From the moment we contacted Tori Hamplios at the Hilton to months after our perfect wedding, she has been more than an event planner, she has been a friend.
The venue was incred...
ible and renovated just months before our reception, the staff was beyond helpful, respectful, considerate and even curious! If we could do it again, we would call Tori and ask for the Picasso Ballroom once more.
Thank you to the entire Hilton Carillon staff for making our day priceless!!
Incredible wedding venue location. The hotel isn't busy for weekend weddings, the decor and outside area is beautiful for photos and Wendy is an incredible wedding coordinator. She...
was so helpful during the wedding planning and the day of to make our day perfect!
I can't say thank you enough to Wendy and the staff at the Hilton Carillon. Everything about our wedding was perfect!
I had my dream wedding at the Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park and it was all thanks to my wonderful wedding coordinator Wendy Baratta! I cannot even begin to pick what my favor...
ite part about getting married here was. First, it was all-inclusive that made all the planning far less stressful. I didn't have to worry about finding a caterer, bartender, tables, chairs, linens, placeware, centerpieces, someone to remove the garbage and clean up afterwards (which I would not have even thought about on my own), etc.. There was a beautiful outdoor patio for the reception (and a backup ballroom in case of poor weather), that was wonderfully decorated with gorgeous trees and flowers, and a wonderfully elegant fountain. And the indoors were incredible! I had absolutely zero decorating to do. All of the beautiful designwork on the inside, combined with the gorgeous outdoor garden/terrace made a perfect scene for pictures. The groomsmen had a fabulous room to play pool in while they waited on us girls (and we had a comped suite to get ready in). Our wedding suite for the evening was comped too. The food was phenomenal, I was really impressed. But seriously, Wendy was so amazing as our wedding coordinator (she works for the hotel) I don't know how I would have done it all or survived the day without her! My husband and I had our perfect wedding, and everything went so smoothly. It was a beautiful start for this next chapter in our lives.
I would like to thank Wendy and all her staff at the Hilton Carillon Park for making my wedding a day to remember. Wendy you are an angel, I really appreciate everything you did fo...
r me, thank you for answering my phone calls and emails no matter how many times I called and email, you were always happy to help me. Hilton carillon park is a great and beautiful venue if you are looking for an elegant venue for your wedding/event, you should definitely contact Wendy, I promise you won't regret it.
In December 12/12/12 I had my Double Wedding (2 brides and 2 grooms) at the Hilton Carillon. Hands down it was the best decision I made! The Hilton Wedding Coordinator, Wendy Barat...
ta, made all the difference! From planning to day of, the Hilton was friendly, accommodating, and always willing to work with your budget and vision. My ceremony was outside and it was beautiful. The lake in the background was gorgeous and they had different areas to choose for the location. They even had an amazing space for the cocktail hour and set-up a gorgeous room for my reception. Even the hotel stay there was phenomenal. If you're looking for a great package/location/staff then this is the place to go!
I found the Hilton Carillon Park through my hairdresser that got married there last year, and I am so happy that I did. The hotel is beautiful! There are so many neat places to tak...
e pictures... the fountains (especially the front fountain/walkway at night), around the lake, and in the bar. It's tucked away and quiet because most of their business is during the week for corporate travellers and meetings. Even though there was another wedding there earlier in the day, I felt like the whole day was about me. Some of the other hotels in the area have 6 weddings in one day, many going on at the same time, but it was nothing like that at the Hilton Carillon Park. The outside patio where we had the ceremony was beautiful as well. Wendy Baratta, the coordinator, was amazing! I sent her so many e-mails, many asking her things I knew I already had in the past ("bride brain"), and she was so quick to respond back. She kept me on track throughout the planning process and was able to recommend some vendors for me. She also has a good reputation with the Tampa area wedding vendors. Many that I talked to knew who she was when I mentioned the Hilton Carillon Park and had great things to say about her. Wendy is also the day of coordinator, which was a huge help! I know I was a bit anal about how my place cards table, guest book table, etc were set up, but everything was perfect! She was there during the entire wedding and reception which also gave me peace of mind, though everything went off without a hitch! The food was great at the wedding. Many of our guests told me that after the wedding, which was a surprise since typically banquet food isn't anything to rave about. And the portions were huge! Although we were not present during the cocktail hour, I heard great things about the food displays and passed hors d'oeuvres. We also had a good-bye breakfast at the hotel restaurant the following morning and the breakfast buffet was excellent!
We had our ceremony and reception here on April, 15 2012. I was so impressed with all of the staff here. Everyone we encountered here was curteous, helpful and professional. The ev...
ent coordinator here, Wendy Baratta, was wonderful! She was very helpful and easy to work with. She was always pleasant and got back to me right away and was great at keeping in touch. The food was fantastic! My guests really enjoyed themselves as did my husband and I.
The nature preserve area makes a wonderful spot for some great photos too. Our day could not have gone smoother and I'm so glad that we chose this Hilton, it's definitely worth checking out and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
I blocked off rooms for our wedding one year in advance only to find out that they never informed me of a "cut off date" one month before our wedding. And to top it off the weekend...
of our wedding was the same as the St. Pete Grand Prix, so all the hotels in the area were overpriced and sold out, so some of my guests had to make alternative arrangements. Every time I called Lindsey Darin to get answers, she was never there and only after I left a message with her supervisor did she manage to call me back. And even after that when my wedding coordinator emailed her on the details for the guest pickup, she confused our guests with someone else! I do NOT recommend this vendor to anyone!
We are so happy with the service we had at the Hilton. The hotel itself is beautiful and has a great view of the boardwalks and lake. The hotel bar, Luna, was fun for all our guest...
s. The food there is great, the outdoor seating was a big hit for out of towners, and the staff is so friendly. The sales manager, Lindsey Darin, coordinated our group's reservations and kept me updated with bookings. The general manager, John Gilbertson, really went above and beyond all of our expectations, making the weekend so special for us and our guests. Would highly recommend!
I could not have asked for a better venue. The scenery was amazing and Wendy(the wedding coordinator was so helpful and very easy to get in contact with.
The Hilton was a gorgeous place to have my most special day. Not only is the hotel beautiful but so is the scenery. We got married in March and we did not need any flowers during...
the ceremony (outside) because of the greenery and flowers surrounding the hilton. The wedding planner, Wendy, helps with everything. I was constantly calling the check on things and she even invited me to preview the setup of other weddings so i could see firsthand how our wedding would be setup. The hotel also gave us a free night (with champagne) with our booking. Wonderful experience!!
The Hilton is an AMAZING location. Very convenient and the staff was incredible. Wendy the catering manager could not have been any better.
