Hilton Columbus Downtown

uite area as well. Everything was perfect-all my family and friends enjoyed their stay and I (the bride) loved getting ready in the spacious suite spaces with my bridal party! Charles H. was especially helpful with managing our room blocks and making us feel like guests of honor during our stay. Thanks Charles and the great team at Hilton Downtown Columbus!

uite options for getting ready spaces on our wedding morning. Charlie was amazing at helping schedule the room block, rooms, giftbag drop off, and day after brunch!

ntown for so many reasons. We have only found exceptional service from every member of the team. Also, the Event Coordinators like Trevor care about each wedding like it is there own. What a special venue in Columbus!

ecause there were so many miscommunications regarding the setup of our ceremony and reception even though all of the details had been reviewed several times in meetings and written out directly in emails. This created a little stress right before the ceremony was supposed to start because the tables were not set up and everyone was scrambling, but it all ended up working out perfectly. I know that is how large events typically come together, but during a time that should have been completely stress-free, that was unfortunately not the case. This is not any one person's fault as we had worked with 4 different event coordinator contacts at the Hilton since we originally booked the venue in November 2019 (this was due to Hilton furloughs and staff departures). Covid really messed things up for everyone when it came to communication handoffs and that's just how it goes sometimes. Overall, the Hilton was a beautiful location for a New Year's Eve wedding and we were so happy with our decision to have our special day there!

with the cocktail hour food and the reception dinner. The tasting with the chef was amazing and he was very receptive to our feedback and requests. They even helped us create a signature drink that was very important to us. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional. We had a lot of meetings at the hotel before our wedding to make sure that we could check all of our boxes and visualize the space with our vendors. They were transparent with pricing and open to helping us make changes when we had to lower our guest list because of COVID.

eam at the Hilton who planned and executed our perfect wedding reception in less than a month while making sure to keep all of our guests safe and happy! This team works miracles! Our reception was better than we could have ever imagined—from the setup, vibe, food and every detail in between—and the service was extraordinary! The communication was out of this world and every last detail was perfect. We can’t thank Bryan and the Hilton team enough and we strongly recommend this venue and team!

n care of from check-in to check-out. We hosted our reception and morning after brunch at the hotel and every detail of both were executed perfectly. We've been told by many of our guests that it was the best wedding food they've ever had, and we completely agree!

r we asked . Everyone made the day something we will never forget.

ho exceptional in every way.

stated in the initial estimate. When I raised this issue, I was told the consumption was equal to the total number of guest. On our entry to the Burkhart hall as a bridal couple, we along with the wedding party were directed to the buffet table only to realize that there were empty containers at buffet table and so we went back to our respective tables until the food was brought in. This was so embarrassing. In the 6 months, since I initially contracted for this venue, the director of catering and senior Event Manager changed. I had to submit proof of my initial deposit payments as there was lack of communication. Also, I was initially billed the new rates not the contracted rates. After pointing it out to the new Event Manager, I was given the initial contracted rates for the food. I'm grateful I had the receipts. Lastly, I would say the Bryan Wright (director of catering and events) was worst person I have come across during this whole planning. He made my wedding preparation very stressful. I had one simple request, that if any excess food exist, my family would collect it. I was ready to sign any waivers (as my sister had done at a different venue). But, no mean no and I was given how the food would benefit the environment and homeless people. All he cares about is profit. I can understand few mistakes but this was horrible.

locking too many - no easy task when March Madness is in town! Our guests loved the hotel and its proximity to restaurants and bars.

at job making our reception a splendid affair and making our guests comfortable during their weekend stay. I was excited to have our reception at the Downtown Hilton - it is a great location and we were sooo pleased with how wonderful of a job the Hilton did.

nted and more. I attribute the joy and ease of the planning to Blaire!

ers/staff were incredible. Everything flowed very nicely and the manager would check in with my husband and I to see if there was anything else we needed (whether it was another drink or an errand, they did it with no hesitation!) A few days before our wedding we dropped all of our supplies off at the Hilton (additional decor, seating chart, in memory of table, etc.) and everything was set up exactly how I requested. Very glad that I did not spend the money for an outside wedding planner because Blaire and her team were outstanding. It was everything I wanted and my family and I feel as if we got our money's worth throughout the entire process. To top it all off, we arrived to our (complimentary) suite at the end of the night and they had a bottle of champagne, box of chocolates, and some keepsakes from our wedding waiting for us! So thoughtful!

ines that were approaching, such as our room block ending for instance. It was also hard to reach her at times. I was fortunate enough to have some personal coordinators outside of the hotel helping me- and I feel that may have led to us not getting the full-service coordination from the hotel that we were counting on . I was also disappointed that the day before and the day of our wedding I was never approached or contacted by any member of the Hilton staff at any time. These issues were not detrimental to our experience and there are so many great aspects to booking with the Hilton. Examples are: a private menu tasting, full-service staff, free parking for all consultations, and above all else, they were extremely accommodating. Our wedding was rooted in culture and our Coordinator and staff were so open to honoring our custom requests. We had the best day of our lives and the Hilton played such an important role in making it all happen!

that the best part of the experience was Blaire, the wedding coordinator. She is just fantastic. She was quick to respond, organized, and extremely helpful and upbeat all along the way. Our wedding went off without a hitch and Blaire and the hotel staff were definitely a big reason for that!

because of all the out of town guests. I do not regret a penny spent on the wedding and am so glad we bit the bullet on the Hilton. Not only is the hotel itself beautiful and new, it is modern and does not look like everyone else's standard ballroom. The food was delicious and the alcohol was top shelf. We hosted our rehearsal dinner and morning after brunch at the hotel as well. The bar hosted our guests before and after the wedding functions which made the wedding feel like a weekend-long function! Chrissy facilitated the myriad of room reservations for my family and Angie and Deborah kept us notified of all payments and charges. Blaire was a dream to work with from beginning to end. She communicated frequently and met all our wants, needs, and desires. She facilitated, for example, craft beer, and kosher meal options. Her reputation preceded her and any wedding vendor I spoke to lauded her praises. The hotel's in house A/V team set up a beautiful room and were pleasures to work with. You will not regret hosting your event at the Hilton - we highly recommend it for any bride and groom seeking an amazing venue for their big day.

Bar service was top notch. We had our wedding on a weekend with downtown events so the valet was an issue for our guest. I would recommend the Hilton Downtown Columbus.

better experience (especially since since I was a very stressed out bride).

ouple of hours later that we originally planned.

the staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Our guests continuously commented on how friendly and accommodating the Hilton staff was. We also used the hotel for our room block, and had a great experience with that. They stayed on top of the block to ensure we always had enough rooms open for our guests. Could not have asked for a better experience from this vendor!

a great addition, but the bridal suite was STUNNING. They sure know how to make a bride feel special!

rom our guests on how great everything was. I would highly recommend the Hilton Downtown Columbus for any wedding!

ght it was pricey, but then I realized that that's just how much it costs! And, to help make things better, there were plenty of "complimentary" items such as the honeymoon suite, hospitality suite, and other things thrown in here and there. The food was AMAZING, people kept telling us how great their meals were. the waitstaff during the reception was wonderful. Attention was paid to detail, and there were no real issues! On occasion it was difficult to get prompt responses to questions, but then again, I emailed literally every day with questions so I imagine they had other people to worry about than me! We loved it. Minus the yellow curtains in the ballroom ;) But everything else made up for that and it was beautiful!
