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!

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!

Great venue and wonderful staff!
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.
