The Waterfront Beach Resort, a Hilton Hotel

g and fantastic amenities. We worked with Vanessa throughout the near-entirety of our time coordinating with the Waterfront Beach Resort, and Vanessa was incredible at being very responsive to our numerous emails and meticulously answering each question in detail. She helped work through the many nuances and details of our wedding, which included a tea ceremony component during the early afternoon in addition to the ceremony and reception. The one slight hiccup occurred the week of our wedding, when we were told that Vanessa would be on vacation the weekend of our wedding, and Nancy and Semrin would be taking over. Unfortunately, there were some details that were not completely conveyed through, so the morning of the wedding did feature some stressful last-minute reminders to correct a few detail items. However, ultimately, Nancy and Semrin came through and helped make the day a wonderful experience (Semrin even get us into the rooftop bar for some wedding party photography before it opened to the public). Our wedding ceremony at the Vista Lawn and the reception in the Coastal Ballroom were beautiful, and our whole set-up was super well organized and convenient. Our guests also raved about the fantastic food throughout the evening, from the hors d'oeuvres to the main courses to the ice cream sundae bar and taco bar we had. The bar staff was also super attentive with making sure we had beverages when we needed them. Overall, we have zero regrets about going with the Waterfront Beach Resort and are so thankful for their part in making our memory one to remember for the rest of our lives!

EVERY question we had. Due to covid, we had to change venues. And we are so glad we did! Since we already had a vision in mind, Angie helped us transfer that image, and more at the waterfront. We had specific demands such as a white stage, acrylic tables, white dance floor, etc. Angie worked with my planner and us to find us the best vendors and, helped us find the best bang for our buck. We also had a budget that we tried to stay within. Angie & the Waterfront team worked with us to stay within budget and still give us the wedding of our dreams. The food was AMAZING! We had our guests choose between the braised short ribs and salmon. Till this day our guests are still telling us about how amazing the food was. I’m hoping we can go back just to eat the meals. We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the waterfront. Now, when I tell you they have amazing service, I mean AMAZING! At the rehearsal, I always had a drink in my hand because the team always made sure I had one. They want you to feel comfortable and at ease. At the wedding reception, same thing! I never had to go to the bar because there was always a drink handed to me. When we checked into the hotel the night before, Angie not only got us the best suite so my bridesmaids and I could get ready in and then stay in the night of, but also she sent over drinks and snacks for us! She also had this worked out the night of the wedding! The service was so unexpected and just impecable. Even when I was stressed because we had a lot of items to drop off at the venue before our rehearsal, Angie just came with her team and took care of everything. Overall, I give Angie and the Waterfront team a 10/10. If you want a venue with amazing service, is very knowledgeable about the wedding industry, has amazing connections, and an overall BEAUTIFUL landscape, then the waterfront is the place to be ☺️ Thank you Angie and the Waterfront team! If we could have our wedding all over again we would!

had amazing help from Angie and had the wedding of our dreams. Angie is very understanding and helpful she is what you need when planning your wedding at the Hilton! If your thinking about having your big day at waterfront ask for Angie.

t as we had envisioned. We worked with Angie as our coordinator and she is truly the best! She was easy going and fun to work with and made the planning process as seamless as possible, especially since we live out of state. She really listened to our wants and needs and helped us find a package that was perfect for our guests. Many guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and the food was incredible! We could not have had a better experience at the Waterfront Beach Resort!

ause it was impossible to host a reception with 300+ guests inside the Breakwater Ballroom. Our guest list was cut in half to abide by the guidelines. We were lucky to have worked with Vanessa, the Catering Director. She accommodated us and kept us informed as Orange County was going through the lock down and then the reopening phase. We were able to pull off a COVID wedding safely with the assistance of our Wedding Coordinator and the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort staff. Our banquet tables were set up in the Vista Lawns overlooking Huntington Beach. The weather was perfect that day except for a light breeze. Heat lamps were in use for the evening hours. Dinner was served with the sunset in the backdrop. My husband and I were overjoyed to have had our wedding celebration at this beautiful venue. If you want an elegant atmosphere but not too posh then this hotel/resort is the perfect choice! Thank you for making our special day more than memorable!

bration. Angie and Nancy at the hotel were a huge help to the planning of our wedding and made it run so smoothly. If you are thinking about having your wedding here, I would say do it!

g with us and did a great job working through the changing rules & regulations. We got married in the Vista Lawn and felt we had our perfect fairytale wedding with the ocean view and twinkle lights. Both Nancy & Angie were amazing to work with and so accommodating from the first time we met. Also, our wedding guests all raved about the food! HIGHLY recommend this wedding venue!

onique Atwell(A Signature Wedding), were extremely helpful and positive throughout the entire process of planning and execution! Church, the Banquet Manager was incredibly supportive and made my husband and I feel very special on the day of the wedding! I HIGHLY recommend this Hotel/staff for your big day! If they can provide great, professional service, and accommodate during a pandemic while being short staffed, I can't imagine how amazing they would be during normal times! :)

Lounge at the Waterfront for the reception and it was just an amazing time for us! Thank you so much Vanessa for being there for us and celebrating our daughter's wedding!!

Waterfront was amazing to work with and our wedding couldn’t have happened without her. Thank you Vanessa for all your hard work you are awesome! We will be back at the Waterfront!

redible...and did it all in TWO WEEKS!! They went above and beyond to ensure our intimate micro wedding was a success and special. We felt valued and heard throughout our two week planning process. Angie and her team made sure our wedding ran smoothly and handled everything! We cannot recommend them enough!

tel overlooking the Beach with great food along with professional service... look no further, the Waterfront is the place. We highly recommend the venue and their staff. Eric Morales Extreme DJ Service

was the Waterfront Beach Resort by Hilton. Their location is phenomenal and the roof top bar provides incredible views for short gatherings before and after all your wedding weekend plans. From our first initial contact to inquire, we got a speedy response from Angie who provided a lot of information to get ahead of any questions we had. The entire process from start to finish was always on point, and we reached out to Angie and her team and always got a rapid response back. Food and service were above standards expected and was displayed beautifully and equally delicious. Our guests said that this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. Thank you so much to Angie and all of the Hilton staff for making this the best day and weekend celebration of our lives!

One staff member was especially thoughtful. She saved dessert plates for us coz she knew as parents we had not had a chance to eat them. She made sure we got our share at the end of the night. They even saved the numerous flower arrangements overnight in the fridge for me. Everyone was very supportive and worked through every detail going above and beyond their call of duty. Minor issues with room allocations were handled well. And all our numerous requests right from luggage delivery, goody bag delivery, to saving flower arrangements were all handled well with a smile. We had a lot of rooms, over 350 guests, delayed and cancelled flights, so you can imagine the kinds of issues the staff had to deal with. They came through marvelously ! Our guests are still raving about the wedding and the location. It was truly a magical weekend. Kudos to the Waterfront Hotel and Staff.

ce. The Waterfront had an amazing view of the Pacific which gets even better at sunset. Angie Florence, the catering manager, was extremely professional. During wedding planning, we've exchanged hundreds of emails and Angie was always there to assist. Angie was highly knowledgeable about the wedding industry. In addition, she was flexible and very easy to work with. Not only was Angie organized with dates and payments, she also contributed numerous unique ideas that were invaluable to our wedding experience. Aside from the beautiful location of the Waterfront Beach Resort, Angie and her team really made the wedding planning period less stressful and our wedding day memorable. The high quality food and service was also amazing. They provided a large selection of items to choose from as well as including wine experts for pairing. Our guests loved the hors d'oeuvres and entrees. The pricing was reasonable and we definitely recommend the Waterfront as a prime wedding location.

atered" food could taste this good. Our guests were stunned by the beauty of the venue and catering service. We were amazed by the venue's flexibility to our needs and true dedication. This by far was the best choice I could've made for a reception hall.

g, the Waterfront continued to provide stellar service that exemplified their professionalism and experience in weddings. I compared them to other venues and what you get for the price is no comparison. My dad was in contact with them as well throughout the process and was so impressed with it all that he thanked them during his Father of the Bride speech. As for the actual planning and communication, our point person was Angie Florence. She expertly handled questions/emails from myself, my mom, and my dad, keeping us all informed in perfect coordination with our wedding coordinator. I felt 100% confident going into the wedding day that she and the Waterfront would deliver. And boy did they!!!!! The Waterfront is perfectly located on PCH in Huntington Beach where guests could enjoy the beach and the nearby restaurants and bars. The Vista lawn was STUNNING for the ceremony! I couldn’t have envisioned a more romantic, beautiful setting to have my dream wedding. All of the guests raved about the ceremony, the cocktail hour that faced the ocean, and the Coastal ballroom that fit 150 perfectly. If you are looking to actually enjoy the food at a wedding, the Waterfront is probably the only venue you should consider. As an Italian bride who had been to dozens of weddings before my own, I honestly set my expectations low. I told myself that no one enjoys wedding food so that I wouldn’t be disappointed. Fast forward to our buffet and we had guests coming up to our families to specifically tell them that the food was amazing. Even my chef-aunt, an educated critique, told me she was impressed with the food. They made me an entire fresh plate of ravioli after photos!!! The Waterfront does absolutely whatever they can to make the couple and their families happy. They go over and above to make sure they have everything exactly how you want it, and most importantly they are so nice about it! If you want a perfect beach wedding on all levels, book it!! THANK YOU Angie and the rest of the Waterfront staff for a magical wedding that was as organized as it was beautiful. You guys are the best!

whole planning experience collaborative and enjoyable. The wedding day went off without a hitch and my guests gave us so many compliments on the wedding, the food and their experience with Indian weddings made the process fun! I would highly recommend this location for the ceremony and reception.

a drink in hand and always knew what was next on the docket for our reception. Also, our bartender remembered every one of our guests' drink of choice after they had only ordered once! Overall, the staff at the Waterfront Hilton helped our day to go off without a hitch...well, besides our getting "hitched", of course!

ed with wedding planning but Angie helped keep me calm and collected. On the day of, everything went smoothly and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! All my guests raved about the food and gushed about how beautiful the wedding is. I would highly recommend this venue, especially if their new spaces opened up!

h was a big factor in our decision to have our wedding here. Most of our guests stayed at the hotel (half and half between the two towers). Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the weekend. We had family and friends traveling from out of state so this was a great spot to enjoy a vacation for them. I cannot say enough praise for the entire staff here as well as our other vendors- most of whom we selected from the preferred vendor list provided. It was an absolutely perfect day and weekend and I highly recommend this location to anyone looking to get married in Southern California. We will definitely be returning to stay here again and relive the memories of our wedding weekend.

first weddings at this beautiful venue because it is going to be one of the top places to have a wedding in Orange County. So many of our friends and family inquired about the hotel after our wedding. Our banquet hall is a big space but didn’t give the feeling of being too big. I am super picky about details but I loved every part of the room. The chandeliers and mirrored walls give it a modern yet elegant touch. I didn’t need to drape the hall, I felt that the walls gave it character. Our cocktail hour was on the new, gorgeous lawn. Our guests enjoyed cocktails and hor d oeuvres beside a water fountain and of course a view of the ocean. It was breathtaking and perfect for pictures. We worked with Angie Florence, the Catering Manager at the hotel. Angie and her team were so on top of it! They were so helpful and attentive throughout the whole process, asking questions, responding to emails and doing everything possible to make sure the day ran smoothly. And it did. I couldn’t have asked for a better staff. The Hilton Waterfront was the perfect place for our wedding and I am so happy with our decision.

the many room check ins & I cant thank the night security manager enough, we had a huge issue with our vendor who was supposed to drop off the car for the entrance/exit & the staff helped us call hotels all around checked in with us multiple times to the point where the manager felt so horrible for our situation went home switched cars with his wife and came back with a convertible for us!!! Let me tell you CUSTOMER SERVICE ON POINT!!! Value got marked down because there were hiccups that occurred with construction that made us feel like the rate should of been decreased a bit for the inconvenience , flexibility well because like any hotel venue nickel & dime for every little thing even when it was a set up from the same vendors that were already approved. Overall the feeling of getting married at waterfront was nothing but amazing and still feels like a fairy tale when I see the pictures!

we have received quality service. When we first toured the venue, there was a complimentary champagne waiting for us in our room, and honestly that's probably one of the reasons why we picked them! Right off the bat, they gave me the impression that they are organized and that is very important to me. We did not hire a wedding planner for our wedding, but it didn't seem like I needed one since Vanessa was very responsive and helpful the entire time. They took very good care of us. We really felt like a VIP at Hilton that weekend! The minute we parked our car for valet, we were immediately recognized by the staff. They knew us by name! They really made us feel special. We were legit VIPs while we were there. The place is beautiful! If you are one of those Instagrammers, this place has a lot of 'gram opportunities (they have nice interiors!). They have expanded the place and it had gotten so much better. I promise you won't be disappointed! I am so glad we picked this venue. I highly recommend this for a wedding, or for any event, due to their outstanding service. Every single one of their staff is so nice, helpful and very professional.
