Go to for destination wedding!!

This is an absolute DREAM wedding venue! We stayed at the Hilton the entire weekend of our wedding & it was so nice to be a short walk to our reception area and have the majority of guests staying in the same hotel with us!
From the moment we met Jamie at our menu tasting I knew we were in good hands! She asked all the right questions to make sure our day flowed smoothly. She kept in contact through the all of the planning & kept us up to date on everything. Unfortunately, Jamie had a family emergency but Peggy jumped in to cover the weekend of our wedding. You would have thought Peggy had worked with us through the entire process. She communicated everything & check on us frequently to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Jamie even checked in. I couldn’t have asked for a better team of coordinators!
The pier house is absolutely stunning!!! You don’t need to over do it with decor because the wrap around windows with ocean view and the immaculate wood covering the walls and floor are enough on their own. Throw in the drapes & lighting from I DO OBX & you’re In a fairytale!
The Hilton does all of the catering & drink service so you don’t have to worry about getting multiple vendors, the only problem was narrowing down the meal and hors d'oeuvres from their extensive list! (Good problem to have) All of the catering & bar staff were amazing! Everyone checked in on us multiple times during the reception & literally catered to us, brought us drinks & made plates for us! They cleaned up the venue and put our personal decorations together so we could grab them the next day!
You can’t go wrong with the Kitty Hawk Pier house!!

Jamie and her staff were friendly, professional, and flexible throughout the entire process. Our wedding went off on time and without any mishaps thanks to the planning and coordination from the Kitty Hawk Pierhouse team.

Amazing experience

We worked with Peggy and she was absolutely amazing, went above and beyond. We were planning this from several hundred miles away and she was always super responsive, helped us every step of the way, kept us on top of our timelines, made the whole process very pleasant and easy. she even made sure the guys all got their boutonnieres on correctly. We did not have a wedding planner and Peggy really made the entire day run smoothly and was a very pleasant person to be around. The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic, it was a wonderful experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Hilton Garden is your one stop shopping for amazingly modern accommodations, service and a very unique venue, on the pier and beach for your wedding. The staff is beyond amazingly helpful and professional. It's all good at the Hilton Garden Inn!

Brooke Mayo Photography Brooke Mayo Photography Wedding Photographers

There aren't many places you can say "I Do" and dance the night away over the ocean but you can at KHP!!! You have the beach, pier and a gorgeous indoor option inside the pier house if it's needed. The staff is wonderful and makes sure every little detail is taken care of. It's a photographers dream to shoot here!!

There are certain venues on the Outer Banks considered Diamonds. The Hilton Garden Inn is for sure one of those top 5 diamonds found on these barrier islands. The vintage Pier House is so cool and a perfect place to make a memory that will stand for all time. I've had the honor of performing many weddings along with the wonderful Hilton Garden Inn staff like Miha, and enjoyed every minute of it. First class from start to finish.
