Amazing Venue!

Leandra, Karla, Jeremy and the rest of the Hilton team was absolutely amazing! From the moment I reached out to them about a date for our wedding, Leandra & Karla were super responsive. We had our whole wedding weekend of events at their hotel from rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour & reception! We wanted an affordable one stop shop for our guest! The food was great, the outdoor patio was everything my husband and I wanted for our wedding day! The guest were very impressed with the food, drinks, service and hotel staff during their stay! They were flexible with timelines, accommodating and helped us stay within our budget! We HIGHLY recommend the Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax for your wedding!

All of the staff here were extremely helpful during the whole process and they all did a beautiful job putting everything together! I cried when I saw the reception site all done before the guests were allowed in, it was so beautiful! I would definitely recommend them for future brides who want a stress-free planning process!

This was not a wedding but the 50th anniversary of our wedding. The staff , led by Virginia Perry, could not have been more helpful and professional. The day was wonderful. The food was great and the service was exceptional. From the day we met to start planning until the event, they were great. Their help and recommendations were extremely helpful. I do recommend them highly and believe you would be very happy with an event at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfax.

Virginia was amazing! I was NOT looking forward to planning a wedding as I prefer as little stress in my life as possible, and she made wedding planning fun. She was responsive and had a lot of creative and helpful ideas to make our day go off without a hitch. The catering and bar staff was also incredible. I would recommend this location for anyone looking for a small, stress free wedding. And their outdoor patio is just great! It doesn't even look like we got married at a hotel.

Sarah and Jeremy were both wonderful to work with. They were so accommodating to all our requests, and the event could not have been a bigger success. We are so pleased with their attentiveness and willingness to help in any way they can to make sure were happy and satisfied. They treated our event like it was their own, and we could not have asked for a better venue and group of people to work with.

Beyond professional!

Jason and his crew did fantastic job on my wedding day. He was not only being so professional but also very caring. He genuinely made sure everything was running smoothly and helped me coordinate everything on my wedding day. Wedding planning is stressful to anyone but it was such a big relief working with him. I did not need to hire a wedding coordinator on the day since Jason did know about my wedding plan ins and out. He stayed on my wedding day from the start to the end. He and his crew were very easy to work with. I got so many good compliments from my guests. Foods were in great quality. I highly recommend who plans to have intimate wedding with great service and stress free plus on budget. Cannot thank enough on this venue.

We started working with the HGI Fairfax for two year prior to our Vow Renewal. As soon as we met Virginia Perry, we knew we were in great hands. Before we have the opportunity to have the event, Ms. Perry left but she left us in the good hands of Un Lee. She step right in and was wonderful. She provided a level of expertise to help throughout the planning process. Another helping hand was Jeremy, he was with us from the start until the end of our party. He was awesome and really made sure we were taken care of and had a fantastic time. The compliments were overwhelming from our guest on the food, the space, and the phenomenal jobs of the staff. I can't say enough great things about this venue. Un Lee’s attention to detail ensured the event went smoothly and they far exceeded our expectations.

We ended up switching our wedding to the Hilton Garden Inn from another location because of difficulties with the site. The Hilton Garden Inn was very easy to work with. Catherine is quick to answer questions and very helpful. Julio the day of the wedding was wonderful- he even got my dad a drink during the cocktail hour so he could talk to people. We had an outdoor ceremony in the gardens and it was beautiful!!! The flowers were wonderful. We then had the cocktail hour and reception there- which was wonderful. The only thing is I was surprise how fast we were moved through dinner service... but the food was good! Catherine's web page was also a big hit for me during my planning. I recommend the Hilton Garden Inn- people loved how everything was in one place
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
