The updated meeting room, new and expanded technology options, new chairs, and highly accommodating staff, especially Michael Bailey, were a few of the reasons we were excited to be back at the [West] location. In fact, our IT team indicated it was the most user-friendly AV technology they had ever used – they would recommend never leaving Embassy Club West! Michael Bailey and his team ensured all of our needs were met, technology was dependable, and that everyone enjoyed the food and the venue. We were highly impressed with our experience at the Embassy Club West this year and plan to continue to exclusively use the venue for all of our company meeting and event needs.

Thank you for bringing your "A Team" to the party. Everyone raved about the elegant dinner. The bone in filet was perfection. The numbers were historic for the Art Center and [World Food Prize]. It could not have succeeded without you and your terrific staff.
–Janis Ruan
The staff was great & so accommodating all evening - bravo to each of them. The meal, of course, was superb! Everyone had a wonderful time, we're pretty sure!

Josue and his team did an outstanding job meeting every need of our guests. The bar staff were efficient and professional as well as all the lovely young people serving the delicious meal in a timely, friendly, and professional manner. Our compliments to the Chef and his staff for preparing everyone's dinner quickly and perfectly done. I had friends tell me it was the best filet they've had in years! And the popovers...exquisite!
You, too, Diane provided excellent communication and coordination. Everyone worked as a team to provide an outstanding experience. My deepest gratitude to you all!

Thank you all so much for the fantastic service, wonderful and delicious food and assistance in pulling off this huge event! You were all so kind, generous and professional, from the loading dock service people to the wait and bar staff, to the chef and executive personnel all through this whole experience. We will definitely be doing a function with you again, as will many of our members after their experience last evening.
–Paula Noonan
I had absolute confidence that you and the staff would translate my requests to reality the night of the dinner. Matt is a wonderful chef. The food was delicious and was presented beautifully. He was willing to work with us to incorporate family traditions, including our lefse and kransekake…. Most of all, I would commend the service provided by the staff the night of the event. Their service exceeded my expectations.
–Katie Sayre
Bravo to everyone at the Embassy for an exceptional job on Saturday. The setup, service and meal were beyond our expectations. Please pass on our sincere thanks to the chef and staff. The timing, temperature and presentation of each course was perfect!! The Embassy Club is Des Moines' best wedding venue for so many reasons.
–Myrna Ver Ploeg
We received lots of “best wedding food ever” compliments on the food. The set up was perfect and your staff went out of their way to accommodate our guests. The Embassy Club exceeded our expectations!
–Laura Averill
I don't know if I can put into to words how awesome our experience was at the Embassy Club for our wedding on Saturday. Every single person who attended the ceremony and reception was completely blown away by the experience. I honestly don't think there was one moment where I felt stressed out with the whole planning process, and that is because we had you to help with all of it! It was everything we had hoped for, and more! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
–Brooke Jones
Once again, thanks for making everything so easy for us last week. The event was a big success and your staff was wonderful. My last job was as GM of a private, member-owned club and good staff means everything. Hope to be back again.
–Paul Torricelli
The staff at the Embassy Club went above and beyond for the AAF of Des Moines before, during and after the event. We had multiple people compliment the food and the venue. The venue was the perfect location for the awards and I would definitely host another event at the Embassy Club.
–Jess Kennedy
THANK YOU for all your help in throwing the biggest (and best) party of our lives! We had a blast on our wedding day, and Embassy Club West was the perfect venue. Thanks for taking care of so many details and fielding so many questions prior to the wedding. We're grateful for the hospitality that we and all the guests enjoyed! And the delicious food was enjoyed by all too...several comments from the guests about that. Our wedding celebration could not have been any better, in no small part because of you and others at ECW. Many, many thanks for making it an incredible experience!
–Jill + Marty Williams
I'd like to thank you for such a wonderful evening this past Friday night. The ambiance was perfect, the service was exquisite and the food was amazing!! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. Please pass along a huge thank you to all that was involved. Our guests that evening were in awe and so appreciative (especially of the open bar-ha!).
–Terri Neiderhauser
We had so many compliments about the beautiful space, professional staff, and amazing food.
