wedding are most important to you to help you decide where you want to splurge, and where you would prefer to save. This is a good starting point to build your budget, and narrow down the many options ahead of you!

Get Personal- This is your special day! There are many

ways to make sure it reflects you and your fiancé's special relationship. Incorporate a theme, signature drink, or set of songs that show off your taste! Photographs, family heirlooms, and personalized table numbers are all great ways to add a personal touch!

Leave it to the Professionals– Planning a wedding

can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! There are plenty of wedding professionals right here in Columbia that are happy to assist you! Utilize their talent, experience, and advice to create a spectacular event that you can relax and enjoy!
