Beautiful weekend!

I cannot express enough how absolutely amazing our wedding was at the Hilton over this past weekend! Katie and Todd were so attentive, caring, supportive, and helpful during our special day. Katie was instrumental in pulling everything together over the several months of planning. From beginning to end the experience was beyond our expectations. Our guests gave many compliments on the food, decorations, and ambiance which was all taken care of by the Hilton. With the beautiful weather we were able to utilize the outdoor courtyard. Then the transition to the cocktail hour then the ballroom was seamless. Highly recommended to any and all couples looking for a stunning wedding.

Great wedding venue, and an excellent service

We were looking for an intimate Indian wedding venue in the Delaware area. After some research based on our needs, we landed at Hilton Christiana/Wilmington. We worked closely with Katie McDevitt and she has been extremely helpful to fit in our needs throughout the entire process.
We all had a fabulous celebration. Custom Indian food menu was amazing as well.

Unmatched Experience

Having our wedding at the Hilton Wilmington/Christiana was the best decision my husband and I could have ever made. Katie and her team were absolutely amazing and made the process seamless. From our first meeting a Katie was very professional and came prepared as she anticipated many of the questions I had before i got to ask them which was impressive, she provided me with a few links she used for her own wedding for items i had not thought of, and was really knowledgeable about the facility and all things leading up to our big day. During our food tasting she made sure the entrees were up the par and if we were not satisfied she remedied by offering customized options which was thoughtful and quite a surprise as we were not aware we could customize entrees. Additionally leading up to the big day I ran out if time to get place cards and the night of/ morning of, she completed our place cards for us and provided items we needed for our photo guest book. Words cannot express how much of a blessing Katie was during the wedding process and i am not sure how we would have made as painless as we did it without her. The entire hilton staff did such an amazing job and my guest raved about the food, drinks, and overall experience. I cant thank the Katie and Hilton staff enough and hands down would recommend this venue for a wedding or any other event!
