SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATIONS | $300

The Embassy ballrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art drop down ceiling screens and ceiling mounted hi-lumens LCD projectors with built-in sound capabilities. Simply provide your DVD with your presentation and we’ll take care of the rest! Your personal photos and music can tell the story of your early childhood beginnings with family and friends, and progress to how the bride and groom first met, fell in love and got engaged. These presentations are generally viewed while your guests are enjoying desserts. What a great way to add that personal touch and end the night on the big screen for this special occasion. SPECIAL ORDERED GROOM’S CAKES | variable pricing may apply

Groom’s cakes are a long-standing Southern tradition and a very personal gift from the bride to the groom. A groom's cake is typically smaller than the couple's wedding cake; usually one layer only and is decorated to reflect a particular hobby or interest of the groom. For example, a groom that loves cigars may be made in the shape and color of a humidor. The groom who enjoys basketball could have a groom's cake resembling his favorite team’s basketball. In recent years, Rehearsal Dinners have become the ideal time to display the decorated groom’s cake and have it served in lieu of or with traditional desserts.

The hotel’s partnership with Edible Art Bakery & Dessert Café has enabled us to provide our clients the convenience of planning these incredible works of edible masterpieces at a preferred vendor’s discount and with no additional delivery charges. If you can imagine it, they can probably create it. Feel free to order your Groom’s cake with the assistance of your Catering Sales Manager, or contact Edible Art Bakery & Dessert Café directly | 919.856.0604 or visit them online www.edibleartbakery.com. ADDITIONAL PREFERRED VENDOR SERVICES

If you desire private entertainment or have the need for a reliable florist, please consult with your Catering Sales Manager for preferred vendor recommendations. Please note that you do not have to secure services from our preferred vendors. However, we strongly encourage you to consult with them, as they have over time proven to provide consistent, high-quality and reliable services and/or products.
