I loved my venue and Matt was wonderful. I cannot rave about him or the food more. There were small things that I felt could have been handled differently / better on the day of the wedding, but overall - the place was stunning, the staff was fabulous, the food was amazing (my guests are still raving!!) and Matt (to this day) is one of the best people I've ever worked with in planning an event of this magnitude.

We worked with Heidi at the Alexandria Hilton Mark Center and she worked wonders for us. She worked with us from start to finish on many things that we had requested. We had our ceremony and reception all in one place, which made it easy for our out of town guests who attended the wedding. We had hoped to have our ceremony outside, but the humidity was to high that day, but at least we were able to get our pictures outside. The grounds are just so beautiful with gazebo and the water foundation you couldn't ask for much more.

The reception was just beautiful, it was everything we imagine it could be. Everything came together just liked we planned. The servers were very polite and professional and made sure your glasses were full and asked how the dinner was. I would recommend the Hilton at Mark Center in Alexandria to others and request Heidi.

75 person wedding reception

Worked with 2 different employees. The original wedding coordinator had vacation the week leading up to our wedding. We were initially told an "all in price" per person, - taxes & fees included, we specifically asked this but it turned out not to be correct- it was much higher. Communications were at times, very slow. We went with this Hilton because they had everything we needed for a wedding reception: discounted rooms, close to DC, parking, multiple ballrooms, and a wide variety of food options for cocktail hour and dinner.

When Hillary, who does business functions, took over she was very responsive. She made the lead up to and the actual wedding reception happen without issue- it was great to work with her. She helped with small touches, like let us store our centerpieces in an air conditioned conference room the night before and helped us access them the day of, for placing them on the tables.

For our wedding reception itself, we were pleasantly surprised at how well( mostly) everything went. The cocktail hour was a hit, everyone loved the past hor d'oeuvres. For dinner service, everything came out very quickly. The staff they had on hand was excellent. For the actual dinner, we went with the flat iron steak and we really couldn't believe how good it was. It was better than what you would get at a great restaurant and even comparable to most name-brand steak houses.

The only hangup during dinner was the way the wedding cake was handled. We had a sheet cake (in the kitchen) to supplement our 3 tier cake wedding cake. The plan was after the cake cutting, we expected them to take our wedding out back and bring out pre-cut pieces. Unfortunately, that did not happen, which spoiled our attempt at having a hidden cake out back, with pre-cut pieces.

We had about 75 people at our reception and spent about $10k total. We were very happy with the end result and would use this Hilton again for other events.

Laure was a pleasure to work with from start to finish; very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. The food was great, the staff was professional and the venue was setup nicely. When our open bar changed into a cash bar after the cocktail hour the cashier setup was a little odd; an employee at a small table with several tickets, it looked more like someone selling raffle tickets.
Laure was great at handled our overly excitable officiant elegantly allowing our ceremony and reception to continue without any snags. She took care of setup of our candy bar, candles, escort pumpkins (instead of cards) and other small details to alleviate stress. The hotel property is really well maintained and a nice setting for pictures, I wouldn't hesitate to host another function here again.

The Hilton at Mark Center is a beautiful place to have a wedding. The food is DELICIOUS. The Gazebo is LOVELY. The hotel has nice accommodations and amenities.

The staff member working closest with us for the wedding was okay. She was not always very good at answering questions or providing us with options. We felt we often came away with a sense of confusion and hoped that they knew what they were doing there.

The DJ complained to me that the consultant (Heidi Coblentz) should have been more involved on the actual wedding day. He stated that his timing of the ceremony music was off a bit because he could not tell when the wedding party changed. He said that it was her responsiblity to help out with that. We barely saw her that day. However, she did tell us that she would not be exclusively ours...so...keep that in mind when planning.

We were hooked up with fancy suites for the night before the wedding and wedding night and that was really nice. We also did a brunch the day after the wedding and the food and atmosphere there was great.

If you're considering having a wedding here, I'd spend some money on a wedding planner to help deal with the event organizer at Hilton (so you don't have to do it and be stressed out) and make sure timing of things on your actual wedding day go smoothly.

Average not impressed

The venue is beautiful but I was quite disappointed in the service and professionalism!!! Yvonne my wedding coordinator was so amazing but it’s unfortunate she left right before my wedding because a lot of the staff had no clue of what was in our contract and what we paid for. For their price, they should do better!
