Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront Reviews

I would highly recommend having your wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn Oceanfront. My daughter had her wedding there a month ago, and I can’t say enough good things. With the ceremony on the 3rd floor balcony overlooking the beach, the venue couldn’t have been more perfect. Suzanne, the director of catering, was the best, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She bent over backwards to accommodate us, and made sure that everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious and the bartender was wonderful! Reviewed on 02-07-2023
Samantha Stahl(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2022 We had an amazing wedding experience (& stay) at the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront! Katelyn was by our side every step of the way and the rest of the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly! We had Mary as our Bartender for the night and she was amazing! The food was excellent, our guests told us multiple times! The venue was clean and beautiful- they recently put in new carpet and it matched our colors wonderfully! I am sad it's all said and done but so happy with our decision to be hosted by this venue! Reviewed on 08-06-2022

Joy B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-03-2022 Katelyn at the Hilton Garden Inn was AMAZING! She thought of every detail and really made our wedding day special. My only regret is that you get married only once, and we can't have another wedding with her! She planned everything so thoughtfully, and she even went above and beyond to help us last minute!

Patrick Cassley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2021 We had our wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn Oceanfront. It was a fantastic venue overall. Katelyn and her staff were so great and easy to work with throughout the whole process. The staff running the bars were friendly and great at keeping the guests entertained. The buffet and the cocktail hour appetizers were outstanding with all the guests talking about how they enjoyed it. The entire staff put together a beautiful reception room. They constantly checked on my wife and I throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. I’m so glad we chose them and couldn’t have had a more perfect evening. Reviewed on 29-10-2021
Heather Fieldman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-07-2020 Originally we booked with the Hilton in April of 2019. Lynell and her team was phenomenal with helping us through the process. Come March of 2020 there were a lot going on in the world that impacted many things. Well Wendy became our main point of contact and she helped work out everything and was completely flexible with making our day magical but also safe for the times. Wendy and the Hilton went above and beyond for us, the level of how they worked with us is unheard of. We absolutely loved Wendy! The service team was impeccable, Damien was phenomenal and so was Mary! We got so many compliments about the Hilton and guests felt taken care of and my husband and I felt like celebrities! The venue is gorgeous, everything turned out beyond perfect! The food was so good, we had tons of compliments on how yummy the dishes were from guests. The Hilton took care of everything! We had our rehearsal in the garden grill, ceremony in the sundeck and the reception in the ballroom. It was so nice to have the board room rented out too, we had appetizers out in there by the service team. We even highly enjoyed the suite room for our stay, perfect also for getting your bridesmaids hair and makeup done because it was so spacious. We had the time of our life and the Hilton was exceptional! This is a top notch venue with the best service team you’ll ever find. Special shout out to Damien and Mary! You will not find people as caring and accommodating as them. Reviewed on 23-07-2020
Danielle Robusto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2018 We had a great experience! Our wedding reception area was beautiful! Everyone loved standing on the balcony during the cocktail hour. The ballroom was the perfect size for my 120 guests. The staff was wonderful, the bartenders were so fun! Lynell and Katelyn were wonderful during the whole process! Reviewed on 17-09-2018
Katie Mounce(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2018 The Hilton Garden Inn at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Lynell and her team were incredible to work with and we will always be grateful for everything they did to help make our wedding day so magical. My fiance (now husband! :) ) and I began our venue search a little over a year before we wanted to get married. We knew we wanted our reception to be on the oceanfront, so we made a few appointments with different hotels in June 2017. The HGI was our first stop and it should have been our only stop. None of the other hotels could compete with the views and friendly staff at the HGI. After talking with Lynell and getting the tour of the hotel rooms, banquet hall, and cocktail hour area (complete with gorgeous balcony), we knew we had found what we were looking for. Lynell was professional and SO helpful throughout the entire process. She reached out to us when needed, and was quick to answer any emails we sent her way. We loved and appreciated her attention to detail (ex: writing down both of our preferred drinks during a casual conversation, only to find them waiting for us at our head table. :) ). If you want a gorgeous venue with a passionate staff, save yourself a lot of time and book the Hilton Garden Inn at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront today. :) Lynell, thank you and your team so much for all you did to help make July 14, 2018 so spectacular. --Katie and Brett M.

Allyson Taylor(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-06-2018 When I first started looking at wedding venues online, I reached out to several via email to try to set up appointments. Everyone sent me a form email back and some never responded. When Lynell received my inquiry, she called me directly and from that moment, I knew that we would have our wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn VB Oceanfront. She listened to every detail I wanted to include, made suggestions and recommendations, stayed in contact with me through every step of planning, and went above in beyond in making our day perfect. Our ceremony was on the sun deck which was shaded and breezy by our 5PM start. The staff had all of the deck furniture cleared out and our chairs arranged. The catering team and the wait staff that served our guests at dinner were phenomenal. Miguel, Mike, and Mary (one of the Bartenders) have incredible customer service skills and they genuinely care about the people they are serving. And the food ... our guests are still telling us how much they loved their meals! Our day couldn't have been anymore perfect! Thank you, Lynell and everyone at the HGI VB Oceanfront!

Amber Pilcher(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-06-2018 We had our ceremony and reception at the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront last weekend and it was AMAZING!! We met with Lynell more than a year and a half ago and from the very first meeting, she was professional, transparent and super sweet! She laid out all of our options and we loved the customization of this venue! When we left our first meeting, me and my now husband knew this was the place that we wanted to get married. Throughout the process Lynell, Katelyn and Kara were so responsive to all of our emails and they were always so pleasant on the phone. I loved that they were just as excited for our wedding day as we were. Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect! Though the rain wouldn't allow us to have the ceremony outside on their beautiful sun deck, the staff transformed the ballroom into a beautiful ceremony space! More than I could have ever dreamed of! Lynell made sure to check on us during the night which we really appreciated! All of the staff that night including Damien, David & Patrick were on point!! Plus they were so much fun and enjoyed our wedding as much as we did!! We cannot thank Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront enough for all of their help, time and patience! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Reviewed on 29-06-2018
Maizel Lacson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-11-2017 The Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront was everything I could ever hope for in a wedding venue. I had toured several venues prior to visiting Lynell at the Hilton Garden Inn but none really felt right. It didn't matter though, because the minute I walked into the Hilton Garden Inn, I just knew. Everything about the Hilton Garden Inn is perfect. The view is breathtaking and the hotel itself is beautiful, and my guests are still raving about the crab cakes and filet mignon. But what I loved most was the staff. I cannot say enough about how accommodating Lynell and her staff were during the entire process. Thank you so much for being so caring and friendly from start to finish! Reviewed on 11-12-2017
Lynn P(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-12-2018 I am the mother of the groom and can't say enough about this venue. They were so accommodating. The appetizers and the food were delicious. The wait staff and bartenders were very attentive and the wedding coordinators went out of their way to make this a really special occasion. I wish we could have a do over!! Reviewed on 19-10-2017
Angela J(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-07-2018 The venue and the view is gorgeous. We had an evening wedding reception on May 21, 2017. Hope and all of the staff made sure our event was perfect. I loved how the space was intimate and we did not have to share the floor with any other event. Certain hotels book several events at the same time but this is not the case here. The food was amazing! Our guests had a wonderful time and so did we! Reviewed on 26-05-2017
katherine Brady(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2017 The Hilton Garden Inn staff and venue itself were so perfect and accommodating. We could not have picked a better place for our ceremony and reception. The ceremony was beautiful and intimate even though the sun deck is kind of narrow, all our guests loved the view, and the atmosphere. The ballroom looked like something out of a magazine when it was all decorated! It was perfect! The staff was super helpful everyone from the catering coordinator, front desk to the housekeeping staff. The catering staff was also excellent and went above and beyond to make the groom and myself happy! No body missed a single detail the entire weekend! And the food was delicious, I'm pretty sure all our friends will be talking about the amazing mac and cheese for a while! Reviewed on 22-05-2017

Scott Laske(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2017 Veronica Strangis and her entire team were incredibly helpful and professional. Every single person the the staff was exceptional. Even the fromt desk staff accommodated some off the wall requests from some of our family members and guests, taking pictures for them and even with them. The food was excellent and every detail was exactly what we had asked for. Veronica went above and beyond in helping to offer suggestions since we were wedding novices. She also helped us plan and coordinate our rehearsal dinner in a different location inside the hotel with a lovely, eclectic menu. We loved being able to have our ceremony outside on the 3rd floor sundeck. The Hilton Garden Inn Oceanfront is an excellent choice, and we have already recommended it to others. The staff made our wedding memorable and special. Reviewed on 18-10-2016
Michaela Misher(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2014 This place is amazing. The staff is very professional and handled every detail perfectly. Food and service are top of the line.

Molly Bowser(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-04-2015 I was a little bit skeptical about using a hotel at the oceanfront for our wedding reception. However, we couldn't be more pleased with how everything went with our wedding. The staff was top notch and went above and beyond the call of duty. Veronica, the catering manager, was extremely accommodating. We had asked about having my husband's favorite beer as one of our choices for the bar. It was only available on tap at the time so she made sure that there was a pitcher of it just for my husband. It was little touches like this that made us really appreciate the venue and their staff. The servers were professional and made extra attempts to make the evening special and memorable. The food was absolutely amazing. Months later I still have people telling me about how much they enjoyed the short ribs on our buffet (trust me - they are that good). We are so glad that we chose to have our reception at the Hilton Garden Inn VB Oceanfront! Reviewed on 28-07-2015
