December 7, 2019 Wedding

I will just start off saying that my wedding ceremony and reception was a success all because Bryce went above and beyond. Anything I needed Bryce made sure I had and I forever grateful. The food was amazing. The bartender did an excellent job! Everything was just beautiful!

Great venue

We met Bryce Johnson at a wedding show and immediately hit it off. I really loved her positive energy. Bryce was very responsive and we discussed the details of our 2 day South Asian wedding and talked over our budget. Bryce was able to work with outr budget and make our dreams a reality of having an outdoor dockside ceremony by the water, which was always a dream of ours. They also allowed us to have outside catering. Very few vendors in the Charlotte area are this accommodating and are as culturally sensitive as Hilton University Place, which we are very grateful for. Before our initial meeting, Bryce also did research on some of the cultural aspects of a Bengali wedding which I truly appreciated. We knew we made the right choice by signing up with Bryce and Hilton University Place and we know we are in great hands for such a momentous day in our lives.

Amazing and stress Free!

From the beginning everyone was super helpful! From giving me a list of their preferred vendors that made everything so easy, to making last minute changes to the guest count they made it happen! Bryce was nice enough to text me pictures as she was setting everything up while I was getting ready, so I was stress free! I couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Food was delicious, 3 hours open bar(with option to add more hours) and the cake was paid for by the Hilton! Super happy with them!

So glad I chose this location. I worked Amber and Brittney then Rasheka for my day of. All were personable and professional...always available to answer my questions. They may have just been doing their job but to me they went above and beyond. The day of our wedding went off so beautifully. Ceremony, reception, food, location, were all great. Thank you to all the staff for bringing my vision to life.
