Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk

ely beautiful. The pier is public, but is blocked off for the ceremony, so it was wonderfully private. As for the reception in the Pier House, perfection. The food is delicious and the venue is very pretty inside. We had the pleasure of working with Peggy as our in-house coordinator. She kept in constant contact with us and made sure every detail was squared away. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking to have a wedding in the Outer Banks, definitely consider the Pier House!

took care of it right away. The Pier House is gorgeous and is very convenient for guests who like to party since they can book a room at the hotel. We are so happy that we chose the Pier House.

fool you into thinking that they provide a wedding coordinator when it’s really their sales manager who was very insincere. I had to tell her on 3 separate occasions that I wouldn’t be having a father daughter dance bc I lost my dad suddenly in a car accident just 7 months before my wedding. She made it feel like my wedding was a business meeting. You have to make the timeline and you have make sure your vendors know when and where to be. In house centerpieces are advertised but were never offered, discounted room rates are not a thing either (one of my friends called the hotel and didn’t ask for the group rate and told me the rate they gave her was cheaper than our room block). They also rented the board room out to me (after many turned down inquires about where my girls could get ready) then came back and said I couldn’t use it a month before my wedding because it was “being used for storage”. Then, on the day of my wedding it was almost 80 degrees and I was literally sweating my makeup off. I was MISERABLE and had to ask myself 2 times to have it addressed as well as 2 more times from 2 of my bridesmaids. Also I was not allowed to utilize the tiki bar when I stayed at the hotel and wasn’t given clear answers about using it for the guests that paid to stay there for my wedding. Even after all the wedding planning chaos, I STILL had problems after my wedding when I found that my wedding photos were shared to Instagram BEFORE my husband even got to see them (or anyone else for that matter). My officiant, who has become a dear friend of mine, found them online before I even got to share with him that I had them. This all happened within 10 MINUTES of me viewing them myself for the first time (which turned out to be a very emotional time for me). All to get online to see that Miha had already posted them distastefully with her own captions that didn’t even reflect me or the day in general. Literally, my “first look” photo has Miha in background with her camera phone even after a no cell phone announcement just so she could capture her next social media post. I could write a book about my experience at this hotel and with Miha and her colleagues. I just hope I save someone of the hassle and stress I dealt with leading up to my wedding day.

planned our wedding from Florida and had to reschedule our May wedding due to COVID. We both felt that everything was in great hands throughout this process. I felt that the Hilton did an amazing job helping us plan during the unforeseen times and did a fabulous job on our wedding day. Our wedding day went very smooth and everything was how I imagined it to be. I was very impressed with the staff and the food that was served was amazing! I had so many guests telling me how much they loved the food and enjoyed the entire wedding. We had a beautiful beach ceremony followed by a reception in the ballroom that we had chosen to decorate ourselves. Our wedding truly felt like a fairy tale and we were able to have our dream wedding at an affordable price!
