Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina

We just had our wedding at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina and my expectations were wildly exceeded. The venue is situated on the marina which made for the most gorgeous backdrop! Victoria, the catering manager, worked with me from start to finish and was always responsive, supportive, and accommodating. Our guests were blown away by the venue, but even more so, the food!!! We received so many compliments on all of the food from cocktail hour, to reception entrees, to desserts! Everything was simply fabulous. The venue itself is very large and easily accommodated our 180 guests without feeling cramped. I cannot recommend this venue enough for your wedding … you will not be disappointed!!!

Working with Victoria Crowder at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina was truly a wonderful experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to answer all of our questions—no matter how big or small. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the exceptional food and top-notch service provided by the hotel staff.

Initially, we were hesitant about choosing this venue since there weren’t many reviews and we didn’t personally know anyone who had hosted an event here. But the moment we met Victoria and saw the stunning waterfront venue, we knew we had found the perfect place.

If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

My team and I enjoyed working and staying at the property recently, and the staffing and logistics were terrific! Upon arrival, we were cheerfully greeted and escorted to our designated areas. The banquet and catering managers were attentive and responsive to our needs, allowing for a flawless time at the property. I highly recommend this hotel property for private, corporate, and social events. Its proximity to the airport and fine dining, especially the onsite Olive and Sea restaurant, offers a spectacular ambiance with great food + views of the intercoastal. Being in the footsteps of the newly renovated convention center, this property is an ideal place for anyone to stay.

Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina was an excellent choice for our wedding reception. The entire hotel was renovated and beautiful. Jim, catering director, was great to work with and very responsive and professional. If I needed anything, he and Deborah (event captain) were there for me. The food was delicious. We had a breakfast the following day which we all enjoyed. A big challenge was getting a boat in the marina for our send off. Alan, the dock master, made calls and we were able to have our boat in the best spot for our exit from our guests. We all really enjoyed the hotel.

great company, very serious, always with quick answers. We made only one or two meetings and it was enough. they were there at the time and place scheduled. the service was as engaged, flawless, and very attentive professionals. I recommend this company. great food, very organized.

We had a fantastic experience for our wedding weekend. We had Amanda Friedman as our right hand from the very beginning who addressed our every need to make our special event perfect. Our guests were pleased with the great service, the food was amazing, and the attention the catering staff gave us was second to none. We looked at so many other venues before making our final decision, and we know it was the right one. We would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking to make their event perfect.

Cannot wait to get ready here in my beautiful bridal suite and I cannot wait to come back to an amazing view in the evening as a new Mrs.!

The Hilton Marina was the perfect place to get married. Amanda the wedding coordinator was awesome to work with. The food was amazing and our guests are still talking about it. I would highly suggest the Hilton Marina for a wedding venue.

Everything from the food tasting to the day of the wedding was fantastic. Our wedding could not have gone more perfect.

I couldn't have been more pleased. The location was amazing and the hospitality of the entire hotel staff made our wedding day amazing!! I would definitely recommend this hotel!!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina in October. We had a phenomenal experience. Jesse, who is the event coordinator at the Hilton, was wonderful to work with. She was kind, enthusiastic, professional, and responsible. She was very patient and helpful in answering all our questions and helping us plan the logistics. The day of my wedding both my mom and I did not have to worry about any of the details as she took care of everything. Jesse - you are the best, thank you!!!

Our cocktail hour was in the Atlantic Ballroom and on the outdoor patio and our reception was in the Grand Ballroom -- all of these spaces are beautiful which helped us save money on flowers and decorations. For our meal, we chose the dual entry of filet and maui maui which was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Not only did the quality of the food impress us, but we were also very impressed with the catering staff in general. They had plenty of servers and bartenders which made dinner service run smoothly and on time. In planning for our event, we appreciated that the Hilton worked with us to get the important things that we wanted and still stay in budget.

We specifically wanted a hotel for our reception as many of our guests were from out of town. The Hilton formed a room block for us with discounted rates and our guests ended up renting about 60 rooms. The rooms were clean, modern, and reasonably priced. The Marco Suite were the bride and groom stay was breathtaking. Overall we were very happy with the hotel, but my only comment is that some of our guests had difficulty getting into the room block with the discounted rate. Jesse was wonderful in helping us sort out all the rooms, but I think they should have an easier process.

Overall we had a wonderful experience, they deserve the 5/5 stars :) Thank you!
