Fantastic Vendor! 🤩🤩🤩

The hotel was such a great spot to have our reception. Stephanie helped us throughout the whole process and the staff was super helpful. My family was very happy with the end result and having a place to stay. 😁

Indian Wedding - 4 Events @ Hilton Garden of Cary

All I can say is this review does not do the venue and entire team any justice! My family and I looked into many venues in the area, but mostly hotels, so it would be convenient for out of town guests. Many of the hotels in the area are very pricey and do not budge on certain details. Right off the bat, the conversation with Claire at Hilton Garden was much easier and relaxed. She clearly walked us though pricing, details, and questions for my parents and me. After contracting, she let us know we'd be working with Devon. She made sure to transfer any knowledge over to Devon and give him some background on traditional Indian weddings so he was prepped with all the information he needed. He did not make any assumptions and asked all the right questions. Once we had a wedding planner, he worked with her directly and only pulled me in when needed. He was always a step ahead in coordinating details, logistics or asking questions.
Devon always went the extra mile. Leading up to the wedding, he would spend ample time taking care of each question or request coming from me and my planner. During the wedding, he was always there whether it was checking in our guests, tending to the vendors, or ensuring everything was going smoothly behind the scenes. He even stayed at the hotel overnight the whole wknd since we had so many back to back events that required overnight work from our vendors. He even hand delivered flowers for my hair to me at 5 am and delivered a special gift to my husband and I after our reception. The staff was always waiting on deck to support the "flips" between events so that there were no delays or hiccups. Devon would offer any and every option to us when it came to coordinating things in between events or during events (like ensuring enough chairs for guests to be seated but having additional seating where guests would later dine). I know other venues are typically not so forthcoming in trying to help their clients. I truly could not have asked for a better team and venue for my wedding! I highly recommend the Hilton Garden Inn of Cary for any event you are having!

Best Wedding with the best venue

Jenna and the Hilton Garden Raleigh\Cary team were an absolute delight to work with for a clients wedding. She was attentive, engaged, and offered solutions at every turn of the process. We needed to adjust the guest count after our reception space fell through and Jenna adjusted with ease making a situation that would have been easily stressful seamless to handle. Not only was she insightful and easy to work with but she was available for meetings when needed and worked with our schedule to meet regularly as the date became closer. If you are looking for a venue with a great team to work with at every part of your wedding journey, look no further: this is the team.

Fabulously Executed Wedding Weekend

We recently married at the Hilton Garden Inn Cary (ceremony & reception), and I wanted to leave a few words that may help other couples as they make their venue decision. I started planning our wedding while living outside the U.S and it was important to me, to have a venue that offered packages with many inclusions, so that I would not need to piece-meal together various items/services, as I was unfamiliar with the area (not being from here).
HGI Cary offered many desirable packages and we found one that fit our needs.
As a wedding planner myself, I was very much involved in all the details however, I was VERY pleased with our point of contact, the Event Sales & Catering Manager, Devon Burnfield. Devon was very hands on and available for any and all questions big or small, he was efficient and timely in all responses and always so helpful and pleasant! As we had many out of state and out of country guests, we booked a room block for our wedding weekend. Our guests were well looked after at the Hilton Garden Inn, and the staff was so helpful and accommodating with any issues that arose. Location wise, they are located close to many stores and restaurants which made it easy for guests if they required any last-minute shopping or alternate food choices.
The Garden Grille offers a wonderful, full breakfast menu which my guests enjoyed each morning, and the wait staff were very friendly and efficient.
I, personally, really enjoyed working with Devon on the planning aspect and it was a joy to see it all come to life on our wedding day! I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a nice "all-in-one" to keep things easy and streamlined, not only for their guests for themselves as well.
My only regret is that we can't repeat the whole day one more time, just to experience it all again! :-)

Haizel & Colin's wedding July 30, 2022

Our daughter's wedding at Hilton Carry NC went beyond our expectations. We were little apprehensive about the whole event as the Bride's Parents, as we were all travelling from NY to NC for the wedding. Hats off to Event & catering Manager Devon Burnfield who took care of every detail, instant response to all emails, text messages and hundreds of phone calls between Feb & July 2022. Devon took special care of all our last minute requests. As the host of a big Indian wedding, with 187 guests travelling from all over US, India and the Middle East, everyone was so happy with the stay at the hotel as well as the pre wedding party and the wedding reception for the entire guests. What touched us the most was the delicious food, especially the Indian delicacies cooked by Hilton's own Chef, are still being craved by many of our guests. As parents of the Bride, the wedding was a very fulfilling experience for us with good memories to cherish. We believe Mr Devon Burnfield will be an asset to the Hilton Group

Magical Wedding 08/20/2022

First let me start by saying, that the Hilton Garden Inn in Cary NC was the perfect fit for myself and my fiancé (now Husband) vision for our special day. The professionalism we received from the very first point of contact when setting up the venue tour till the end was very professional. The tour of the venue won us over. The packages provided offered so many complimentary items such as uplighting, complimentary bridal suite for the night before and night of wedding, discounted guest rooms, linen and etc. This venue really gives you your monies worth. The grounds are so nice. Devon our coordinator at the venue, kept us up to date with all the information and answered all of our questions. It was truly a pleasure to work with him. If you really want a all inclusive elegant experience, please consider the Hilton Garden Inn in Cary NC,

wonderful experience

We made a very wise and intelligent choice when we decide to host our son's wedding reception at Hilton Garden Inn- Raleigh/Cary. Devon Burnfield did a marvelous job handling all the details. He gave us a lot of new ideas that made the entire event spectacular. Devon was meticulous and took care of each and every minute details without wasting any time. He was open to suggestions and changes and handled them well. Above all, he was extremely patient and made the entire planning phase very stress free. I would definitely love to have him as our coordinator for any future events. The entire staff at Hilton was very professional and our guests enjoyed their stay there.

What a wedding

We had Jenna as our salesperson and our event person. In our initial conversations, she was very helpful and thoughtful in her responses. We were sold on the venue after 1 visit. We made monthly payments instead the deposit and then paying the balance. That was an easy process and worked out best for us. We had to change the date due to covid and that worked out for us as well.

The wedding came out just as sold to us. Most of what we needed was covered and included in the price. That also made it a good choice because we didn’t have so many vendors to deal with. Big shouts to Jenna and all the Hilton staff for making our day great.

We also used the Hilton points we earned for our honeymoon. Double whammy!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Chris Harburg Photography Chris Harburg Photography Wedding Photographers

As a wedding photographer, I've had the opportunity to work in many wedding venues in Raleigh and the Hilton Garden Inn is one of my absolute favorites! The staff is fabulous to work with, professional and extremely helpful. The quality of food and service during the wedding is fantastic, I've never seen them fall behind or keep guests waiting and believe me, it does happen! I've been quite surprised by some venues even running out of food! But the Hilton Garden Inn is a well oiled machine, any wedding couple would be in great hands knowing their perfect day will go off without a hitch.
