We worked with the Hilton Netherland Plaza for a wedding block of rooms as well as rehearsal/welcome dinner for our December 2024 wedding.
Vinny was excellent - very accommodating and communicative the entire time. He allowed us to schedule a tour to see event spaces, room options, ready rooms, etc and was absolutely lovely.
We hosted our welcome cocktail party in the mezzanine on a Friday night. Food and drinks were wonderful - lots of options for different budgets and dietary restrictions. There was live jazz music playing in the hotel bar which drifted up to the party for a dreamy ambiance.
Our wedding party came back to the art deco lobby bar after our wedding and stayed until close - great service, drinks and atmosphere.

Our daughter was married at the Netherland on October 25th. Due to family circumstances, the event had to be moved up 8 months from the original date.
Anna Jackson and the staff could not have been better in making for a perfect wedding and celebration in a short period of time. The entire event went smoothly and beautiful. The happy hour on the mezzanine was outstanding. Helen, our bartender for the evening, became a friend of all who attended.
Thank you Netherland Plaza for a beautiful venue and a special thanks to Anna for her dedication to detail and wonderful communication skills.
Definitely 5 Stars!

Our daughter was married in the Continental ballroom and had her wedding reception in the Hall of Mirrors ballroom at the Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel. My daughter’s wedding day was truly magical. The ballrooms at the Hilton are absolutely gorgeous. The food was served hot and was delicious. The Hilton staff were very kind and attentive during cocktail hour and the reception. Anna was very prompt with answering all of our questions and made the planning and execution process very easy. We received numerous compliments from our guests regarding the quality of the food, service and absolute beauty of the venue. I would not hesitate to host another event at this beautiful historic venue. I highly recommend the Hilton Netherland plaza if you’re looking for a gorgeous venue with superior service and food for your wedding day.

Anna & the Hilton team were nothing short of amazing. Venue (Hall of Mirrors) was perfect in every way. Food was the best we have had at any wedding we have been too. Service, bar & catering, was outstanding. Over 150 guests with little to no wait at the bar and food delivered in a timely manner with a smile. Anna was the coordinator and provided key inputs through the planning process. They completely setup a multitude of extra items we wanted put out for the guests (guest book, signage, etc). Cannot recommend this venue & team enough!

We booked our room block for our wedding the weekend of 8/5/23 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. The hotel itself is beautiful. It is on the historic registry and very well-preserved. The communication with the hotel leading up to our wedding was great. In almost all cases, we received timely responses. We held our after-party in the hotel bar, which was absolutely gorgeous. We also held a brunch at the hotel the day after the wedding, and we were very happy with the room where the brunch was held, as well as the food and service. Overall, we would recommend the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza.

We did not get married at Hilton Netherland Plaza, but this was where our hotel room block was for our wedding guests. I only recommend your guests staying here if you are actually getting married on site; otherwise, they don't give much attention to your wedding block. We had a tough time planning our block with the event staff at the Hilton. It was difficult to receive an email back when questions were asked initially, and we could not get a straight answer on how many rooms they would allow us since we had a large portion of out-of-town guests. We got different answers depending on who we spoke to. The person I was initially working with left the Hilton so I was given to a new staff member who confused my reservation with another wedding block and all the details were messed up THE WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING. It was a bit of a nightmare. On the night of our wedding, my guests all came back to the Hilton bar in the main lobby and were rudely not allowed in before their premature closing because they were short staffed, and the proper ordering had not been done so they were out of everything. We were also promised champagne and chocolates in the Honeymoon suite to which we did not receive until we called and complained, and even then, it was not a pleasant experience since it was the same staff from the Bar that evening. We received a bottle of warm Rose wine and no chocolates at around 2 in the morning. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 only because of how visually stunning this hotel is and its centralized location. Otherwise, I would recommend booking elsewhere with less headaches and cheaper rates.

The Hilton Netherland Plaza is a staple in Cincinnati and the eclectic vibe sets the perfect stage for a wedding. My husband and I got married in the Pavilion Room on New Year’s Eve, which went perfectly with the gatsby vibe I was trying to accomplish. Elizabeth and her team provided rooms for the bridal party to get ready in, a honeymoon suite for my husband and I, and a room block for all our guests making it easy and convenient for everyone in attendance. The wait staff was energetic and attentive, the food was excellent and the bar was well-stocked with multiple drink choices. Making for a perfect New Year’s Eve night, thank you Elizabeth, and the Hilton catering team for giving us our dream New Year’s Eve wedding!

One word…Stunning! We hosted our daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza on 10/22/22 and it was unforgettable. It was one of the best decisions we made. The venue itself has so much beautiful history. The continental Ballroom and the Hall of Mirrors were absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests about the elegant feel of both ballrooms. The service and staff were very friendly, professional, and on top of everything. Not to mention the food was amazing!
Working with Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. She was welcoming, friendly, organized , hardworking, answered all my many questions, and put me at ease. She got the job done without a hitch. Elizabeth, thank you, thank you, thank you! We are so appreciative of all you did to make our daughter and son-in law’s wedding such a magical event. Every detail was perfect.
Thank you to the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza and Elizabeth for everything. It was a first-class affair and exceeded all our expectations! If you would like your wedding to be over-the top, beautiful, elegant, magical, and classy, then please consider the Hilton Netherland Plaza for your venue.

We hosted our reception at the HNP Hall of Mirrors. It was a stunningly beautiful venue that needed no extra decoration. We worked with Rachel who was a responsive and effective liaison throughout the entire planning process. Because of her, we had nothing to worry about on our big day. The food was excellent and the staff was incredibly organized and professional. Our guests continue to tell us weeks after how beautiful the venue is and how great an experience they had. The convenience of the venue being part of a hotel allowed our guests to stay at the hotel for the entire weekend with a very generous nightly rate. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone hosting their wedding in Cincinnati.

My daughter and son in law contracted with The Hilton Cincinnati Netherland 10/15/2022. I do not know how to put in words how wonderful the experience was. We all felt like we were treated like family from start to finish. Special shot out to Elizabeth Bowker, the Hilton event planner, Christine at the front desk and Jason ,the extraordinary Valet. Everyone that we came in contact with were excited for my daughters wedding and ever so helpful. I also want to say a little about the vendors that were recommended by the Hilton. Elisa Mackenzie from Elegant Events was a wonderful wedding planner. Also Courtaney Lambert Florist made the Hall of Mirrors look like an elegant garden of love. Jessica Wiggins Photography produced memorable photos as well as Signature Photo Booth ,who provided real time photo memories for guest to take home. Clear lighting made Courtaney Lambert's flowers pop and Brideface Makeup Professionals, also a preferred vendor of The Hilton made my daughter and her bridesmaids look like princesses. Last but not least, 2nd Wind Band led by Edwin Butler made the roof shake and everyone commented that they will be famous some day. I hope I didn't forget anyone. I can not thank The Hilton enough. Right from the start of planning I knew they "had my back". The planning booklet with their preferred vendors was a wonderful tool that immediately helped plan the best wedding ever.

I utilized the Hilton Netherland Plaza and blocked hotel rooms for my out-of-town guests for my wedding weekend. The communication between Alyssa was incredible, and she was responsive and easy to work with. The booking, check-in and check-out processes went smoothly, and the guests felt comfortable and safe in their rooms. I definitely recommend that anyone celebrating their wedding weekend in Cincinnati use the Hilton for a hotel block!

I cannot express fully in words how incredible Elizabeth and the entire staff at the Netherland are!!!! No detail was too small, all went above and beyond...the weekend surpasses our wildest expectations. Elizabeth Bowker was always available to answer any questions. She even came in on her off time to assist with a very small situation! The food and service was impeccable and both rooms (Continental Room and Hall of Mirrors) were gorgeous. Our guests...both in town and out of town were blown away by the venue, food and service. The Hilton Netherland Plaza is the best venue for your special event in Cincinnati, bar none!!!!

I am mother of the groom, but was the one who worked with Elizabeth, planning and executing my son, and his bride's wedding reception. Elizabeth was so professional, and so friendly, and so helpful. She was so fantastic that I can't imagine having a reception anywhere else. The venue looked absolutely amazing, the food superb (guests cannot stop commenting on how good the food was for such a big event). Vendors that we worked with (band, flowers, cake, lighting, etc.) all love working with the Hilton and that says a lot. Everytime we booked someone, they were so happy to hear where we were having the event, and I now know why. What a perfect night. Thanks to the Hilton. Very special thanks to Elizabeth.

We had our reception in the Hall of Mirrors at the Hilton Netherland Plaza in Downtown Cincinnati. The entire venue is tremendously glamorous while maintaining the highest level of service. We worked with Elizabeth Bowker (Hilton Event Planner) who was extremely professional and organized, yet also helped us feel relaxed about the day. Thank you Elizabeth and Hilton Netherland Plaza for assisting us in hosting the wedding reception of our dreams!!

Not only is this venue absolutely STUNNING but their Catering Sales Manager, Elizabeth Bowker, is the best of the best at what she does. She worked with me hand in hand throughout the whole process and she made sure that everything went off without a hitch! Walking into the hall of mirrors on the night of our wedding, both my husband and I were at a loss of words, as were all of our guests. We had seen the ballroom so many times before but seeing everything come together and the room completely transformed for our big day, truly had us taken aback. We have received more compliments than we can count from guests about how absolutely stunning and perfect our wedding was and we owe it all to Elizabeth and the amazing staff and the Hilton. We could not recommend the Netherland Plaza enough!

This place is the prettiest indoor wedding venue in Cincy - I'm 100% positive about that. The architecture and indoor design is so elegant that you probably wouldn't even need table décor if you wanted to skip that part to save money. Nobody will remember the centerpieces anyways. But still, we get compliments quite often on how our wedding was the most elegant they've ever attended. A lot of the photos you see in reviews will show the hall or mirrors, which is no doubt jaw dropping gorgeous. But, we had a tight budget and a smaller guest list (120), so we were shown the Continental Ballroom and I fell in love. We worked with Annette closely to make sure we stayed in budget and she answered my nearly daily emails of random questions. The food (including cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres) were a 10/10 and every guest/wedding party member was plump and happy! I didn't hire a wedding planner so it was up to Annette to insure the ballroom was decorated how I wanted. I gave Annette a list of how I wanted the décor set up and about 10 boxes full of random vases, candles, flowers, and pictures - she and her team made the room look better than what I could had ever imagined. Everything was perfectly placed! We had an unfortunate family emergency right before our grand entrances and everything was put to a halt until we could resolve the issue. Annette and her team were quick to respond and assured my husband and I that they were doing everything in their power to help out and did their best to keep us in good spirit. Once everything was resolved, we resumed the night seamlessly and everyone on Annette's team, and the waitstaff were so kind. We were so gracious for their help with our family above all else and we felt genuinely cared for. There is not one thing we would change about our wedding. The NP hotel is a true treasure for Cincinnati and completely encapsulates my dream vision for the best day of our lives.

We recently had hosted our daughter’s wedding and reception at the Hilton Netherland. The wedding date was postponed 3 times due to Covid 19. We originally started the process with Roger, and in July 2021 started working with Elizabeth. We were very impressed with her attention to detail and knowledge as we approached our event date. She was always available for our questions. The wedding and reception were held in the Continental Room. It was beautiful! The staff during the reception were very professional and went above and beyond to help the guests enjoy the evening! The rehearsal dinner was also held at the Hilton. The food was delicious!We also hosted a Farewell Breakfast the following morning for the guests staying at the hotel. Again, the staff were wonderful! The guests enjoyed staying at the hotel and not worrying about leaving the hotel. As luck would have it, it rained the whole time we were there. I would highly recommend using the Hilton Netherland for your event!

We recently held our daughter’s wedding reception at the Hilton Netherland Plaza. This was a rescheduled Covid wedding from 2020. We are so thankful that the Hilton worked with us in the reschedule. They made it a painless experience, in what was an extremely painful time period in the hospitality industry. We even had to go from one wedding coordinator to another in the midst of this - yet not a beat was skipped. Roger, the previous coordinator, was amazing, and now Elizabeth is as well! Everything about this place is top notch! The ballrooms are absolutely gorgeous! We used two different ones. Though holding the actual wedding ceremony at our cathedral, we held a Sofreh Aghd ceremony and the cocktail reception in the Continental Ballroom. Our dinner/dance was held in the Pavilion Ballroom - a throwback to the glamour and glitz of the 1930’s. I cannot say enough about the food served as well. One of the items on our menu was a duet of beef - filet mignon and short rib ragu. It was outstanding at our “tasting”, but we wondered whether it could be replicated when the quantity increased to over 100 plates! They did it - each filet was amazingly tender, and temperature was the perfect light pink. On the morning following the wedding, we hosted a breakfast buffet for our out-of-town guests in the Continental Ballroom - once again, taste and presentation were at the top. In addition, when planning a wedding, there is something to be said about convenience for your guests. Once ours parked, their cars could remain in the garage until they departed, with a one block walk to a Welcome Dinner at Via Vite, and bus transportation to/from the Cathedral. You cannot go wrong here - truly a wonderful place, and a wonderful staff to work with.

I had my wedding reception at The Hall of Mirrors in the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza and I am blown away by how incredible the experience was. Every person we came in contact with was incredibly professional, kind and helpful throughout the entire process, especially Roger, Barbara and Jonathan. Roger, our wedding coordinator, was extremely positive, quick to respond, and always put our minds at ease. He was great to work with and made sure that every detail was taken care of. I am grateful for him and all of the staff at The Hilton for the incredible service. Highly highly recommend!

We rented out the getting-ready suite at the Hilton Netherland to avoid over-populating a room at my church before the ceremony (due to the pandemic) - every single thing we needed, the staff took care of. When photographers, videographers, hair stylists & makeup artist arrived, we didn't have to lift a finger. The staff directed them to where they needed to be and made everything effortless for us. We were able to order mimosas and they even let us borrow a gown hook to hang my wedding dress on! All in all, I could not have asked for a better experience!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Hilton Netherland Plaza and couldn’t have been happier with how the weekend went. The location is perfect, right downtown and so close to Fountain Square. The hotel itself is stunningly beautiful throughout. The food was delicious and well-prepared; we are still receiving compliments about it! But the best parts were all of the people who helped to make our event a success. Roger signed us on and made us feel special with his thoughtfulness. Lisandro and Maureen were amazing banquet captains; they kept everything running smoothly and were very attentive to our wants and needs. But the event was truly a success because of Taylor. She was superb in all that she did: so organized, responsive, helpful, and flexible. She made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout a process that is inherently stressful. She answered my MANY questions and was just all-around an amazing coordinator who was truly fun and a blessing to work with. Thank you to Taylor and the entire Hilton team for making our wedding the perfect event that we dreamed of...we highly recommend having your event here!

We got married in the Hall of Mirrors, and all of our expectations were exceeded. We worked with Roger Swonger and Katie Scalf, and honestly they were the best people we could have gotten paired with! They were attentive, professional, accessible always, kind, PATIENT, and beyond helpful. I was planning an out of state wedding - being downtown was a key. After viewing a few venues, I was sold on this pretty quickly. My guest's experience was a top priority of mine - this is why we went with the Netherland. The food, the service, the venue - the amount of compliments and just gratitude after the event was just insane! All the details were perfect, down tot he timing of the details, it flowed so easily and perfectly. The staff was just incredible, great guest to staff ratio, layout was awesome, if you are looking for 5-star service, I highly recommend this venue!!

We had our reception in the Hall of Mirrors. Gorgeous! Such a cool looking hotel in general & the reception hall was absolutely breathtaking!
The staff were all amazing - specifically the catering manager Devin Harkins. During the planning process & the day of she was extremely professional, responsive, friendly, competent, and took care of every detail to make sure our day turned out beautifully. I could not have asked for a better catering manager. The rest of the staff (Roger, the chefs, the day of coordinator) were great as well.
I got so many compliments from guests on the reception hall, the food (catered by the Hilton), and how smoothly everything went. I am SO glad we made the decision to have our reception there - it really made for a perfect night.

The Hilton Netherlands Plaza blew us away and gave us the best wedding of our DREAMS. The whole catering group does an amazing job of delivering everything you need to a timeline, room layout, picture perfect reception and so many accommodations! We had Devin and could not have been more pleased with her professionalism and flexibility during this process. I moved out of state and they Made sure to be available to meet with me any time I was in Cinci to make sure we had everything we needed. The reception hall included a bridal suite for the bride and bridesmaids to stay in the whole weekend and was the PERFECT place to get ready! It also included the honeymoon suite and many room upgrades and room discounts for your guest. The food was absolutely incredible from any option you chose. The drinks were Devine especially their signature cocktails. The room was magical and they made sure each detail was laid out to exactly how we wanted it to be. The whole night was so well organized and it flowed very organically. It was great that there is a huge bar in their lobby where the whole wedding went and continued the celebration after the wedding. I have had countless people tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to and it wouldn’t have been possible without The Hilton!!

The Hilton Netherland Plaza was the best decision of our wedding day! The venue itself is stunning and full of history. The staff went above and beyond at every turn. I cannot say enough great things about the staff here. Devin was our wedding coordinator and exceeded every expectation that we had. There was not one single thing overlooked. Our wedding day ran flawlessly and there is not one single thing that I could have asked them to do differently. Everyone says expect something to go wrong on your wedding day. I can honestly say there was not one thing wrong at the Hilton. I highly recommend this venue for a day you won’t forget!.

The Hilton Netherland Plaza is hands-down one of the most beautiful venues Cincinnati has to offer. We got married in the Continental Ballroom (120 guests) and the day was more beautiful than we could've imagined. The Catering Sales Manager, Taylor, helped everything go off without a hitch and she was a joy to work with. Taylor was super responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and made sure all bases were covered. Highly recommend this venue & suggest that you request Taylor as your appointed coordinator :-)

We planned our wedding during what turned out to be an unfortunate time. We had been working with a planner at the Hilton Netherland Plaza for about a year. Roughly four months before the wedding, Hilton had a shakeup in the events planning department and we lost the person we had been working with the previous 12 months. A few weeks before the wedding, we also lost the person who replaced our initial contact person and, at that point, things became a bit stressful. Things we had discussed with previous contacts were lost in the shuffles and we were certain nothing would go as planned. Weeks before the wedding, I was already crafting a terrible review; however…
We used the Continental Room for our reception and it is tough to find a more elegant or more photogenic venue. Roughly 80% of our guests were from out of town and they were completely blown away with both the Continental Room and the accommodations. So, Hilton gained a point just for having a stunningly beautiful hotel. Then…
Literally every employee we encountered not only made sure we received excellent service, but went out of their way to make us feel welcome and special. The bartenders and employees who were serving both the pre-dinner cocktail/hors d’oeuvres and the sit-down meal made a point of telling us how happy they were for us. I don’t think we encountered one person who did not go out of their way to make us or our guests feel welcome for the entire stay.
What would you expect from Chef Todd Kelly? Excellence. Everything, including the displays, the appetizers, the main courses, desserts, and late-night snacks were perfectly prepared works of art. We even included beef tenderloin on the menu and feared it would be overcooked or, if cooked perfectly, served cold. No such worry; it was perfect and served warm. There were no long waits and the precision of the service was an extraordinary thing to see.
Now onto room setup and design. Basically, we ran an experimental design because the room had to be setup to host the ceremony, the meal, and dancing with no breaks in between the three. Initially the staff at the Netherland was skeptical, but they pulled it off using creativity and logic. The entire night flowed beautifully. The staff who set up the room was efficient and delightful to work with. The event managers kept everything moving at breakneck speed without raising a sweat. Everything the adult and children gifts we wanted placed on each table were placed to complement the flowers and place settings.
Overall service and price. I can only give Hilton Netherland Plaza 4 stars because of the stress caused with staff changes taking place so close to the wedding. Had we kept our original staff from start to finish I would find a way to squeeze a 6th star into a 5-star rating scale because everything else delivered WAY over what I would have expected for 5-star service. As I said before, our guests were totally blown away by every single aspect of the weekend from the accommodations, the brilliant service, elegant surroundings, phenomenal food, to the open and well-stocked bar. Considering what we would have paid at other venues and the quality of food we would have had using outside caterers, the price we paid was a bargain.
I would recommend Hilton Netherland Plaza for any event, but, if you want a spot to impress and amaze on one of the most important days of your life, I would tell you to go nowhere else.

We reserved a block of rooms here for the bridal suite and also for the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Everything was perfect. The upgraded us to a king suite with 2 bathrooms which was perfect for 8 girls getting ready before the wedding and when we arrived back at the hotel after wedding there was a bottle of Champagne and Chocolate covered strawberries. It was an amazing experience all around and we were treated as if we held our wedding there. Would highly recommend for the wedding party to stay here.

In May 2016, we hosted a wedding with a large number of out of town guests in Cincinnati. In order to offer our guests a true Cincy experience we arranged a block of rooms at the Hilton Netherland Plaza in downtown. This choice proved to be one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning.
First, the hotel is gorgeous. The art deco feel, restaurant, arcade and the rooms are all so unique. Our guests all commented on how beautiful the hotel was, especially the bar. In addition to the ambiance and location, the staff could not have been more accommodating.
It all started by working with Karen in the group sales department. She was so professional, responsive, and excellent to work with. She offered us a great rate and answered all of our questions throughout the entire (almost) yearlong process. For the wedding block there are even several incentives for the organizing group (extra Hilton points, free stays, room upgrades, etc.) that made the weekend extra special. She even organized tours of the rooms and set us up with dressing rooms for our bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Upon arrival at the hotel the staff was nothing short of wonderful. The valet was very easy to use and the front desk associates and staff made us feel as we were the most important guests in the hotel. This was quite a feat on a weekend when there as a music convention and at least five other wedding blocks in the hotel.
I highly recommend anyone who needs to organize group rates to look at the Hilton Netherland. Our out of town guests loved the central location and the high end accommodations. The staff was great, and we will certainly stay again when in Cincy.

Taylor Chubb was our wedding coordinator for the Hall of Mirrors at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza for my daughter's wedding reception in April. She was very professional and we were extremely happy with the food, the cake, the venue, the decor and the fabulous service. I would highly recommend this venue - you'll be glad you did!

I was blown away during our year of planning when working with the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza! The venue is historic and absolutely stunning. All of the staff are exceptional, and you will not find better service in all of Cincinnati! I was truly confident that they Hilton would execute our dream wedding, and they gave us so much more!

Choosing to have our ceremony and reception at the Hilton Netherland Plaza was easily the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process. I live out of town and had to plan everything over the phone or by email. They made this very easy for me and were always quick to respond with an answer. Our original coordinator/catering manager ended up leaving her position, but Taylor Chubb stepped in without missing a beat, and made sure everything was perfect! She is amazing. Weddings can be stressful, but the Hilton is a well-oiled machine that takes so much of the burden off the bride and groom! At first glance, the price seems high, but you have to consider all that is being provided..a catering manager & banquet captain, a suite to get ready in (equipped with mirrors, chairs, tables, a steamer for your dress), an adjoining guest room, a private holding room for the bridal party during cocktail hour with a mini food and drink display, upgraded rooms for the parents, a suite for the bride and groom on the wedding night (stocked with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries), exquisite service, and not to mention the BEST food in town. The Continental Ballroom was perfect for our small-ish wedding of about 110 guests, and is breathtakingly beautiful with the art deco decor. The room flip between the ceremony and the reception was executed perfectly, while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the mezzanine, overlooking the Orchids restaurant (with live jazz music). Many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and that is thanks to the Hilton and their excellent service.

My advice for any new bride is the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza is the venue to have you wedding at! From working with Jillian, the coordinator, to the Catering Manager, to the Catering Captain, I felt pampered every step of the way! Not only was I able to get ready at the Hilton before my big day, and stay there in the evening but I felt like the Hilton was my exclusive wedding venue even with other weddings going on!
I cannot gush enough about how wonderful the Hilton is! It catered to every one of my wishes and my wedding was everything I ever dreamed about!

The Hilton made our wedding day more than we could have ever imagined! Our family and friends RAVED about the food and the service was incredible. We worked with Taylor (someone who I've known since I was young) and she's phenomenal at what she does. Any question we had while planning was quickly and clearly answered- and she patiently answered questions I'm sure we asked more than once. I can't recommend this gorgeous venue enough!

The Hall of Mirrors was the first and only venue my fiance and I looked at for our July 4 wedding. It was so beautiful and unique we just had to have it! Our coordinator at the Hilton (Annette) was the epitome of responsive, professional and knowledgeable. Everything we wanted our wedding reception to be, Annette and the Hilton made it happen. From passing a signature Netherland Plaza cocktail to our guests during the reception to chocolate covered strawberries and champagne in our bride/groom suite that evening - No detail was overlooked! Guests loved the Hall of Mirrors and the history embedded in the hotel. The food and drinks were also spectacular! A huge THANK YOU to the Hilton for making our wedding day absolutely PERFECT!

Taylor was EXCELLENT at assisting us to create the wedding of our dreams! She went above and beyond to try and make our day as complete and worry free as possible. The only thing that was frustrating was that we were never told where our groomsmen would be entering and didn't find out until minutes before the wedding started (we had to practice in a different room due to a wedding in our room the night of rehearsal). Otherwise it was perfect and I would highly recommend it!

We initially went to the Hilton because I don’t believe there is any place more beautiful in this city. We had both our wedding and reception in the Continental Room, and it was absolutely gorgeous… just like we pictured it. We knew it would be beautiful, what we didn’t know was just how amazing the Hilton staff would be to work with. We worked with Taylor Chubb for our planning, and if I could go back and plan this day over and over again, I would have Taylor there every time. She made our wedding perfect. I can’t say enough about how incredibly smooth the planning process went and how special everyone involved with the wedding felt during our wedding weekend. It was a perfect day, and I can’t imagine it being anywhere else. I can’t recommend the Hilton enough. They were awesome!

Kelly helped me plan the accommodations for my perfect day! She was extremely helpful in organizing all of the details for my guests as well as my bridal party. We had several rooms the night before the wedding, but needed to switch to other rooms for the night of the wedding. Kelly made the transition so easy for us! I will definitely use the Hilton again!

I worked with Ashley J. at the Hilton and had a reception of 300 people in the Hall of Mirrors. She was so attentive to all the little details/touches and made sure that the entire evening went on without a hitch. It was the most perfect, beautiful night I could have imagined.

We had our ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors, our cocktail hour in the Continental Ballroom, and our reception in the Hall of the Mirrors this past January [2013]. We worked with Marianne, and she was amazing! She helped us with everything we needed, down to the last detail. The rest of the staff was perfect as well the entire evening. The food was TO DIE FOR, and people are still raving about it (the short ribs are the best!). The whole evening went perfectly an we have the Hilton to thank!

When my husband and I walked into the hall of mirrors we were in love. The room was perfect and to make it even better Marianne and the rest of the staff's attention to detail was unparalleled. All of our requests were fulfilled and our guests just raved about the service. We could not have been happier with our service from the staff.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. I knew the Continental Ballroom was for us as soon as I saw it. The only "decorations" we used were flowers and uplighting. Our catering manager, Heather, was phenomenal to work with from planning to post-reception. The entire staff at the Hilton was absolutely wonderful and the food was delicious! My guests are still talking about the braised beef short ribs.

I would recomend having either your reception or both teh ceremony and reception at the Hilton downtown Cincinnati! My reception was in teh Hall of Mirrors and it was breath taking. We added flowers to teh tables and pin lighting and the hotel staff did the rest. I loved working with their staff. Everyone was very polished and had everything under control the entire evening. Not to mention the food is excellent!

We chose the Hilton because we loved the architecture and really liked the first person we worked with. As our wedding got closer, we received a new person to handle our wedding (the other person left the company). We felt that she lacked the passion needed to work in the wedding business. It appeared that this was "just a job" to her. It was very hard to get her to respond to our questions via email and phone messages. The day of the wedding went well and everything worked out. I was a little disappointed when the banquet manager was upset that I wanted all of the table decorations (maybe I'm cheap but I spent a lot of money on everything and I had to return some things to the florist). The week after the wedding I realized that I was shorted some of table decorations. The person we worked with never responded to my messages (both phone and email). I finally talked with the manager and he quickly took care of things. Overall I was happy with the reception but felt that the service needs to be improved especially with the price we paid.
