Excellent service

Penny Shafazand was extremely helpful during the planning, coordination and implementation of the reception luncheon. She was always available for calls and made sure all our questions were answered. We highly recommend her services! On the day of the reception, Fernando Grandy was extremely helpful and the setup was very nicely done. The entire team did a fantastic job in making sure the reception took place flawlessly. Many thanks to both Penny and Fernanado and their team. If I had to do another event, I would choose their services again

Wonderful Wedding Experience

We chose this Hilton property due to the ballroom's high ceilings and the location (closer to the airport for our out-of-town guests). We worked with Penny leading up to the wedding and the reception. We had an amazing experience working with Penny, as she was always there to answer all of our questions and guide us through the process regarding the hotel's requirements. It was great working with Fernando on our event days, as he was always there to supervise everything and was very accommodating of our requests.

We definitely recommend this Hilton property to other couples, and make sure to work with Penny and Fernando, as they were awesome!

Beautiful Space! - Dream Come True

We had our wedding at the Hilton Dulles Airport in the beautiful Belmont Ballroom, and it was absolutely perfect! We hosted about 370 guests, and the space was elegant, spacious, and beautifully set up. Everything—from the lighting to the layout—looked stunning and flowed seamlessly throughout the evening.

A huge thank you to Fernando Grandy, our Banquet Manager, for running the event so smoothly. He was attentive, professional, and made sure every detail was handled with care. Our guests raved about how well-organized and timely everything was.

And of course, a special shoutout to Penny Shafazand, the Senior Catering Sales Manager. Penny was amazing to work with from day one—so responsive, kind, and accommodating. She made the planning process stress-free and helped us customize everything perfectly for our vision.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team. If you’re planning a large wedding and want great service, a beautiful ballroom, and a staff that truly cares, we highly recommend the Hilton Dulles!

Exemplary Service & Professionalism

Our organization hosted a black tie fundraiser at Hilton Washington Dulles Airport Hotel in September 2025 and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

From the initial planning stages to the event’s conclusion, the hotel’s team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and attention to detail. The venue was impeccably clean, beautifully appointed, and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities that perfectly suited our needs. The staff, led by Penny, Fernando and Don, went above and beyond, promptly addressing our requests and ensuring seamless execution of our agenda. Their warm hospitality and proactive communication made our guests feel truly valued. We received numerous compliments from attendees about the venue’s ambiance and service. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality venue for their event. Thank you for making our fundraiser a resounding success!

Formal Ball

I have organized many events over the last 20 years and during that time, I have worked with so many event managers at a variety of venue types. Those experiences weren’t all good due to the lack of expertise of the event manager in charge of my events because there are so many details that must be addressed to acquire a positive outcome. This Hilton has a top notch event manager and the team she worked with delivered extraordinary services. The chef was so flexible and talented with the menu. The staff that served us all evening and the manager of the catering department couldn't have been any better. These are all factors that will affect your event, and you will find all of these wonderful people at this Hilton location. Our event went off without a single issue because we were blessed with this Hilton's team members. For those people out there that do not have the experience that I have in organizing events, you do not need to worry, as these people will guide you every step of the way.

Penny & the team at Hilton Washington Dulles are AMAZING!

Although it took me a while to get to writing this review, please know that this 10 out of 10 score is VERY well deserved!! Penny Shafazand was our coordinator at the Hilton Washington Dulles and I must say, I could not have been happier with our wedding day! She eased my anxiety from weeks prior up until the very last minute when my anxiety got the best of me right before I walked through the big gates. Everyone from morning to night staff at Hilton were beyond personable. We had the presidential suite & they catered to our every needs. If you are thinking about where to host your next big day in Virginia, do it here & have Penny and the Hilton team here make your day special like they did mine!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Hilton Washington Dulles Hotel is an amazing venue for medium to very large events. The location is ideal, very close to IAD and easy access to both route 66 and 267. The ballrooms are beautiful, very spacious and very well maintained. The staff is very helpful, hospitable and friendly. Tons of parking. As a DJ, Sound and Light professional I love this venue due to the spaciousness of the ballrooms and tons of electric outlets in baseboard for lighting. It is also very easy to transport my equipment as the ballrooms are on the parking / ground level.
