We’d like to thank the team at the Hiltons at Toledo Downtown for the wonderful job they did for our daughter’s wedding!  Our special thanks to Katelyn Dancer, Catering & Events Manager, for her support, professionalism, attention to detail and unending patience.  The wedding was in July 2025, and we worked with Katelyn and the staff at the Hilton for over 14 months planning and executing an event that exceeded our expectations.  Throughout this time, Katelyn answered every phone call, text and email quickly, efficiently and effectively.
 
Our daughter & son-in-law had their wedding ceremony and reception at the Hiltons.  With over 200 guests, we were not sure the hotel could accomplish the “flip of the room” from ceremony to full reception, but they executed this flawlessly - no easy feat!  Katelyn and the staff did so much to make the entire day perfect. The service, attention to detail and professionalism was top notch. Katelyn, my daughter and I met numerous times to discuss layout, timelines, decor.  Katelyn and the Hiltons listened to what we were looking for and delivered beyond our expectations.  
 
The beautiful and recently remodeled venue speak for themselves, but what you can’t get from a website is a taste for the actual food, which was exceptional!  In fact, multiple guests raved about all three of the main menu entree items we offered and everything that went with them was delicious as well.  During the planning process we met with Chef Alex, for food tasting, he was wonderful.  He was so engaged and more than willing to curate some fun and unique appetizers and menu items, which made things even more special.  It is not easy to serve 220 hot plated meals, while also catering to guests with dietary restrictions (all of these special dietary needs were noted and extra care was taken to ensure the comfort and safety of our guests), and hit a culinary home run, but that was our experience.  Bravo team Hilton!
 
At the wedding we had over two dozen guests, who availed themselves of overnight accommodations, from all over the USA and as far away as Ireland and England.  They were all very pleased with the hotel rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn & Homewood Suites in downtown Toledo.  They enjoyed the amenities and convenience of the location during their visit.  A number of our guests were traveling alone and reported that they felt very safe and comfortable at the hotel too, which was important to us. 
 
Katelyn Dancer and the staff at Hiltons at Toledo Downtown are well connected and respected by the variety of vendors we used, which helped make many of the finer details easier to address.  If we had more than one daughter, we would love to host another wedding at the Downtown Hiltons, we gladly recommend and endorse Katelyn Dancer and the Hiltons Downtown Toledo for any wedding or event you may be planning. 

We booked a block of rooms not only for our guests, but for ourselves as well. Not only was the staff amazing, but the rooms were so clean and had everything we needed to prepare for our big day! I would recommend 10/10!!

With a great location, valet on-site, endless food/bar possibilities, hotel rooms just steps away, and a great staff, booking this venue is an easiest decision you can make for your big day. Having an all inclusive venue makes for a stress-free event and allows you to focus on all the details to put your event over the top. From start to finish, planning an event with the Hiltons is easy and your guests will be amazed.

Thank you thank you thank you to the team that makes all of this possible!

We are so glad we got married at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Toledo (formerly the Park Inn). They have completely redone the place and the ballroom is amazing with gorgeous spheric lights that dually function as classy decor. Julie M. was fabulous to work with. She was organized, prompt, and flexible. She responds to emails and texts quickly. The banquet and catering staff were organized, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and served on time!! (we did the salmon and boneless beef braised short rib) — people literally asked us for the recipes, lol! They left the cocktail space open all night which was perfect for people who weren’t really into dancing but wanted to socialize. We had a big wedding (~280) and I still felt their food and drink prices were reasonable. The drink lines were never outrageously long. They set up all of the tables, linens, glassware which is a huge relief. It was truly one of the best days of our lives. We have received so many compliments on our wedding. I think they are working on revamping their wedding packet but if you are looking at a mid-level full bar drinks and plates food package expect to pay roughly $100 per person. Our reception ended at 10:30 and I didn’t feel like we were being rushed or hustled out, we’ve all been to weddings where they’re closing the bar 30 minutes early and taking down tables, lol. So happy with everything!!!!! Would do it all over again if we could! Room rates for our guest blocks were super affordable. Oh and the front desk staff was awesome!! We had an after-after party gathering in the side area in the lobby until early morning hours. As long as you are respectful of noise and others they truly seem glad to have you.
