Hilton Pearl River

We stayed at Hilton Pearl River the night before and the night of our wedding. Our venue was only a 15 minute drive away so it was close by. This is an absolutely beautiful hotel and in such a beautiful area. The drive to get here in the fall is absolutely breathtaking with the leaves changing colors. They are very organized and did a great job with handing out our guest bags to our guests. The bar is also great and is open until 4am. We had a great time here after our wedding! I would love to stay at this hotel again!

From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. The planning process was seamless, thanks to Derek, Gerry and her entire team, who was incredibly attentive and organized. They took the time to understand our vision and ensured every detail was perfect. The communication leading up to the day was clear and reassuring, which made us feel at ease. Many of our guests stayed at the hotel the night of the wedding and before and the entire process was without flaw. This was the ideal venue for our wedding. From food to accommodations, everything was perfect! If you were like me looking for reassurance to book this venue look no further!

Where to begin….. my husband and I went to a wedding at Hilton Pearl River (HPR) during extensive COVID times (2021) where there was still some strict requirements. Since then we’ve gone to 15+ weddings and HPR was still our absolute favorite venue and we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. We worked with Gerry and had our wedding 9/13/24. From the start, Gerry was ABSOLUTELY amazing. She made us feel so comfortable, she honestly felt like family. We held everything at HPR. It was very important to us to have an “all-in-one” place and our guests have been raving about the weekend nonstop. They showed up Thursday afternoon for rehearsal and didn’t leave until Saturday afternoon. We held the ceremony, reception, after-party and even a beautiful private brunch the next day for guests!! You will not find a more beautiful venue with great food and incredible staff for a reasonable price anywhere else. Every single staff member we dealt with was outstanding. My day-of assigned coordinator Derek, the maitre de’s Kimberly and others, the afterparty bartender Deams (kept the party going, had guests singing karaoke), the hotel room coordinators (we had 80+ rooms booked!!) The answer was never no, they always found a way to make things work. Our day ran so smoothly, essentially all we had to do was show up. A process that can be extremely stressful felt effortless with HPR. We cannot thank Gerry and the HPR team enough. It was the best weekend ever. Future brides…… book with them!

Frankly, we almost didn't look at Hilton-Pearl River for our son's recent wedding because we felt it was out of our reach. I'm thrilled that I called Gerry, who managed the event as if it were her own child's wedding. The Hilton presents an awe-inspiring venue for a wedding, but Gerry and her staff were what made this event flow so smoothly. Their attention to detail and to doing everything with courtesy and a smile were unlike anything I have experienced at other venues. We felt the warmth, from the front-desk attendants to those attending to the Monday-morning brunch. Anything that we needed was taken care of immediately, courteously and efficiently. We were made to feel like royalty, not only during the event, but during our entire stay, including checkout. On top of all that, the cost for our 225 person wedding at Hilton-Pearl River was much more reasonable than many other venues we investigated. I wholeheartedly recommend every aspect of Hilton-Pearl River for anyone who is looking. If you have any concerns that it may not work, talk with Gerry; you won't regret it!

The Pearl River Hilton is absolutely the best! The Hilton team is so warm and accommodating, and Gerry and her team make sure that everything is taken care of. We were inside because of rain, but the indoor space (the cloud room) was stunning, and everything ran extremely smoothly and flawlessly. Cannot recommend them enough.

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Hilton Pearl River in Pearl River, NY, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From start to finish, the venue and its staff exceeded our expectations in every way! First, the location is stunning. The Hilton Pearl River is often referred to as "The Chateau in the Country near the City," and it certainly lives up to that name. The picturesque grounds and elegant architecture provided a beautiful backdrop for our special day, making our photos look like they were straight out of a fairy tale. The staff at the Hilton Pearl River were exceptional! From our initial tour of the venue to the big day itself, everyone was incredibly professional, attentive, and accommodating. Our wedding coordinator, Gerry, was incredible to work with! She made sure every detail of our big day was perfect. She was kind, understanding, accommodating, and truly the best at her craft! Derek, the banquet manager, was exceptional. He paid attention to the finer details of our day, which took so much stress off of us. He was such a pleasure to have around us on our wedding day! Gerry and Derek are the absolute dream team of the wedding industry! We were honored to have met and worked with them, and consider them dear friends after the wedding. Kimberly, my bridal attendant, was impeccable and the sweetest soul! Half the day/night I didn’t realize she was behind me holding my train, fixing my bustle, or giving me a drink. She was attentive to not only me, but my entirely bridal party. The entire team’s experience and dedication at the Hilton Pearl River were evident, and we truly could not be more grateful for each and every one of them. The facilities at the Hilton Pearl River are top-notch. The bridal suite was spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect space for us to prepare and relax before the ceremony. The reception hall was beautifully decorated, and the layout worked perfectly for our guest count. The food was another highlight—delicious, beautifully presented, and received rave reviews from all our guests. The culinary team did an outstanding job with our menu selections, and the service was impeccable throughout the evening. In addition to the beautiful venue and excellent service, the Hilton Pearl River also offers convenient accommodations for guests. Having our loved ones stay on-site was a major plus, and everyone appreciated the comfort and quality of the rooms. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our choice of the Hilton Pearl River for our wedding! It was a magical day, and we owe much of that to the incredible team and stunning venue. We highly recommend the Hilton Pearl River to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-organized, and memorable wedding experience!

The Hilton Pearl River is the best wedding venue in the Lower Hudson Valley without a doubt. We got married here in June 2024 From the stunning grounds and ballroom which make for the perfect pictures, to the incredibly cooked and presented food during cocktail hour, dinner and dessert, to the thoughtful and professional staff…everyone will leave your wedding wanting more! Their cocktail hour is the best around - don’t forget to tell your friends and family to arrive hungry and thirsty. Working with Gerry (Director or Catering) and Derek (Banquet Manager) was a dream come true. From the moment you book, Gerry is your go-to for all details leading up to the event. And then Derek joins forces as the day gets closer to finalize all day-of details. We didn’t hire a wedding planner as it truly wasn’t necessary with the two of them. You will not get a more experienced duo and venue staff elsewhere. I also worked with Trish and Jacqueline, the reservations and sales managers, for our room block. We had a large number of guests traveling from out of town, ending up with 55+ rooms in our block the night of our wedding. They were so easy to work and so helpful from the time we booked our wedding. Keep in mind that the hotel is the most popular in the area so it does fill up especially on weekends - I recommend blocking the max number of rooms you think you need for your group in advance, as it’s not guaranteed you will be able to add more at a later date. The rooms themselves are very clean and up to current standards - our guests were very pleased. My husband and I were given a complimentary Executive King room with the Parlor room attached - plenty of space for getting ready and more! Book now, you will not regret it!

My daughter’s wedding at the Pearl River Hilton was absolutely wonderful. Not only was the ceremony beautiful but the reception was even better. I cannot thank the Hilton team enough for all of the help and assistance through the planning process and on the wedding day. They were the most supportive and helpful group I have ever encountered. I have to give a special thank you to Abbey as she made the whole process seamless and special!!

We just had our wedding at Pearl River Hilton and it was fantastic!!! Abbey and Sloane were our coordinators. The venue was perfect for us because we hosted multiple events and needed a large block for guests. It is spacious, has a great flow yet still maintains an intimate vibe. They even have a restaurant in the hotel which has great food and where we hosted an afterparty. We worked for many months on all of the details with Abbey and Sloane. Incredible is an understatement to describe Abbey and Sloane - they are super responsive, professional, very knowledgeable, had great relationships with our vendors and just wonderful people to work with. They really are invested in making sure everything goes well. They went above and beyond to try to make whatever we wanted happen. They made our lives easier with the planning process on so many different levels. On top of that the hospitality and service of the entire hotel is incredible - everyone is so nice, eager to help and make sure you have a great experience. Even my guests and family commented how great the staff/hotel was. They also did a great job taking care of us during the wedding. They checked in on us frequently, helped us with anything we needed and brought us food/desserts, etc. I love iced lattes and Sloane went out early in the morning on my wedding day and made sure I had them stored away in case I wanted them. They are so thoughtful. I really can't recommend this venue enough.

We just had our wedding at the Hilton and it was absolutely perfect. Every detail from beginning to end was executed perfectly. Gerry Burns, Director of Catering, a dream to work. Jacqueline Rochford, Sales Manager and Trish Emersley, Reservations Manager made our room block so easy for us and our guests and they even extended it when needed. Derek Rubino, Banquet Manager, Kelly, Asst. Banquet Manager and Kimberly, the bride and groom attendant made our wedding day stress-free and enjoyable. They made sure to go over key details with us without causing any issues, were with us every step of the way to ensure we were taken care of and at the end of the night we found our dinner desserts and cake waiting for us along with candles and rose petals in our entire room. Truly special! Another special shout out to Diems, the lobby bartender. He set up karakoe and served our guests drinks until late giving us a truly memorable after party. Moreover, the entire Hilton Pearl River team including the front desk, bellmen, waitstaff and back of house, especially the kitchen, were fantastic. Our guests were raving about the food and drink. It was all so delicious. If you live in Manhattan like us and have family ties to Pearl River or your local your best wedding venue option is The Hilton Pearl River. I worked many years in hospitality, including hotels and this venue knows what they're doing. Thank you again Hilton Pearl River. We'll never forget it.

Choosing the Hilton Pearl River was the best decision we made. The level of service is well above any other wedding venue or hotel and I would highly recommend them to anyone!! The space itself is huge, and they are very flexible with how you can use it. The beautiful back lawn area is gorgeous for an outdoor ceremony - we didn't get to use it due to rain on our wedding day, but it's so beautiful and well kept. It feels like a chateau/boutique hotel and has such character. The staff is also incredible - we mainly worked with Abbey who is outstanding and gave us advice throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding unfortunately she was sick, but her mom Gerry stepped in to lead our day and picked things up seamlessly. The food is also amazing and we heard nothing but rave reviews from all our guests about how much they enjoyed it. All in all, I cannot recommend this venue enough!!!

My husband and I held our wedding reception at the Pearl River Hilton during Labor Day weekend...and month's later our guests are still raving about how much of a good time they had! The staff truly makes you feel like family. A number of our guests came to stay at the hotel from out of town. It was extremely convenient for guests to stay in the same place as the reception! Abbey was truly the best wedding coordinator! It was an amazing experience to work with her. It was an extremely busy weekend at the hotel. Yet, on the day of my wedding it was completely stress free. We did a majority of the decor ourselves and we were able to drop off all the decor we had days earlier. The staff basically set everything up for us! We gave them instructions how we wanted everything laid out and they could not of been more accommodating. I highly recommend getting married here. It was truly the best day and the best place for a wedding reception.

I cannot emphasize enough how AMAZING the team is at the Pearl River Hilton! My husband and I were married here in June 2023 and our wedding was unbelievable! We toured so many venues where we felt like the day was quite prescribed and inflexible---the opposite is true of a wedding at the Pearl River Hilton! The team here goes above and beyond to make the day special in every way! We worked for the first 8 or 9 months with Jamie who we absolutely LOVED before she left for another opportunity. We were so sad and nervous to work with someone else for the six months leading up to the wedding because of how awesome Jamie is--until we met Abbey!! She and Jamie made sure the transition went off without a hitch and we felt like we won the jackpot to be able to work with them both!! Not only were Jamie and Abbey so helpful and accommodating to our millions of questions, but we felt so lucky to be able to trust their recommendations with music, layouts, flowers, everything. I cannot say enough about the team here--they are simply the best. To top it off, Jamie sent flowers and came to see us on our wedding day--that's how much of a family and special this team is!!! Shout out to Trish who also put up with our endless room block emails, Derek who helped run the show on our big day, and to Linda who was the BEST attendant to have with me all day! The food was delicious (our guests rave about it), the space is gorgeous (we switched our cocktail hour to the Conservatory and breakfast to Le Jardin because of the weather) and I really cannot imagine it any other way! The getting ready areas are perfect, and the hotel rooms are newly renovated. Lastly, the grounds are GORGEOUS for photos--truly so many amazing backgrounds and options for beautiful photos. From one bride to another---have your wedding here--it is the BEST!!! THANK YOU PRH team!!

My Husband and I got married at the Hilton Pearl River in September 2023 and had the absolute wedding of our dreams!! We held two nights of events at the venue, a Sangeet and Wedding Reception. The staff was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable of the two cultures we were celebrating and truly made the wedding planning process enjoyable. They were beyond helpful in recommending vendors, scheduling timelines and were always available to talk through our wedding visions. The event managers, Gerry and Abbey, went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. They even came to the church to assist with the wedding ceremony when the church coordinator fell through last minute. Everyone at the Hilton was so welcoming and truly made us feel cared for! We continue to receive compliments from our guests of how much they enjoyed our wedding. Everyone was so impressed by the ballroom's elegance and complimented every detail from how delicious the food was to the friendliness of the bartenders. There is not a detail that goes unnoticed by the incredible staff! After hosting two events at the Hilton Pearl River and attending two other weddings there as guests, we can genuinely say this is a magical venue. We cannot recommend them enough and are so pleased with our decision to have our Sangeet and Wedding Reception there.

We can't say enough good things about our experience for our wedding at the Hilton Pearl River!! From our first visit at the venue to our wedding day, everything was absolutely seamless. The entire team (Gerry, Derek, Linda) made sure our day was exactly how we envisioned it and more. We can't thank them all enough for making our wedding the greatest day of our lives. Guest are still raving about the amazing food from cocktail hour to main entrees. I 10000% recommend this venue to any newly engaged couples, as you will not regret it!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing the Hilton Pearl River is! We had our wedding September 23 (a major storm all weekend) and you would never know! The space inside is just as beautiful as the outside. Abbey and her entire team were so accommodating and helpful the entire way. Everything is in one place so guests don’t need to go back and forth from place to place. 100/10 and cannot recommend enough!

I got married at the Hilton on May 6, 2023. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough as a one-stop, destination wedding weekend experience. My husband and I have large families, and we wanted a gorgeous, timeless venue where guests could relax, eat, drink and have a blast for the entire weekend. The Hilton went well beyond our expectations - from bustling my dress to redecorating for brunch - with extra thought and attention to detail applied at every turn. We continue to hear weekly that our wedding was one of the best guests have ever been to. Thank you so very much to Gerry, Derek, and the rest of the staff who worked so tirelessly to bring our vision to life.

My husband and I could not have dreamt of a more perfect wedding than what we had at the Hilton Pearl River back in August 2023. From the staff to the amenities and every factor in between, we could not have asked for a better experience. We worked with Abigail from start to finish, and are indebted to her for making our planning process entirely stress free. Could not recommend the Hilton Pearl River more! We are SO thankful to have celebrated there!

My Wife and I got married at the Pearl River Hilton on May 27, 2023. I don’t think any review could cover how thrilled and happy we were with the experience, but here is my brief attempt to cover the day from our point of view. To say the service was world class is an understatement. When we started looking for a wedding venue, the first concern in my mind was finding a wedding that 1). Could accommodate a large guest count but 2). Still function independently as a wonderful and convenient hotel for all of our out of town guests. For context, our wedding was a truly unique challenge in terms of planning and logistics. I’m originally from the Northern New Jersey area and my wife is from a suburb of Chicago and we live together in Illinois. For two years, we had to remotely plan a large wedding with a contingent of out of town guests. This is truly the value of the Pearl River Hilton- they are a “one stop shop” solution that functions seamlessly across all departments and provides unbelievable service in nearly every area they cover. Looking back on our wedding, what struck me most about the Pearl River Hilton as a venue was the attention to detail in nearly every aspect of the day they handled. From the hotel guest experience, to the wedding facilities that day, I was truly blown away by the resources, amount of staff, services and flexibility that the venue offered. Lastly, I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention Abbey Rochford. Abbey was our wedding coordinator for the duration of our wedding planning journey and I’ll never forget how smoothly things went working with her. Abbey is not only incredibly competent in the role, but possesses a real acumen from a customer service perspective for understanding the needs of a client. I cannot picture having had our wedding at any other venue. The Pearl River Hilton not only delivered on our requirements, but exceeded our expectations the day of our wedding. I can’t picture our wedding having taken place anywhere else and we are truly grateful to Abbey and her team for having pulled off the memory of a lifetime flawlessly.

We had a Sip and See Party to welcome our baby daughter on 10/1/23. It was such a beautiful event, and we were so happy to have it at Hilton Pearl River, as my wife and I were married there on 9/23/16. For both events we worked with Gerry. She is the absolute best! She is so sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is perfect, and it most definitely was. As well, all of the people that worked the day of the party were nice, friendly and accommodating. We were so happy to be able to have this party here where we were married. It meant so much to us. We highly recommend using Hilton Pearl River for your wedding and/or any event. You will not be disappointed. We hope to have more parties here.

We had our wedding at the Hilton Pearl River in December 2023 and were completely blown away by every aspect of the weekend. Every single staff member we worked with was SO kind, while seamlessly ensuring that everything was going as we had planned. Gerry, Abbey, Derek, and every attendant and server were all an absolute pleasure to work with, and again, just so nice! They were patient with any questions we had, and every recommendation they gave was perfect. They did so much behind the scenes, that we truly felt we could enjoy the wedding without a worry. The hotel is gorgeous, the rooms are clean and elegant, and all of our guests were impressed. We are so grateful!

We cannot give enough praise regarding the Hilton Pearl River. We hosted our daughters wedding there on Oct 14, 2023. The staff was excellent. From the planning stages, through the day of, we could not have asked for more. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was and how good the food was. it was a rainy day, so the ceremony had to be held indoors. But the Conservatory is such a beautiful room, that there are no regrets regarding the rain. We also loved the fact that so many guests booked rooms at the hotel. It made for a very fun evening with an after party at the bar. Everyone loved the breakfast the next day too. 5 stars just aren't enough to express how we feel about our experience at HPR.

To start off this review, I want to point out that my wife and I got married yesterday at Hilton Pearl River. The reason I wanted to include that is simply because I want you to know how important it was to us that we give them the credit they deserve. Each member of their incredible staff ensured our entire weekend was perfect from start to finish. We found ourselves in awe of the attention to detail they provided in things the two of us would have never even thought of. From the very first day we met with Abbey we knew we were in the best of hands. She answered every question we had (and there were many!) and we had full faith and trust in anything she said. Our wedding and rehearsal dinner took place at the hotel and I can confidently say it was the best decision to do so. Both of our parents could not stop talking about how wonderful it was to work with Abbey. In fact, we talked about her so much that some friends and family were coming up to us saying “Who is this famous Abbey?”. The food served at the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and wedding was nothing short of impeccable and delicious. So many people were coming up to us saying how they had never been to a wedding with so much food that just tasted so good. Speaking of food, this would be a great time to shoutout another incredible member of the staff, Derek. Anyone who has had a wedding will say “You never have time to eat at your own wedding!”. However, we must be the anomaly. During our reception we were running all over the place to each table to thank them for being there when Derek came up to us and said, “You’re coming with me. I just need the two of you to have a little more to eat and you can go right back out there!”. It was the most important thing anyone did for us all night and we are so thankful for him for that. This just goes to show the care the staff has for you at Hilton Pearl River. No review could possibly be complete without acknowledging the outstanding bridal attendant, Linda. I truthfully don’t know if there are words to describe how wonderful she is, but I will certainly try. The best way I can think of is to share a quick story that tells you all you need to know. During our first look, I (the groom) was standing outside on the bridge. Though I didn’t know it at the time, my bride was on her way and Linda had run up to the bridge to remove some bundles of sticks to ensure the bride didn’t step on anything and that there was nothing interfering with our photo opportunity. She even ensures that you and your soon-to-be spouse have water and mints whenever you need (so thoughtful!) Another staff member that deserves every bit of recognition is Kelly. She was such an incredible help throughout our reception from teaching us how to cut the cake (which we were terrified of messing up!) to ensuring to triple-check with us that we didn’t want to take leftover churros back to our room. To any couple out there stressing about finding the perfect venue, let us make it easy for you; The Hilton Pearl River should be your only option. We did not experience one bit of stress and did not have a single second that we didn’t feel taken care of. You are in the best of hands. Every wedding is so special, but due to all of the wonderful people at the Hilton Pearl River our wedding will be a weekend we will never forget. So, to all of the staff from Charles (the bellhop in the lobby) to Abbey, thank you so much for making it happen!

I cannot properly express how incredible our wedding was at the Pearl River Hilton. Our wedding was at the end of June but from the first tour we toured the venue the staff was incredible. Gerry is one of the most kind, organized and patient people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting and working with. But truly all of the staff make the process so smooth and effortless. The Hilton thinks of you, as the individual, it makes your event feel so much more about the emotion of the moment rather than a job to be completed. The food is amazing, the locations throughout the hotel are gorgeous, the drinks are incredible. At our tasting it was genuinely difficult to limit our menu for the event. You will never regret choosing the Pearl River Hilton as a location for your wedding or special event.

We held a wedding at the Hilton Pearly River over the July 4th weekend. It is an exquisite, romantic venue with a European feel, with a multitude of indoor and outdoor space. We had cocktails for our 250 guests in a lovely glass atrium room that is filled with light, and then held the ceremony in the conservatory room with its magnificent carpeting and floor-to-ceiling windows. We originally planned to have the ceremony outdoors, and then had to move it inside because of rain, but we were still able to get fantastic first-look photos on the beautiful grounds - a wide expanse of grass with lots of trees, flowers and a picturesque wooden walking bridge - before the rain started. One of the advantages of this venue is that there are multiple spaces, giving lots of flexibility when planning an event (or needing to change plans because of weather). Also, many of our guests came from out-of-town and were able to take advantage of the steeply discounted rate for hotel rooms. One of the best features of this venue is the event coordinators – Gerry & Abbey. They are true professionals with lots of experience and a wealth of knowledge. They handled every detail expertly from start-to-finish and were consistently responsive to emails and phone calls. The wedding came off flawless - thanks to their efforts (plus an excellent caterer and florist.) Highly recommend this venue!

We cannot say enough good things about this venue! We started working with Abbey the day we toured the hotel and from that first meeting, knew this is who we wanted to trust with our wedding. Abbey was SO incredibly helpful in every single aspect and made me feel sane and heard with all of my emails and questions. Her service is truly unmatched and the best word I can use to describe her is just incredible. Along the way, we also worked with Gerry (who is amazing!) and had the best day-of staff of Derek, Kelly and Linda. Every person who works here makes you feel like the most special person on the planet during the entire planning process and on your wedding day. Every bartender, server, bellman, etc. were some of the kindest and thoughtful people we have ever met...we still have people telling us how pleasant their stay was! I would highly recommend having your wedding here. If we had to do it over again, we would choose the Hilton Pearl River in a heartbeat!

There are no words to describe how perfect and incredible the Hilton Pearl River was for our wedding. In 2011 when I was a freshman in college, I went to a family wedding here. I remember leaving that wedding and thinking "when I get married I want to get married here". Fast forward 10 years later to 2021, and my fiance and I are signing a contract for the Hilton Pearl River to host our wedding. This goes to show you how memorable a wedding here is! Throughout the wedding planning process, we were lucky enough to work with both Jamie and Gerry. Jamie and Gerry responded to my millions of questions/emails in record time, and their answer to any request was always yes. The word no is not in their vocabulary! On the actual weekend of the wedding, my family hosted a small pre-wedding gathering Friday night, the wedding on Saturday, and brunch on Sunday. Every event throughout the weekend ran on time and was carried out to perfection. Gerry was on site on the day of my wedding, and after the wedding many members of the bridal party told me that when they needed something on the wedding day but didn't want to bother me, Gerry was right there to help them. I really think Gerry must clone herself because so many people told me that she helped them on the wedding day, and I do not know how one person can do it all. Thank you Gerry- you truly are incredible! It has been a month since the wedding and all of our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful, efficient, and relaxing our wedding was. Leading up to the wedding day, everyone told me to expect something to go wrong. However, not a single thing went wrong on the big day, and I truly credit that all to Gerry, Jamie, Linda, Derek, and the entire Hilton Pearl River team. Do yourself a favor and book your wedding here!

Booking our June 2022 wedding at the Hilton Pearl River was the best decision we could have possibly made, and I can’t recommend them enough! We did a LOT of research before choosing our venue. Our dream venue had rooms on-site to make life easier and more comfortable for our guests, outdoor spaces for cocktail hour, plenty of room for a 200+ person wedding, great food, a bridal attendant included, and friendly, accommodating staff. This ended up being a very tall order – especially having hotel rooms on site but also enough space for a large wedding! Finding the Hilton Pearl River felt like a miracle. They’re a true family business, and you feel that every step of the way. They were incredibly easy to work with. I didn’t need to hire a wedding planner, because Abbey and her team were always so on top of everything! They told us the entire space would be ours for the weekend and that we could use any room we liked and move furniture however we wanted. It was incredible! We felt so right at home, without any of the snobby attitudes of other venues. We looked at other venues that had multiple weddings happening at once, and the experience at Hilton Pearl River was so much more personalized and special. They’re so flexible, show genuine excitement about every idea, and are always available to brainstorm or help customize the experience to make it just right. They truly made us feel like family. They also had such nice details included in their base price – like fun cocktail hour options (for instance, adult snow cones or a martini bar!), an incredibly extensive cocktail hour and reception menu, and complimentary rooms for the bride/groom AND our parents (and wow, that bridal suite was STUNNING!) – and those extra details made the wedding so much more fun and special. At first we thought Hilton Pearl River was out of our price range, but then we realized that all taxes and service fees are included in the prices they give you upfront. It made the planning process SO much easier, and we felt like we could really trust them (a lot of other venues promote one base price but then add tax, service fees and other upcharges later). Booking with Abbey was 100% the best wedding decision we made, and we cannot recommend this venue enough! Whether you’re a NJ or NY bride, I HIGHLY recommend checking them out.

Our wedding was held here and we absolutely loved every minute of it. From the planning to the actual day, everything was perfect and we are so thankful for the staff at the Hilton for helping us have our dream wedding. The scenery outside was so amazing for our pictures, we got married in mid October and the foliage was perfect. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the area!

We got married in early October this year and couldn't have asked for better service, better venue, better team to work with (Abbey and her team are the best!) We got so much positive feedback, from the food to the rooms and everything in between. Thank you so much for hosting the best wedding we could have asked for! Special shoutout to Linda for being the best!

I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at the Pear River Hilton!! Honestly, I cannot say enough wonderful things about the venue and team! We recently had our wedding there in October and it was spectacular!! I worked with Abbey (and team). They work so hard to ensure your special day (and time leading up to your day is smooth and stress free!!). Abbey is knowledgeable, intuitive, patient and extraordinary to work with! She and the team made our dreams come true, down to every last detail no matter how small. Any time I had a question, or if I forgot something they were right there to help, no hesitation. The event space is gorgeous and they work tirelessly to ensure the food and ambiance is perfect! And it was! We received so many compliments on the food and space!! Our guests were floored by cocktail hour and how much food was there; and how delicious it was! I cannot recommend having your wedding there enough! It was everything we could have ever dreamed it would be and it’s because of the hard work of Abbey and the team! Thank you Pearl River Hilton ❤️

To all the brides out there with future weddings - Pearl River Hilton they could not have been more beautiful & accommodating. We had our dream wedding at the Pearl River Hilton! It was absolutely breathtaking. The staff was incredible, and guided us through everything. They were simply so friendly and helpful through it all! From the food, to the professionalism, to the beautiful space. My guests kept raving about how amazing everything was. Jamie, our Event Manager, made the planning process so easy for us by being so patient and accommodating. She was genuine, kind, organized, and responsive to every email and phone call. She took care of us the day of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Derek (Maître d'), Linda, Bridal Attendant were 5 steps ahead of me and the day was flawless. I trusted them completely and they delivered more than I could have asked. Pearl River Hilton knows what they are doing and they are absolutely a venue you should consider if you want a worry-free wedding. Thank you for everything!

We cannot say enough about how incredible the Hilton Pearl River was for our wedding! We booked the Hilton in September 2020 for May, 2022. Abbey, Gerry, Derek, Trish, and the entire staff at the hotel were amazing to work with. Throughout the entire planning process, everyone went above and beyond. They were so accommodating and helpful with every detail, quickly responding to emails and calls at all times. Everyone is just so lovely to work with - so kind, generous, understanding, and thoughtful, in addition to being truly exceptional their job. We were fortunate to have all of our wedding events at the hotel, and are so happy we did. We had a rehearsal dinner at Two Henry’s restaurant, followed by welcome drinks in the bar, our wedding ceremony and reception, and post-wedding brunch. The food was delicious - we even got to eat, and had items set aside for us and saved to take home after the weekend. We cannot wait to go back for a weekend visit or dinner, and hope to be able to attend future events. By the our wedding weekend, Abbey really felt like our friend and family. The Hilton Pearl River is truly exceptional and exceeded all of our expectations for an absolutely wonderful wedding planning process and the most perfect wedding we could have ever imagined!

I can't say enough amazing things about the staff and venue, Hilton Pearl River. When we first pulled into the venue it was such a WOW moment for my now husband and I. Then when we met with Gerry, she was absolutely amazing! In our first meeting we fell in love with the venue as well as Gerry! Gerry and the venue worked with us on every request. They were also so were amazingly wonderful when we sadly had to move our wedding date due to COVID. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and it wouldn't have been possible without Gerry, Abby, Derek and the amazing staff at the Hilton Pearl River. You always hear about planning for a wedding being an absolute headache but Gerry was there for every question and concern we had. She made it all so easy and stress free for us. We can't thank you enough for everything! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day with our family and friends! And when I say perfect, I truly mean... it was PERFECT! Thank you!!

We wanted our wedding to be elegant and user-friendly and the Hilton exceeded our expectations on both. In addition to the hotel looking great, our guests loved the food and service and how easy everything was for them. The Hilton Pearl River allowed us to personalize so much of our events and made each feel unique and tailored to us even though they were all at the same location. Jamie and Derek ensured our events ran smoothly and even made sure we had time to eat with everything going on. Our wedding reception included multiple cultural traditions, dances, and speeches that Jamie & Derek coordinated seamlessly with our band to ensure everything fit together perfectly. From the day we first toured the Hilton Pearl River with Jamie until we left Sunday after our wedding, Jamie made herself available to answer our endless questions and ensure all the details were set. She also gave us great recommendations and coordinated with all of our vendors. She was even our tailor - sewing a button back in place on the groom's tux minutes before our first look. A massive thank you to everyone at the Hilton Pearl River for making our wedding day so special!

We got married at the Hilton Pearl River, and there is nothing I could possibly write that could capture how incredible our experience was. We mainly worked with Gerry, and she is hands down one of my favorite people on this planet. She, Abbey, and Jamie are the absolute dream team - not only can you tell that they absolutely love what they do and not only are they the BEST at what they do, but they are also just downright awesome human beings. From the moment we met them, we knew that we were in the best hands. Throughout the planning process, they were EXTREMELY helpful and accommodating. I don't even think the word no is in their vocabulary. Gerry even worked on her days off to answer my questions even when I specifically told her not to!! I'm not sure when she sleeps. They truly treated us like family. Every single person there made us feel like we were the most important people on this Earth, from the gentleman who brought our luggage up to our INSANE bridal suite to the most incredible bridal attendant Linda to the bartenders at our after party. Not to mention the venue is absolutely beautiful and the food is amazing. Saying that they gave us the wedding of our dreams would be an understatement because I couldn't have even dreamed of something this perfect. It was absolutely surreal. I didn't cry the entire wedding because I was very focused on not ruining my makeup, but then the waterworks suddenly started after breakfast when I was saying goodbye to Gerry because I will miss her and Abbey and the entire team so so much. I cannot thank them enough.

The Hilton Pearl River was the single best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Gerry, Jamie, Abby and the entire Hilton Pearl River team went above and beyond to ensure that it was the most spectacular wedding. From the moment we stepped foot into the HPR, they made my husband I feel incredibly special, taken care of and extremely committed to helping us build the wedding of our dreams. Every request we made was met with, “of course, what else can we do to help your vision come to life?” When I tell this to my friends, they are met with utter disbelief! The feedback we continue to get was that our wedding was the most organized wedding anyone had ever been to. I wish I could take an ounce of credit for it, but it had everything to do with the spectacular coordination, attention to detail and passion that Jamie, Derek, Linda and Samantha, gave throughout the entire weekend. The HPR experience does not end when your wedding is over, in fact, they invite you back on your first anniversary to eat at their restaurant, cut your cake, and relive the magical wedding moments. If you are considering the HPR for your wedding, do yourself a favor and don’t look anywhere else. When you sign with HPR you are more than just a customer, you truly become their family. Thank you, Jamie, for your tremendous leadership, passion, commitment and creativity and for making our wedding more than we ever imagined. Jodie + Edwin

My wife Jessica and I got married at the Hilton Pearl River (HPR) on Saturday 5/14/22, and it was the best day of our lives and if we could give the HPR more than 5 starts we would. Jess and I saw a few venues before we went to the HPR and were pretty much sold on another venue and were checking boxes to be thorough, but we had some family friends who had rave reviews for the HPR, so we decided to check it out for ourselves. Before we even met Jamie, Jess and I looked at each other in the lobby and nodded, we both had the same immediate gut feeling that we were done looking. Then we met Jamie who is probably the best person to work with in the entire wedding industry across the country - we even ask our friends and family if they have a "Jamie" as they plan their events. Jamie and the entire HPR staff could not be warmer, more accommodating, more excited, or easier to work with. The whole team is honest and help you make the day your own and will openly say what does or does not make sense - there is no aggressive upselling. If you want something done, the answer is always yes with no hassle or negotiation/sales, it’s like asking your family to help you with something – they are always willing and able. The level of excitement and collaboration from Jamie and the HPR team makes planning what is typically a huge stressful event fun and enjoyable. We also used all preferred vendors and each of them were excellent and will have their own reviews, but the incredible part was the level of partnership and trust the vendors and HPR all have for each other. It’s really amazing that our vendors all love and respect each other and are excited to work at the HPR. Everyone is on a first name basis which made our last-minute additions and requests to vendors easy to do. We see the hassle and stress our friends and family go through every time something in their wedding changes, and we never had an issue once. Jamie, Derek, Linda, and everyone else were absolutely spectacular and our entire wedding day and weekend at the HPR was magical. Through the ~14 months of our engagement we would often visit Two Henrys (HPR's restaurant) for dinner by ourselves and with our families. The food is spectacular, and the staff is amazing. Every time we came for dinner we were warmly greeted and would sit with Jamie or someone else to chat, we even became friendly with one of the Chefs Jake, who is a rockstar - ask him for a citrus panna cotta and thank me later. Overall, we were made to feel incredibly special, like we were family, and that anything we wanted to make our wedding day perfect for us was completely reasonable, no issue, and would be taken care off without us having to panic; and it was. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing, the space they give everyone during the whole event is awesome, the staff is perfect, and Derek and Jamie are the best. Our guests cannot stop raving about the entire event, food, staff, space etc., and we have been to enough weddings to know when the positive feedback is actually heartfelt and true vs. customary praise. At the time of writing this review, there are 100s of other 5 star reviews with similar glowing feedback for the Hilton Pearl River. If you are still reading this stop looking for another venue and leave your deposit. Thank you HPR, Jamie and everyone for taking such good care of us and making us part of the family - we will never forget our day and any of you, see you for dinner soon! -Jason and Jess

My husband Sal and I got married at The Hilton Pearl River a month ago and I have to say that I wish I could give this venue more than 5 stars!!! From my first meeting with our wedding coordinator, Jamie, I knew that I wanted to get married there. 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!

The most perfect wedding venue. I cannot get over how fantastic and incredible the team at the Hilton Pearl River was for our wedding day. Abbey Rochford, Derek Rubino, Gerry Burns, and the entire team at the Hilton went above and beyond to provide 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 times (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.

My husband and I had to push our Nov. 2020 wedding to Oct. 2021 and Jamie and the HPR were nothing but incredible. Each and every person was so helpful and accommodating. Jamie was so sweet and amazing from start to finish and helped make the day 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!

Get married here!! We got married here two weeks ago and it was the best decision of our lives. Gerry and her team are so special, we were originally supposed to get married last May and had to push it due to covid and every step of the way, Gerry put our mind at ease that whatever our wedding looked like at HPR, their team would make sure it was amazing no matter what (and it was!) Their facilities are so beautiful and the food is amazing, and it was so nice to have all of our guests be able to stay at the hotel. They are so much more than a wedding venue, at the end they truly felt like family. You will not regret getting married at the Hilton Pearl River!

I highly recommend the Hilton Pearl River for your wedding. The planners you work with are outstanding and go out of their way to make your event as special and nice as it can be. Abigail Rochford was unbelievable as was the Events Manager Gerri Burns. Beautiful facilities and opportunity for outdoor ceremony. Cocktail hour was great with its wide variety of food choices as was the dinner. Extremely accommodating in planning an event during COVID.

I cannot express how perfect the Pearl River Hilton was as our wedding reception venue. From start to finish, Gerry Burns, Abbey Rochford, Derek Rubio, and the rest of the team made all of our wedding stressors disappear. Throughout the planning process, the team was always available to answer questions and provided clear information about everything I had questions about. On the day of the wedding, they made sure that the whole day/night ran smoothly, and I did not have to worry about a single thing. The venue itself is just simply breathtaking. I cannot wait to see the final products of my wedding photos. The back lawn, the bridge, and the reception room exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team, then the Pearl River Hilton is for you. You will not be disappointed! Your wedding will be everything you could have ever dreamed of, just like ours was. Thank you for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

On top of the venue being absolutely stunning, the staff, especially Abbey Rochford and Trish Emersley were at our service whenever we needed the smallest little thing. It was an absolute pleasure working with Abbey and Trish, and the entire rest of the staff as well!! Thank you so much Hilton Pearl River. Our wedding was flawless thanks to their professionalism, courteousness, care and expertise.

The Hilton Pearl River was the most incredible venue for our wedding. Gerry and the events team are true professionals, and even better they are so warm and caring. We felt completely supported through a year’s postponement and many COVID challenges - they took care of everything from the moment we booked and always seemed to know exactly what to do. The venue itself is beautiful, with an amazing ballroom and a gorgeous outdoor space. And our wedding suite was amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the HPR - we’d get married again there if we could!

We had our wedding hotel block, rehearsal dinner and brunch the morning after at the Hilton Pearl River! The hotel is beautiful in the summer when the flowers are blooming and the rooms are sleek and well appointed. Our bridal party was impressed with the food at the rehearsal dinner and we are so glad we chose to have the dinner at the same location as our hotel block. Abbey from catering was amazing and responsive throughout after three COVID postponements!

Stop your search now and book with the Hilton Pearl River! We had our wedding on 6/25/21 and it was the best day of our lives! Everything was perfect from the moment we checked in, until we packed up our cars and left. Jamie was an absolute 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!

The only way to begin is to say that the BEST decision we made regarding our wedding was booking at the Hilton Pearl River. Our wedding was postponed from August 2020 to June 2021 and Abbey at the Hilton was beyond patient, accomodating and kind from day 1 we met her. The entire staff made us feel at home all weekend, and helped to make the wedding the most memorable weekends of our lives. 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!!!

Where do I even begin! The Hilton Pearl River made our wedding day (05/07/21) a true dream come true especially after a crazy year of not knowing if or when we would get to have the wedding we so desperately wanted. Gerry, Abbey, Jamie, Derek and ALL of the staff at the Hilton went above and beyond to make us feel so special. Every detail was completely taken care of, we had a stress free experience and each guest felt so incredibly welcomed and taken care of. We have friends still dreaming about the food and asking us to have another wedding so they can come back!!! I would choose the Hilton Pearl River over and over and over again.
