Wedding Reception

Our wedding was made even more beautiful by the wonderful service we received from the Hilton Garden Inn. The servers at the reception were so kind and helpful and unobtrusive that we felt truly cared for. The servers answered our questions quickly, they helped us with the clean-up joyfully, and were all so pleasant to be around. Ashley and Alex answered our questions quickly and made suggestions that ended up making our entire experience better and more beautiful. We were more than pleased with everyone we worked with. Thank you all so much!

We enjoyed every part of the wedding planning process

We can’t say enough great things about our experience working with the Hilton to plan and organize our wedding reception. We were lucky enough to work with Maddy for most of the process and it was a godsend having prompt and detailed communication throughout.

If given the choice again I would without a doubt chose Hilton Garden Inn Downtown and Maddy to help plan our wedding reception. She was patient with all my questions, elevated my ideas and made the process so enjoyable. There was no stress with planning this reception as I knew I was in good hands and everything literally turned out perfect. Thank you Maddy for all your help-- it was the best day of our life!

My wedding day was made so memorable and stress-free by the Hilton Garden Inn! They made sure everything was simple and convenient for me and my guests! The best way for brides to enjoy the day is try to make things as simple and prepared as possible so there will be nothing to stress about the day of and the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Sioux Falls certainly did that for me! Thanks you Maddy Westra and all Hilton Garden Inn DT event staff!

We have the pleasure of hosting several events with the team at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Sioux Falls. Not only is the service second-to-none, but everything from the sales process with our clients, to menu selection, room layout and design, as well as event set-up, day-of logistics and even the load-out is such a seamless process. Everyone on the HGI Downtown team has such such a great working relationship and it truly shows! Their synergy is contagious and we can't wait until our next event together.
