Excellence
I can not say enough good things about Azurah and her team. They are exceptional to work with—communicative, attentive, and genuinely invested in the success of each event. They are proactive, quick to respond, and always willing to collaborate, which makes a huge difference during the planning process.
It’s clear that Aurah and her team take pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. I always look forward to events at DoubleTree Hilton – Riverside Bay City and I can not recommend them enough!
Amazing Venue
Exceptional Service & Amazing Wedding Experience
Additionally, the Hotel Staff went above and beyond to deliver the wedding of our dreams, and all of our loved ones enjoyed their stay. Living in the Detroit Area, the attentiveness of the Hotel allowed me to feel as though the distance to Bay City would never stand in the way of my Wedding Day going smoothly.
We had our Ceremony in the space as well, in addition to Cocktail Hour. We also got married in Off-Season, which opened up several perks including a Hot Cocoa and S'mores station at our Reception! The Hotel provided tables, linens, delicious entrees, and so much more. I would suggest the Hilton Doubletree Riverfront Hotel to anyone who is looking for an amazing and affordable venue!
Our Wedding Was Absolutely Beautiful!
