Best Bang for your Buck

The Hilton President is a FABULOUS wedding location. We had our reception here and it was so convenient to have everything under one roof--from the food to servers, bartenders, linens, candles, getting-ready rooms, separate cocktail hour location, and a room block so guests can go right downstairs to their rooms at the end of the night. Not to mention the beautiful hotel made for the best backdrop for wedding photos.

I was pleasantly surprised at how far each dollar went. The pricing here is comparable to other empty, industrial-style venues. Because the hotel is so fabulous already (huge chandeliers, gilded columns, stunning dance floor) I did not have to spend much money AT ALL on additional decorations, dance floor, lighting, or flowers. The beauty of the hotel speaks for itself!

The ballroom comfortably fit 200 guests with plenty of room for a band and dance floor. The room is not too big so the band acoustics were still great. It had the feeling of intimacy.

The wedding coordinator, Keyli, was very responsive, helpful, and proactive. She was kind and worked within my budget. The entire staff was professional and easy to work with. Dinner service was a breeze and the bartenders made it so there was hardly ever a line. A true five-star experience!

President Hilton

I had my reception at Hilton President Hotel in KC. It was a wonderful experience. The hotels coordinator was extremely profession, easy to get ahold of, and very dependable. They made the wedding planning process easy and fun. The staff that worked the event was very professional as well. I had many of my friends and family compliment me later on how well mannered they were. I highly recommend having your wedding at this venue

Best wedding ever!

I cannot say enough about how great this experience was. I had only 5 months to plan my daughter’s wedding from out of state. The Hilton President was the perfect venue for us.

The Congress Ballroom is exquisite. The food is delicious. The guest rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. Nicely updated. The accessible rooms are the best I’ve ever seen with spacious walk-in showers and built-in shower benches.

The Drum Room was the perfect place for our guests to spend time with family and friends in between the weekend festivities.

Marissa, the catering manager, is the best. Great communication throughout the planning process. Her meticulous attention to detail and the timeline made for a perfect day from start to finish. The evening flowed without a hitch and it sadly flew by too soon! We didn’t want the night to end.

The farewell breakfast the next morning was the perfect final touch for our out of state family and friends. Delicious food, beautiful set-up and gracious staff.

The Hilton President is a fabulous facility with a wonderful staff. A beautiful room with no need for decorations. It's all grace and class. Working with the President over the years has been a treat. They GET what the bride and groom wants. Make an effort to visit especially if you like the convenience of having close parking and a hotel room on premise. Time to party!
