Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront

We had our wedding booked at another venue, which turned out to not be near what we were looking for, so when the Hilton had our date open it was a blessing. First Krista is awesome and a grounded individual for the work she does. She accommodated me and any request I made, she answered all questions throughout this whole process. Krista made sure I felt like this was my day from start to finish. Krista and staff set up all my decorations and arch décor, she ironed my sashes the day of, stored my cake and just went above and beyond. The Hilton staff from reservations, Jennifer and Akisha were great and caring. The staff that worked reception during the wedding was kind and the waitress that hosted our rehearsal dinner was great (though I do not feel the restaurant in the hotel is equipped for a party of 20 because our meals were coming out 30 min apart). I had treats and cards from the hotel congratulating us. My family loved staying here for the wedding. My complaints are, when you get a room block for your family and friends the hotel makes you give them a specific number of people who are staying and you are required to have a % of that stay here or you are liable for the remaining money they would lose, and the problem is most people haven’t even RSVP yet and your calling them to ask if they want to stay in a room so you don’t over you’re your numbers. And even when family and friends say they want a room, half will change their minds. Krista allowed us to use the beautiful private horizon boardwalk to access our ceremony because there were too many people using the other boardwalk (this was the week after spring break), but the issue we ran into was, even though we were having our reception in the ballroom we decided to do a first look 1 ½ earlier before the wedding started in the horizons room and boardwalk area. While we were doing our first look guest started walking in and hanging out with us and no one was stopping them. We eventually moved to the ballroom to finish pictures and more guest started walking in that room instead of being directed to the beach ceremony area. This was really frustrating and during this confusing Krista was hard to find I ended up calling her to find her (again she may have been knee deep in details and I had no clue) But this was defiantly my bridezilla moment. I wanted the guest to be surprised by us not walk in on the first look photos. Also, be mindful if you are using the private horizon balcony you are walking down the same boardwalk the guests use to enter the ceremony so if anyone shows up late they have to wait( this happened, so food for thought). Last complaint and there are not many, was after the ceremony the guest stopped and were hanging out in the empty horizon room while we were finalizing things with our officiant, instead of being directed to the cocktail hour in the ballroom area. (So a little confusion about directions).

We had our wedding ceremony on the beach and reception on the pool deck, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Our point of contact was Krista Smith and she was beyond amazing. We knew planning our wedding from overseas would be challenging, but Krista organized so much for us and always responded quickly- even off hours! The beach area was beautiful. We got so many compliments on the wedding but the thing people raved most about was the food. Krista was able to organize a pig roast, and the people loved the food choices and display she and the chef came up with. The pool deck was a great area for the reception. We were able to enjoy the nice weather and see the sunset while we celebrated with our friends and family. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone wanting to plan a wedding, especially on the beach!

My special day was perfect and stress-free! The ceremony location was just what I had imagined for my beach wedding, the ballroom was elegant, and the food was delicious. Krista took care of everything from the moment I started planning (from 1,900 miles away) until we left for our honeymoon after the reception. If you want a beach wedding, the Hilton will not disappoint!

The venue was beautiful and Krista was so easy to work with. Absolutely if you want an easy beach wedding go here! Also ask for Krista - I wouldn't have done it without her. Truly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that we did the room blocks with them, and that was difficult. Krista was not in charge of this, by the way. Jennifer was - she was hard to contact and made several mistakes (including forgetting to book rooms for my sister). She rectified them all though, and it ended up great.

Honestly, I was going to book this place as my last resort since there were circumstances that happened with my previous venue. the hotel was beautiful! but as soon as I saw the ball room I said to my SO "this is it?" the woman who gave us a tour showed us around the cocktail room, ballroom, and out side. as we were walking outside I was told we could have a beach wedding etc. beach wedding was not what I wanted but as last resort, I didn't care at this point. we saw that there were people at the beach and asked if anyone had access to it when the ceremony was happening. her words were "this is a public beach so we cannot kick anyone out. but I'm sure your photographer can Photoshop them out." my SO and wedding planner were speechless. we not only will be taking pictures but we'll be recording the ceremony as well. so how can you Photoshop a video??? moving on, we went back to the ball room. we asked about cocktail hour and the woman told us we would have the hors d'oeuvres stationed in the hallway and drinks would be in the cocktail room. that's when I said nope. it showed all over my face how upset I was and my SO was ready to leave. luckily, we found a lovely venue that exceeds our expectations!

I had a very nice initial visit with the catering representative to view the facilities at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront in February of 2016 and ultimately booked our wedding ceremony on the beach for February 2017. They have a lovely spot on the beach and I envisioned my dad walking me over the boardwalk bridge to my ceremony. I arrived the Thursday before our wedding to find the boardwalk bridge under construction and trash bins stationed all around. No one had notified me, so it was a huge shock and frankly I was pissed. The representative that I had booked with was on vacation and her assistant turned out not to be very helpful. I felt it was too late to do anything about it, so I went forward with our wedding as planned. On the day of the wedding said assistant said they would station someone at a special entrance to our wedding site on the beach so my guests and wedding party didn't have to walk through the pool area to get there. They were supposed to allow just our group through this side entrance and keep other people out. As the wedding party arrived, there was no one stationed there. Thankfully I had shown everyone where to go prior to the ceremony. Two men with a bucket of beers followed my Dad and I through the opening and halfway down our path until I stopped, turned around and told them they were in the middle of a wedding procession. They seemed surprised despite my long white gown and veil. The photographer couldn't avoid getting the garbage bins in some of the wedding photos as the wedding party made their way across the beach, so I will have memories of the garbage bins at my wedding to cherish for the rest of my life. 75% of our guests (a group of 70 in total) stayed at the Hilton. My dad spent between $300-500 on a family breakfast at the restaurant. We booked the full ocean suite for $300 a night for two nights. We paid to have our ceremony on the beach in front of the Hilton. I'm also an HH Honors member. I would think those combined points would be enough for them to do better than they did for us. Despite this we treasure the day because we got married on the beach like we wanted, it was beautiful and our guests had a good time enjoying Cocoa Beach. Any guest room related issues addressed to the Hilton by myself or my guests were taken care of promptly and they went above and beyond delivering guest bags to our guests. They did an excellent job setting up and decorating our ceremony site, so I appreciate them for all of that. Would I still choose them knowing now what I didn't then? No.

We recently go married at the Cocoa Beach oceanfront. It was a perfect wedding, thanks a lot to the support of the Hilton. Shannon our wedding coordinator was fantastic. She was obviously experienced and made sure everything was well organized. We could not be happier with the results.

My wedding ceremony and reception here were gorgeous dont get me wrong. But other than that, the front desk girls and guys were always rude anytime myself of my wedding party approached them. The valet guys were always awesome and helpful every time we needed help with something. Now, the wedding planner herself? Was awesome up until we arrived to the hotel. I am from out of town so I had no idea what to expect and was already nervous as to what my parents were paying for. She didn't show up to rehearsal because she "had no idea about it" - funny I thought it was her job to know or find those things out. She had no idea what room I was staying in to call me down for the ceremony. Which by the way she didn't even do. I had to call everyone to go down myself, and that included my husband and his wedding party. My mom then had to have the front desk call her because she was no where to be found right before my bridesmaids went down. She couldn't understand why everyone was so upset and even had the nerve to tell my mother she didn't understand why I was so upset over it. Oh, I don't know maybe because you

It's was a great venue . All I had was my ceremony their but a lot of my guest stayed their and Janice in catering went out of her way to help me and make sure I had everything I needed . I asked them to set up the chairs at 1:30 and at literally exactly 1:30 I saw them lining up chairs. They even got me a room so I can see the ceremony spot perfectly from my room . I'm planning on staying there for my one year anniversary. The rooms are great qualities too . So clean and nice

The Hilton did a wonderful job at accommodating our need for rooms, especially planning at last minute. The rooms are clean and we had a nice oceanview, king suite. Lunch by the pool was nice, however breakfast buffet was simply "okay." I would still highly recommend this hotel.

Janice and Maggie are great! I wanted a beachfront reception for a small wedding, but it was in the middle of the day in June. They set me up in their oceanview room, decorated it beautifully. It was wonderful and they were so easy to work with.

We had our wedding ceremony on Cocoa Beach with the Hilton. We used the intimate ceremony wedding package. The decorations (with the arch and such) wasn't what we were expecting, but it was pretty, I guess. We wished they would have asked people to leave some room behind the ceremony (for all of 20 minutes) so that there wouldn't be people in bathing suits in our pictures. They didn't though. That bothered us a little bit. The reception was great. The decorations was really pretty and anything extra I asked for (candle votives, extra table, etc) were provided right away. They took our welcome bags behind the front desk and handed them out to all of our guests, which was really nice. I was working with Janice through the whole planning process. She took off on our wedding day so we worked with Maggie. She was really sweet and helpful. We did fajitas for our guests for dinner, they were really good. We wished there was rice and beans, though. The beer, wine, and soda bar was good... thought it was a bit too expensive though. We only used 1 of their recommended vendors (florist) and we had TONS of issues with them. I think they were called A1 Cocoa Beach Florist or something like that. Wouldn't recommend using them.

We had a great experience with the Hilton for our March wedding. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, so our beach wedding was moved inside. The Hilton staff had everything set up beautifully for our ceremony despite the last-minute change in plans. We had a cocktail hour in the Horizons room - just beautiful. The room has huge windows that look out over the dunes and the water. Our reception was in the ballroom, and it was perfect. The food was DELICIOUS. I totally recommend putting the mahi mahi on your reception menu.

Beautiful view, everyone had a blast at my wedding! Definitely recommend this vendor if you're thinking about getting married beachside!

Janice Romano did a wonderful job of making my wedding day beautiful!! It was the perfect day and I would not have changed anything!!

The Hilton was a great place to have my beach wedding and outside reception. Janice Romano was amazing to work with! She meet with us emailed called contant during the months leading up to make sure all plans were made and my day was perfect. The only down side to the hilton is the breakfast at the hotel is very pricey for what you get.. Our wedding was beautiful thanks to the awesome location on the beach and Janice help!
