    Beyond amazing!

    The Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront was amazing. The staff was friendly and attentive. Suzanne was great to work with from the start. She was personable and went above and beyond. The rehearsal, ceremony and reception were beautiful and everything I could have ever imagined.

    Amazing and beyond expectations

    Katelyn was amazing. She thought of so many details that made our day special, and she went above and beyond to make everything lovely and flow well. It was beyond expectations, and I only wish we could get married again!

    Beautiful Wedding, excellent service

    Katelyn and her team were awesome and attentive. We had our ceremony on the sundeck with our reception in the ballroom. The guests are still raving about the food! Katelyn went above and beyond for our special day. I would strongly recommend Hilton Garden Inn Oceanfront!

    Destination Wedding-The Ebrons

    This was the perfect venue for our destination wedding. Katelyn & her team did an amazing job at helping us pull together our dream beach wedding. Despite having to plan during a pandemic & from out of state, Katelyn made the process smooth & less stressful. The venue was flexible & allowed us to change our wedding from March 2021 to May 2021 at no cost due to Covid restrictions. The staff went above & beyond to meet our needs. Thanks so much for helping us make this day beautiful & special.

    Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront's reply:

    Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ebron!

    Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing our venue to host your special day! We loved working with you and hosting your guests. Thank you for being so wonderful and fun to work with. I wish you and your growing family a lifetime of adventure, love and laughter! Congratulations and please come by any time to say hello.

    Best Wishes,
    Katelyn Topping

    Celebrity Service, Top Notch Venue

    Originally we booked with the Hilton in April of 2019. Lynell and her team was phenomenal with helping us through the process. Come March of 2020 there were a lot going on in the world that impacted many things. Well Wendy became our main point of contact and she helped work out everything and was completely flexible with making our day magical but also safe for the times. Wendy and the Hilton went above and beyond for us, the level of how they worked with us is unheard of. We absolutely loved Wendy! The service team was impeccable, Damien was phenomenal and so was Mary! We got so many compliments about the Hilton and guests felt taken care of and my husband and I felt like celebrities! The venue is gorgeous, everything turned out beyond perfect! The food was so good, we had tons of compliments on how yummy the dishes were from guests. The Hilton took care of everything! We had our rehearsal in the garden grill, ceremony in the sundeck and the reception in the ballroom. It was so nice to have the board room rented out too, we had appetizers out in there by the service team. We even highly enjoyed the suite room for our stay, perfect also for getting your bridesmaids hair and makeup done because it was so spacious. We had the time of our life and the Hilton was exceptional! This is a top notch venue with the best service team you’ll ever find. Special shout out to Damien and Mary! You will not find people as caring and accommodating as them.

    Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront's reply:

    Congratulations Heather and Ryan! We are so thrilled that you chose our venue for your entire wedding experience, it was wonderful to work with you plan your special day.
    Our team including Wendy, Damien, and Mary truly enjoyed hosting you and your guests, we had such a great time! We can't wait to see more pictures of your wedding, especially your grand entrance- which was fantastic by the way! Stay in touch and we wish you both a wonderful future together.

    Sincerely, Katelyn, Wendy, and the HGI Team!

    Top Notch Venue

    Lynell and her team were just hands down the best!! From valet all the way to the wait staff, they were so nice, professional, and very helpful. My guest are still talking about the venue and how the staff was so nice and the atmosphere was breathtaking. Lynell and her staff know exactly what they are doing. I was very comfortable with her through the entire two year planning process especially with me being an out of town bride. I had no doubts in my mind about letting her take control and I trusted her opinion and judgement all the way. This venue and team were exceptional. We had an amazing beach wedding without the sand. You can't go wrong with them!!!

    Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront's reply:

    Thank you so much for your gracious remarks Danielle! You and Spencer were a pleasure to work with and I LOVE how it all came together.
    Be sure to share Dustin Lewis's pictures and Marcus's video when they are complete. You did an amazing job being so on top of everything and it shows. Thank you again and let us know how we can be of furthers service. It was our pleasure helping you and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your story! Keep in touch!

    Highly recommend

    Lynell and Kaitlyn were both great in helping to make the wedding of my dreams come true. They were extremely responsive to all questions, never got mad about last minute changes that came up, we’re extremely organized and were easy to work with. The rest of the staff were all extremely polite as well and did a very good job with everything. I highly recommend them for any event!

    The Hilton Garden Inn VA Beach Oceanfront was AMAZING!!! Lynell, Katelyn and team were very attentive, proactive and such a pleasure to work with! The staff at the hotel the entire weekend was better than I can review!! I can't rave enough about them!! Every single staff member was fantastic! It truly says a lot when the staff remembers our guests names and go out of their way to ensure our guests had everything they needed. The customer service was perfect, AND the hotel itself is so beautiful!! We were supposed to have our ceremony on the 3rd floor sundeck (which is gorgeous) but due to the weather, it was held in the ballroom. We are so impressed with how smoothly the transition went from the ceremony to the reception. The entire weekend was seamless, including the rehearsal dinner! I can't say enough about the team at the Hilton Garden Inn! I would 100% recommend this team, and the property!! 5 stars from my husband and me, as well as all of our family! Thank you, Lynell!!!

    Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront's reply:

    Hello Jenn and Brian,
    Thank you kindly for the profound accolades you provided our team. You were so organized and such a pleasure to work with to plan your special wedding celebration! I am looking forward to seeing the professional pictures, so please share when you get them and keep in touch. Your family and friends were so fantastic, and the team loved having them here at your destination wedding (Lager Heads Restaurant especially)!
    Thank you again for your kind words, as we wish you both pure happiness along the journey the lies ahead in marriage. Let us know if you are ever in the area again - maybe for an anniversary trip!! We are pleased everything came together so beautifully, despite the threats of weather.
    Sincerely,
    Lynell and the Entire HGI Team

    Though this was a pricey venue, it was well worth the money! Our wedding was so beautiful here. Even though we ended up doing the ceremony inside due to rain it was still amazingly beautiful. The staff here is top notch! Literally the nicest most hardworking people I have ever come across! Lynell and Kaitlyn helped us so much with the planning process. And all of the staff that set up, the wait staff, and the bartender took care of my guests and were amazing. Thank you all for making our special day so special!!

    Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront's reply:

    Hello Shania,
    Thank you for your kind words. You and Harrison were a pleasure to work with and we are so happy everything came together so beautifully, as planned (despite the rain)! Your wedding day was absolutely gorgeous, thank you for choosing to host your special day with us! Best of luck in your journey and please keep in touch!

    We had our ceremony and reception at the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront last weekend and it was AMAZING!! We met with Lynell more than a year and a half ago and from the very first meeting, she was professional, transparent and super sweet! She laid out all of our options and we loved the customization of this venue!
    When we left our first meeting, me and my now husband knew this was the place that we wanted to get married. Throughout the process Lynell, Katelyn and Kara were so responsive to all of our emails and they were always so pleasant on the phone. I loved that they were just as excited for our wedding day as we were.
    Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect! Though the rain wouldn't allow us to have the ceremony outside on their beautiful sun deck, the staff transformed the ballroom into a beautiful ceremony space! More than I could have ever dreamed of! Lynell made sure to check on us during the night which we really appreciated!
    All of the staff that night including Damien, David & Patrick were on point!! Plus they were so much fun and enjoyed our wedding as much as we did!!
    We cannot thank Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront enough for all of their help, time and patience! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront's reply:

    Thank you Amber and Cole! We absolutely enjoyed helping you plan and bring your vision for your special day to life! We appreciate your kind words and wish you two many years of happiness. Enjoy the journey as it continues and please keep in touch!

    The Entire Team at Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront

    great venue and staff

    If you are looking for an Oceanfront place to host your Virginia Beach wedding, you found it! I am a professional DJ and I work a few wedding events here every year and already have some lined up for next year. Before this year is over, I wanted to take the time and share with all review readers how grateful I am for the opportunity to be able to collaborate with such a great venue and the talented team that makes magic happen every time I am there. A special shout out to Katelyn who I worked with closely, she was able to answer all my questions. They communicate well with vendors, everything is always clean and looks amazing, and the layout options are awesome. They surely go above and beyond for their clients to have the best time ever. Go see for yourself, book your event here!

    The Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront was everything I could ever hope for in a wedding venue. I had toured several venues prior to visiting Lynell at the Hilton Garden Inn but none really felt right. It didn't matter though, because the minute I walked into the Hilton Garden Inn, I just knew. Everything about the Hilton Garden Inn is perfect. The view is breathtaking and the hotel itself is beautiful, and my guests are still raving about the crab cakes and filet mignon. But what I loved most was the staff. I cannot say enough about how accommodating Lynell and her staff were during the entire process. Thank you so much for being so caring and friendly from start to finish!

    Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront's reply:

    Wow, thank you Maizel! She were such a pleasure to work with and I truly enjoyed bringing your vision for your special day to life! We appreciate the kind words and am estactic it all worked out so well! You looked amazing too! We look forward to keeping in touch!
    Thank you again and best wishes to you, Mickey, family and friends!

    So far everything is just fantastic. We looked at so many reception venues and because our wedding is small, approximately 50, most venues wanted to place us in a conference room which looked horrible. The Hilton Garden Inn has an amazing space for small weddings. There is the separate space for cocktail hour, which was important to me, with a gorgeous view of the oceanfront. We looked at the guest rooms and they are just as nice. Our questions are always answered promptly and could not have asked for a better experience thus far.

    I absolutely loved this venue! Every single employee that I encountered the whole weekend was great to talk to and very friendly. The whole planning process was fun and stress-free thanks to Veronica and Hope. They were great at communicating and were very accommodating. I don't know what was better between the catering, event planning process, or the views. Every guest said how delicious the food was and how "cool" the servers and bartenders were. I recommend every bride get married here!

    My wedding was 100% perfect. From the first time I met Hope and Veronica, to the morning after the wedding. They were in constant contact with me, and quick to respond to any questions I had. The food and staff were excellent-my guests couldn't stop raving about the buffet. I would highly recommend this venue for any bride who needs that personal touch. I didn't have a wedding planner, but between Hope and Veronica, I didn't need one. Great experience!

    An Incredible Wedding Experience

    We held our 40th Wedding anniversary celebration at the Hilton Garden Inn. We had a wedding ceremony (vows renewal) a pre-ceremony cocktail hour with live music and a plated dinner service following the ceremony. It was elegant and personal. Our coordinator Katlyn Topping from banquet services was so excellent, I cannot say enough about her. She was always available, professional, detailed and flexible. Katelyn was invested in our event and she made us feel as though she wanted it to be as beautiful and special as we did. The food was excellent too! We gave some feedback about the "special vegan meals we ordered for a couple of our guests being disappointing and she relayed the message to the Chef so that they can do better next time. The wait service was excellent all around. The Hilton Garden Inn Staff made us feel special and valued. It was all around a wonderful experience. Luther & Tawnya Wates est. 1980

    Absolutely amazing at every service they offered. Was definitely worth the money. Our servers and wedding planner was amazing and helped to make the day very stress-free. Could not have picked a better and more beautiful place to have my wedding.

    Great Venue!

    Katelyn was such a pleasure to work with. She made my planning and day of experience easy. She had great attention to detail and was very accommodating with each request. I had a small intimate wedding and the staff ensured set up was done properly and the dining experience was great. Highly Recommended!
