Professional, personal, very responsive.Ashley was easy to work with as well as the staff.

We went looking at several venues. We always went back to The Hilton as our choice because of the warmest, the atmosphere upon our very first visit.
After we chose the venue, Ashley was absolutely amazing during the entire planning process. Always very responsive to any question my husband and I had. She even worked well with our vendors.
Our wedding was everything we asked for and more. The food was amazing.

Fabulous for our Dance Company Celebration

I cannot say enough about how thrilled we were with our experience with Hilton Garden Inn Raleigh-Crabtree Valley. We used their venue for our end of year party for our dance company. We hosted 150 dancers and their parents and we could not have been happier. Megan was fabulous to work with. She answered yes to every request, including last minute changes including special meal needs. The ballroom was beautiful. The staff was professional and so kind. And the price for our event was far better than we could get from any other venue we contacted. We will be back again. No negatives at all, would highly recommend.

Everything was absolutely perfect for my birthday party. Everything from the venue, to the food and service was exceptional. Staff were all professional and helpful. I feel like Megan went above and beyond and thought of every little detail. She was phenomenal to work with. I will absolutely return for any future events and I highly recommend the Hilton and Megan Delzell.

Our Wedding Experience

We reserved a block of rooms for our daughter's wedding. Every time I contacted the hotel, we had an immediate response. Megan was amazing. When we were nervous about the shuttle service we hired, Megan called them and then called us. WOW! Our guests complimented the bar/restaurant service, the excellent rooms, the hotel shuttle to and from the airport. We could go on and on. If we would have another wedding in Raleigh, we would not even look at another hotel. We would go directly to Hilton Garden Inn at Crabtree.

Wonderful Wedding

We worked with Megan Delzell at this property. SHE IS TERRIFIC! Very knowledgeable in blending hotel operations with catering, flowers and every conceivable detail. The hotel itself is lovely and has well appointed decor. All of our guests enjoyed their accommodations and all of the food served- including the hot breakfast each morning. Do yourself a favor and BE SURE to speak with Megan and check this venue out. Everything was perfect and smooth!

10 Year Anniversary Vow Renewal

Best venue hands down! I have planned 2 other weddings for my friends and I have been to a ton of venues in Raleigh. Hilton Garden Inn provides a ton for a great value! I almost feel like we should have spent more money lol. The food was AMAZING and they are flexible with their menu. The space itself is beautiful and don't worry about the carpet color, you will not notice it the day of your wedding! They have made my day truly special and I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for my husband and I!
I highly recommend you have any event here. It's worth it!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
