Hilton Pearl River

ing weekend. We live out of state and choosing the Pearl River Hilton made the planning stages so much easier for us. From the catering to the decor setup to the vendor communication, Abbey made every step of the way as stress free as possible. The number one reason to choose the Pearl River Hilton is the level of service. On our wedding day the staff continually checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Our guests shared this sentiment and were so complimentary of the hotel and service. Everything was beautiful and we are so grateful that they made our special day even more magical. Thank you!!!

make you feel like family. They basically give you all your prices upfront and don't blind side you with any extra cost. They take you through each step and make your life so easy. I felt like I could relax and not have to worry about anything. My family and friends can't stop talking about how great of a venue the Hilton Pearl River is, and our wedding was one of the best weddings they have ever been to.

emely helpful in talking me through options. I opted not to hire a wedding planner or a day of coordinator, and honestly didn't need either since Abby and Derek were so wonderful throughout the process!! My husband and I had the best stress free day celebrating with all our favorite people. Many of our wedding guests have commented it was the best wedding ever. We were so happy!

ur events manager was Abbey and she made planning and day of logistics absolutely seamless despite all of our moving parts (multiple events in one day including Barat, 2 ceremonies, lunch, cocktail hour and reception, 350-400 guests, shuttles to welcome party/Garba, etc.). The ballroom was the perfect size and most of our guests were able to book rooms at the hotel for the weekend. Unfortunately it did rain for us, but the hotel staff were swift in adjusting plans last minute. They were flexible, communicative and accommodating throughout the whole process, let alone reasonably priced. Five stars

y, Derek, Kimberly, and everyone else that made our day flow so seamlessly. The food was amazing, the drinks never stopped, and the venue was everything we could have asked for! We still hear from our guests that this is the best wedding that they have been to! 

people. Abbey who is the event Coordinater and her whole staff work tirelessly to make your event a success. We hosted a 400 person indian wedding with events spanning over 4 days. The hotel has not only a ballroom which accommodates up to 525 but it also has smaller rooms which you can use to host other smaller events. The hotel is a 150 rooms and our guests had the luxury of staying upstairs and coming down for events. From day one Abbey was on the same page as us. She made sure each event was organized and all the vendors worked in coordination. They have a premium open bar and the flexibility to make signature cocktails. The drinks were freely flowing anything from cocktails to shots. We are so thankful to have our wedding at this stunning venue. Abbey and her whole team were incredible I have no words to describe what they did for us. The bar in the hotel also was the perfect place to host our after party. A special shoutout to Trish who helped with our hotel reservations and she was amazing and helpful! 

tentive. Gerry and Derek take great care in ensuring you have the best wedding ever!

ly and it is because the staff here is fantastic! Highly recommend.

to work with. They were incredibly accessible during the planning stages and also throughout our entire wedding weekend of our multi-event Indian wedding. Thank you Sloane, Abbey and everyone at Hilton Pearl River who made our wedding weekend perfect!!

t was so helpful. From taking the time to plan out the size of the tent, dance floor and the bar height to incredible service the day of the wedding our wedding day was seamless and magical. Gerry was involved the entire day taking care of every detail including running to our room to retrieve the wedding ring as we were lining up to walk down the aisle and literally saving the day! I can’t recommend this venue enough. Besides the incredible service- the venue itself was picture perfect-from the amazing grounds for outdoor pictures and ceremony to the indoor spaces and prep rooms. Thank you thank you for everything!!!

accommodating. Gerry helped us organize every detail so that the event was perfect and we were able to relax and enjoy the night. Incredible human being. Best experience ever!!

oane, Kelly, and the whole staff were so helpful and made planning easy. We even got to come in the week and day before to set up, which was a big help. On the day, everything ran smoothly. We loved the spacious getting-ready areas and the complimentary suite for the night felt like a dream. Guests loved the food, especially cocktail hour. Sloane and Kelly managed the timeline perfectly, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. I’d recommend Hilton Pearl River to anyone wanting a grand wedding. Growing up in the town made it even more special for me. Thanks to everyone there for making our day unforgettable!

experience, the Pearl River Hilton is it! From the moment we started planning, everything was effortless—largely thanks to Gerry, who was beyond amazing to work with. She made the entire process stress-free and ensured our wedding day ran flawlessly. Her attention to detail and professionalism were unmatched, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment without a single worry. The venue itself is stunning, but what really sets it apart is the convenience of having everything in one place. Since it’s a hotel, we and our guests were able to stay overnight, making the transition from the reception to the after-party and next-day brunch so easy. Speaking of brunch, having it right at the hotel was such a great touch—it let us continue celebrating with our guests in a relaxed setting the next morning. And let’s not forget the incredible bridal suite, which was spacious, luxurious, and the perfect place to get ready. Now, the food—absolutely phenomenal! One of the main courses was filet mignon, cooked to perfection—just what we needed after a night of dancing. Every course was delicious, and our guests are still raving about the meal. And for those who weren’t ready for the night to end, the hotel bar had karaoke, which kept the celebration going well past the reception! If you want a wedding venue that offers beauty, convenience, and top-tier service, the Pearl River Hilton is an easy choice. From the exceptional staff to the incredible food and all the little extras that made the weekend unforgettable, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Highly recommend!

ess, stress-free logistics, this venue looks like a castle and has beautiful event spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We were lucky with the weather and had our ceremony outside on the lawn with a beautiful fall foliage background. Abbey and Derek are INCREDIBLE to work with, the whole wedding planning and wedding weekend experience was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. The staff have perfected wedding planning and execution, and everything truly was perfect the entire weekend. The food was amazing, our guests still talk about how delicious the food was, from cocktail hour, to dinner, dessert and brunch. Abbey makes the wedding planning process stress-free and is so sweet. We are beyond happy with our decision to have our wedding here and we know we will hold many more events at HPR in the future.

nd 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!

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!

e 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!

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!

se of rain, but the indoor space (the cloud room) was stunning, and everything ran extremely smoothly and flawlessly. Cannot recommend them enough.

ed 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!

r 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!

ough 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!!

eded 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.

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.

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!!!

d! 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.

ues 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!!

ng 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.

mless. 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!

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!

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.

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!

ttempt 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.

ried 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.

hile 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!

e 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.

ow 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!

redible. 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.

ad 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!
