Miha Sleigel made this experience seamless. She is a professional with a personal touch. Through the planning process, willing to answer emails immediately (we had 3 people in 3 different time zones) to the 'day of' coordination. She offered direction and guidance when needed. To first looks, no looks, maximizing time at the venue, etc, the best. We were told that the food was the best 'wedding food' of any wedding and the hands down the best wedding. Thank you to Miha and all of her staff. You made it easy! -

Perfect Wedding Day
We found the Hilton Garden Inn for my daughters wedding a little over a year before her wedding. We knew we wanted it at the Beach and that was where we started.
Little did we know that we had chosen the absolute perfect place.
Although it was a bit chilly and windy the day of the wedding, we had a beautiful ceremony on the beach followed by the most incredible night in the ballroom.
Miha was absolutely wonderful. She responded very quickly from the very beginning of our contract. Not like some places you had to send multiple messages to in order to get your answer. Although I had not met her face to face before the rehearsal, when I did meet her I felt as if I was meeting a dear friend.
The venue was perfect for our group of 151 people. The food was wonderful! Highly recommend the beef.
We had some over 21 that do not drink for various reasons and Miha worked with us to make sure that we did not pay for alcohol that was not consumed, and the venue did not give away alcohol that was not paid for.
I wish we had another daughter to do a wedding for at Hilton Garden Inn
If you are considering an event here, do not wait another second. Book it!

Unforgettable venue and outstanding support from Miha!
The rustic oceanfront venue was everything i dreamed of and more. Having the option to do our ceremony inside, on the private pier, or on the beach gave me such peace of mind! We opted for indoors so we didn’t have to stress about the weather, but we took so many pictures on the pier and the beach that i didn’t feel like i missed out at all. The pier house staff was so responsive and helpful, particularly our coordinator Miha. We truly couldn’t have had such an incredible day without her! It was such a relief having her keep everyone on schedule and communicate with vendors, it really was like hiring a wedding planner but her support came with the venue. The other great benefit was the alcohol and catering options. Not having to go through a separate vendor made the process so much easier, and they had a huge variety of menu options to choose from. Overall, I’m ecstatic with my experience and it couldn’t have been a better day. Huge thanks to Miha and her team for making our wedding a stress free and beautiful experience!!Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:
Thank you, Kate, for sharing your experience with us! Nothing makes us happier than seeing our clients living their dream on their wedding day! Best of wishes to you and your husband:) Come back and visit us sometime in the near future! -

I could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding. The beach has a special place in my heart, but we didn't want to get married ON the beach (although that is an option here too!). The ability to get married on a pier above the ocean was the perfect fit for us. It was beautiful, classy, romantic, and still comfortable and down-to-earth. It was perfectly "us."
We had perfect weather, so after the ceremony on the pier our guests mingled on the pier for cocktail hour. If we had not had perfect weather, having the ceremony inside would have honestly been beautiful. I loved having that peace of mind through the planning process. The Pier House is historic and cozy. It is versatile and suited for a variety of wedding aesthetics without being too plain or boring. I felt that our decorations easily enhanced the already beautiful building. If I had wanted to do fewer florals to save money, it would have still be quite lovely.
The food was great. Unfortunately, my husband and I were running on adrenaline and barely ate. I had been looking forward to the cozy shrimp since our tasting...so good!! Luckily our guests were able to enjoy everything. I loved that alcohol, dinner, cocktail hour, tables, etc. are all handled by the Pier House. This really does cover 90% of what you actually NEED for a wedding, and since it's all handled in-house its seamless and makes the initial planning process so easy. You already have so much taken care of as soon as you book! We also felt that it was an incredible value, especially compared to some other venues that are not nearly as unique or all-inclusive.
We worked with Jamie. Her attentiveness and kindness does not stop once she's "made the sale." She was so sweet and responsive throughout the planning process, and she kindly put up with lots of questions from me :) I am very "type-A", and I often find that other people don't have the same attention to detail I do. However, every time I had a question I was reassured that she truly had everything covered and we were in good hands. On our actual weekend, she walked my wedding party through the rehearsal and was there for the wedding to guide us through the ceremony and the first part of the reception to make sure everything was running smoothly. I had a moment of panic when I was about to walk down the aisle and I realized my Dad had no idea how to fluff my dress (and my bridesmaids were waiting for me at the altar!). No worries, Jamie to the rescue. She was already planning on fixing my dress and veil after I stepped outside.
Thanks to the team at the Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Pier House (and our other incredible vendors) our day was a literal dream. I wouldn't change a thing.Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:
WOW! Thank you, Chelsie, for such an outstanding review! We are thrilled to hear how amazing your day was! Best of wishes and a lifetime full of happiness from all the staff at HGI and Kitty Hawk Pier. -

I can't tell you how many times I have heard that this was the most beautiful venue my guests had been to. The food was amazing and Jamie was absolutely CRUCIAL in making sure the day went on without a hitch. They have a huge inventory of decorations you can borrow so I didn't even have to pay for any centerpieces or signs! I wish I could relive the day over and over again (and thankfully I'll be able to thanks to our videographer!) I have ZERO complaints about this venue and would do it all over again if I could. The whole Kitty Hawk Pier team was so amazing, and Jamie was super responsive to any questions I had (and I had A LOT). THANK YOU for giving us the most perfect day ever!!Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

It was so convenient to have food, alcohol, wedding, and ceremony all in one place. The wedding coordinator was so helpful I didn’t feel like I needed a wedding planner. You will need to hire someone to set up chairs for the ceremony. They close off the pier during your ceremony if you choose to have it on the pier vs the beach, but it does open back up during the reception.
I’d definitely Recommend the Kitty Hawk Pier. Also, that view. What an amazing view.Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

T Kairis Sent on 08/06/2022Perfect Wedding Experience at Kitty Haw Pier House!
From our initial contact with the wedding staff to closing the door at the end of our event, the Hilton Garden Inn, Kitty Hawk, NC was professional, accommodating, creative, flexible, and a joy to work with.
There was no detail left unattended and the coordination of the wedding service on the pier, set up of the reception, food service, decorations, and hotel accommodations was flawless. Easily the most fantastic wedding and reception I could have asked for for our daughter!
The Kitty Hawk Pier House is perfect for a wedding reception, easily accommodating our 70+ guests. The Hilton staff transform this venue into something very special for wedding events.
Two weeks post wedding and we still can’t think of one thing we would change or wish we would have done differently.
If you’re looking for the ultimate Outer Banks wedding experience, look no further. It was absolutely perfect.Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

Kitty Hawk Pier Weddings are the Best!
We worked with Miha after touring several other vendors in the area. Kitty Hawk Pier was the obvious choice. Miha was very kind, knowledgeable, and flexible. We changed the number of guests attending several times and she was always helpful. She extended the room block after the deadline as well for some last minute add ons. The venue was beautiful and everything went well. It's a great location! Being able to be on the beach for the ceremony, the pier house has a really nice vibe to it, and being able to walk out onto the pier with a beautiful sunset and the breeze... it was perfect and we couldn't be happier!Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

Brittany F. Sent on 06/17/2022PERFECT beachfront wedding venue!
Loved the venue and the coordinator (Miha) who came with it!! Miha was super helpful from the start - not living nearby, she gave me a FaceTime walk through of the property and venue. Even though she was a "day of" person, she was super helpful starting from the time of booking: answering my many emails/questions, helping with vendor recommendations, etc. She was lovely to work with! During the reception, the strap of my dress broke and before I could even say anything she showed up with a sewing kit and fixed me right up! She even followed up a couple days later asking if the strap held up alright. Rating for Miha: 500 out of 5 stars!!
The venue: price was super reasonable for all that is included: linens, flatware, tables, reception chairs, wait staff, bartenders (you pay a small extra fee for them, but don't have to find bartenders from an outside vendor!), even some decor and centerpiece options. The catering is also done in-house, so one less vendor you have to outsource as well! With all this included, it made planning SO much easier than what I've seen friends go through who have to hire a separate vendor for every little thing. The ceremony was held on the beach, cocktail hour on the pier - both with gorgeous views. The outside of the Pier House left my friends wary of what the inside would look like, but the inside was beautiful as well! Has a sort of barn house feel with large windows overlooking the ocean, and when flowers/greenery were added it was BEAUTIFUL.
Overall, just vary happy with this venue and would absolutely recommend it! -

Great venue!
We wanted to get married in the beach, and even though the weather didn’t cooperate the venue was accommodating and beautiful! The Pier House is gorgeous with wood and the ocean was pounding outside. We couldn’t have asked for better! The accommodations were beautiful, with the beach front rooms which had a romantic two person tub in the room.
The food for the wedding was spectacular, our guests were overjoyed with the appetizers and the amazing entree! We did a combined of braised beef and Tilapia with crab and hollandaise on top. They were accommodating to my food preferences and made a special meal for me which was incredible!
We had so much fun and could not ask for a more helpful staff and better wedding coordinator than Jamie. She responded quickly, was polite and answered all my questions, no matter how silly they were. When the wedding needed to be moved she was right there to ensure it went off without a hitch. Great service all around!Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

We had our wedding at the Pier House this past May, and it was the best decision I ever made! Our ceremony was held on the pier, and having the ocean in the background was absolutely beautiful. The pier is public, but is blocked off for the ceremony, so it was wonderfully private. As for the reception in the Pier House, perfection. The food is delicious and the venue is very pretty inside. We had the pleasure of working with Peggy as our in-house coordinator. She kept in constant contact with us and made sure every detail was squared away. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking to have a wedding in the Outer Banks, definitely consider the Pier House!Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

I picked this venue based on Instagram photos and a video chat 5 months before our wedding! My husband didn't even see it until rehearsal dinner the night before! And let me tell you, absolutely everyone that made the journey down from NJ was blown away! The view from inside the pier house is breathtaking! Not only are you surrounded by waves crashing on the shore below you but the inside of the pier house has a rustic feel with the wooden floors, high ceilings, and chandeliers. The staff is also amazing! Huge shoutout to Miha for all she did for us to make sure the day went smoothly! Highly recommend!Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

Everything was PERFECT!! From the minute we booked our ceremony and reception sites here at the Hilton, Miha was wonderful in answering all of our questions and very responsive. We planned our wedding from Florida and had to reschedule our May wedding due to COVID. We both felt that everything was in great hands throughout this process. I felt that the Hilton did an amazing job helping us plan during the unforeseen times and did a fabulous job on our wedding day. Our wedding day went very smooth and everything was how I imagined it to be. I was very impressed with the staff and the food that was served was amazing! I had so many guests telling me how much they loved the food and enjoyed the entire wedding. We had a beautiful beach ceremony followed by a reception in the ballroom that we had chosen to decorate ourselves. Our wedding truly felt like a fairy tale and we were able to have our dream wedding at an affordable price!Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:

Jamie and Peggy were amazing, from day one to our special day. They took what was our "Plan B" because of the weather and ran with it. Nobody else could've made a day beginning with a tornado threat and ending with snow run seamless like the both of them.Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks Kitty Hawk- Pier House's reply:
