Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington Hotel

We chose the Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington for both our wedding and accomodations for our guests. We could not have made a better decision. We have 0 compliants. Everyone, from our event coordinator to the hotel staff worked very hard to give us a perfect wedding, and they nailed it! Not only did our event coordinator, Riana, become basically a free wedding planner, the hotel staff accomodated every request from our guests staying at the hotel, including let my family throw a birthday party for my aunt 2 days before the wedding in the executive lounge on 1 day's notice. Every request my husband and I made for our wedding was granted. The food was great, the bartenders were friendly and knowledgable, and they took care of all set up and clean up. All we had to do was bring our stuff, show up, and take our items home the next day. You can not go wrong with choosing this hotel for your wedding or event!

Working with Kelly Huseman at the Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington was such a gift in the wedding planning process. Our wedding was so much nicer -- truly a dreamy, stress free, gorgeous wedding -- than I thought possible when we first began searching for venues with our budget. I appreciated that Kelly & the Hilton were always up front with details about the venue and its costs as well as flexible so that our wedding truly felt unique and valued there. At no point were any of our ideas off the table for budget, it was simply a matter of how to make things happen. Seriously, some of my friends are shocked that "a hotel wedding" felt so beautiful and fun because they've been to many that just feel... fine or stuffy. That is not the case here! We really cared about our guests' experience at the wedding, and the Hilton did, too. Words are not doing justice to how blown away we are by the Hilton & Kelly's work.

We had an amazing taco bar buffet for our dinner and it was seriously delicious! It was a great dinner for all of our friends and family with whatever dietary restrictions they had: picky eaters, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free -- we had them all and they were all super happy with the dinner. Our cocktail hour featured pizzas that were continually replenished during the hour and were kept hot with warmers the entire time. The hallway surrounding the ballroom made for a great space for cocktail hour and our DJ kept the music going, which was so fun.

On top of all of that, the venue is gorgeous and my pictures certainly don't do it justice (RIP I feel like I'm letting you down, Kelly!). It feels more grand in person than it does in photos -- the chandelier installations add lots of glamour, but the ballroom itself is pretty neutral, so it can really work with a lot of styles. The suite to get ready in was spacious, beautiful, and just what we needed for the bridal party. The day of the wedding, Kelly took care of EVERYTHING. We did not have to worry about a single detail related to vendors or set up or any of it. And it was all so beautifully pulled together, especially due to Kelly's advice and suggestions throughout the planning process.

Seriously, choose this venue, choose to work with Kelly. We are so immensely grateful to have gotten married at the Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington. We feel so lucky.

My husband and I used the Hilton in Bloomington (3900 American Blvd W, Bloomington, MN 55437) for both our wedding ceremony and reception. We were engaged for two years and had originally met and signed with Amber at the Hilton. Amber moved on to another position and Kelly took her place. From the moment we met Kelly we knew she would be a perfect fit to help us with our big day. Kelly is incredibly personable and made us feel as if we were her only couple/event every time we met with her. Kelly met with us many times before the event to get an idea of what we wanted and to help whip us into shape on things we had been procrastinating. Kelly was prompt when returning emails and answering our never ending questions. We purchased many different decor items for our wedding and on the day of Kelly brought our vision to life. We seriously cannot say enough great things about Kelly and the rest of the amazing staff at the Hilton. Every employee encountered was incredibly kind and helpful every step of the way!
