We had our ceremony & reception at the Hilton Columbus Polaris in July. How to begin, everything was Fantastic! Everyone who helped us with our big day was bending over backwards to make sure everything went perfect. I Highly recommend them to anyone who wants a perfect day!

Hilton Polaris was a great hotel to offer our guests accommodations for our wedding. Of the entire Polaris area, the Hilton offered the best pricing for the wedding block along. Also, if your wedding books enough rooms, you get a complimentary room for the night of the wedding! Kirsten was also amazing to work with as she was very responsive and she even helped me schedule shuttles for the day of the wedding to drive us to the salon, etc.

I cannot say anywhere near enough good things about my experience with Hilton, Polaris for my wedding reception. From day one they were able to answer any questions and concerns I had and bent over backwards to make my wedding day as easy as possible. The space was clean and tidy, our coordinator never took more than a few hours to get back to us (which is quicker than we ever expected...we tried not to wait until last minute) and they were flexible when we had extenuating circumstances. It was also very reasonably priced (we thought). At the tasting we had a waiter named Jeff and we were half joking when we asked if we could have him for the wedding. Lo and behold there he was at the reception, too! He was VERY helpful (again, can't say enough good things) and I was thrilled to have him assisting us through dinner! I would absolutely recommend Hilton to anyone!

"The best wedding we've ever been to!", was the comment from many of our guests. And as the mother of the bride, I can say with certainty that our wedding experience with the Hilton Columbus Polaris was beyond wonderful from start to finish. Thanks largely to our banquet coordinator, Kelly, it was smooth sailing with the planning and execution. Kelly was so easy to communicate with, sometimes responding within minutes, to our emails. She always went the extra mile to satisfy our needs and was so polite and professional. Even the chef created a vegetable lasagna especially for our daughter (which was out of this world) to be one of our dinner choices. The food service was beautifully presented, delicious and timely, allowing for great flow to the event. One of the bartenders actually hand delivered my disabled mother's drinks to her! With all the decisions that needed to be made, and feeling that all our vendors were excellent, we know for sure that having our wedding at the Hilton Columbus Polaris was the best and smartest choice of all.

My daughter's wedding was planned in a very short time and Jacob Kristensen made it happen, and made it happen very successfully. He was so easy to work with, going above and beyond in many ways. The food was delicious and the mousse-in-a-chocolate-cup cake enhancement was a plus. The venue was ready at the rehearsal, but we wanted to change it around and Jacob did it himself even though there was no staff present to help him. He accommodated us in so many ways. Also, Rachelle was great to work with on the rooms, also going above and beyond. I would recommend the Hilton Polaris to anyone. We were very pleased!

The Hilton was absolutely amazing!! Jacob was even better. Always willing to help, offer suggestions, do whatever was asked and much more. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue for our ceremony and reception. Rachelle was also fantastic working on the block of rooms!!
The food was great as well. Many guests commented on the cocktail hour food and the butler service, Jacob pulled some of the shrimp for the head table at our request, AWESOME!!
The filet mignon and the parmesan chicken were both a hit. The cake enhancement of the mousse cups-can't say enough about this food, site and staff. My father mentioned to his server that he liked the mousse cups...she brought him a take out container with 1/2 a dozen extra mouse cups!
Thank you to the whole staff for a night to remember forever!

Our experience with the Hilton-Polaris was AMAZING. We worked with Kelly and she was incredible. She was prompt in answering all of our questions. She was always there for us. I think what touched us the most were the little touches. My dad loves Pigs in a Blanket, and she put a container of them together for him in his hotel room. She also helped my darling bridal party toilet paper our suite! :) I would highly recommend the Hilton-Polaris. The food, accommodations and the service were exceptional!

Jacob and his team at the Hilton Polaris are absolutely amazing! They catered to everything we could have ever wanted! They made our reception look beautiful and we didn't have to worry about a thing! I couldn't have asked for more professional/helpful people.
