Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace

My now wife and I chose the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace for our October 2018 wedding and we were not disappointed. This hotel situated only minutes from Disney Springs on the Walt Disney World Resort property, offers all the amenities one could ask for when planning a wedding.

We looked at a variety of hotel ballroom spaces and they were rather traditional in setting. However, the Citron Ballroom at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace is so unique and did not deceive, as it's exquisite art deco soffits and high ceilings, makes you feel like you are in a space reminiscent of the 1920s.

The offerings provided to us were just as amazing. For a reasonable price, we were provided chiavari chairs, colored linen options, an open bar, a space for the bride to get ready in prior to ceremony, an abundant array of food options for the cocktail hour and reception, and the list goes on.

Our Catering Sales Manager Aubrey was absolutely fantastic and deserves high kudos for assisting us in creating our dream wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with. She answered all of our questions in a timely fashion and she even went out of her way to surprise us in securing the Presidential Suite for the night of our wedding.

Since we had a lot of guests coming from out of town, we also decided to have the rehearsal dinner at the property as well. We chose venue 20Seven, an event space that overlooks the Walt Disney World Resort. The experience we had for this dinner was exceptional. We chose an Italian buffet featuring an abundance of offerings that did not disappoint the Italian families my wife and I have.

The kitchen staff at this property should be commended, as the food was outstanding. Our wedding menu consisted of a Seasonal Roasted Pear Salad and Angus Braised Short Rib or Roasted Garlic Crusted Chicken. The meat was absolutely tender and the chicken did not lack flavor at all. The meal was so memorable that our guests are still talking about it!

If you are looking for a place to have your wedding that offers an abundance of offerings that will not break your budget, then we highly recommend that you setup a site visit with Aubrey to see for yourself the wonder that is the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace.

Had the most amazing day. Everything went so smoothly and everyone there was so helpful and made our day very special. I would highly recommend the Hilton as a venue for your wedding. Aubrey was brilliant and very helpful.

Beautiful and spacious location

My husband and I came across BVP when we found the 20seven venue. It was on the top floor of the hotel, and exceeded everything we ever imagined for our wedding day. The thought of watching fireworks at the end of our reception seemed perfect for us and our guests. The entire planning process could have not gone smoother thanks to the amazing team at BVP, especially Aubrey Gregg - who i amazing. She was so helpful and accommodating for all of our questions and requests. From the moment we walked into 20seven we fell IN LOVE with the view, and the overall room layout. The ability to have a 360 view of the city really provided the formal event space we wanted that met all the unique, romantic and formal ideas we had imagined. I HIGHLY recommend 20 seven to all brides who are planning a wedding with ~120 people, who wants the fancy classy reception with an amazing view of the city and Disney Springs.

The Buena Vista Palace was amazing and the perfect place for our wedding ceremony! Aubrey and her team were amazing! She was responsive and flexible throughout the whole planning process. She continually got back to any emails we sent her in a speedy manner. On the day of she was there to help us with all our needs! Our Captain of the night Orlando was also amazing and kept everything moving on schedule. The hotel was beautiful, our Guests enjoyed the lobby bar, the amazing pool with the lazy river, and the Character breakfast the next day. I would recommend it to anyone!

My henna event and wedding reception were a dream come true! We could not have selected a venue that fit us better - it met all of our needs and Aubrey's service exceeded our expectations! She is prompt, warm & courteous, and professional. An overall pleasure. She met with my family and vendors on multiple occasions, to ensure that my big day went exactly the way I had always hoped. There were some last-minute hiccups that came up on their end regarding scheduling, but she worked with us to make sure that we would still get the ballrooms we agreed upon for each day, and that all of our vendors were accommodated and on the same page, to allow everything to fall into place perfectly. The venue itself is beautiful; we did all of our photos on-site, and there are plenty of nice spots inside and outside to capture these special memories. Our wedding reception was in the Empire ballroom, and it is so spacious and stunning. We were very grateful after both events, because everything flowed together so seamlessly and gracefully. My family and I cannot thank Aubrey and her team enough, for going above and beyond to make my special day as perfect as it was! Thank you so much, BVP and Aubrey, for putting me at ease through the process. I recommend everyone to consider BVP for their wedding venue!

I had my ceremony here at the Buena Vista Palace out at the gazebo by the lake as well as a small cocktail reception. It was amazing. I loved my cake and the food was delicious.

Our wedding was August 1st 2015 (just a month ago already!) This was a destination wedding and all guests were from Montreal, QC, Canada. I had visited all Orlando "Disney" wedding venues on a business trip in Orlando in June 2014 and the BVP was the one in the ones visited where I could see ourselves the most having our Disney wedding at. I didn't feel it was less of a "Disney wedding" because it was not with Disney Fairy Tale Weddings. I was pondering between the Swan & Dolphin and the new Four Seasons at first. The BVP was offering a beautiful ceremony area (the gazebo is just so romantic on the lake shore) with a cool breeze and a smaller, more intimate reception space for our estimated guest count of 40 people (the veranda room). Communication with Aubrey (catering manager at the BVP) was always very quick, transparent and fluid for the whole time. She is really easy to work with and furthermore, very flexible with what you have in mind in terms of food & beverage. Add-ons are very reasonably priced and she doesn't make u overspend for no reason. I was a little nervous at first when I finally decided to sign as there were not many food reviews and some hotel reviews on tripadvisor were not too great. After I signed, I sent my parents for a food tasting as they spend their Winters in FL and they said that the food was amazing. I did have the chance to go back to Orlando on a business trip by surprise and reserved a second food tasting with Aubrey and her catering team. The food was good but needed some tweaking. I was left in making a choice and Aubrey made that happen very easily. I also visited the hotel rooms and I do not know what these tripadvisor reviews are talking about... the rooms are big, clean and spacious! I do not regret in any way the choice of our wedding venue. I would recommend reviewing regularly with Aubrey on everything so you are always on the same page with your choices. If you want more details, please email me at poshmels@yahoo.com!

Aubrey and her staff were incredible. From signing the contract to the actual event you felt like royalty from the start. Aubrey was so helpful along the way and made sure everything was taken care of. The whole hotel staff (no matter their position) helped my guest at all times and made them feel welcomed. The food was incredible an my guest couldn't stop raving about it and the service they received. If you want a stress free day you need to book with Aubrey, you won't regret it!
