We looked hi and lo for the perfect venue and are so proud to say that Hilton Charlotte Center City was most fitting. This was the perfect location for your wedding especially if you will have a handful of out of town guests coming in to visit ...you. This beautiful venue in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, literally great walking distance access to entertainment (day and night), restaurants, and museums. You have to keep these practicalities in mind when you are "shopping around" for your wedding venue because while your wedding's day events (and rehearsal dinner) are the most important reason why your guests are there, many of them are not going to be doing wedding activities throughout their entire stay - you want to NOT make them have to travel or commute around town to stay entertained.
Additional Feedback:
1. While venue shopping, we were NOT brushed to the side and our time was respected.
1. ORGANIZED Staff
2. COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the bride's vision
3. FLEXIBILITY, SUPPORT, and CREATIVITY for the bride's vision
4. IMPECCABLE SERVICE. For us and our guests. The staff was very professional, tactful, polite (not pretentious), friendly, communicative, classy, accommodating, attentive, and very helpful.
5. DELICIOUS FOOD. Every guest whom we've spoken to (and us) loved the food - hor'dourves and plated dinner - because usually the larger the guest count, the more likely the quality of food decreases.
6. CLEAN and POLISHED venue. The floors are always shiny, the elevators are always clean, the bathrooms are clean and upkept.
7. PATIENT. When our allotted reception time was up, the lights did not instantaneously get turned on to the highest level of brightness like I've read in other venues' customer reviews. We were not rushed out of the venue. Another sign showing how classy the Hilton Charlotte Center City truly is.
8. BEAUTIFUL outdoor ceremony setup at the Clocktower in the heart of Uptown.
9. BEAUTIFUL Ballroom for our reception. (Factoid: When the Hilton Charlotte Center City underwent renovations, it kept the 6 grandiose chandeliers for the Ballroom - these chandeliers definitely demand presence and they are a stunning piece of decor to add to your wedding).
Absolutely A-Team Staff, hands down. I highly recommend this venue and Megan Applegate was AMAZING!!!
