    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.

    Unmatched Experience

    Having our wedding at the Hilton Wilmington/Christiana was the best decision my husband and I could have ever made. Katie and her team were absolutely amazing and made the process seamless. From our first meeting a Katie was very professional and came prepared as she anticipated many of the questions I had before i got to ask them which was impressive, she provided me with a few links she used for her own wedding for items i had not thought of, and was really knowledgeable about the facility and all things leading up to our big day. During our food tasting she made sure the entrees were up the par and if we were not satisfied she remedied by offering customized options which was thoughtful and quite a surprise as we were not aware we could customize entrees. Additionally leading up to the big day I ran out if time to get place cards and the night of/ morning of, she completed our place cards for us and provided items we needed for our photo guest book. Words cannot express how much of a blessing Katie was during the wedding process and i am not sure how we would have made as painless as we did it without her. The entire hilton staff did such an amazing job and my guest raved about the food, drinks, and overall experience. I cant thank the Katie and Hilton staff enough and hands down would recommend this venue for a wedding or any other event!

    Fantastic venue!

    Our wedding and reception at the Hilton was perfect! Our wedding coordinator, Katie, communicated with us every step of the way and expertly made our vision for the ceremony and reception a reality. Katie and Todd, our day of coordinator, made sure everything ran smoothly the day of our event and thought of every detail. They were both fantastic! Our guests raved about the food (we had a taco bar that everyone loved!) and all of the staff were so welcoming. Everything you need for a wedding except for a DJ and photographer were included in the wedding package, which made planning easier than expected. The reception hall was beautiful and spacious, with lovely chandeliers. Overall, we’d highly recommend the Hilton for your wedding!

    Beautiful wedding venue & convenient

    I fell in love with the Hilton Christina as soon as I walked in the door. It is a stunning hotel and matched my vision perfectly. I got married on NYE so it was very convenient to be able to party into the new year & then be able to just walk to our hotel room! Made it safe for my guests as well. The Hilton packages make your wedding planning experience stress free as they include the catering and alcohol and have partnerships to supply your flowers & cake. We only needed to find a DJ and photographer!

    Amazing wedding day

    Theresa and Kelly met all of my expectations! They were very organized and always responded promptly. I had a lot of ideas and questions which they always answered and helped bring my vision to life. Leading up to the wedding, I was able to drop off all of my decor which they set up and they were very thorough with the timeline for the day of the wedding. They brought us anything we needed the day of the wedding. No request was denied. They truly went above and beyond what we needed! The day of the wedding, they contacted all of the vendors and made sure they knew where to set up. The hubby and I were so busy that they boxed up our food with a few extra surprises in our honeymoon suite. At the wedding, no one was hungry at all. We had plenty of apps, servicing stations, plus the first course and the actual meal. They truly went the extra mile. I trusted them 100% and they did not disappoint. I plan on having other events at the Hilton due to the service.

    Best Night Ever!

    My husband and I originally wanted to book the Hilton because my husband’s whole side of the family is not from Delaware. We wanted a quick and easy access to their hotel rooms. His family was even able to get it for a discounted rate. We were extremely happy to work with Hilton and their wedding coordinators. They made the process easy for us. Communication was wonderful and it felt very organized. I had complete trust in them to make the dream come to real life. Everything was beautiful and the food was delicious. The groom and bride’s parents were extremely pleased and impressed on how attentive the team was.

    We can’t thank them enough for all their hard work! The day was perfect with no issues that we were aware of! I would recommend the Hilton to anyone getting married/private event.

    Beautiful venue, easy process

    Having our wedding at Hilton Wilmington/Christiana was the best decision ever! The package we chose was all inclusive which made it so much easier to plan a wedding in 4 months. They gave you an option of 2 bakers to choose your wedding cake from (which was included in the package), and a choice of 2 florists to choose your centerpieces from (which were also included although we didn't do flower centerpieces, we used the florist for our bouquets). We had our ceremony in the courtyard which was so beautiful and the reception in the banquet hall which was beautiful and spacious. Teresa was so easy to work with and was very responsive. She walked us through the whole process and kept us on track to making sure that we had everything ready to go. It was honestly a very easy process and we had the most beautiful and fun wedding we could pull off in 4 months!! The food was delicious (we chose the salmon and stuffed chicken option) and the open bar was great too! Having a room for the night and rooms blocked off for our guests was very convenient! The location is close to the highway and easy to get to, and there is plenty of parking. Beautiful areas to take pictures as well available on site! Having a bridal suite for the whole day, made getting ready a breeze!

    Our Moment

    Deciding to have our wedding and reception here was the best choice we could have made. Everything was done professionally and according to our wishes and some added surprises (Thanks Theresa! :-) ). We chose the outdoor garden/patio, the fountain was a beautiful back drop for the ceremony and pictures. What can we say about the food.....absolutely delicious, presentation superb!

    Absolutely Amazing

    From start to finish, the staff at the Hilton Wilmington/Christiana were receptive to our wedding vision and worked tirelessly to help us execute a perfect celebration. The food was delicious with large portions with each of our guests feeling full. The ballroom space and outside courtyard was elegant and met all of our needs. The greatest asset of all was the employees, Todd and Theresa (and many others), who spent many hours with great thought and care towards making our wedding day a dream come true. We look forward to visiting the Hilton Christiana/Wilmington again very soon and would 100% recommend this venue for a dream wedding!

    Wonderful Reception experience

    Hilton Christiana team made my wedding rehearsal dinner/ reception wonderful experiences. The menu choices were varied and affordable, and what my husband and I choose all turned out to be delicious. Sales Coordinator was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Day of staff was accommodating and my guests were so complimentary of the staff, venue, and food. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a rehearsal/reception venue in the Newark area. Absolutely competitive with other local venues.

    The team at Chrisitiana Hilton is experienced and accommodating. Every person we interacted with was willing to help us in any way that they could. We were able to book our venue with food, drinks, and decor within our tight budget. Highly recommend booking them for your big day!

    The Most Amazing Experience Ever

    As we begun our journey to the best day of our lives we shopped many venues, did the necessary tours and received pricing. Obviously we settled with the Hilton for a few reason: 1. It smelled amazing when we walked through the doors. 2. They were very flexible with our ideas and receptive to modification we wanted to make. 3. Leah...sweet and gracious Leah, she was there every step of the way. 4. The food...OMG the food. We didn't want the typical wedding food we wanted our guest to leave full and that they did. We received and still receive awesome feedback of the amount of food and quality. 5. The look and feel of the wedding space was elegant, soft and left much room to transfer the space. The bridal suite was very spacious with 5 women a flower girl MUA and hair stylist we still had plenty of room without feeling we were on top of each other. Oh and another perk the suite is on a private floor.
    All of my guest stayed onsite and were amazed by the accommodation and the staff. Jessica made the room block process seamless and provided regular updates she was just as amazing as Leah.
    The Butler staff Shaq and Alfredo catered to our every need even prior to the wedding when we would just show up to look at the space and ask questions.
    We were even taken care of after the wedding, the staff made sure we had food to eat and even left us a nice gift after the wedding in the honeymoon suite.
    I can go on and on regarding our experience. If we had to do it all over again the Hilton will still be our choice.

    Dream Wedding Weekend

    Thank you to the staff of the Christiana Hilton in Newark DE for helping to make our daughter’s wedding weekend a dream come true! From the rehearsal dinner to the cocktail hour, reception and farewell breakfast; it all went perfectly. Leah was great to work with. She answered every question and request, even arranging the unconventional New Orleans Second Line from the patio to the ballroom! Our guests travelled from over 10 different states and loved the convenience of having all the festivities at the hotel and it was great to have the hotel shuttle transport our guests to the church and back again. The ballroom was beautiful, the food was wonderful and overall a great experience.

    The Most Perfect Day

    Our wedding at the Hilton was absolutely amazing. The only thing that went wrong the day of was the fact that it rained. The staff did everything possible to make sure it was still the best possible event it could be, even with having to make last minute changes on the fly. When we did our initial meeting to tour the venue, Leah could not have done a better job to sell us on it. She was extremely helpful with answering all our questions and also got back to us in a very timely manner. I was so confident that all details were perfectly planned for the wedding that I was not stressing and was fully able to enjoy the day. Alfredo was our day of contact for the wedding and he was absolutely amazing. He was right there whenever we needed him and told us everything we needed to do as it came up. All our family and bridal party made multiple comments about how good of a job he did. One of our eight year old flower girls said she wants him to work her wedding (many, many years from now). I can't put into words how good the food was. We had our rehearsal dinner there the night before and everyone ranted and raved about how good the food was at both meals.

    Coming from someone who works in operations and normally stresses about making sure everything is perfectly planned and goes off without a flaw, I can honestly say I did not have to worry about a thing due to the staff at the Hilton. All details were planned to a T and our wedding day was the most perfect day it could have been, shared with our closest family and friends.

    Amazing Venue

    This venue is amazing. Leah worked with us from the beginning until the end. She answered calls and emails in a timely manner and always had the answers.
    The guests had a great time from the food to the beautiful room, everything was perfect!
    Alfredo helped us the day of the wedding and he took all my decorations and cake and had them packed up ready to go for me the next day. I would recommend this venue to anyone!!!

    Best wedding ever!

    We had our “Surprise” wedding at the Hilton Christiana in May and were blown away by the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of food, atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. The staff was so attentive and professional every step of the way, from Leah, who answered every email and phone call, to all of the day of staff who helped orchestrate the best surprise wedding ever. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing and were cheerful and helpful. The customer service was out of this world.

    We never felt rushed, and everything ran like clockwork. We could only imagine the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make it all happen. It is to the Hilton’s credit that this all happened so effortlessly, allowing us to have a stress-free experience.

    I can’t say enough good things about the food and drinks. All our guests commented on the quality and quantity of food. Alfredo, made sure we had plenty of food sent to our suite, which was also provided by the Hilton.

    Our guests are still talking about how it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Thank you from the both of us for making sure we had the perfect day. It truly was the best day EVER!

    Leah and her team gave us a fantastic wedding!

    We had our weddding on Feb 02, and Leah and her team gave us a fantastic wedding! First of all, Hilton provides the most elegant set up for everything, the decoration of guest reception tables, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour tables, and the reception tables. Secondly, they are very flexible and professional, they coordinated my other vendors very well to make sure the flow is smooth. They also provide a special drink that was designed for my wedding, which is peach color cocktail drink, we love the drink! All in all, our guests spent a great time together, they love the food, drink, the service, the breakfast and everything during the wedding. After the wedding they provided us a sweet hotel rooms with chocolate and champagne, and we had spent the most wonderful night at Hilton. I strongly recommend my friends to hold their wedding at Hilton Wilmington/Christiana.

    Best venue ever

    Where do we begin with our gratitude and thanks to the Hilton Christiana!?
    The Hilton was the last of MANY venues we looked at and all it took was one visit, I knew the search was over! The location was perfect, accommodations were gorgeous, food was amazing, and the all inclusive pricing took away so many worries and extra planning details that I was stressing over!
    Leah and all of the staff at Hilton Christiana really made our wedding the dream day we had imagined. Right from our first visit we were made to feel at home and could immediately envision our wedding there.
    The personal touches that Leah worked hard to make happen for us were indescribable. (EX: We wanted Donuts instead of Wedding Cake. DONE. We wanted Whiskey Shots for our Unity Ceremony. DONE.)
    She was always available by phone or email and readily answered the many, many, many questions we had up until the big day.
    On the day of, we had absolutely nothing to worry about. The Hilton Christiana Team ran the whole day seamlessly, if there were any issues we never knew about them!
    From Leah and Jessica working behind the scenes, the wonderful Front Desk Staff, and Alfredo catering to our every need – it truly was the best day ever. Alfredo truly deserves special recognition. From the Rehearsal to the After Party, he was guiding us along every step of the way and provided nothing less than PERFECTION. I can not imagine our day with out him!
    There are not enough words to give the thanks you all deserve! Thank you again for everything!
    PS- we loved our experience and The Hilton Christiana so much that we now come the first of every month to have a drink together and celebrate another month of marriage bliss.

    With our best wishes,
    Ryan & Renee Jones

    An elegant luncheon for 25

    We wanted to thank you and your staff for the most wonderful luncheon.  We could not have asked for more.  Your attention to detail made the day go so smoothly.

    Alfredo was amazing and his staff was excellent.  He didn’t even flinch when we arrived a bit early.  All of our guests praised the food and service.

    No one went home hungry; that is for sure.  Please pass on our thanks and praise to all involved including the chef.  Everything was fantastic.

    Words can't describe how great the staff is. Leah goes above and beyond to help make things run as smooth as possible. The day of my rehearsal and actual wedding day went absolutely perfect thanks to Todd and Shaq. No matter what was needed how big or small they were right there. I definitely recommend the Hilton for events.
