    The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They responded quickly to all questions and were helpful in making decisions for our event. I would highly recommend having your wedding reception here.

    We enjoyed every part of the wedding planning process

    We can’t say enough great things about our experience working with the Hilton to plan and organize our wedding reception. We were lucky enough to work with Maddy for most of the process and it was a godsend having prompt and detailed communication throughout.

    If given the choice again I would without a doubt chose Hilton Garden Inn Downtown and Maddy to help plan our wedding reception. She was patient with all my questions, elevated my ideas and made the process so enjoyable. There was no stress with planning this reception as I knew I was in good hands and everything literally turned out perfect. Thank you Maddy for all your help-- it was the best day of our life!

    My wedding day was made so memorable and stress-free by the Hilton Garden Inn! They made sure everything was simple and convenient for me and my guests! The best way for brides to enjoy the day is try to make things as simple and prepared as possible so there will be nothing to stress about the day of and the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Sioux Falls certainly did that for me! Thanks you Maddy Westra and all Hilton Garden Inn DT event staff!

    We have the pleasure of hosting several events with the team at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Sioux Falls. Not only is the service second-to-none, but everything from the sales process with our clients, to menu selection, room layout and design, as well as event set-up, day-of logistics and even the load-out is such a seamless process. Everyone on the HGI Downtown team has such such a great working relationship and it truly shows! Their synergy is contagious and we can't wait until our next event together.

    We had a great experience at the Hilton Garden Inn. Everyone from the Sales Department to the Front Desk staff went out of their way to make our wedding a night to remember. I have a many compliments from our guests about how wonderful the food at the reception was, how beautiful the reception hall was, and how amazing the hotel rooms were.

    Both our wedding ceremony and our reception were held in the ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn, Downtown Sioux Falls. We had a wonderful wedding, and even though we had three coordinators total involved from start to finish (over the course of ~one year), everything went very smoothly, and we had a fabulous time! The team flipping the ballroom the night before was not aware that we were doing a brief rehearsal although that had been planned in advance, but did quickly accommodate us. The service during the reception was spot-on. Throughout our stay, all of the hotel staff, from the front desk to the servers at the gift-opening breakfast, were kind, helpful, and enjoyable. I am happy to recommend the downtown Hilton, we loved our wedding, dinner, and dance!

    Wedding reception at Hilton Garden Inn Rocks!

    We worked with Ashley to set up the wedding reception. She was very responsive when we
    contacted her and things were well organized! Matt , the event coordinator for us the day of the reception was also very helpful & responsive. The setup was efficient, the food was hot & delicious! The bar was well stocked, & the bartender was friendly & efficient. I would highly recommend the Hilton Garden Inn as a venue!

    When looking for a venue to hold our wedding, the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown was at the top of our list. We knew with both sides being big families we would need somewhere with plenty of room and flexibility. They exceeded our expectations and our guests are still talking about how great the food was! The staff are awesome and are great at helping you to make sure you have everything figured out.

    I'm so glad we held our reception here! We needed a large venue to host our wedding reception because we had a large guest list. I did a lot of research into what location would be the best value compared to other venues of this size in Sioux Falls and this was it! I was so pleased because the location is wonderful and the room is absolutely beautiful with a view of the river out the west end. It was ideal because we did not need to do anything to the room itself to make it look nice. The private patio for our guests was also great because it provided a beautiful view of the river and a quieter place to talk and/or cool down in the evening when the party was going on inside the ballroom. The bar that was set up in the area between the ballroom and the patio was also very convenient because it left plenty of room for people who were waiting for drinks and an area for high bar top tables. I really loved having these three separate areas for the reception because it gave everyone an option of how they wanted to celebrate that night.

    The food was also wonderful! We had a plated meal and the service to our guests was wonderful. Everyone who ordered a special meal, like vegetarian or kids meals, got their order with no problems.

    The service we got from Allison and her team was tremendous! She helped in more ways than I imagined she'd be able to assist us and helped make for a virtually worry-free day for us. She instilled in us the confidence that vendors would be taken care of when they arrived and assisted when/where needed. They also helped put out table numbers, menus, set-up the gift table and place cards. They really went above and beyond making the day go even better than I imagined it would.

    The majority of the day went as well as planned. I was pleased to enter a clean, set room at 8 a.m. as promised. We had to find someone to unlock the room but, as soon as we asked, it was done. The staff had pulled the wrong hurricanes but, it was corrected as soon as we asked. I had a lot of guests compliment the food - especially the horderves we selected. The staff even held back some for our wedding party, which was greatly appreciated by our friends. I was slightly disappointed as my cake topper didn't make it onto my cake, however I don't believe this to be HGI's doing. We were running on time for the day - surprisingly. Once we were introduced into the wedding, we had hoped to be served food. Fortunately, the HGI stuck to it's given timeline however it would have been nice to move up the food service to meet with our "ahead" of schedule. I know this probably wasn't possible so, it was nice that the food was served on time. I was pleased with how the HGI cleaned up effectively after dinner. From what I could tell, there were no Hiccups in food service . Overall, the process was very smooth - especially for someone as attentive to detail as I am. Thank you HGI team!

    A beautiful venue, inside and outside too. The food was delicious, and somehow they served 250 very quickly. Everyone was very professional and helpful. Would definitely use this venue again. I plan on staying here again just because I love it so much.
