Some people go above and beyond to make your day special and easy- Craig is one of those people. He was there for us every step of the way (and even steps I didn’t know about!). Apparently my family was calling him with requests that I had no idea about and he took care of everyone. He made the day so special for me and my husband. Every time I had a question he would promptly respond. He let us in early to set up center pieces, was present at the tasting with the head chef, and coordinated day of and day before events. The space is beautiful. The bridal suite is everything I could have wanted in a space to get ready. I cannot day enough about the Hilton!

I used the Hilton Alexandria Old Town as one of my wedding hotels and my experience with the Hilton group was nothing but positive. My contacts were Rommel Loja, Cathi Kuziw and Rhonda Holt. Each one was very professional and helpful. Their properties include Hilton Garden Inn, Hilton Alexandria and the Embassy Suites - this provides a lot of flexibility depending on your needs, and their location can't be beat in terms of convenience for your guests. Rommel met my needs for a suite of an appropriate size for me, my mom and sister to get ready in the morning of the wedding.

We had both our wedding and ceremony at the Hilton. We worked with Craig L. and he was great! The staff was great, the space was beautiful, and it was a wonderful location since most of our guests came from out of town. It's walking distance to metro and walking distance for our guests to enjoy old town. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best weather (it snowed in April!) but the venue was able to provide us with great spots to take pictures. If you're considering having your wedding in the DC area you should absolutely give them a call at the Hilton!

Working with Lindsay at the Hilton made our day perfect. She answered all of my questions during planning and was very accommodating. The day of the wedding she made sure everything was running smoothly. The Hilton staff was great and worked with us from parking to breakfast and holding luggage and tuxes. The food at the reception was outstanding and many guests commented that they couldn't believe how good it was.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them.
From start to finish, every single staff member at the Hilton is amazing. Lindsay Kahler and her entire crew are SO attentive, and do everything in their power to make your day extra special. Our food and set up was spectacular, and it was all thanks to the staff there.
The location doesn't get any better either, especially if you have out of town guests since it's literally right across the street from the King Street metro.
Definitely suggest using them!

I really enjoyed working with the folks at the Hilton Old Town throughout my wedding planning process. Lindsay was extremely helpful, and was always able to answer the multitude of questions I threw her way. She always found a way to make my special requests work. The entire staff is extremely professional, and friendly as well. The service is top notch! The space was very comfortable for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, and the facilities are neat and clean. Lindsay worked with us all the way through the planning process, and when the big day came, it seemed effortless, which is a testament to Lindsay's organization skills! And one more thing - the food was excellent!!

The Hilton Old Town was the PERFECT place for my reception. Courtney (the in-house meetings planner) was completely awesome. The process of planning the room space, menus, and lodging was so easy compared to the packages I was presented by other hotels in the area. The hotel has a variety of options for the reception, we used both the outside terrace for a cocktail hour, the foyer for our bar, and the salon for the sit down dinner and reception. The serving staff were very professional and made their work seem like it was easy (even though we all know working a room of 100 plus people for dinner and desert is quite hard!). The hotel offers a "brides room" in their restaurant where you can slip away for a moments peace, your guests can quiet a cranky child, etc. A biiiiiig plus for me was how clean the facilities are from the floors to the restrooms to the serving areas. The chef did an excellent job with our menu selections, and was willing to work with us on small details. Perhaps the best part of the experience was how easy the contract, billing, and payments were. There weren't any sort of "extra" charges on the bills (which I have had happen at other business meetings) only the agreed upon services and charges. Our guests who stayed there in our room block, especially those from out of town, were just awed at how nice the staff and accomidations were. Because of the location of the hotel we were also able to offer "green directions" to our events through metro, dash, and local trails. All in all it was an excellent experience and my day was made that much better for having chosen the Hilton Old Town.

I had my ceremony and wedding reception at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town in April 2012 and I was so happy with how my wedding turned out. The food was really good (we had a buffet with two entrees), the service was awesome, and the venue was beautiful. The bridal suite/wedding suite was gorgeous as well with a full kitchen, bedroom and living room and plenty of room to get ready for your big day. It rained on my wedding day so the ceremony had to be moved inside. The staff was really great about this and worked with my vendors to make sure that everything was perfect.

These are the top 5 reasons why I would recommend this venue:
1. You can have your ceremony & reception in the same place and have the option of having an outdoor ceremony or cocktail hour or a really small reception. The outside ceremony space included the arbor as well.
2. The menu price included a 4 hour openbar.
3. The venue is really pretty and is right in Old Town Alexandria so you can walk to take wedding pictures.
4. The venue is right across the street from the King Street Metro which is very convenient for out of town guests that want to make a mini-vacation out of your wedding and visit the touristy parts of DC.
5. The bridal suite is gorgeous! I took a bunch of pictures in there and it was also very comfortable for the bridal party to change and eat. We left for our honeymoon the next day so it was nice to have the space to put our big suitcases. The fridge also came in handy for storing the top layer of our wedding cake.

My only complaint was that pieces of my wedding puzzle guest book were misplaced and lost by the hotel staff. I contacted the hotel and they graciously offered to replace my puzzle. The puzzle was unfortunately irriplaceable because each piece was hand-cut but the hotel was able to credit my Hilton Honors account with extra points to compensate for the loss.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel to any bride in a heartbeat.

Everything at the Hilton was fantastic! Such an amazing venue, it was absolutely beautiful. All of my guests raved about the prime location. Everyone who helped with my wedding was so accomodating! It was great!

This hotel is fabulous. Lindsay Kahler is amazing. I had trouble with responses from her at first, when the initial planning of it all. But the decision days and the day of the wedding, she was amazing. She had answers for everything, accommadated my requests, and made things run amazingly. She even noted with the cocktail hour started early and people were getting a little too toasty, to recommend moving on to the reception early. It was great. We had the courtyard for our ceremony and the big ballroom for the reception. I was so hesitant to have a wedding at a hotel, but Old Town is a dream, and where my husband and I went on our first date, where he proposed, where we lived, it was perfect. They take of everything and I was so happy with it.

The food is good, but the appetizers were the highlight. Everyone raved about the cocktail hour. perhaps we picked good ones, but they were delicious. They also delivered our presents to our room and the top of the cake and left overs for us to enjoy. It was amazing. Care free and wonderful service!
