Great summer wedding experience!

We had a great lunchtime wedding reception at the Hilton City Avenue in June. Randy was very responsive during the planning process, particularly to specifics about our reception’s timing, and was very responsive to email, calls, and in-person conversations at the hotel site. Our food, cake, and decor was beautiful on the day of and we were able to have a special time celebrating with our guests. It was very reasonably priced compared to other options in or even nearby to Philly, and included complimentary parking unlike nearly any other reception site. Would definitely recommend it to any couple in the Philly area!

Our Wedding Day

We love the Hilton! Our wedding was everything we envisioned it to be and we couldn't have asked for a better team to put it all together! The food is amazing and our guests loved the dessert display at the end of the night. My family has attended a few other events at the Hilton and when we decided to have our wedding there, we knew from the jump that it was the right decision! Everyone is so nice and our guests partied into the night and had a great time! Randy made everything super easy for us too and even recommended vendors for us to use which helped us a lot! Love the Hilton!

Excellent venue and staff!

We absolutely loved the Hilton Philadelphia on City Avenue! Randy was our wedding planner and he did everything for us! He made sure our day was magical from the start of the planning process to the end of our wedding day! We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married! You get your money's worth in so many ways but especially because the valet parking is included in the package price and the food was absolutely phenomenal! They even let us bring two additional people to our tasting and everyone loved the food! Randy even sat with us and took all of our suggestions! We were so pleased with everything! Thank you to Randy and the Hilton for making our day so special!
