The Hilton Garden Inn was a fabulous place to get married! It was the first venue we looked at and thought "wait can't pick the first one right?" So we dutifully looked at other places but kept coming back to the HGI. After booking, the rest of the process was easy! We were kept well informed and any questions we had were answered promptly. The day off went off without a hitch (that, as the bride, I ever knew about anyway!) The staff were all so attentive and friendly and the food was out of the world!! Three months later people are still talking about what a great time they had and how delicious everything was! I would absolutely recommend the Hilton Garden Inn to anyone!

My husband Jeff and I had our cocktail hour/reception, and send-off breakfast at HGI Hamilton this past Saturday. We also reserved a block of rooms for our guests. Everything was absolutely perfect! Rachel was our maitre d/point of contact for our reception. As soon as I met her, I knew that I wanted to work with her! She is extremely down to earth, friendly, and organized. She answered every question I had, and was so helpful! The night of the reception, she was everywhere, making sure that things were perfect. Helena helped me with the room block. She made sure that we had wheelchair accessible rooms, and if any issues came up with booking, she took care of it herself. It was so nice to have everything (other than our ceremony, which was at a church), in one place. Our guests knew that, once they were at the party, they didn't have to go anywhere. I would HIGHLY recommend HGI Hamilton!!!

My husband and I got married here, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and send-off brunch here. Rachel Brand was incredible through the planning stages and day of, as was the entire staff. Our guests raved about the wedding, food, and experience. We are so grateful to have celebrated our marriage here, everything was perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
