My sister was married here a few weeks ago. Venue, service, food and attention to detail was over the top! Kelly made everything so easy and seamless from the beginning to the end. You could tell she has been doing this for a long time and made so many helpful suggestions during the planning process that we would have never thought of. The included decorations and photo booth were awesome. Kelly was there keeping everything on my sisters timeline on time from the ceremony to cake cutting and dismissed all the tables at dinner. The staff even helped keep their dessert table full even though we brought our own desserts and thought that I was going to be in charge of keeping it full- More dancing time for me!! My sister and her new husband loved every minute of their time at the Barn. Thank You Kelly and staff for an amazing day for my sister and our wedding party who all got to enjoy the day and didn't have to do much but celebrate the bride and groom!

She made the incredibly stressful situation of planning a wedding, an absolute breeze. She is such a loving and caring woman who truly wants her brides to have the day of their dreams and WILL make sure that your day is everything and more. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful she is and how thankful I am that we had her to help us with planning our wedding and coordinating our day.

Having our wedding at Old Hickory was the single best decision my husband and I made throughout the planning process. I cannot overstate how excellent their team, facility, and service is! We fell in love with the beautiful scenery and amenities onsite, but Jen and her team made the experience even more special. Every detail was handled with such care - from the tasting, to our rehearsal, to the day of for our ceremony and reception, we didn’t have to lift a finger. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything was set up perfectly.  One example of just how above-and-beyond our experience was: our guests noticed that while they went up to get dinner at the buffet, their napkins were folded and table places were reset when they came back to their seats. I saw Jen personally go around to each table and do this while dinner was served! Those small details make such a difference, and all our guests noticed and appreciated the top tier service. The food is also excellent - we received so many compliments, especially on the twice baked mashed potatoes! I truly would not change a thing about our experience. From getting ready in the bridal suite onsite, having our ceremony in the beautiful trees, driving a golf cart into the sunset while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio, to dancing the night away, every moment of our day was perfect. We cannot thank Old Hickory, Jen, and her team enough for making it the wedding day of our dreams. I 100% recommend booking with them!!

When we were looking for a reception hall for our 10/10/20 wedding way back in 04/19 we chose Orlando’s. For the price it’s a great value. Then we did the food tasting and we felt great about our choice. The food was wonderful! Next came Covid...throughout the process Mike and Laurie made sure to listen to our concerns and they had a great sense of humor along the way. Our reception was the least stressful part of the whole day and if I could give them 6 stars I would!

The Hilton delivers it all! We loved that their wedding package includes catering, bar, tables, chairs, linens/etc., which really reduced some of the wedding planning stress. (They do allow couples to rent their own if they have a different vision.) Also, their event coordinators are very experienced and gave great recommendations in planning and in managing the day of the event. We truly enjoyed our day because the team at the Hilton Frontenac was handling everything so wonderfully! Our guests loved that they could stay in the same place as the wedding reception, and everyone reported having a great stay with the hotel. As bride and groom, we loved being able to go right upstairs to change shoes, etc. We even had leftover wedding cake brought up to our room which was a real treat! In addition to the wedding reception, we hosted our rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch at the Hilton. True to form, they did an amazing job, and the convenience factor really added to an enjoyable experience! The Hilton Frontenac can do it all! They have practically everything you need for your wedding planning and their team executes it expertly. Some people say that their wedding day flies by because there is so much going on. Because of the amazing staff and experience provided by the Frontenac Hilton, we truly enjoyed every minute of our day! We recommend them wholeheartedly!!!
