So grateful we chose this venue!

We are so happy we chose the Hilton Garden Inn for our wedding!

From the very first time I reached out, Angie and her team were kind, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. Angie was super communicative and she never left me hanging when I reached out with questions. She was flexible and understanding whenever we had ideas or needed to make changes, and completely transparent throughout the whole process. It made planning sooo easy for us!

We did our rehearsal dinner there, too, and both days went perfectly. Setup and cleanup were a breeze, they made sure our vendors had what they needed, and they even surprised us by taking care of a few last minute details that we didn't anticipate and ran out of time for. It made the entirety of both events stress free.

The food was also a huge hit! From apps to both dinners, every guest was well fed, and we received so many compliments about how delicious everything was! It truly made our celebrations even more special and memorable.

Most of all, Angie and her team were just great people who clearly cared about our event and our guests. They created the perfect, welcoming environment, and we couldn't be more thankful.

TL;DR: Flexible, professional, and kind staff, seamless setup/cleanup, incredible food, and a team that truly takes care of you! We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

Thank you so much again for everything, Angie & team! Special shoutout and thanks to Cameron, Becki, and Raquelle (sorry if misspelled), too, for taking amazing care of us and our guests! :)

Excellent Wedding Reception

My husband and I had our wedding reception and rehearsal dinner at the Hilton Garden Inn, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were so helpful throughout the entire planning process, and we were so happy with how the day turned out. They made everything very easy for us, allowing us to enjoy our day. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it, along with the beverages we wanted. The hotel staff was very attentive the whole night, making sure everyone was taken care of. Many of our guests commented on how well the night went. The staff went above and beyond to send the hotel shuttle to pick us up on our way to the reception when we ran into transportation issues.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel on our wedding night as well. The room was perfect. Everything was clean and well-kept. We were able to rest well after a busy day. The breakfast buffet the next morning was also very good. The Hilton Garden Inn helped us create a memorable wedding day. We'd highly recommend them for weddings and other events.

Hilton Garden Inn was AMAZING!

Tami at the Hilton and the rest of their staff were amazing at helping make our wedding dreams come true! Tami was so easy to work with and always responded very quickly with any questions I had. She was super organized and had a planning sheet to make sure we were not missing anything. The tables and chairs were so pretty we did not even need any table cloths. Our guests had great reviews on the food that was provided. We even had pizzas come out for our late night bite and they went CRAZY over them!! Totally recommend trying out their pizza! It was a huge hit! While setting up the reception space, if we needed a few extra vases or extension cords, they had extras for us to borrow for the night. Tami was there to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. I cannot stress enough how easy everything was and how convenient of a location it was for our guests! Our guests loved the hotel rooms and we even had a room available to eat breakfast and open gifts in the next morning. You should definitely consider the Hilton Garden Inn an option for your reception. I have nothing but great things to say about them!! Book them asap!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
