re. She made us feel like we were the most important people and so special. She was truly there for us every step leading up to the wedding. Jamie was always so quick to answer our emails and calls and she was always professional. On our wedding day Jamie gave me her cell phone number and said anything that we need please text her and she will be right there for us! She made our whole experience at the Hilton Pearl River unforgettable. Linda and Derek our maitre d also were also unbelievable!! They were there for us every step on our wedding day. They made everything so special. Linda made sure my glass was always full and Sal and I were taken care of at the wedding. Derek also made sure everything was perfect for us on our day. He helped with bustling my dress so that my sister could enjoy the cocktail hour. We cannot thank all of the staff enough for everything that they have done for us! You went above and beyond the entire night, making sure there was always a smile on our faces. You are very professional and I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us and our family. Our guests are still talking about how much fun and how perfect everything was for that day! The venue itself is so beautiful, especially the Conservatory room, but the staff made it perfect! I am so excited for us to get all of our wedding pictures and videos back!! Thank you so much Hilton Pearl River!! You made our wedding the most perfect and flawless day and thank you for your professionalism, care, and expertise!! I cannot wait to go back for a short weekend to visit!

vide us with the best day we could have imagined. We originally planned a December 2020 wedding, but because of the pandemic, we soon realized postponing was for the best. When reaching out to the Hilton to postpone, Abbey immediately set our worries and stress aside and was so incredibly flexible with our new plans amidst an unpredictable world. She worked with us for two years to ensure our day was perfect - and she knocked it out of the park! We could not have asked for a better person to work with us. Any question I had, Abbey responded almost immediately, and she has so much attention to detail - she took care of everything we planned and decided. Not only is she professional, she is so kind and friendly! Abbey and Derek worked with us on schedule of the day and night and reviewed everything together with us prior to our day. On the day of our wedding, Abbey and Derek ensured everything went smoothly, and anything we needed, Derek took care of. They are a dream team! We have received endless of compliments from our guests - from the warm welcomes of the staff, to the comfort of the hotel, to the incredible food, to the beautiful ballroom, to the amazing service - we recommend the Hilton Pearl River no doubt. If we could do it again, we would!

My husband and I hosted our multi-cultural, Indian and American wedding celebration / vow renewal at the Hilton Pearl River on November 20, 2021, and had an incredible experience. Due the pandemic, we needed to postpone our event multiple tim...
es (we were originally scheduled for March 28, 2020), and the Hilton was extremely accommodating to all of the changes we needed to make. They remained positive, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire experience. It is easy to see from online photos how beautiful the indoor and outdoor spaces are to host an event. What you can't see from the pictures is how exemplary the staff and service are. As part of our wedding weekend, we had lunch, Baraat, ceremony, hospitality rooms, reception, breakfast, and a hotel block for the whole weekend. We had over 200 guests in attendance. Even with the complexity and full weekend of events we had planned, the Hilton staff helped us to plan and execute all of our events flawlessly with an incredible attention to detail. With their experience in large scale, multi-cultural weddings, they were able to anticipate needs we didn't even know we had. I can't say enough good things about working with Abbey on all of the planning and coordination. She was incredibly organized, accommodated all of our needs, and had great insights that helped us plan our events. Derek, the maitre d', helped with the logistics and ensuring that everything ran smoothly that day. During the events, the entire staff did a great job with service. Special shout out to the bridal attendant, Linda, who took great care of us while we were running around that day. We had to make a lot of decisions during the wedding planning process, and choosing the Hilton Pearl River as our venue was one of the best decisions we made.

Words can’t begin to describe how amazing our venue was. Being a covid bride and having to postpone was stressful enough but they made it so easy. Jamie, our event coordinator just simply took our date and moved it exactly a year with no extra ...
charges and no issues at all. They were even offering to refund us if we decided to cancel which is more than I could have asked for. Leading up Derek our maitre d was so great in answering any questions and he made our day run seamless and if there were any issues we didn’t know about them. Abbey and Gerry are also event coordinators there and we’re always there to greet us and help in anything we needed whenever we visited. The cocktail hour is incredible and the food itself is all people could talk about. They go above your regular wedding food and make it something special. We were under our limit due to the pandemic and they didn’t charge us for our minimum and we’re so accommodating to all our guests needs. Our guests keep saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I owe that to Jamie and Derek and my amazing bridal attendant Linda. She brought me drinks and helped with my veil and anything I needed during pictures on our warm day. She truly kept me sane during our many hours of pictures and made sure our family and bridal party had water and drinks the whole time. You are in incredible hands when booking and the whole team just makes it so stress free and make you feel like family.

ay so special. We finally were able to have the wedding last weekend and it was an absolute magical and perfect day. It was genuinely a dream come true. From the rooms to get ready in, people at the front desk, ceremony room, ketubah room, cocktail hour area and ballroom, the venue was a dream and so stunning. 100/10 would recommend HPR for your wedding. As for staff—everyone was lovely and so helpful. To name a few—Jamie who was our go to person from the start. She is so personable, genuine, and helpful and we are lucky to have had her there for us. Derek who was there on our wedding day and could not have been more helpful and kind. He even ran to get safety pins when my dress bustle wouldn’t stay up! Pat who was just an angel the whole time. She was always there to help, ran to get water and cookies when I got hungry during photos haha and made up our bridal suite into a beautiful oasis. I wish we could go back and do the day all over again. Also we had breakfast there the next day and it was so yummy and nice. We relaxed with family and friends and had great food. Evelyn was an amazing help and boxed up leftover scones for me!

dream to work with. She made sure we had everything in place and running smoothly from the start. Going into the beginning of the wedding planning process, I told Jamie that I was very simple and easy-going. I didn't have every detail planned, I wasn't sure exactly what I needed, and I had no clue where to start. She assured me that everything would be perfect, and that my wedding should reflect us as a couple. Our guests could not believe how amazing the staff at the HPR were and raved about how beautiful everything was. The HPR went above and beyond in taking my simplistic decor and turning it into something beautiful. The day of the wedding, I never had to stop and think about anything because it was already done! From bringing breakfast to the girls getting ready in the morning, lunch for the guys, and even decorating the bridal suite with candles and rose petals, every single touch was perfect. I want to relive this day over and over! You will not be disappointed in choosing HPR!

We were able to spend 100% of the time enjoying ourselves, and living in the moment with our friends, family and each other because everything else was taken care of. From big decisions like flexibility in having our ceremony indoors or outdoors to the little things like the setup of the room after the ceremony or the bridal suite set up with candles and champagne at the end of the night, we continued to have smiles on our faces thanks to all of their work. Everything was truly flawless, perfectly executed, and made us feel so loved and special. The entire staff at the Hilton from Abbey to Gerri to all of the hotel and banquet staff, we truly felt like a part of the Hilton Pearl River family. Saying goodbye to Abbey and the Hilton on Sunday after our wedding was so hard because we truly had the most unbelievable wedding weekend with them. I could not recommend them enough!!!!! If you are considering booking your wedding at the Hilton Pearl River, look no further and book it. You will not regret it and will have the most amazing, memorable, beautiful wedding/event that exceeds your wildest dreams. Thank you to our HIlton Pearl River Family!!! We cannot wait to come back every year to celebrate our anniversary!!!

ted the hotel and was connected with Senior Events Manager Abigail Rochford who I met that afternoon. The hotel is breathtaking. Abbey was so friendly and assured me we could make this work. And so our journey with the Hilton Pearl River began. Abbey’s attention to detail is outstanding and she simplified the overwhelming process of planning for a first-time bride. The team at the Hilton Pearl River provided seamless service throughout the entire process. The Director of Catering, Gerry Burns, reviewed all of the menu options and created such a romantic tasting experience with an impressive menu. When the pandemic began in March 2020, we, along with engaged couples across the world were devastated upon learning that we too must postpone our wedding. Abbey sent the most heartfelt apology and truly expressed such compassion. I knew then I was committed to ensuring that we would see this dream come true with the Hilton Pearl River. Abbey continued to stay in touch and provided new dates as the CDC’s guidelines continued to evolve. We set our hearts on August 23, 2020. The Banquet Managers Derek Rubino and Nicole Astalos were amazing. Derek introduced himself and ensured that he would commit to a timely order of events which we reviewed in detail. Derek did not disappoint and was such a champion for timely execution throughout our special day. The Banquet Captain Kathy Feeney was spectacular. Kathy left no stone unturned and addressed so many unforeseen circumstances on the spot. Our guests raved for days afterward about how much fun they had at our wedding and how extraordinary the staff were at the Hilton. Everyone raved about how delicious the food and drinks were. The Front Desk Manager Debbie Sprenger transferred our belongings upstairs and created the most romantic presentation in our Honeymoon Suite which included candles, cake, champagne and rose petals. We were overwhelmed with the level of service we received. During our Honeymoon, I heard some heartbreaking stories of brides whose bridal experiences became compounding nightmares with the pandemic. I can say that the Hilton Pearl River staff rose above 2020’s crisis and created a wedding day we will never forget. We are forever grateful for the Hilton for making this day possible. Love won. Thank you Hilton! Warmest and fondest regards-- Johanna and Sal Pitonzo P.S. Below is a video of our special day. https://vimeo.com/452061633?ref=em-share

We just got married at the Hilton Pearl River on November 23rd, 2019 and could not be any happier with the Hotel, Staff, and everything in between. Our events coordinator was Gerry Burns (Director of Catering). Gerry is an events “lifer” and go...
es out of her way at every step to make you feel comfortable and happy. She took the stress out of planning our wedding, and we could not be more grateful to have worked with her. We were also helped by Abby Rochford (Events), Derek Rubino (Maître d'), Samantha (Waiter Captain), Linda (Bridal Attendant), Debbie (Front Desk Manager) and so many others. Each person was always smiling, and looking for a way to make our stay, and event easier and more successful. We hosted our entire wedding weekend at the Hilton Pearl River – Friday Night Rehearsal Dinner at Two Henrys, Our Wedding Ceremony, Reception, and After Party on Saturday, and also Brunch on Sunday. Each event was impressively well put together and thought out. The food was delicious at all 3 of the events, and the spaces were clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful. We had a bunch of allergies to deal with, and Gerry and the team made sure to handle each situation as if it was the most important one in the world. It made our guests feel welcome, and like they were being uniquely taken care of, and for that we are so grateful. The rooms at the Hilton Pearl River were also re-done in the last couple of years and were immaculate. From the moment that we stepped foot in the doors at the Hilton Pearl River we were treated like family, and we could not be any happier with the way our Wedding Weekend turned out. Thank you to the entire staff for making our dream a reality.

I would recommend that every single engaged couple looking for a venue choose the Hilton Pearl River. There are infinite choices to make when planning a wedding, but this was our first and easiest choice by far.

I wish I could give The Hilton Pearl River ten stars! Our October 12th wedding was perfect from beginning to end, and we could not be happier with everyone and everything at HPR. We booked about a year ago with Marisa, who ended up leaving a fe...
w months later. We then were left in the hands of Abbey, and are so thrilled we got to work with her. I feel as though I emailed Abbey every single day with another question, suggestion or idea. She was so quick to respond and help me with anything I needed. She worked directly with my parents as well for our morning after breakfast, and everything was perfect. We brought in so much stuff the week before that we needed to be set up for the wedding. Signs, photos, you name it .. and the day of, everything was exactly where I envisioned it and it all looked beautiful. We also brought in a decor company to do our seating chart and all of our sweetheart table furniture and backdrop. The HPR were more than accommodating and worked so well with all of our vendors. The food was amazing! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything at the cocktail hour was, and how amazing the dinner was. We opted for donuts and passed desserts instead of a wedding cake, and the donuts were the best I've ever had. My husband agreed and he's a cop, so he would know! The space at HPR is beautiful and has such a nice flow from the cocktail hour room to ballroom. My husband and I had our own private room for the cocktail hour, which was awesome! We walked in and all of our cocktail hour food was set up for us to sit and try, in addition to champagne and each of our signature drinks. We got to hang in there, just the two of us, and soak in that time together while getting to try everything! Then we went out and mingled with our guests without having to worry about eating as we said our hellos. It was perfect. The hotel rooms are beautiful, and all newly renovated. We went back to our suite after the after party and had a bottle of champagne, donuts, my veil and train and everything else waiting for us. It was like magic! My mom told me that there was an issue with our florist forgetting some important details about our centerpieces. When she noticed, she told Abbey who got on the phone right away to have the florist get back there to fix it. My mom is a hard person to please, and she was so grateful and amazed at how quickly and seamlessly Abbey handled it. I didn't even know about the problem until it was fixed! Derek and Nicole were our day of coordinators and they were awesome! Derek helped calm me down when I was getting a bit annoyed with some people, and I am so grateful for that. Linda was by my side from the second we got there until the very next morning. Literally, she was standing at the party bus as we got off with champagne, ready to hold my gown all night long. I kept trying to take the train from her, or hold it myself, and she wouldn't let me! I didn't even know I was going to have a 'Linda' with me all night, and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her! Every single person at HPR played a huge role in our day, and we will be forever grateful for them. My wedding was everything I dreamed from when I was a little girl, and it's all because of these people. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, a million times!

Even our guests were blown away by the service and attention the HPR provided to us on our wedding day. Oh, and the food- SO. GOOD and SO. MUCH. Plus, if there was something you wanted that wasn't on the menu, they will make it happen. We wanted to have Ribeye steaks for a dinner entree choice and we got quality, steakhouse cuts for our wedding dinner. When have you ever seen that?! On top of that, you will be working with a family run business where everyone is vested in the success of your wedding. We worked with Abbey and SHE IS THE BEST!!! Every question we had was answered quickly, throughly and with a smile. Everything she and the HPR did, impressed us more and more. Our wedding exceeded every expectation and dream we could ever have...and we could have never achieved that without the HPR.

Gerry moved the day along seamlessly and coordinated with all the vendors and bridal parties so everyone knew where to be and when. Derek worked with us and the band to move the reception along, and helped me bustle my dress and create a timeline with us. June, my bridal attendant, was a dream. During the wedding, my mother in law was really uncomfortable from her shoes so the staff helped to get her a pair of insoles so she could be comfortable the rest of the night. At the end of the wedding night, we came up to our room at 4am and found a bottle of champagne, plates of desserts, our wedding cake, and all our belongings in our bridal suite. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and how experienced they are at handling large wedding with specific needs, like our kosher wedding. The venue was perfect for New Years since we were able to use a room for our afterparty and guests could go to bed whenever they wanted.

Many venues don’t have a great option for indoor ceremonies, so this was one of the things that set the Hilton Pearl River apart for us.

It's really helpful to have so many different rooms to use and re-purposed throughout the evening (Normandy for hair and makeup, complete with mirrors and makeup chairs) and later for the afterparty; the Conservatory for cocktails and the next day, brunch; the garden room for the bride's welcome, etc.) which gave a feeling of spaciousness and ease. The entire staff was unbelievably attentive and accommodating, pleasant, friendly, and helpful. I can't say enough great things about the Pearl River Hilton. Just do it!

I got married last Saturday at the Hilton Pearl River and its taken me a week to think about how I can even begin to describe my INCREDIBLE experience. I started the journey with walking in for a tour with Marissa, who is now my FRIEND and one ...
of the sweetest people ever. She answered any question or concern I had so fast and with so much attention to detail. Over a year of planning and I felt so confident that every detail of our wedding day would go on without a hitch. Well I was right!! My wedding weekend came, and every single thing was perfection. The front desk accommodating all of my guests, the rehearsal, the morning of the wedding and the ceremony and reception were more than i could have ever asked for. Marissa was with me the entire planning process and the day before the wedding I met Derek, who was the maitre d and was so on top of everything and also just as amazing as Marissa, which i didn't even think was possible. Those two kept us organized and calm the entire day, its almost like they knew what we needed before we even had to ask. Take it from someone who weighed all of the pros and cons to wedding venues, I could not find one con. You are under one roof for EVERYTHING, it truly makes a difference and makes the most time out of your day. I wish I could relive my wedding day at the Hilton Peal River everyday and I am so sad its over. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who helped us......oh did i mention the food was amazing? THAT TOO!

The catering/events team provided terrific guidance and were there every step of the way. (Sometimes literally--they must not sleep on weekends!) Lastly, the food was delicious and loved by all. Relatives have been talking about it for weeks. The Hilton provides A LOT in the standard wedding package and they were very accommodating of guests' dietary needs.

Gerry and Derek worked with us through all of the details weeks prior. They were also great for giving advice on how the day should be run, etc. Our wedding guests are still talking about how great the wedding was and how delicious the food was. The cocktail hour food was delicious and had everything from rack of lamb, raw seafood far, several stations and passed food. Dinner was a four course meal and the guests had the a choice of 3 entrees, not including gluten free and vegan (which is almost impossible to find anywhere else). Following the ceremony, my husband and I were taken to a room where they had a candle light dinner and sampling of almost all of the cocktail hour food to make sure we ate and enjoyed our food. Overall, Gerry, Derek and the rest of the Hilton staff really went out of their way to make our wedding weekend special. Since many of our guests stayed in the hotel for one or 2 nights, the Hilton was able to assist us in planning light breakfasts and a mini after party following the wedding. My husband and I are truly lucky that we found this venue and were able to work with great people. We worked so closely with Gerry and Derek during the course of wedding planning that they felt like part of the family!

on such positive reviews. When we first walked into the conservatory, possibly one of the most beautiful spaces we have seen in any wedding venue, we automatically knew that we needed to get married here. We met with Gerry Burns who is incredibly sweet, funny, and professional - she was always available and I am positive that our wedding would not have been as incredible had it not been for her help. Aside from Gerry, Derek Rubino and Jacqueline Rochford met with us twice before the wedding to go over a schedule for the day, review final details, and coordinate their schedules with our vendors'. On our wedding day, Gerry, Derek and Jacqueline's hard work was very evident - we just had to get dressed and show up for our ceremony since every detail had been worked out. We truly enjoyed our wedding and it is really all thanks to the efforts of everyone at the Hilton. As if the people and the beautiful spaces at the Hilton were not enough, the food was amazing and abundant. Our guests have been raving about the food (a few guests told us that their entrees were the best wedding food they have ever eaten) and the cocktail hour impressed even the most critical members of our two large Italian families. We had so much choice in our menu and we got to work with the chef to create combinations to suit our taste. The food, the people, and the hotel itself all made our wedding so much better than we could have imagined. As a gay couple, we went into wedding planning with some hesitation, but everyone at the Hilton Pearl River treated our wedding like it was their own and never made it feel any less special because there wasn't a bride. p.s.

River Hilton. Gerry Burns, Derek Rubino, Jacqueline Rochford and their team went above and beyond to accommodate all of our wishes for the wedding. Venue: The building is gorgeous, especially the lawn where we had our ceremony. The ballroom is beautiful and spacious, and the room where we had our cocktail hour (painted ceiling) is beautiful. It looks like a French Chateau from the outside and really photographs well. It does NOT look like a typical Hilton. There are two great spots for a first look - the lawn or the water fountain out front. Food: The food was absolutely delicious and we received endless compliments on how great the food was (and how much there was - we wanted a big cocktail hour spread). We made it a point to eat at the wedding because the food was just so good. Gerry helped us find ways to save on costs by getting creative with our menu, which was a huge help. The wedding cake from A Little Cake (included when you book with Pearl River) was hands down the best we have ever had. Our snobby foodie friends asked for second and thirds! Throughout the entire process, we never once felt pressured or felt that there was an "up-sell." Everything was included in the price, which turned out to be a really good value. Gerry and her team: The team was so great that they actually moved our entire ceremony from indoors to outdoors just two hours before starting time - just because we asked them to! They had a crew of people mobilize to make this happen, which was incredibly accommodating. Derek Rubino is such a great day-of coordinator - he took care of everything and we knew we were in good hands. He even bustled my dress right before the reception because my sister did it wrong! They were cool, calm and collected at all times, which was REALLY important as a bride on the day of the wedding. All of our vendors had worked at the Pearl River Hilton before and only had great things to say. Everyone loves Gerry and her team, everyone!

The food was also excellent - everyone loved the cocktail hour, and the dinner was delicious. There is a large variety of food options that you can select from when planning your meal. In general, I can't say enough good things and would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married.

I am forever grateful to all the staff at the Hilton Pearl River for making my wedding the most perfect day. Although I was confident that everything would go well from what I had heard from other brides, I can honestly say my expectations were...
exceeded from start to finish. Paulette was a pleasure to work with from day one, and she made the entire planning process as low stress as possible. On our wedding day, each and every staff member worked tirelessly to ensure both my husband and I were enjoying ourselves and that everything was perfect. I am so happy I stumbled upon this venue in my search, I cannot say thank you enough for giving me the wedding of my dreams!!

essly. I was toying with hiring a day of wedding coordinator, but I didn't and was glad because the Hilton staff were on top of everything. They made sure that the plan for the day went over flawlessly. Every little detail was taken care of (they even left plates of food in our bridal suite after the reception was over so we could eat some more of the food from the dinner as well as cake an champagne). We LOVED this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a venue that really knows what it is doing.

We just had the most wonderful experience here. It was a Sunday afternoon wedding and many guests came from out of town so we did a family weekend together before the wedding. Gerry Burns and her staff couldn't have been more accommodating, hel...
pful and professional. We had beautiful rooms for gathering, for weekend meals, for hair and makeup. The Conservatory Room is the prettiest place to have a small reception or service. The service for all meals, including a wedding dinner for 280 was the best I have ever seen at a hotel function. It was seemless and perfect. We were lucky to have Megan, Meryl and Abby assigned to us for the weekend, but I have no doubt the entire staff is also wonderful. Every person I encountered knew how to put "service" in the term "service industry." Each employee was cheerful, professional, hard working (but making it look easy), and helpful, making us feel like VIPs all weekend. This is a Hilton but it had the feel of a classy boutique hotel and a family business at the same time. You cant go wrong here. It's worth the short trip from NYC to have this beautiful venue and the service you get here.

I got married at the Pearl River Hilton back in April. We had 180 guests and our wedding was on a Friday night. This place is phenomenal and if you're looking for a venue you should run, not walk, to book here. When we first started lookin...
g a venues, I was initially pretty discouraged. It seemed impossible to find a venue that was any bit unique that either didn't cost a bajillion dollars or wasn't just a raw space that required you to rent every thing that you needed to bring into it. The PR Hilton met and handled these concerns for us for a few reasons. First, the hotel is nicely decorated. It doesn't have tacky finishes, it's not like every Hilton you've ever been to. It's tastefully and elegantly done and there's nothing gaudy about it. Second, while the price is on the higher side on the spectrum of venues in the Rockland County area, EVERY SINGLE THING is handled for you. I was in school and working as I planned my wedding so I truly did not have heaps of free time. Paulette met with us on what we wanted, kept us on a schedule, delivered on everything she promised. She was prompt in responding to emails, gave us people to contact in the alternative if she was going to be out of the office. The price they quote you covers A TON of food. Our guests could not believe the amount of food at the cocktail hour, they all said it was phenomenal but they still cleaned their plates at dinner because the entrees were that good as well. We went with a Mac n cheese bar, a slider bar, and Italian station, and a carving station at the cocktail hour in addition to the passed hors d'eurves. They secured a private room for my husband and I to because to enjoy some of the cocktail hour and it was all great. Third, the service the day of our wedding was awesome. Derek the maitre'd and Megan my bridal attendant took care of everything we needed- they helped us corral family for pictures, made sure we always had beer, helped bustle my dress, and kept checking on us to make sure we were cool. Finally, when you book a wedding there they comp your room and your parents rooms. Our room and our family's rooms were all great and clean and what you would expect of a Hilton. I did not hear any complaints from our guests that stayed overnight as well. This place is great and worth every penny. We were very happy with how everything turned out.

She was incredibly thoughtful and shared her ideas and suggestions. Prior to our wedding, we met with the Maître’d, Derek Rubino. Derek was absolutely awesome and helped to make sure the day ran as smooth as it did. We had no worries the day of, our minds were at total ease, Gerry and Derek had everything taken care of. The food was amazing- our friends are still raving about the cocktail hour selections and that it was simply the best cocktail hour they have ever been to!

ntly with us every step of the way. She knew what type of party we wanted and did an excellent job executing our vision. She was very accessible and was very helpful answering all our questions. The week before our wedding reception, she made sure we had everything we needed and accounted for every detail. We were able to negotiate a discounted hotel rate with their sales manager. But, the hotel rates fluctuated quite a bit in the months leading up to our reception, so make sure to keep an eye on the rate in case it needs to be properly adjusted. The maître d', Derek, was fantastic. He had excellent taste, talked us through the reception day and put the final touches on our event. On the night of our event, he was taking care of everything. We had a few guests surprise us by coming to our event, and he arranged for their table placements and made the whole night seamless. The staff at the hotel was absolutely incredible. They made sure our families had everything we needed. Our friends and family had drinks brought to them quickly. We arranged for family style seating during dinner instead of a buffet, and the staff was very efficient in bringing all the dishes to the table quickly. They even stored our wedding cake in their freezer for a few weeks until we could pick it up. We highly recommend anyone to have an event at Pearl River Hilton. You will be in excellent hands!

y the long weekend. We knew from the first moment we looked at the Hilton Pearl River that this would be where we got married, and the event surpassed our lofty expectations. What first stood out to us about the Hilton Pearl River is the wonderful staff. Paulette Scattassa, senior catering manager, was our point person for planning the ceremony and reception. Paulette exudes warmth and professionalism, is detail-oriented and very accommodating. She was an integral part in helping us plan our dream wedding. Maitre'd Derek Rubino and his staff were flat out impressive. The morning after the wedding, our guests were raving about the service, that’s how good they were. The event ran seamlessly and Derek made sure that my wife and I were well taken care of throughout. The romantic Chateaux-style hotel and the picturesque grounds provided a terrific backdrop for photographs and for the ceremony, which was held outside in the rear lawn area during a beautiful day. The food at the cocktail hour and reception was impeccably presented, delicious, and plentiful! We give the highest recommendation for the Hilton Pearl River and commend their staff for helping us put together the best day of our lives!

Gerry, we knew we were in good hands. This was our first wedding and Gerry explained every detail along the way. She answered every call and every email with confidence and recognition that we were in good hands. She of course was correct. As disappointing it was to realize we were not going to have the ceremony outside due to rain..it was Gerry who suggested the amber up lighting to make the inside room special( of course she was right again). This is only one example of her knowledge, wisdom and great eye. Derek and team were wonderful as well the day of the wedding. Derek was so attentive to details and once again we knew we were well taken care of. Derek even was on his hands and knees helping my daughter bustle her gown. He obviously knew what he was doing and we were glad we was there. Derek also was so response to countless emails about small details and sent updated lists. So with all this said... I would recommend your establishment and top notch team without hesitation. We did get rave reviews from guest that the food was fabulous and the venue was great!

commodate my wedding party of 370 people. There was plenty of room and space for all of the different aspects of the day including but not limited to; getting ready space, cocktail hour, ceremony, reception, after party etc.. My immediate family stayed at the hotel the night before and from the time we stepped into the hotel, Gerry and her team was super accommodating and were there to help with anything we needed. That assistance surely continued on the day of when I had all the help, support and attention necessary from the Pearl River staff (Derek, Abbey, Liam and Maeve just to name a few). They were super warm, friendly and real easy to count on. There is a certain family vibe at this Hilton and me and my family ate that up! We planned for our ceremony to be outside but due to weather that changed and the room we got married in ended up being beautiful! It was warm, inviting and the sound was great too. One big requirement for our party was a big enough dance floor and all of my guests definitely had the room to groove that we needed which was excellent. All in all, we were super pleased with the Hilton Pearl River. I couldn't imagine having my special day anywhere else! Thank you!
