    The perfect day, blown away by the Hilton!

    My daughter had originally planned to get married in Maui and COVID restrictions forced a change in venue. My daughter still had her heart set on a wedding near the beach and the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort did not disappoint. From beginning to end we were so happy we had our daughter's wedding at the Hilton Resort. Katie the Catering Sales Manager was so communicative and flexible both pre wedding and on the day itself when rain put a damper on the big day. The last minute switch to another location in the hotel was not disappointing in any way. Steve the banquet manager, Jenni the bartender (who our guests loved!), Edgar, Ali, Ramone, Postigo...I hope I haven't forgotten anyone because they all made our daughter's wedding a day we will never forget. The food was unbelievably good, not at all like standard banquet food. Guests raved about the appetizers, Mahi Mahi and Steak entrees. Hilton's open bar packages are reasonable for the quality and choice of beverages offered. We were able to do some of our own decorating and we appreciated the Hilton's willingness to let us do that. No one says the wedding day went perfectly but frankly with the Hilton I can truly say it was perfect in every way!

    Highly recommend!

    We had the best wedding at the Hilton in May 2021 - highly recommend!! We postponed from our original date in November 2020 and the hotel was extremely flexible. The hotel staff was going through some changes (furloughs, then turnover) during the pandemic (as was every venue) but they made every effort to maintain a high quality of service and open communication during that time - we never felt that our needs were not being met. Florida gave us beautiful weather for our destination wedding and we were able to have everything outside -- a pool party with a private area the day before the wedding (open bar and passed apps, a great idea for a welcome party!), the ceremony on the beautiful rotunda overlooking the ocean, reception on the BalQony and a brunch the next day! The food was excellent and the staff was great and very attentive the entire weekend. Location wise, our guests loved having the beach right across the street and plenty of nearby options if they wanted to explore the area. The guest rooms were recently redone and and the one-bedroom suite that we had for our stay was amazing. We and all of our guests had such a great time and will definitely be visiting the Hilton again!

    Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort's reply:

    Thank you Amy! Your wedding weekend was so much fun from start to finish! It was our honor to celebrate with you and John!
    Cheers,
    Katie Donahue

    Best wedding venue for sure!

    I am a perfectionist and the fact that my husband and I picked Hilton Ft Lauderdale Beach Resort - might be a special venue indeed! :) Rotunda is like a piece of paradise sent to couples to have a unique ceremony at. Besides breathtaking ocean view, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful to us and our guests. A special thank to Abigail, our event planner! She was very responsive and supportive from the beginning to the end organizing our wedding. Abigail made sure that our wedding went the way we wanted and it did indeed! Thank you Abigail for making our special day really special and flawlessly organized!

    September 17th we got married at the Hilton and like so many couples before us have said, it truly was the best day of our lives. We were originally supposed to get married on the 10th, but due to Hurricane Irma we had a change in plans. A week before we got married, the entire first floor of the hotel had been flooded, there were sea crabs on the front sliding doors, they had lost power for days and we were freaking out just a little bit. Not to mention A1A was entirely covered in sand from the surge so we couldn't even drive on it. By the time A1A opened back up and we were able to get to the hotel, we walked in to hundreds of fans and teams of employees cleaning up the hotel. I have to say we had our doubts, but we wanted to get married so we took the risk and secured the 17th. I am happy to say the Hilton, John Allan, Abigail and their entire team exceeded our expectations. They were communicating with us from 7am to sometimes 11pm, giving us updates and assuring us that they were taking care of everything. They really set our minds at ease. We originally chose this venue because we have shared so many happy memories such as staycations with family and even our engagement. We also selected the Hilton when Brittany was on board and we felt so comfortable that there wasn't a doubt in our minds that we were going to have our wedding there. Brittany left and Abigail came on board and I have to say that Abigail did an amazing job and took such good care of us. She went above and beyond! We had our wedding weekend at the hotel and all of our guests were treated like VIP. Every single staff member had a smile on their face, knew our names and were there for anything and everything we could possibly need. Considering what Florida had just been through, aside from the fans that were drying the carpets you would never know. Our wedding was a complete success! The food at the cocktail hour and reception was incredible! The service during dinner was timed

    I am absolutely over the top super satisfied with how the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort took care of my family, friends and guests for our Wedding Weekend. Brittany Manzie and the Hotel staff were exceptional and their service was definitely 5 Star and above!! My guests are still talking about it and look forward to to returning in the near future!

    We can't wait for our ANNIVERSARY!!!

    This hotel and the staff were AMAZING!!! Our whole wedding weekend was here at the Hilton and we received so many compliments from our guests. The location was perfect and there were so many activities for our guests that it was so convenient. The bridal suite was breathtaking! The room was spacious and gave us plenty of space to get ready with makeup and hair on our wedding day! The guest room rate was very fair especially given that it was Memorial Day Weekend. The entire staff were helpful and so accommodating to our needs. We were lucky enough to be married on the Rotunda Terrace outside at sunset! It was beautiful! The cocktail hour was on the BalQony and then our reception was at the ballroom. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

    I have to say that all of it couldn't have been amazing without the help of BRITTANY MANZIE- the catering manager at the property. She is the best hotel coordinator I have ever worked with and I have planned many corporate events at work. She was always responsive to our questions, and even gave us great suggestions was attentive to our needs throughout the whole weekend. She is the reason why we chose the Hilton and our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was if it wasn't for her. I highly recommend the property and make sure you choose the Rotunda Terrace vs. the pool for the outside ceremony. The pool was way more windy than the terrace! I am so glad we chose the terrace for the ceremony!

    I cannot say enough good things about this property! We had our whole wedding here and have received nothing but compliments. The location can't be beat - across the street from the beach, it's perfect for hosting guests because they have so many activities they can do on their own time, from water taxi to lounging by the pool. The bridal suite was gorgeous, the guest room rate was very fair especially given that Tortuga was the same weekend, the staff were all incredibly nice and even a minor technical issue was handled well. We were married in the ballroom with the ceremony poolside and the cocktail hour on the BalQony, and it was everything we had hoped for and more.

    Now on to the best part - BRITTANY. MANZIE. Brittany is the Catering Manager at this property and she may be an actual angel. From the first day of planning to the day of the wedding she was always there to answer questions, provide suggestions (programs? don't do it!) and be on call the day of the wedding in case we needed anything, and I mean anything! There was a bustle crisis in which my husband of 35 minutes stepped on the train and ripped it, but Brittany got a sewing kit and literally stitched it back together so the bustle would hold. She is an absolute asset to this property and the wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was without her being a part of it.

    Brittany Manzie and the entire staff at The Hilton are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our wedding was a dream come true- thanks to all of her help! From the day we met with her, she was extremely helpful, organized, and friendly. We felt like she cared just as much about our special day as we did! She was always quick to respond to emails (even when out of her office), eager to personalize menus for our guests, and very thorough when going over the details. We couldn't imagine planning a wedding without her expertise and suggestions!

    Things were a little hectic the day of our wedding (our DJ forgot a mic, we were running a little behind with our first-look pictures, etc.), but somehow Brittany was able to save the day! Our guests haven't stopped talking about the gorgeous scene and the unbelievable service. We were also well-taken care of by our personal server, Eliane, who is also AMAZING! Brittany and her staff went above-and-beyond, and we highly recommend booking any event with her!

    My husband and I are extremely happy we choose to have our February wedding reception at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach. The staff did all they could to ensure our Day was absolutely perfect! The cocktail hour venue balcony is amazing and really impressed our guests. The entire venue is clean and inviting which our out of town guests appreciated. It was a pleasure working with their catering manager Brittany. She is helpful and quick to respond. The food was also a highlight and multiple guests commented on how much they enjoyed their appetizers and meals. We definitely recommend hosting your wedding here, we want to do it all again!!!

    Hi Kelly,

    The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort was the perfect place to get married!! We got married in the new Routonda area and it was perfect for pictures with our circular seating. Catering Manager Brittany was great to work with and she definitely knows how to produce a smooth wedding. She was very responsive to my emails and communicated with me to make sure all the details were taken care of. On wedding day, Brittany took care of all the details and made sure that everything was running smoothly. We had total trust in her!! As part of our package we had a wonderful tasting with the chef to pick our menu for the wedding. All the food was great! We really loved having a personal server the day of the wedding. She made sure that my husband and I always had something to drink or had food to snack on. She was wonderful! Our stay at the Hilton was also great. All the staff was super friendly and very attentive to us and all our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are looking forward to staying there for our 1 year anniversary!

    I can not praise the Hilton enough for making our Wedding a beautiful fun day. The hotel is stunning and is all around the perfect venue. There was not one staff member there that was bad at their job. Brittany Manzie was there for us through the whole planning process and truly enjoys what she does and it shows! I felt like I was planning with an actual friend. She made the day amazing and beyond our expectations! Anthony was also a rockstar! He was there always sure that everything and everyone was in place. They didn’t just make the day perfect for us but also our families, friends, and vendors. I can’t thank them enough for being so helpful and patient for our vision for the day. The only thing that makes me sad is we can’t do it all again!

    We had a small wedding at the beach and stayed at Hilton (arranged this by ourselves). We had our wedding dinner at Ilios and the manager Philip Lafond was very responsive and attentive to our needs. It was a magical night and the staff was excellent!

    Words can not explain how AMAZING this location is! We had our wedding on the 6th floor over looking the pool which had an ocean view behind us. The staff is by far the best I have ever been around. Brittany was on top of everything from the day we signed our contract. If I needed anything she got the answer for me. The day of my wedding we misplaced the flower girls tiara, she heard we had lost it and offered herself to go to the local craft store to buy a new one. I also needed to get beach sand for our "Sand Ceremony" and told her I was going send my sister to run across the street to get some, she told me no and that she would run across herself to get it! This is just 2 things she did that day to make it less stressful for me as possible. I can not express how much I loved this place and how great they were to us!

    The Hilton was a beautiful hotel and venue. I fell in love with the view as soon as I walked onto the pool deck looking out at the ocean. However, the reception area was an enclosed banquet room which I was trying to avoid. However, I met Brittany (their event manager) who was very inviting and reassuring. She gave me a great feeling of confidence and was able to answer any questions I may have asked. Throughout the process she contacted when needed and everything was perfect. I would highly suggest NOT hiring a wedding planner if you just need it for the day because Brittany is the best! I wish I hadn't spent the money on my planner as she was not helpful at all and was a complete waste of money. The food was great and the people were polite. Brittany was very polite to my guests and to my husband and I. We also had a cabana the next day but it was too cold to enjoy so we are looking forward to going back at our 1 year anniversary as part of our wedding package to enjoy it all over again.

    Best wedding venue ever! Everyone at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach was so amazingly helpful, kind, and courteous! They made our wedding the most beautiful and stress-free day of our lives. Brittany Manzie was our main contact and all I can say is WOW. I literally could not have done my wedding without her. She was very responsive, helpful, and so so so kind. She was the calm presence when I needed it and a bull who would do whatever needed to get done! Anthony was also amazing on the day of our wedding! He was always there making the wedding ceremony and reception a very smooth process! The food at the Hilton is delicious and they really worked with us to create an outstanding dinner for our guests. The service is unmatched... there had to have been 80 people all working for our 95 person wedding making it the most smoothly run wedding I have ever been to. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend hosting your next big event at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach... best day of my life!

    WOW! The experience that we had with Brittany Manzie and the staff at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort was absolutely AMAZING and exceeded our expectations by far! Brittany went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and our wedding weekend was everything we ever dreamed of! She is much more than your average catering manager and cares as much as you do about making this the best day of your life! Guests raved about their rooms, the view, the food, and the service! As if that wasn't enough Brittany surprised us by upgrading our room to the penthouse suite! It was truly an amazing weekend thanks to everyone at the Hilton!

    Oh where do I start with the "A Team" from the Hilton on the beach....

    The New 4th Floor Terrace is awesome!!! We did our Ceremony and Cocktail there and it made our wedding feel like it was in the 6 figure + range but for a fraction of that cost... This Terrace is brand new so ask to see pics!!!

    Awesome Food - Fresh made with fresh premium ingredients... this was not bulk wedding food that most people get away with.... this is fine dining quality on every plate! People raved about the food.

    Wines were great.... So many times you go to a wedding and the drink options are sub par. Not here.... awesome reds and whites and even great beer selection...

    Brittany (wedding and events manager) was amazing and has a way of making you feel at ease with the planning throughout the whole process. She really just "gets it"... she was getting married the following weekend in Chicago and you would never know it unless she told us.

    Scott (F&B Director) is the man.... he made sure everything was perfect and I mean everything!

    The Hilton was the best. The ballroom transformed to the fantasy we wanted. The food was perfect but the catering manager, Brittany Manzie made the WHOLE event go off without a hitch and took all the stress you would normally have in planning a major event, away. I would recommend her for anything you are planning. There was nothing that we wanted that she didn't get done for us and always with her beautiful smile. The Hilton is so lucky to have her. She made the night as magical as it was.

    I would give the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort a 10 out of 5 if I could. I just got married there this past weekend and couldn't be happier. It was the best weekend of my life and I know it is mainly because of Brittany Manzie, the catering manager.

    We had a lot of guests flying in from out of town and they LOVED their hotel rooms and all of the restaurants, pools and amenities at the hotel.

    As for the actual wedding, Brittany made sure everything was under control and amazing the entire weekend. I was so calm and collected the entire time because I had 100% trust in Brittany that everything would be perfect, and it was. The food was AMAZING!!! I have never heard so many compliments about wedding food in my life.

    Our guests were raving about this wedding and I am SO glad I chose to get married here! I recommend the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort as a wedding venue 1000%.

    Our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and brunch were held at the Hilton. The wedding turned out so amazing and exceeded our expectations. Our ceremony and cocktail hour held by the pool terrace overlooking the ocean view made it look so beautiful and thanks to Brittany Manzie, the catering manager who was a pleasure to work with, made sure everything was flawless. The guests raved about how delicious the food was and were impressed with the top notch service from staff. We had many guests from up north who enjoyed the overall experience they had at the Hilton.

    My husband and I made four trips to the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort - three in preparation for our wedding and one for the wedding itself. I can say hands down that this is the nicest hotel I have stayed at in the United States & it is a BEAUTIFUL place to have a wedding.

    They executed our wedding perfectly (despite a last-minute change from an outdoor to an indoor space due to record rainfall!) This was a destination wedding for us, and we were well taken care of and so were our guests. I did not hear one complaint about the resort nor was anyone disappointed or unhappy with our wedding. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food, ambience, service, etc.

    The little extras that the hotel staff provided for my husband and I will never be forgotten - special gifts, notes, snacks, mimosas - you name it - they did it! They truly made our wedding that much more special by treating us like royalty!

    The service more than exceeds expectations. Every single staff member we encountered was pleasant, courteous, helpful and went the extra mile. Our guests felt the same way! The quality of the food as well as the niceness, newness, and cleanliness of the resort is unbeatable. 6 stars out of 5!!
