Dream Beach Wedding!!!

We had the 2nd wedding of our dreams! The Pier House staff were very professional, responsive, accommodating and it was definitely a great value! They exceeded all of our expectations! We had our wedding on the pier and it was so magical to hear the waves crashing on the beach, to feel the gentle sea breezes and to see the dolphins swimming nearby! Mother Nature cooperated enough to allow us to get our wedding and pics done just in time for an amazing thunder and lightning show! Thank goodness we were all safely inside of the Pier House enjoying our delicious buffet dinner! Can't say enough great things about Miha and her wonderful staff! Our guests can't stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how it was one of the most fun weddings that they had ever attended! Highly recommend!!!

Our Dream Wedding

THE Best Wedding Venue!! My husband and I got married on the pier and had our reception inside the pier house. We could not have been happier with how everything went from start to finish in the entire process, from meeting with Miha and her team and choosing to get married there, to the very end. Miha is AMAZING!!!! She was attentive to every detail. She is such an amazing event coordinator and the nicest person!! The pier, pier house, hotel, are just beautiful, and for us, it was the perfect place.

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!!

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.

Couldn't ask for more!

Our daughter got married at the Kitty Hawk Pier house in June 2024 and it was a truly wonderful experience. Jamie and her team were extremely helpful throughout the entire process and had great communication. The day of the ceremony and reception was flawless. They took care of everything so we were completely stress free and just enjoyed the day. The guests were contacting me days later raving about how amazing the food and venue were. I wish we could do it all over again!

Dream Wedding!!!

Having our wedding here was a literal dream come true. Everything went perfectly thanks to the professional and flexible coordinator, Miha, and the staff here. Flexibility is a must when having a beach wedding since the possibility of rain is always a chance. For our wedding, even though it rained during the ceremony, the wedding still went so beautifully and I didn't have to worry about a thing because the venue took care of everything on the day of the wedding. I cannot say enough about how beautiful and amazing the venue is.

Amazing Wedding Venue

We remain elated we chose Kitty Hawk Pier as our wedding venue! Peggy was amazing! Words will not do justice for how incredible she is. Peggy is incredibly responsive and answered every question we had promptly and thoroughly. We did not have a wedding planner and she managed every detail on the day of our wedding. The pier ceremony and reception could not be more picturesque. We could not ask for a better venue and staff!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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.
