The Hilton Garden Inn is a dream place to get married! I can’t say enough good things about it! First- it’s beautiful. The outdoor space was perfect to get married outside in, the ...
ballroom is amazing. The windows overlooking the patio and river make beautiful scenery and natural light for your event. The staff is absolutely amazing! We worked closely with Jackie Berry to make all of our plans a reality. Matt Shaw helped us set up room blocks for our party, and the entire event day staff were great. They ensured everything went smoothly for our wedding. They also went above and beyond with simple little things that made our day that much more special. Whether it was a hand written note, champagne, or cheesecake in our room- it was amazing. I highly recommend this place! It is a great deal for everything involved, and an amazing place to get married in Maine!

The Hilton Garden Inn Riverwatch did an outstanding job with our wedding. From our first meeting with Amanda in Sales to our last meeting with Rick in Catering and all the staff in...
between (Sharon, Meghan, Adam, Matt....) we felt like we were Royalty getting married there. The staff is AMAZING. They all went above and beyond our expectations. I would recommend the Hilton Garden Riverwatch to anyone looking for a class act venue to have not only their wedding at like we did but any function.

My wife and I regret absolutely nothing about choosing this venue for our wedding. When we first started planning the event, we were told "not to worry... we'll take care of everyt...
hing", and they did everything in their power to live up to their word. We chose to have the wedding & reception at the Hilton, which was very simple for guests. There was no driving to and from venues, they can stay in a block of rooms that are held aside for the event... very convenient. The day of, the staff was checking in consistently to make sure we were all set with food, drinks, and anything else they could provide. The ceremony itself took place in the large event room overlooking the waterfalls (beautiful scenery), and afterwards, the guests were taken to a smaller room for the "happy hour" while the wedding party headed outside to pose for pictures in front of the river and falls. After that, the staff had arranged for the "ceremony" room to be transformed for the reception. It all looked FLAWLESS. They opened up another partition to make the room even larger, the tables & chairs looked great, and we soon found out that the food was delicious! We went with plated entrees, but they also offered a buffet and lots of other options to make it exactly how you want (customization is offered on absolutely everything you do). All of our guests raved about the meals, the courteousness of the staff, and the overall professionalism shown by the entire building's staff (front desk, waiters, bartenders, event planners). Several of them told us afterwards that it was one of the most enjoyable and beautiful weddings they had been to. We personally want to thank Rick, Amanda, Amy, and the rest of the staff for making our big day seem effortless and enjoyable. We definitely recommend this venue for any couple who is looking to make their wedding day that much more special.

This was the perfect place to have a wedding. The room was so functional - can be bigger/smaller depending on the size of the wedding, had a very large dance floor, area for the ba...
r and buffet so it was not crowded. We were able to pick some items from the menu and create our own menu items to match the theme and season we got married in. Our server Heather was so accommodating, checking in on us frequently. We didn't get to eat too much due to talking with our guests, but when we got back to the bridal suite a plate of our dinner was waiting for us!

When they say they will take care of everything and allow you to not think the night of your wedding...they mean it! They made sure all of the details were taken care of and also t...
hat we had a blast! They were very helpful. I would make sure you stay in contact though with them to insure all of the pieces are taken care of. A few things fell through the cracks until the week before. This may have been due to change in employees though. Overall great!
