We had a amazing wedding day

We had a amazing wedding day with the help of the Embankment staff! Everyone was extremely accomodating on the day and made sure that everything went as planned. The food was delicious, served right on time and accomodating all our dietary requirements. The planing process was without any problems and Lianne was great at her job and helping us achieve our perfect day. She really went the extra mile and made us feel that we were in good hands!

The team members were pleasant

I booked a last minute 1 night break for my parents celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary and the whole experience of booking was straight forward. The team members were pleasant to deal with and helpful. My parents enjoyed their stay and got a chance to explore Bedford, thanks to the central location of the hotel. We also had family sunday lunch at the restaurant and overall was a positive experience.

My sister had her wedding there

My sister had her wedding there. I could not fault the service we received, they were very attentive. Catering for people with allergies. I didn't stay there, but I understand from my sister the rooms were good. I definitely will be going there again.

We used this venue as our wedding reception and they were great

We used this venue as our wedding reception and they were great! They helped us with our planning, stuck exactly to my neurotic plans and both the food and service were fabulous!. We stayed in the Honeymoon suite that night and the room was beautiful! A massive bed, luscious leather sofa, two comfy lounge chairs and a mini balcony overlooking the Embankment. The room also boasted a great shower and a huuuuge bath - with the taps in the middle so you can share :) ! We didnt know what time breakfast was so collected our leftover food, checked out, and waited outside for a taxi, when one of the waiters popped his head out and asked if we would like a bacon sarnie to go! Which, of course my husband did! We found them friendly and professional, all round we had a fabulous day :). Special thanks to the new manager who helped to plan our day, I am so sorry, I am terrible with names - I hope you know who you are - thanks so much. -Tracy L.

Perfect Day

We had a amazing wedding day with the help of the Embankment staff! Everyone was extremely accommodating on the day and made sure that everything went as planned. The food was delicious, served right on time and accommodating all our dietary requirements. The planning process was without any problems and Lianne was great at her job and helping us achieve our perfect day. She really went the extra mile and made us feel that we were in good hands! The room that we stayed in for 2 nights was just perfect. A large luxurious copper bath, large windows facing the river, spacious interior and large comfortable bed, what more could you want! Overall we would definitely recommend the Embankment as a wedding venue. If you are looking for an affordable, accommodating venue with delicious food in Bedford, you would be hard pressed to finthane better than The Embankment.

Fabulous

Wonderful venue. Lovely food. Great ambience. Only let down was our room, would have preferred a double bed not 2 singles pushed together.
