Betty Ellen west was the best wedding coordinator.

Betty Ellen west was extremely hospitable all year long and truly took care of our wedding visions within our budget. The venue is gorgeous and her and Rodrick (Hawthorne) listened to our each and every plan with care. Because of them, we had the most magical day ever and cannot wait to visit the Hilton again. I wish I could tell ever new fiancé/bride to be to book with the Hilton and BettyEllen West because there was zero stress involved and tons of joy. Thank you all!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend

Wedding cocktail hour, reception and next day brunch were outstanding. The Hilton staff provided wonderful food & drink, exceptional service and flawless execution of a very special weekend for our family and friends. BettyEllen West, the event coordinator was absolutely the best - efficient, attentive to detail and truly a dream to work with. Highly recommend the Hilton and BettyEllen for future events/weddings!

BettyEllen West

BettyEllen West was such a pleasure to work with for our recent daughter’s wedding weekend at the Nashville Downtown Hilton!! She was extremely accommodating, efficient, detail oriented and very friendly. Our guests loved the hotel, hospitality room and brunch. We have already recommended this hotel to friends for their events and if they are lucky they will also have the opportunity to work with BettyEllen!!

Book your next event at the Hilton Nashville Downtown

We just returned from our son's wedding weekend in Nashville! We hosted the farewell brunch at the Hilton Nashville downtown and I am SO glad that we did. BettyEllen West, the catering manager, was wonderful to work with - highly professional, responsive and flexible in meeting all of our needs which allowed us to simply enjoy ourselves. The brunch was delicious and the Bredesen room was spacious and light - it was a perfect way to cap off the weekend. We also stayed there and appreciated the friendly staff and the location - steps away from Lower Broadway and the Country Music Hall of Fame and other spots. The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. Host your next event here and you will not be disappointed.

BettyEllen and her team are WONDERFUL!

We had been looking for a reception space for quite some time. BettyEllen and her team provided everything we needed and gave us a SEAMLESS and stress free experience! She was willing to be extremely flexible, handled family drama/stress without wavering and truly gave my husband and I the best day. I would do it all over again with her team. I cannot recommend using the Hilton Downtown Nashville enough! I am so thankful for them and their kindness. I've heard horror stories about brides being extremely stressed out with their vendors, but we definitely didn't encounter that at all.

Sept 7th Wedding

The Hilton Nashville Downtown is a beautiful hotel in a perfect area. We chose it as the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. The day I spoke with BettyEllen, I knew I had chosen the right place. She is the best. She was very responsive to every inquiry email or by phone. If I asked, she answered. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. She made sure we had everything we wanted and more. The Hilton staff treated us and our guests well. I could tell that they loved what they do. That is the kind of energy you want to share with friends and family. I really appreciate the great service. The food was delicious and the rooms were awesome. The spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was perfect. I am so happy that we chose the perfect place with an awesome staff for our wedding!
