Hilton Columbus at Easton

We had the perfect wedding at the Hilton Easton! Our special day went perfectly thanks to their amazing staff!!! Pros and cons below. Pros - Prompt communication from sales staff! The entire staff is very friendly and accommodating. - Venue and guest rooms all in the same place! Traveling guests can save on transportation costs. - Food. 3 stars. Our guests loved it! Typical wedding food selections if you’re ok with that, but they have some variety to play around with. - Lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance for guests. Forgot a few things on wedding day so this came in handy! - Parking is free for guests in room block. Cons - $$$$ Price. Depending on guest count, this venue lands in the mid to high budget area. - Semi all-inclusive. Only food, cake cutting and small votives included. - It's a hotel, so consider foot traffic and other events can be booked on your date. - No airport shuttle. - No natural light in ballrooms (if you’re thinking about photos).

They did amazing throughout the whole process. We booked during COVID when the hotel was shut down and they gave us a private tour before we even booked with them. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful the hotel was, how delicious all the food was, and how friendly the staff were. We did not have to worry about a thing when planning for and enjoying our day.

The Hilton at Easton Town Center hosted our ceremony and reception. They did a wonderful job with set-up and took care of all the tear-down! They had great natural lighting from the windows in all the hallways for pictures as well!

Well, you know how you get what you pay for? With Hilton, expect to pay a lot...but to some extent it's worth it. Catering = 4 stars. Room Block = 2. We toured the Hilton just after the renovation and fell in love with the Regent Ballroom and foyer. It was the 9 "Beauty and the Beast" chandeliers that did me in. Adam Yezzi is a DREAM to work with. He kept me informed every step of the way, put on a fabulous menu tasting (good luck narrowing it down because everything is tremendous), and was so on it the day-of. We had minor snafus (as all weddings do) and Adam was fixing them before I even heard about them. He organized a wonderful meet and greet cocktail hour and day-after brunch, reusing centerpieces and decor from the reception. If you want to save on the day-of coordinator, Adam Yezzi is all you need. The room block, however, is another story. We worked with Joy and found out roughly 3 weeks out of the wedding that we were OBLIGATED to pay for any rooms in the block that went unused (rather than the hotel simply releasing them as all other hotels I professionally work with do). So imagine trying to wrap things up and getting an email that you are on the hook for another $6K-$8K for unused rooms. As we began cross-referencing the room list with our guest list and asking our guests about rooms, the Hilton was not giving us credit for a lot of rooms booked and several people were told that the block was full. We had begun handing out rooms to family that we thought we were already paying for but when push came to shove and all rooms were tallied, we actually met our requirement and didn't need to comp anyone's rooms, so we STILL paid more than we needed to. There were so many issues the weekend-of (not giving our guests welcome bags, more lost rooms, etc.) that it almost ruined the experience. What gets me most is that Joy had the audacity to tell my mother that she had informed me multiple times leading up to the wedding about the requirement and our status. When looking through ALL emails, she had reached out once 4 months before the wedding with a room block list (that was mostly empty given the invitations had just gone out) and the rest of the emails were me asking her for room block updates. This was frustrating.
