Beautiful weekend!

I cannot express enough how absolutely amazing our wedding was at the Hilton over this past weekend! Katie and Todd were so attentive, caring, supportive, and helpful during our special day. Katie was instrumental in pulling everything together over the several months of planning. From beginning to end the experience was beyond our expectations. Our guests gave many compliments on the food, decorations, and ambiance which was all taken care of by the Hilton. With the beautiful weather we were able to utilize the outdoor courtyard. Then the transition to the cocktail hour then the ballroom was seamless. Highly recommended to any and all couples looking for a stunning wedding.

June Wedding 2024

Choosing to have our wedding at the Hilton was the best decision we could have made. With their all-inclusive packages, it takes the stress out of planning a big event. Katie the wedding coordinator, was so professional and flexible with changes. She always responded in a timely manner and answered all of my questions leading up to the event which made me feel at ease. What else can I say other than we had the best night of our lives! Decor was put together beautifully, food was great, and service was wonderful. Guests had many positive things to say and I will be recommending this location to others in the future. Thank you again to Katie and the staff at the Hilton/Christiana!

Great wedding venue, and an excellent service

We were looking for an intimate Indian wedding venue in the Delaware area. After some research based on our needs, we landed at Hilton Christiana/Wilmington. We worked closely with Katie McDevitt and she has been extremely helpful to fit in our needs throughout the entire process.
We all had a fabulous celebration. Custom Indian food menu was amazing as well.
