Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center

We chose the Hilton Capitol Center for our ceremony AND venue because 90% of our family and guest would be coming from out of town. I received several compliments from the guest that this made everything so much easier. I will start with my Hilton coordinator, Jaynie who is a 100% Professional. Jaynie was prompt in responding to every email. Her attitude was outstanding. She was with me from the beginning conversations, building our menu, ballroom layout, through to the wedding day. If I needed an on sight meeting to bring in my florist, or just had additional questions, she was more than happy to accommodate. The Hilton hosts a food tasting for all persons planning upcoming events. We had a taste of everything on their catered menu. Truly delicious from the wide array of appetizers, to the Blackened Prime Rib and the Orange Jalapeño Braised Brisket. The menu was well thought out with many appetizing options to choose from. Gourmet Mac N Cheese Bar, Seafood Bar, Carving Station, a table with a variety of gumbo's and bisque, fruit and Louisiana charcuterie display, all set up as they would appear at your reception. The Hilton offered very competitive pricing for our guest rooms. Monet, the Group Room Coordinator watched as our block was filling up and added additional rooms as needed. This was all done behind the scenes, just a little something extra that the Hilton handled for us without even being asked. For the reception, Felicia assisted us along with Jaynie ensuring that every detail was being handled. We truly never had to worry about the small details which on a wedding day is a true blessing. Between these two women and my wedding coordinator, we were all in constant contact which resulted in a beautiful wedding and reception. For guest arrivals, the bellman and valet staff were excellent. Herb was in charge of this area. All of the bellmen/valets met my guest with smiles and eagerness to assist. Herb gave us exceptional service. The personnel at the front desk were very professional and accommodating. The Hilton guest rooms were very well appointed and clean. The wedding was on the 10th floor Heidelberg Ballroom, it exuded true elegance; beautifully decorated with high ceilings and lovely fixtures. After the ceremony we provided a champagne table for our guest as they took the elevators to the 1st floor Riverview Ballroom where our reception was held. This room overlooks the river and is quite stunning. Large enough to accommodate plenty of guest, and our 16' x 30' stage and a 24' x 24' dance floor . Jaynie helps you with the design of the room, including the size of the stage and dance floor and Felicia and her staff carry out that design. The ballroom personnel during our reception were very helpful. The servers were skilled and kept the guest able to move quickly from station to station. The room as a whole was beautifully set up with all the silver serving dishes, and the table cloths and skirting are all new. As a special touch ,the Hilton provides the newly married couple a private meal in the Magnolia Room before they enter the reception. Bettie provided exceptional service for the couple in this area. The Hilton also provided us a black town car for the couples departure. The car was very clean and detailed thanks to Herb. I highly recommend the Hilton Capitol Center for your wedding venue. This was truly a night to remember.

I only had hotel blocks but loved them so much I HAD to leave a review. The staff made me feel so special and told me how beautiful or fun my wedding party was I was every time we walked past the front desk! I loved talking with them and having them be a part of our day. They provided everything we needed and were so polite when we interacted!

Our wedding ceremony and reception at the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center was truly flawless. The sales team, coordination staff, and waitstaff were all extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. Kaleigh was extremely thorough during the planning process and turned our unique vision into a beautiful reality. Kellie arranged our room blocks and ensured that my husband, myself, and our guests were spoiled from the moment we checked in to the venue until we checked out. We could not have dreamed of a better experience and are so happy that we decided on the Hilton as our wedding venue. I highly recommend the Hilton to all Baton Rouge area brides that want to do less planning and more partying!

The Heidelburg Ballroom on the 10th floor was the perfect place for our reception!! We had a crazy day leading up to the reception, as ALL of downtown Baton Rouge lost power around noon and it was not restored until 4 that afternoon!!!! Luckily, our reception was later in the evening. The staff at the Hilton was so so amazing in handling things despite this major hiccup. They managed to get the kitchen up and running on a generator to ensure that all of our food was prepared in time. The elevators were also on a backup generator. The coordinator could not have been more reassuring to us the entire day. She remained in contact and provided constant updates throughout the day. It turned out to be such a BEAUTIFUL night thanks to all of their hardwork. During the planning process, we were a little worried about the ballroom being too crowded since we had about 200 guests, but having the foyer area and the balconies really adds a lot of extra room. The planning process was super stress-free since the Hilton's staff was so friendly and professional. Everyone still talks about how delicious the food and cocktails were!! Definitely recommend this place for anyone trying to decide on their reception venue.
