Hilton Harrisburg

My husband and I got married in June 2022. We had 270 people at our wedding and we were absolutely blown away throughout the entire process of planning our wedding with the Hilton Harrisburg and also the night of our wedding went flawlessly. We worked with Carrie, the venue coordinator, who was absolutely amazing. She was always extremely prompt in her communications and very accommodating to our requests! We received so many compliments on the food at the wedding (we had rehearsal dinner at the restaurant as well which was delicious) and guests also loved their rooms! We would definitely recommend getting married here if you are looking for a fantastic team and successful night!

We got married at the Hilton in June 2022 and had an incredibly positive experience throughout the entire process! Our wedding ended up having to be postponed twice, but the team at the Hilton coordinated these changes smoothly, being more than accommodating to our many needs. The thorough communication and broad access to resources throughout the planning stages was never an issue and we really had the feeling that they were truly there to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams instead of trying to push a product. When the big day finally came, all our vendors had a point of contact at the hotel that was physically present to oversee the set-up, giving us the chance to focus on the ceremony without worrying about the logistics. She even allowed us a sneak peak at the room before the guests entered and was there throughout the evening to help with any issues that arose, as well as being kind enough to run gifts and the card box up to the bridal suite!

As far as the quality of the product goes, it was everything we could have imagined. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS (thank you to the chef and team!) and we highly recommend the braised short rib, pistachio crusted halibut, and risotto! Bar selections are broad and moderately priced, with the ability to arrange for higher tiers if we wanted. We also requested wine service at dinner and never felt any lack of attention given to us or our guests. There was ample room for dancing, great options in terms of lighting (even up to us making a last-minute lighting change during our sneak peak), and fantastic angles for our photographers to capture pictures.

Overall, we were VERY impressed and appreciative of all the work and attention to detail that the Hilton gave us for the wedding and have memories of that day that will last us a lifetime. We both highly recommend it as a venue for your wedding! Thank you very much to everyone who worked so hard to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams!

Side note: We highly recommend 1700 Degrees Steakhouse in the hotel for the rehearsal dinner. Again, delicious food and a high attention to detail. What’s more, all the logistics can be coordinated directly with the same group that facilitated the wedding reception. Just like we mentioned before, we had someone present to oversee the evening and ensure it all flowed smoothly, which was a tremendous help. They were even able to time service around speeches and toasts, and coordinated with the chef to create a last-minute vegan dish in the middle of dinner! Our guests are still talking about how great of a time they had!

We were supposed to have a large reception at the Hilton in October of this year. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we had to make some changes. For us, that meant moving our reception outdoors, but the Hilton was amazing about the changes in plans and they still did the catering for our event. The food and drinks were amazing. Everything was served hot and tasted delicious, despite moving offsite. Most importantly, the team at the Hilton was AMAZING. Rachele talked to us every week leading up to the wedding to ensure that everything was planned out and would run smoothly. She went through every detail and made us feel so comfortable, even while planning from a distance. We couldn't have done it without here. She is amazing and we would highly recommend the Hilton to anyone planning a wedding. It was the best experience and the perfect wedding day!

My husband and I got married on August 24, 2019 at the Hilton. We hosted our ceremony in 1/3 of the Ballroom and the Reception in the other 2/3. Everything was exactly what I had hoped it would be...and MORE! The set up crew and wait staff was so accommodating and friendly. The food was 5-star, especially the garden vegetable risotto!! :) The best part?....Rachele! She was the best wedding coordinator! She was so insightful and responsive to my 10,000 emails throughout the wedding planning process. The concept of hotel room blocks was foreign to me and she ensured everything was seamless for our guests. She coordinated the Bridal suites for getting ready and staying for the weekend. The day of the wedding, she facilitated every aspect, not only with the Hilton but with all vendors, helping to put my mind at ease. We hosted our after-party in the Hill Society room on the first floor, which made it convenient for our guests. The bartender, Mark, was fabulous! All in all, if I could relive our day, I would choose the Hilton 10 times over!

My husband and I visited 5 wedding venues total and we liked the Hilton Harrisburg the best. The hotel is right downtown which is great for out of town guests who are looking for things to do during their stay. The hotel interior is nice and modern looking which makes for some great photos. We really liked the all-inclusive one price structure that the Hilton offers with their wedding packages. Definitely less headaches for us. The hotel also offers an on-site wedding coordinator – the amazing Rachele Sohn! We liked her from the moment we met her on our tour of the hotel. She has a great personality and we knew that we would enjoy working with her which we did! She was extremely organized and great with her follow-ups. She was very responsive to our email correspondences. We dropped off a lot of signs/decorations 2 days prior to the reception. Rachele and her team did exactly what we asked them to (where to put what on the day of) AND they gave us back everything neatly in the boxes provided. Our wedding reception went smoothly without any problems. The service provided from the banquet team was exceptional. They ensured our needs were met. The food at the reception was as good as when we did the tasting. You hear those stories of how some venues give you a great tasting but then the food turns out less than spectacular at the actual event. I can honestly say that the quality of the food at the Hilton is top notch. Nothing was overcooked/undercooked. We loved not having to do any set up or clean up whatsoever. Our complementary Junior Suite on the night of the wedding was great as well. If you are looking for an indoor wedding venue, I would highly recommend the Hilton Harrisburg.

Everyone says your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye, but I can honestly say ours did not! I did not have to do a thing the day of the wedding. The Hilton was so efficient, organized, prompt, and professional. The food was absolutely outstanding and the accommodations were as well. We had our rehearsal dinner at 1700 Steak house, which I'd also highly recommend. It was private, excellent service, and the food was outstanding as well. Overall I couldn't imagine our wedding day anywhere else!

The Hilton provided the perfect wedding cocktail hour and reception! Rachele was always responsive to our needs and helped coordinate an "Event" that many of our guests said was the best they had ever been to...and we concur! The food was beyond 5-Star! I've heard that some venues give you a wonderful tasting, but then the food for the reception is not as good. I can tell you, the food was even better, and a grand slam for us and our guests! The room was set up perfectly, with a large dance floor for everyone to enjoy. The service was excellent from all those that served us...they helped make it even more special for us. The Hilton Harrisburg is the perfect place for your wedding event, especially if you have a lot of out of town guests like we did.

The Hilton met all of our expectations during our wedding journey. The wedding coordinator was amazing and extremely helpful. During our wedding weekend, the staff went above and beyond to create our perfect wedding! We would recommend the Hilton to anyone who is looking to plan their big day!

We had an amazing experience with Rachele at the Hilton Harrisburg during the entire wedding planning process. We live about 1.5 hours from Harrisburg and Rachele was very accommodating to our busy/out of the area schedules. She was very organized during our phone calls and meetings and answered all of our questions to put our minds at ease. She also provided us with all of our options so that we were getting the best prices for the experiences we wanted to provide to our guests. On the day of the wedding Rachele was available for anything we needed. She was only person able to bustle my dress as well :) Overall it was a fantastic experience for such an important day in our lives!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Hilton recently, and it was beyond our expectations! We had a larger wedding with 170 total in attendance, and this was the best venue we could have chosen. Most of our guests came in from out of town and were able to easily book a great group rate for their rooms. They all loved that once they checked in, there was no travel involved, as everything was on site. We also loved that, because we didn't have to worry about transportation or providing additional directions to our guests. Rachele made the planning process and execution so easy, as we provided our decorations, but the Hilton staff set everything up and tore it down. Our guests all told us that we had a beautiful ceremony, and the reception was so much fun. The food was excellent, and we got many compliments on that from our guests as well. The ease in planning and quality of services were well worth the price. We did price out other venues before choosing the Hilton, and taking into account all of the "extras," including additional legwork that we would have had to put in, some of the venues that might have had a cheaper sticker price would have definitely ended up costing us more in the long run. We are so glad we chose the Hilton, and wouldn't have changed a single thing about our day!
