Great summer wedding experience!

We had a great lunchtime wedding reception at the Hilton City Avenue in June. Randy was very responsive during the planning process, particularly to specifics about our reception’s timing, and was very responsive to email, calls, and in-person conversations at the hotel site. Our food, cake, and decor was beautiful on the day of and we were able to have a special time celebrating with our guests. It was very reasonably priced compared to other options in or even nearby to Philly, and included complimentary parking unlike nearly any other reception site. Would definitely recommend it to any couple in the Philly area!

Great Venue and Ballroom

It was a wonderful experience working with Randy at Hilton City Avenue. They were able to accommodate for any quick and sudden changes in plans effectively and help drive key events on our big day. The Garden ballroom we were in for the reception fitted all our guests with 16 tables. Our rooms were nice with a great view over the reservoir across the street.

Great location and great service

As my fiance and I were looking at venues, we fell in love with the Hilton. We fell in love with the Garden ballroom and the balcony. Jeby was also one of the reasons why we booked at the Hilton. She was so sweet, friendly and accommodating. She is willing to work with us on being creative and making our wedding reception special to us. We know that our day will be special at the Hilton and we look forward to planning.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
