Hilton Columbus at Easton

s all the food was, and how friendly the staff were. We did not have to worry about a thing when planning for and enjoying our day.

foyer. It was the 9 "Beauty and the Beast" chandeliers that did me in. Adam Yezzi is a DREAM to work with. He kept me informed every step of the way, put on a fabulous menu tasting (good luck narrowing it down because everything is tremendous), and was so on it the day-of. We had minor snafus (as all weddings do) and Adam was fixing them before I even heard about them. He organized a wonderful meet and greet cocktail hour and day-after brunch, reusing centerpieces and decor from the reception. If you want to save on the day-of coordinator, Adam Yezzi is all you need. The room block, however, is another story. We worked with Joy and found out roughly 3 weeks out of the wedding that we were OBLIGATED to pay for any rooms in the block that went unused (rather than the hotel simply releasing them as all other hotels I professionally work with do). So imagine trying to wrap things up and getting an email that you are on the hook for another $6K-$8K for unused rooms. As we began cross-referencing the room list with our guest list and asking our guests about rooms, the Hilton was not giving us credit for a lot of rooms booked and several people were told that the block was full. We had begun handing out rooms to family that we thought we were already paying for but when push came to shove and all rooms were tallied, we actually met our requirement and didn't need to comp anyone's rooms, so we STILL paid more than we needed to. There were so many issues the weekend-of (not giving our guests welcome bags, more lost rooms, etc.) that it almost ruined the experience. What gets me most is that Joy had the audacity to tell my mother that she had informed me multiple times leading up to the wedding about the requirement and our status. When looking through ALL emails, she had reached out once 4 months before the wedding with a room block list (that was mostly empty given the invitations had just gone out) and the rest of the emails were me asking her for room block updates. This was frustrating.

y were always gracious and patient with me! They were so helpful from the start to the finish. George even visited with my family from Canton during breakfast Saturday morning. Dimitar our captain for the night was great. They went beyond what their job description was when setting up for the wedding. My guests commented on the bartenders being friendly as well. I just can not say enough to the professionalism, their help in making the reception run smoothly, and answering all questions throughout the entire process. I have one more daughter and as long as "the George and Karen" team will be there, so will her reception! They are an amazing team and owe it to the Hilton team for a fantastic reception. My guests could not get over the reception and cocktail hour! It was not just a reception, but an experience and I thank George and Karen for making it happen! The food was amazing! While I did not get any lamb chops myself, I had many say the seasoning was perfect and the cocktail hour food was amazing! The antipasto display was beautiful! The gyro stand looked great! The waiters were fast and you did not even know they served you they were so light on their feet and not in the way! Fast service and nobody waited long for their food to be served to them. George and Karen had great ideas for setting up the cocktail tables and layout which I appreciated. Loved it! I have only positive comments for the Hilton Easton! Thank you for making it perfect and it could not have happened without you! Cynthia

rything run smoothly, including helping us with last minute details and changes. From the beginning through the wedding day, Joy was so nice to work with in coordinating guest hotel rooms, the day after brunch, etc. -- she was there the weekend of to make sure all went well. Liz, Adam, Joy, George and MANY others made our wedding weekend a breeze. They went above and beyond to make everything perfect -- our families and guests were blown away by the staff and food!! The hotel just underwent a huge renovation and it's absolutely beautiful. Thank you Hilton!!

service was wonderful and Tim Horowitz was a great kitchen captain. Everything was outstanding. I would highly recommend the Hilton at Easton.

give us everything we wanted. My only complaints would be that the cost was a little expensive but we got truly 5 star service and everything was amazing.
