    The Hilton Wilmington/Christiana was incredibly helpful and insightful throughout our wedding planning process. The venue was spacious and welcoming, putting our out-of-state families at ease with the ease of service they provided. The team went above and beyond to make our special day run smoothly, and we were thrilled with the exceptional value we received. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue - the Hilton Wilmington/Christiana truly exceeded our expectations in every way.

    As a wedding DJ that entertains quite a number of times a year I can whole heartedly say that Christiana Hilton is always on top of their game. Multiple options for the ceremony, two beautiful rooms, and best part - everyone can stay on site - but not before hitting the lobby bar for the after party! You can not go wrong.

    The Christiana Hilton is a lovely venue nestled in a convenient location just off I-95. I have had the pleasure of working with them for more than 25 years and too many weddings to count. I wish it was as easy to say one thing that makes them stand out, but I truly think I would be selling them short if I did. You see, It isn't just a lovely venue that's not too big or too small, It isn't the beautiful courtyard ceremonies or the experienced, friendly staff. It isn't even the fact that after your dream day unfolds perfectly, you can simply use your key card and enter your room for the perfect ending to the perfect day. The fact is, it's ALL OF THESE THINGS COMBINED! Katie and her staff love making dreams become a reality. They have all the bases covered and will knock it out of the park for you. Being in the wedding business for over 35 years, I get to see love at it's best every weekend and I know when a vendor is just phoning it in or they truly care. Trust me when I say you will be in good hands at the Christina Hilton --- They truly care!!!!! Let your dreams become a reality - Call Katie today.

    Choosing to have our wedding at the Hilton was the best decision we could have made. With their all-inclusive packages, it takes the stress out of planning a big event. Katie the wedding coordinator, was so professional throughout the entire process. She always responded in a timely manner and answered all of my questions leading up to the event which made me feel at ease. What else can I say other than we had the best night of our lives! Decor was put together beautifully, food was great, and service was wonderful. Guests had many positive things to say and I will be recommending this location to others in the future. Thank you again to Katie and the staff at the Hilton/Christiana!
