Hilton Pearl River

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!

he perfect venue for us! Gerry and Abby ensure that everything was perfect the day of, they went above and beyond to helped make our day perfect. The entire team was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Our wedding was so efficiently run! The food! The food was UNBELIEVABLE! Chef Dimitri was amazing, he made sure that everything was perfection. Everyone could not stop commenting on how amazing the food was! From cocktail hour to dinner to dessert! The grounds are gorgeous, we took the most amazing photos! Everyone of our family members and friends are telling us that this was the best wedding they've ever been to! We are so happy we chose the Pearl River Hilton, we would choose them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Gerry, Abby, Derek and team, we can't thank you enough for all you did for us!

ation and detail to service. We were treated with 5 star service VIP service. They took care of any problems that arose (when I forgot my heel protectors upstairs, Abbey ran up to find them- just one example) and took care of any issues we didn't even know were possible. 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.

town, but it far exceeded our expectations. Abbey went above and beyond what a day of coordinator should do and helped make our day perfect. The entire team was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Our wedding was so efficiently run that we were actually 10 minutes ahead of schedule! Everything went off without a hitch and I attribute that to Abbey and her amazing staff. On the day of the wedding there were 5 people checking in with me and working with the vendors so I didn't have to worry about anything. The grounds are gorgeous, as is every room in the hotel. We got married 3 weeks ago and people are still calling to tell me it was the best wedding they've ever been to. We are so happy we chose to go with the PRH, we would choose them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Abbey and everyone else for making our day so perfect!!

te sense of her interest to every nuance and concern we brought up. Absolutely nothing was out of bounds. She helped shape and design our wedding day right down to the rose pedals on the piano amongst our pictures while classical music was played. Her staff was just as attentive and knowledgeable before, during, and after our ceremony. Not to be left out was the food. Simply delicious!! The vast variety of foods addressing different palates was incredible. I can continue this review in greater detail and write a short novel on how how fabulous they made our day. But I will end this review by saying multiple guest extended rave kudos on how classy, pretty and decadent our wedding was. This venue comes with a huge stamp of approval and would gladly do it over the exact same way. One word: Amazing!!!

. Marisa a now former employee started working with us and was so wonderful. She smoothly passed the baton over to the director Gerry and Abbey who are the best mother/daughter working duo ever. They answered promptly to every little question I had. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They even went further with favors that I don’t think any other team and venue could have given us. They were so understanding and flexible with all our needs. Our wedding day was perfectly coordinated by the staff. Our guests loved the provision of the hotel bar as an after party spot after the wedding program. We all had a blast. The food is so excellent that my husband and I plan to visit often just to eat. Guests were amazed at the quantity of food being served throughout the entire wedding. The drinks were also excellent. The bridal team was pampered with lots of food in the getting ready room. Our bride and groom suite was beautifully decorated and so spacious. Newly renovated rooms are so warm, Spacious and filled with bright colors!! Overall the whole experience was a fairytale dream come true. I got married to my prince in a castle called Hilton Pearl River. I highly recommend anyone getting married to check it out. You won’t regret it, I promise!!

s throughout the process in a timely and thorough manner. She made the stressful wedding planning process very stress-free and a pleasant experience. I cannot be more thankful to the staff at the Hilton for making our special day a day we will never forget. Our guests are still talking about the fabulous time they had! From the check-in to our room, to the servers, the bartenders, and everyone in between, the service was top notch! I also want to shout out my bridal attendant Lynda and head Maître d' Derek for being by my side the entire day and ensuring that all our needs were met throughout. I appreciate that I was able to wait until the day of the wedding to see the weather and to decide whether or not we wanted our ceremony indoors or outdoors. The grounds are beautiful and we had a variety of places to take pictures at. There is a not a single thing I would have changed about the day. I highly recommend the Hilton!

nds. Every single detail was absolutely perfect. From the food, attentiveness, service, kindness and everything in between, it exceeded our expectations. We hosted our entire event at the hotel from rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and then brunch on Sunday. We utilized the entire venue by having our ceremony in the conservatory cloud room, cocktail hour in the garden and outside, reception in the ballroom and after party in a private room across from the bar. We did buffet dinner and let me tell you, everyone keeps talking about how fabulous our food was and how great having a buffet was. The food was always hot and people had so much to chose from. We had every station you could want from burgers and fries, carvings stations, Asian, Italian, etc. The stations stayed open for hours which was even better. What was even better was the dessert, OMG. I still can't get over how much they offer you within their packages and how wonderful it all was. Abbey and Derek specifically made the entire experience even better. I wish we would do it all over again and I wouldn't change a thing. We wanted a hotel so that everything could be at one place and we made the absolute best decision.

s amazing to work with and easily accessible by phone any day of the week. The flow of the wedding went smoothly. Everyday we are getting calls on how amazing the wedding was. Our out of town guests had an easy time getting from the airport to the hotel and were so appreciative of not having to leave the hotel once they got there.

ial day. Our first meeting with Abbey set the tone for the kind of experience we would have on our wedding day and the type of treatment we would personally receive. Abbey and her fabulous team took care of every detail, both big and small, including things we didn’t even think of or know to ask. Their professionalism blended with their easy-going manner was ideal to help us with the sometimes stressful task of planning a wedding. Any questions we had were quickly answered and any requests we had were quickly fulfilled. The hotel was extremely flexible and accommodating with aspects ranging from the menu to the layout of the ballroom. On the actual day itself, Abbey, Derek, and the rest of the team took control and made sure everything ran like clockwork so all we had to do was show up at the designated times. Picking the venue for the wedding was the biggest decision we had to make in the overall process and we could not have made a better one. The Hilton Pearl River will always hold a special place in our hearts.

s everything we needed. Gerry and Abby set up the escort table, our guestbook, signs, etc on the day of the wedding. It rained while we were taking photos outside, and Abby came to help me hold my dress up in the rain during the photos. I should mention it was cold! 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. Whether a winter or summer wedding, the Pearl River Hilton is fantastic and will make it their number one priority to help you enjoy your wedding day. A HUGE thank you on behalf of us and our families for the exceptional professionalism and customer service from Gerry and her team. They are the best.

ver staff did for us on our wedding date. They worked incredibly well with us from the both the catering and hotel staff to help make the day as stress free as possible. The food was delicious, the venue space were gorgeous, and most of all our guests had the best time celebrating our day. It has been three months since our wedding date and we still can't stop smiling from how perfect our wedding was for us. Thank you Hilton Pearl River!

perfection from the minute I (the bride) got there. Gerry and the entire staff made us feel so special and kept the entire bridal party and families on track and calm. All this while making sure the vendors did their jobs as well. Linda, my bridal attendant was amazing. She was so kind and helpful; I don’t know how I would have survived without her. The whole hotel is so beautiful and the quests were raving from the minute they got there. Our wedding was a few weeks ago and we’re still getting phone calls from family and friends saying how delicious the food was and how perfect the wedding was. The day goes so quickly but the memories will last a lifetime thanks to the Hilton Pearl River.

ed and they enjoyed the whole weekend! We could not be happier!

was so nice to us and our family. She’s so incredibly helpful and friendly.

ection. From the moment we signed our contract, our event manager, Abbey, was a dream to work with. She promptly answered every phone call, e-mail, and text sent throughout our 18 months of planning and was willing to work with every idea and vision we threw at her. She kept the entire process stress-free and made us feel like we were the only and most important event she was planning. On wedding night, the Hilton absolutely hit it out of the park. Our maître d', Derek, epitomized professionalism and curated the perfect evening. Before my husband and I even realized we had a need, Derek had already addressed it. He was incredibly attentive and took care of every little detail for us. He was everything a bride and groom could hope for in a maître d'. Each member of the staff was equally as skilled and pleasant, taking care of our guests' every desire and then some. As a one-event space, we truly felt the focus and dedication of the entire staff towards the success our evening. After having seen the Hotel several times throughout the planning process, the ballroom and cocktail hour space were completely transformed into stunningly beautiful spaces for our reception. Derek, Abbey, and their team worked tirelessly to bring our visions to life (including moving the entire cocktail hour inside just hours before it was set to start!) and the results were breathtaking. Additionally, even several weeks later, our guests are still raving about the food served at our wedding. Many have told us that the Hilton has completely changed their view of "hotel weddings" and given them a new "gold standard" for wedding meals. The food was absolutely delicious- from the expansive cocktail hour, to the four-course plated meal, to the departure treats! Selecting the Hilton for our wedding day was one of the very best decisions we have ever made. We would recommend the venue to EVERYONE! Our wedding day exceeded our expectations and the Hilton Pearl River deserves all of the credit. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

whole year and planning process leading up to the wedding. Derek was amazing and helped make our reception run so smoothly and flawlessly. The food was amazing!! Our guests could not stop talking about the cocktail hour food, dinner and dessert! Our guests were also very happy with how spacious the reception room was, the multiple bars, and the size of the dance floor! Everyone was dancing all night long and had a great time! We are so happy with our choice and would highly recommend the Hilton to all!

with a bridge at the end, and an ivy-covered wall. These areas provide great backdrops for photos. Our favorite space, though, was probably the conservatory room. It has a beautiful painted ceiling, and it really is breathtaking. We knew that we’d be thrilled whether our ceremony was out on the lawn or in the conservatory. 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. They also have a very nice garden room that we used for our cocktail hour, and a gorgeous ballroom for the reception. Aside from the physical space, we were so happy with the PEOPLE we worked with at the Hilton! We worked primarily with Gerry, but also with Abbey, Derek, and Marissa. All of them were very communicative, professional, and friendly. It was very clear that they wanted to do whatever they could to make our wedding day as special and smooth as possible. They were truly a pleasure to work with leading up to and throughout the wedding weekend. We really enjoyed our food tasting in advance of the wedding, and the food on the wedding day was amazing. The Hilton provides a TON of creative and delicious options in their food/drinks package, both for cocktail hour stations/hors d’oeuvres and for the reception meal. And they made sure that my husband and I had the chance to eat, which was great! At the end of the evening, we stayed at the hotel, and they had set up our room beautifully and thoughtfully, i.e. with the flowers, leftover cake, etc. We really did get royal treatment throughout the wedding weekend (not to mention that the Hilton looks like a castle!). We had an incredible wedding weekend, and we highly recommend the Hilton Pearl River!

of the wedding. The wedding ran perfectly without one flaw. Everyone knew where to be and where to go because of the dedicated work of entire staff. Leading up to the wedding, Gerry was super responsive and I felt I was in good hands the entire time. The actual day ran so smoothly; it was really like a dream. Derek was incredible in running the show and June, the bridal attendant, was so exceptional and took such good care of me on my wedding day. She even made sure to give me much needed breaks so I could breathe and relax. Even the interns at the Hilton helped bring us waters and snacks throughout the day. The grounds are gorgeous. We had the most beautiful outdoor ceremony. My wedding was 400 people, but it somehow seemed intimate at the ceremony. I really don’t know how people do weddings anywhere else. I was really stress free because Gerry and her staff know how to run an amazing wedding. The ballroom was perfect and we were able to have a gigantic dance floor. The cocktail room is stunning. There is really nothing wrong with this venue. Also, the rooms were all recently redone and are sooo nice and modern! The bridal suite was amazing too! We came back to the room and there were candles lit everywhere and champagne. The suite is so big and beautiful, we could have had an after party in there! You will make the best decision of your life if you choose the Hilton Pearl River to be your wedding venue! I promise you won’t regret it!

people - from the Bellhop (Jarell), Bridal Attendant (Linda), Maitre d’ (Derek), bartenders, staff for room blocks (Trish and Max), and the rest of the Hilton Team (Abbey, Jacque, Gerry) were all so AMAZING. They couldn’t do enough for all of us. The venue is gorgeous, the cocktail room, conservatory, reception and the grounds are BEAUTIFUL. Plenty of areas to take fabulous pictures. They just renovated the rooms and bridal suite which was well-laid out and roomy. Even the makeup team (Pinup and Pout were impressed). The food was delicious and plentiful - thank you to the chefs and hard work of their team. The Pearl River Hilton is a full service hotel with a beautiful bar and restaurant. Once again - MARISA was AMAZING, and anybody planning a wedding at the Pearl River Hilton will be extremely happy – the evening went without a glitch. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making it a “PERFECT” and FUN Party xoxo

ndors which made the process seamless. We did our entire wedding weekend at the hotel; from rehearsal dinner, wedding day/night and Sunday brunch. The food was delicious and our guests loved being a part of our "local wedding weekend." Can't thank the Hilton Pearl River enough for helping me make my wedding dreams come true!

st bang for your buck! In addition, everyone is such a delight to work with!! They accommodated all of our requests and never batted an eyelash. Our wedding coordinator, Abbey, is hands down the key to all the magic. She made EVERYTHING so easy for me, from answering 1000s of questions prior to the wedding day, to being available 24/7, and to making my wedding Day the smoothest and best day imaginable. The food is delicious, and all of our guests were raving about the cocktail hour and the venue itself. The ballroom is huge, there are plenty of photo op spaces, and the lobby is simply elegant. We even had our brunch and rehearsal dinner at the hotel and nothing was replicated- each in a different room with different menu options. They also recently renovated their rooms which are gorgeous and HUGE! I could not say enough positive things about this venue. The Pearl River Hilton will forever hold a special place in my heart! Thank you Abbey and the entire staff who helped give me the wedding of my dreams!!

were so beyond perfect that the day, and the leading up to it, I couldn’t have asked for more. I am an event planner, so I know a good event ☺ The venue is perfect for guests, over 200 of mine stayed at the hotel the night of my wedding and were hosted for a bunch the following day. They all loved the experience, appreciated the ease, free parking, comfort of the hotel and taking an elevator up to bed after a night of dancing and drinking. Abby and Gerry knew all my vendors, which made the process that much more smooth – the vendors, my florist especially, love working at the Hilton which is a tribute to how amazing the staff and venue are. My bridal attendant was a DOLL and everyone loved her (that comes complimentary). When I got up to our bridal suite after the wedding it was decorated with flowers, candles, and champagne, my veil laid out, and truly it sealed the best day ever. The whole team was at my side, and there to make my wedding the magic it was. Everything was smooth from visiting and booking the space, booking our guest rooms, the day of event timeline, and the day of. I was there a couple of times leading up to the wedding to stuff goody bags, drop off décor, and visit for general planning – and was treated to lunch each time. I will admit I did NOT want to get married at a “plain, boring hotel” but I have zero regrets. It was transformed and gorgeous, and I didn’t need to worry about weather, traffic, noise, etc. The team at the Hilton Pearl River is the best in the business. I PROMISE you will not regret a wedding at the Hilton!!!!! OH, and they took care of my dogs so they could be at the wedding with us. Perfection is an understatement, I would get married there 10 more times.

venue.

uld recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!!

dance all the way through. Derrick and Gerry were on point all night and the hotel staff worked seamlessly with our kosher caterer and in turn with our band so the evening flowed flawlessly. 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!

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!

tting ready rooms, espresso shots, daily emails). There's so many things you have to think about when planning a wedding, and the Pearl River Hilton staff just make it so much easier. I couldn't recommend the venue and the team that comes with it more!

ls, and often stayed late to meet with us after work! She consistently answered our questions right away and let us know what we needed to do each step of the way. The week of the wedding she took our seating chart, menus, pictures we wanted to use as decorations, and items for our after party. She and her team set everything up on the day of and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Abbey is a true pro and I'm so thankful we had her to work with! We also worked with Derek and his team on the night of the wedding, and they made sure that everything went perfectly! They even fixed my dress after I (almost immediately) ripped the bustle off! Derek worked with our DJ to make sure everything happened on time, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire night. The entire staff there is so nice and accommodating - there's nothing more we could have asked for! The rooms were great, the hotel block was easy, the cocktail hour was fantastic, and the room we were given to get ready in was exactly what we needed! We are still getting calls and texts from our guests telling us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to and that the food was excellent! I highly, highly recommend the Hilton!

as friendly and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding Derrick and June made sure everything was perfect and went along without a hitch. The Hilton made me feel like a true princess from the moment we got ready to the moment we went to bed. It was an amazing day and many of our guests raved about the food and said it was a top notch wedding. If we could do it all over again there isn't a doubt in my mind we go back to the Hilton Pearl River. It was truly magical.

many questions and requests and made us feel like everything was going to be taken care of and that there was nothing to worry about. She and her team pulled off an amazing weekend, starting from the rehearsal the day before, to the brunch the morning after. The food was incredible (and there was so much!) and the venue itself was gorgeous. Derek was our maitre d' and he and his team were amazing. They kept the flow of the wedding running perfectly and we felt completely stress-free the whole night. He even was able to bustle my complicated dress! We highly recommend the Pearl River Hilton.

ou may have throughout the entire process. I can't say enough good things about how they helped to make our day perfect. Thank you! Liz and Kevin

the morning after that Lori arranged, which was perfect for our family. From the beautiful grounds, to the numerous room options for ceremony & cocktail hour, to the amazing food, you can't go wrong here. We were supposed to have our ceremony outside, but it simply was too hot outside and luckily we had a plan B that we put into action on the morning of the wedding. It was so beautiful and went off without a hitch. Gerry and Derek will make sure you have the day you always dreamed of. I promise you will not be disappointed!

nd of the wedding night! Derek was incredible! He was so attentive and made sure everything ran as smooth as possible! The breakfast the morning after the wedding was amazing as well! Everyone raved about the food and drinks. We can't wait to plan another event with the Pearl River Hilton!

e entire staff were so professional and attentive. Food was excellent. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. Thank you Pearl River.

cial thanks to Gerry Burns, Kathy Feeney, Catherine Feeney, and Derek Rubino, who played an integral part of our process and special day! We heard great reviews from our guests, we had 310 people and no one had to wait on line for a drink, and everybody loved the food! Our cocktail hour was in the conservatory, which blew everyone away! We can not thank you enough for making our wedding truly a day we could only dream of!

to have our reception, the Hilton was an easy choice! Not only did we like the proximity of it but also it made it easy on our guests to have everything in the same town and the fact they don't have to leave the Hilton once there! Gerry and Jackie made our wedding dreams come to life, my family and I couldn't be more appreciative of the hard work they put into our wedding to make it perfect. They were always available to chat and always answered our calls and emails right away. All of our guests raved about the food,location and beauty of the estate, we keep getting calls! The reception was truly out of a magazine and the Hilton staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was personalized and made our guests and us feel like royalty.

arking lot for our appointment, we knew it was the one (as cliche as it sounds). The venue itself is beautiful from its chateau like architecture to the sprawling lawn but the hospitality of the team is what really made it special. The entire planning process was so smooth thanks to Marisa and her team. She was so easy to work with and was so professional not only with us but with all of our vendors. She and Derek ensured our day was absolutely perfect, coordinating with 10+ vendors and helping our entire bridal party/guests feel welcome and comfortable throughout the day. We highly recommend the Hilton Pearl River and wish we could do it all over again ourselves! Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend amazing!

s and well-organized event. Our guests continue to rave about the excellent food, friendly waitstaff/bartenders, and accommodations. Wish we could go back and relive the night. Amazing! Thank you again!!!

le. The venue itself is beautiful. It is such a well kept, clean hotel. Each room has its own unique charm and beauty. We even did our rehearsal dinner at the hotel restaurant, Two Henry’s. The food was amazing and they created an area in the restaurant to accommodate our rehearsal dinner guests. Lori, the manager at Two Henry’s, is awesome and made sure that we had our own special area secluded for us! As far as the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception went, Gerry and her team went beyond the call of duty to make every single detail magnificent. The cocktail hour was superb. The food was awesome and people continue to talk about our cocktail hour. My husband and I even got to eat the food during cocktail hour because they made sure we tried everything!! The reception was perfect. The staff was extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we wanted. Linda and Jackie were amazing. We received first class treatment throughout the entire weekend. The wait staff noticed during the reception that my husband lost his voice and next thing we know he has a cup of hot tea and honey at our table. At the end of the night when we returned to our suite, they had a floral heart arrangement, a tray of desserts, wedding cake and my husband’s favorite beverage! The staff at this hotel is extremely professional. Every time we had a question, we received an email response immediately. Every time we needed to make a change, they accommodated us. No matter what it was, they did everything they could to make our dream come true! They paid attention to every single detail that was important to us. Anyone would be lucky to work with a team like this one. Thank you for making our weekend spectacular! We appreciate everything you did and we couldn’t possibly be any happier. Everything was perfect, and honestly not one single thing went wrong. If you are thinking about choosing this venue, we promise you will not be disappointed.

lanning our special day but throughout our experience we met so many wonderful people who work at the Hilton Pearl River. Leading up to the big day Gerry and Jacqueline made themselves available whether it was for in person meetings or via email. We felt so comfortable knowing that they were in our corner and were there to help make the day run more smoothly. In fact they made a suggestion to us about the flow of our day, we trusted them and went with their suggestion. They could not have been more correct! All of the employees of Hilton Pearl River are so good at what they do, we have zero complaints and all thanks and praise. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was sophisticated, elegant, and quiet. We actually got married in the Conservatory Room and it was just so beautiful. If we would plan our wedding over again there's no doubt in our minds that the Hilton Pearl River would be our choice! Our guests loved their hotel rooms and the breakfast the next morning was delicious! If you are planning a wedding, get on the phone today, call Gerry and book your date ASAP! Marissa and Kevin

ecause I knew Gerry and her team went above and beyond to accommodate all of our wishes for the wedding.

e weekend's events at one location, which meant that folks could decamp to their rooms whenever needed and transportation was not required. (No limo or buses to deal with!) The event rooms and grounds are lovely and well-kept and the amenities are top-notch. The staff is the key to their success. Every staff member was warm and accommodating and helped us feel very relaxed throughout the entire weekend. They are true professionals who bring many years of hospitality experience to the table and one has the feeling that they could handle anything. 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. The bar options were also very impressive and the specialty cocktails were a fun touch. In summary, we wish we could get married here every year, because it was a heck of a party!

eginning, she was warm, friendly and willing to work with us. Our Saturday wedding was fairly large (240 people) and we were hosting a traditional engagement ceremony the day prior. The Hilton had never put on a engagement ceremony like this but were eager to work with us and accommodate our needs. Our wedding day turned out perfect. 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!

ceremony outside which was beautiful. Everything was beautiful. We couldn't be happier. I highly recommend having your wedding there. We can't stop smiling.

n. Weddings are their specialty. The facilities, both indoors and out, are wonderful and create a magical ambience. The food was fabulous and the service exemplary. The bridal suite (included) hosts your entire wedding party in unparalleled comfort. Every detail is considered by the expert staff (no party planner necessary) including dressing rooms, make-up rooms, and private room for pre-party traditions such as Ketubah signing. All of the above, and great value. The prices were very reasonable for the area and they delivered on all their promises and then some. Their florist recommendation was spot on. It was truly Wedding Bliss for the couple, the hosts and the guests.

ing really came to life because of the diligence and dedication of the Hilton staff, most especially Nancy, Marisa, Derek, and Abbey (thank you all so much!). We had an enormous wedding (over 300 people) but the Hilton staff made everything flow seamlessly. From the earliest stages of planning, Marisa and the Hilton staff were very responsive to our communications and accommodated all of our needs and requests (which were many!). Marisa always made us feel at peace and confident that all was taken care of. We met Derek and Abbey only a few weeks before our wedding, but they immediately gave off the same vibe and were just as helpful and supportive. Everything about our wedding at the Hilton went off as perfectly as one could hope for. The rooms were amazing and the guests were all very comfortable; we have been told by many guests that the food at both the cocktail hour and dinner was the best they’ve had at a wedding (and we agree); the inclement weather on our wedding day was not even remotely a factor; and the reception itself was absolutely beautiful. We can’t recommend the Hilton highly enough. Honestly, our review doesn’t come close to describing how happy they made us on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a place to hold your wedding, you should seriously consider checking them out!

always had a way of making me feel so special! I had my ceremony, cocktail hour & reception all at the Hilton and everything ran smoothly. The grounds and the rooms are stunning and very well maintained! maintained.recommerecommend

utiful. The food was delicious. There is no need to look any further. All in one accommodations from the ceremony , cocktail hour and reception. We also had breakfast in the garden room the next day.

very happy. Derek and Marisa are the best! Thanks to them a lot!

t thinking, "something is going to go wrong with the Hilton. They can't possibly be this flawless." There is not ONE thing I would change or improve. The Hilton staff is PERFECT. From your customer service, responsiveness, ideas and flexibility to your aesthetically beautiful venue and professional staff-- I don't know how you do it!! I had guests tell me it was the best wedding food they have ever had. One guest said it was the best steak she has EVER had!! Each one of the team members executes their job flawlessly and in turn, the guests and Bride and Groom can relax and enjoy an elegant affair. Gerry is a gem! Her responsiveness, suggestions, ideas -- EVERYTHING. She is an absolute joy to work with. I wish I could take her to every venue I work with. Derek and Jackie- PERFECTION. Who knew Derek could bustle a dress like a boss!!?? They put me so at ease. I couldn't have imagined a better reception. FLAWLESS. Thank you for dealing with all my changes and emails and questions You never once lost your cool even when I was being witchy. so professional and sophisticated. BRAVO!

e asked for a better wedding weekend. Everyone one was extremely pleased with every aspect of this venue; food, drinks, accommodations and ease of check in - out. We would absolutely recommend The Hilton Pearl River for all your family events! Thanks for the great memories!!!

exactly as requested. Having made two beautiful weddings previously for my other children at other venues, I can honestly say that this was exceptional !! The professionalism, efficiency, warmth and flexibility surpassed all my expectations. Nothing was too hard or too challenging - the staff was unbelievably responsive and truly wanted to insure that we were happy with the event- It made all the difference!!

isa, Jacqueline & the entire Hilton Pearl River team. Even all our guests could not stop raving about the superior service, the venue, the food & everything in between. It has been quite an honor to have our reception over at Hilton Pearl River & we totally recommend this venue because they make things memorable, not to mention easy, for those deciding to have this as their reception venue. We got married in the fall of 2015 - the colors of fall absolutely stood out, made our photographer & videographer very happy. As proof, I will share with you our wedding same-day-edit video : https://vimeo.com/143449774 We totally enjoyed our time with Hilton Pearl River - if I could give this review 100 stars, I would.

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. If you get married here, can you invite us? We'd love to experience it all again!

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! If you have your wedding at the Pearl River Hilton you will have an incredible experience from beginning to end. We are forever grateful for the amazing experience we had!

cannot thank the staff enough for making it an unforgettable experience. Everything was perfect. Gerry Burns and Derek Rubino are experts when it comes to event planning. They did everything we asked of them and more. Above and beyond what I could have ever expected. We booked our venue very early (2 years in advance) and for those 2 years Gerry was in constant contact with us whether it was for questions we had or just to check in with us to see how our plans were coming along. She was so comforting and friendly, truly a breath of fresh air during the fun yet stressful time of wedding planning that we all know and love. My mom and I will honestly miss talking to her every week. In the last month we had constant contact with Derek for scheduling of the big day. Between him and the bridal attendants everything went seamlessly to schedule. At one point he was carrying my shoes as he helped me carry my train to our own private cocktail hour that just me and my husband shared. Anything and I mean anything that we asked of was done and taken care of. I put my complete trust in both Gerry and Derek to handle anything that came our way and they exceeded my expectations. From the food, the ballroom, the hotel rooms, the bar, brunch and just the very atmosphere of the Hilton, we still have guests raving. Especially about cocktail hour! The hotel rooms are beautiful as well as the Bridal suite. My husband and I both got ready the morning of the wedding at the Hilton. We were separately provided food and beautiful rooms to host our bridal party and families during hair/makeup and picture time. Marissa, Gerry's assistant was extremely helpful to us during this time even offering to run out to CVS to purchase nail polish remover (because who thinks of taking that with them?!). Just because of her help, we didn't need to lift a finger and stayed calm and relaxed. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing! The staff at the Hilton really made our wedding amazing and stress free! We are forever grateful for all of them and we are so happy to have been able to share our special time with exceptional people. Thank you to everyone at the Hilton who made October 9th 2015 the best day ever!!

l they have a lot of experience in various aspects of wedding planning and execution. They thought of things that there was no way I would have thought of on my own. They truly made the wedding planning process much easier than it otherwise would have been. The most exceptional part of the wedding was the service we received during the event. Multiple people commented on this. Every time I turned around someone was offering me a drink, refilling my water, asking if I needed anything, etc. This courtesy and attention extended to guests as well rather than just to the bridal party, and many guests commented on it. 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.

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!!

tiful!!

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.

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.

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.

ns in the months leading to our wedding to finalize all the details for our big day. Gerry was so wonderful to work with- she helped us have the day we envisioned. 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! The servers were incredibly attentive to all of our guests. Our bridal attendant, Maeve, was so helpful and always made sure our drinks were full and we had everything we needed. We could not have selected a better venue for our wedding!

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!

f was UNBELIEVABLE! The maitre'd , Derek, was so amazing - I can't even tell you! And the bridal attendant, Linda, was the most amazing, nicest woman in the world. Any time you needed anything, Derek and Linda were right there next to you. My husband and I, not to mention our parents and the entire wedding party, had the most fantastic experience the day of the wedding because of these two! I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone. It's BEAUTIFUL! The food is amazing, and everyone is so wonderful to work with. Simply the best!

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!

th lots of greenery & flowers. The food is delicious & the staff is friendly. The rooms & fitness center are very clean. Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

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!

g sure all your needs are not only met but are above and beyond your ask. Especially on the day of, they are literally one step ahead of you making sure you're comfortable, calm and can enjoy every minute. Any ask we made of Gerry in terms of set up or menu or scheduling, she made it happen. The beauty of the hotel speaks for itself and it's recent upgrade of the interior decor i the Conservatory, Ballroom and Le Jardin room put it over the top for perfection. I could go on and on, so will summarize it easily--book the Hilton Pearl River and you will have NO regrets or issues!

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!
