Excellent service!!

We had our wedding at the Hilton Santa Clara in mid December 2018 and were very pleased with the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of great food, atmosphere, and service. Both Ankita and Michele were attentive and helpful during the planning process. They were flexible in accommodating our needs. Their staff were amazing and made our wedding day seamless. We received nothing but compliments from family and friends that attended. Perfect place for our reception. We highly recommend the place.

Satisfied customer

Wedding reception was great except for the feedback we got from some guests that there was a long line for the bar during cocktail hour coz there was only 1 bartender. Keeping that aside, everything went great. Ankita was great in coordinating with us during the planning and responded to calls and emails promptly. She was there on the day of and had kept some of the stuff we accidentally left behind after. Staff were very professional and respectful. Perfect place for our reception. We highly recommend the place.

Our planning could not have been easier with the Hilton team. We were extremely overjoyed with all their services and everybody complemented the organization of the hotel. We asked for certain items leading up to the day and after and was happy to see the help from everybody on staff. The initial meeting with Hilton was easy and everything felt doable. Everything from there was manageable. (I was in Phoenix, AZ planning the whole wedding!) The tasting was intimate and the chef made amazing food. The bridal suite was big and open! The bell hops were helpful to everyone! I chose all my vendors and Hilton made it work with all of them. I worked with local businesses: Estonami Flowers (Esther Gobok), Jen's cakes, and Rocking Entertainment (with lights) -DJ Warda (Sacramento,CA), Motionscope Bay Area Videography, and Tony Pham Photography.
(I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of the actual venue but, it was beautiful!
I would highly recommend Hilton Santa Clara to anyone planning their most important day in the Silicon Valley!

Nele is the event coordinator that I worked with at the hilton and she was the BEST! She made planning the wedding easy and fun! The meal portions were HUGE, bigger than any wedding that I have ever been to, and they tasted fabulous! The room turned out more beautiful than I expected and everything ran smoothly. Things were right on time! The bridal suite was huge and included in the cost of the venue. We were able to get the bridal suite early so the girls could get ready there. This vendor was one of the reasons my wedding turned out to be perfect! I had no stress because I knew everything was being handled by a professional. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Wonderful Experience

We were so thankful to have found Hilton Santa Clara for our wedding celebrations. We had our mehndi/sangeet and our Hindu wedding at the hotel in August 2019. The location, quality and value were exactly what we needed for our wedding weekend. Both events went perfectly because of Ankita's great communication and professionalism. She was willing to work with all of our vendors and help craft a wonderful experience for us and our guests. For our wedding, we had to flip the room from a wedding procession to seated dinner, which was easy for Hilton to accommodate. Delilah assisted us and our guests find the appropriate accommodations so everyone was comfortable and able to get hotel rooms despite it being a packed weekend for the hotel. We are truly grateful for their help and recommend Hilton Santa Clara to others-- thank you so much!!

Double check and make sure its the right size for you. I had confirmed 141 guests and 133 were present. 14 tables at 10 per table, that is with the dance floor. You may place more on the table probably at 12 max but it would not be comfortable. Be sure to check out the menu as well if it is something to your liking. FYI buffet style set up is within the shared lobby. I hired Fine Linen Creations to set up a wonderful looking divider from the floor to the ceiling to have some privacy for my guests.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
