Thank you for fulfilling all of our dreams and expectations! We are receiving so many compliments that bring us joy and excitement that our guests loved it all just as much as we did! Thank you to Jocelyn and all of the Hilton Garden Inn Staff from the bottom of our hearts!

, our event manager and staff were welcoming, professional and genuinely invested in our event. The space was set up beautifully, the food was excellent, and the service was attentive and outstanding. It allowed us not to worry and just enjoy the evening with our guests. Additionally, we had many family members from out of town which made the HGI convenient for overnight accommodations. We were so pleased with everything and highly recommend the venue!

From the beginning of the planning process to seeing the wedding all the way through, everyone was such a huge help. We had all of our wedding events at the hotel including the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, after party and brunch and it all was perfect. The rooms, the food and every detail were great. We can not say enough great things about it here and would 100% recommend getting married here!

g that the staff set up! My guests also RAVED about how good the food was.. they said they always feel like they leave weddings hungry but not at mine! The portions were so big and the food was cooked to perfection. Outdoor ceremony space was gorgeous, and the Greene Room that we got ready in was so modern, chic, and fit me and my 13 girls so comfortably! I just got my pictures back and they look great both at the ceremony space and also overlooking Southpointe. 10/10 recommend HGI SP for a good time, good food, and awesome pics!

we enjoyed every second of our special day!

entive, and the price point was very reasonable. I would highly recommend this venue!

and taken care of immediately and the venue assure everything was how we wanted it. Head staff was constantly checking and assuring we were taken care of even providing us drinks before we even asked. Honestly helped us focus on being with our guests! Not only was the staff and service wonderful, the food was fabulous with graciously large proportions !! All of our guests have raved about how wonderful everything was ! The Hilton Garden really does make visions come to life and made our wedding perfect in so many ways.

detail of our day was well thought out and organized. Kellyn and her team even went above and beyond to help us livestream a video reception entrance. Our guests have all told us how beautiful our venue was- and we cannot forget to mention our delicious the food was!!!

erful throughout the whole weekend. Kellyn, the event coordinator made our wedding dreams come true. She was prompt in all her email responses and answered any and all questions we had. We even had some guest number issues leading up and she truly eased that stress from us. Day of, she was around for any of our needs and made sure the reception was set up perfectly. Kellyn communicated with our other coordinator effectively. The hotel food was incredible. We had a hard time deciding when we went for our food tasting. All of our guests enjoyed their meals, especially the ravioli appetizer! All of the wait staff was around and timely as they tended to guests. All the bartenders were fabulous as well. Although we didn't have our ceremony there, our guests got to enjoy the outdoor garden area, and we got to take our photos there. The Hilton Garden is a must book wedding venue!

mpressed with Carolyn on our tour that in the middle of the tour my husband told me “we have to book this, it’s perfect and she’s phenomenal”. Carolyn was amazing to work with. She actually went on maternity leave about 2 months prior to my wedding and I was a little worried but she was replaced with Lizzie who was just as amazing as Carolyn. They both always answered my emails within 24hrs and planned when all of our meetings prior to the wedding would be. Even the food tasting was organized and well run. Carolyn and Lizzie handled everything with my vendors on what time to bring stuff, where to set stuff up etc. It made the wedding week so much less stressful not having to worry about that stuff. Also on the day of the wedding, all the servers, bartenders etc were awesome. Our guest still talk about how great the service was, how good the food tasted and overall just how beautiful the day was. I couldn’t imagine having our reception anywhere else and I would highly recommend having your reception here. If you want a stress free, easy planning, and to have an event coordinator who is phenomenal to work with, this is the place!

the whole planning process that much easier. Specifically, Kellyn and Lizzie were very helpful for our big day! They are amazing at communicating and are always ready if you have any questions.

but also got ready there before our ceremony. The Greene room is gorgeous and very comfortable for preparing for the big day. The ballroom was beautiful and the food was delicious!! Highly recommend having your wedding here!!!

d communicated effectively with all our vendors. Her expertise and experience were evident throughout the planning process, and she made sure everything was executed flawlessly on the wedding day. She has a keen eye for making sure all the details and decor flowed effortlessly with what we had in mind. We can't thank Kellyn enough for all her hard work and encouragement on our day. We highly recommend Kellyn and the HGI staff to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding coordinator and venue.

layed an exceptional level of professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our vision. Planning a wedding can be super overwhelming, but Kellyn made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly organized, always available to answer our questions, and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. Her creativity and problem-solving skills were evident as they handled every challenge with grace and ease. On the day of our wedding, Kellyn, Lizzie and their team executed everything flawlessly. We were able to relax and enjoy our special day, knowing that everything was in capable hands. Our guests were raving about how beautiful and seamless the event was, and we owe it all to Kellyn and Lizzie!! If you’re looking for someone who is not only a top-notch professional but also a kind and compassionate individual who truly cares about making your day unforgettable, look no further than Kellyn. We highly recommend them to any couple looking to have a stress-free, magical wedding day. Even my check in was an exceptional experience with the front desk, they were so kind and prompt to assist me! Thank you, Kellyn, Lizzie and team at Southpointe Hilton, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

ing job the day of keeping everything on track and making sure everything was perfect! The entire staff was very attentive and kind! The food was amazing! Definitely an amazing place for any event!

nt above and beyond expectations. They even helped us figure out wedding dress situations the day of. 10/10 would recommend.

med of. Thank you again Kellyn and HGI Southpointe!

this place and her! When touring venues, my husband said everything was nice if it was what I wanted. Until we toured the HGI Southpointe, mid tour he said this is it and I finally got a reaction out of him! Carolyn is so talented at her job. She is very upfront about what they have to offer, answers calls and emails quickly, and so reassuring. She schedules meetings with you to touch base and run through everything multiple times to make sure its right. You drop off your décor the week of and she organizes it, so that its not a worry in the days leading up to the Wedding! Day of- she stopped by our getting ready room to assure me everything was handled and make sure I didn’t need anything. She even remembered that I loved High Noons, and even though we did not select them for our bar, she showed up with one at the reception for me! With some issues with our external day of coordinator, I did not have one worry in the world because I knew I trusted Carolyn and her staff with everything in me and that if anything happened or wasn’t how it was supposed to be, she would fix it. She even showed up and helped bustle my dress! She made me feel so special and important. You need to ask for her!! I don’t recommend that you need a day of coordinator when you have her. The food... my guests are still raving about the food. From the food tasting- the chef came out to personally introduce himself and tell us about the plates he prepared for us. They were fully customizable, and he said he would make us anything we wanted. Their food was out of this world, and they box it up and send it to your room for after the reception. The bartenders and reception staff were also amazing, so kind, and constantly checking in to see what we needed! Photos of the venue speak for itself, but it is even more beautiful in person. We also had after party pizzas at Jacksons attached, and they were delicious!

free and seamless. She is so sweet and truly loves her job. She made herself available at all hours of the day & night to answer any question and did everything she could to make our day perfect! 10/10! Looking back, I would choose this venue over and over.

at check in to the bartenders and catering staff, were so amazing and went above and beyond for us at every step of the way. The bartenders were so friendly and served drinks promptly. The food was amazing! Service was quick, even for 200 people, and our guests are still talking about how good everything was. The venue was so accommodating to any allergies/dietary restrictions we gave them. HGI made the process of dropping off decorations, cookies, and other wedding day items so easy. The staff played a huge role in setting up all our decor and it was beautiful! We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather on our big day and held our ceremony outdoors. The outdoor ceremony location is so beautiful. There are also so many beautiful locations for pictures in and around the hotel! The staff at HGI made the entire planning process so easy for us. The event coordinator we worked with, Carolyn, was the deciding factor in choosing between our final 2 venues. She is AMAZING. She was there to answer every question we had, make recommendations, and every meeting we had with her went so smoothly. Having Carolyn there to help us throughout the planning process and on the big day helped relieve so much stress for us, we knew she would do everything in her power to make things go smoothly. Overall, we are SO happy with the decision we made to have HGI as our venue. We HIGHLY recommend this venue for anyone looking to have their wedding in the area!

l of the staff was great and very accommodating. If there was anything anyone needed they were just on it! It’s a beautiful room and they decorated it just perfect for us. 10/10 would recommend having your reception here!!

nue offered EVERYTHING we wanted for our big day. The ballroom is beautiful and can accommodate any vision. The cocktail hour area left plenty of room for our guests to mingle while still feeling like an intimate space. The outdoor space was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. While the venue was perfect, we cannot describe how thankful we are for the staff. Although we did not originally book with Carolyn, I would not have changed our coordinator for anything. The HGI is lucky to have someone so talented, knowledgeable, and passionate about their job. From the many emails back and forth, the Zoom and in-person meetings, and making our specific vision come to life, we cannot express how thankful we are to have had her as part of our day. Carolyn was the best, and you NEED her for your big day too. On the big day, everything was seamless! Not only did Carolyn run the show perfectly, but she had amazing help from her teammate Kellyn. Although we did not meet Kellyn as often, she did not disappoint with her role. On the day of we were so thankful that Kellyn was there to the end to make sure we had everything that we needed. Kellyn was with us to keep us on time and make sure everything ran smoothly. These two make a great team. We would also like to give a big thanks and recommendation to the kitchen staff. We had never had such good food at a wedding, and you would not believe the portion sizes. They took care of every request, substitution, and allergy we threw at them and still made every meal perfectly. All of our guests raved about the food and service. Our server Danny was super sweet and made sure our bridal party was taken care of with each course during the reception AND rehearsal dinner. We cannot thank this staff enough for giving us the most perfect day. If we had to go back and do it all again, we would pick HGI and their team, no questions asked. Have your wedding here!

f were enough to make this decision a no brainer. From that very first meeting, everything was genuine, organized, precise, and comforting. Carolyn puts all her passion into helping couples get their big day across the finish line. Working through all the intimate details of a wedding is difficult enough, but with the loss of a parent just 2 weeks before the wedding made it extra difficult. Carolyn could not have been more accommodating and for that, we could not be more thankful. Our wedding went off without a hitch thanks to her and the staff. She kept everything in line, on time, and ensured that us and our 150 guests were all taken care of. The wait staff was on another level not normally seen for such large venues/events. They were attentive, polite, quick, and present. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD and we are still getting compliments over a week later. Every item from the cocktail hour to the soup to the entrees were superb. We highly recommend renting the greene room on the 1st floor. The setup of the room is SUCH a vibe and the girls had so much fun getting ready in there. The outdoor ceremony location is beautifully curated and can be tailored to add anything you could possibly want. The garden is beautifully manicured and creates the perfect location for after ceremony pictures. The reception ball rooms are beautifully renovated with wonderful lighting that create the most inviting space for big or small receptions. The flexibility provided by all these spaces made our day go much smoother since we were able to hold our entire event on site at the HGI. We can't thank Carolyn and her team enough for providing the most perfect atmosphere and location for wedding day.

me to life and I am so happy with how our wedding turned out. It was the best day ever!

t HGI. We also loved that we had Jackson’s on site to spend time with our guests the night before and after the reception. On top of the venue being beautiful and convenient, the staff was wonderful. Carolyn was our wedding coordinator, and I knew we were in good hands from the moment I met her. She was with us through every step of the way. She helped SO much with decorating and making the reception of my dreams become a reality. Carolyn and the rest of the staff made the whole process, especially the wedding weekend, so smooth, and took so much stress off my shoulders. Every single detail I told them beforehand was done exactly how I wanted it. Our wedding was a dream, and I can’t thank everyone at HGI enough.

to offer. My fiancé (at the time) and I were looking for a ballroom that could accommodate about 350 people. We looked at 12 venues. After narrowing down the list to 2 venues (HGI being one of them), our main determining factor was the coordinator. I knew from our first interaction that I wanted to work with Carolyn from the Hilton Garden Inn. I wanted to work with someone who was very involved with the planning process, efficient, well informed and gave several updates. All that and more describes Carolyn. I can’t say enough good things about her. I specifically changed my initial wedding date to be able to work with her. She was with me through the entire process. She found times that worked for my fiancé and I for our tasting. She updated me constantly! She gave us ideas of what we should add to our reception/ceremony. She recommended vendors. She was so patient and understanding throughout the whole process…. Even when I would send 2728292 updates to her every day and even with the time zone difference. She had answers to all my concerns. She was on top of everything. I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else. Wedding Day was organized and went by super quickly! It was such a smooth process. Carolyn was there at all times checking on me. The head chef and his team know flavor and the food turned out beautifully seasoned! During our tasting, we got to try several different options for appetizers and entrees. The chef walked us through each option and allowed us to customize what sauces/sides/vegetables we wanted. We had our rehearsal dinner at HGI and the food was great! We loved loved loved the New York Strip. The “wedding day” food at cocktail hour and reception was PHENOMENAL! They accommodate all dietary restrictions. We had about 5 butler passed hors dourves, 6 stationary hors dourves, soup, salad, entree and dessert. We got our money’s worth for sure. Our guests are still raving about the food!! Get the filet mignon and the salmon! THEY WERE AMAZING!!! Carolyn helped coordinate all that! The staff was so nice and welcoming! They tried to accommodate all of our requests. The area around the hotel is quiet and peaceful. It’s close to Pittsburgh and the airport! The gazebo was perfect for our ceremony. The grand ballroom with all the chandeliers is beautiful for a reception. It comfortably fit about 250 guests and 2 bars! I can’t say enough good things about the venue, the coordinators (Carolyn and Kellyn (who was very present during my wedding day and super helpful)), the bartender (Shoutout Dina), the managers and all the staff. If you plan on having a wedding that will blow your mind, don’t hesitate to go with the Hilton Garden Inn at Pittsburgh Southpointe!

l of my visions come to life! I never had to worry about a thing because of her! I would recommend her a million times!!

e ballrooms are gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the bridal greene room is a beautiful spot to get ready for the day. Carolyn was incredible to work with and made wedding planning easy. The HGI has the process down to a science, they are very good at what they do, and they take a huge burden off of the bride so you can enjoy the day! Jackson's restaurant also has great food if you'd like to have your rehearsal dinner on-site, or have an after party following your reception. I could not recommend HGI enough - get married here!!!

n it came to questions to last minute changes. They helped organize and set up my cocktail hour and reception hall. Their accommodation of their "Get Ready Room" was the cherry on top for all the bridesmaids to get hair and makeup done in a secluded area. Overall, the HGI in Pittsburgh/Southpointe went above and beyond for my wedding day and would highly recommend them for future brides

eam were AMAZING to work with. She helped answer all of my questions throughout the year of planning, was super responsive and helpful. Day of I felt like I could just relax and enjoy the day knowing all set up, tear down and event details would be taken care of. Could not be more happy with our choice of venue!

planner. She is truly the reason we chose this particular Hilton. We toured three other Hilton's and none of them had staff that was engaged or as enthusiastic as Carolyn. I was so impressed with her attention to detail that I booked my daughter's shower there also. The wedding and shower went out without a hitch. From the time I arrived the day prior to the wedding. I had everyone go above and beyond for my daughter. Special thanks to Katelyn who assisted with putting the tags onto our gift bags when I was running late. It was so appreciated. She was very gracious and offered to finish for me when I said I was going to finish after my appointment. I cannot express enough thanks to Mark and his team of Debbie and Alicia who took special care of my guests at breakfast. They made a special breakfast for my daughter who has dietary issues. It made her day and was so kind. The front desk staff including Mayella and Michael were so helpful with my guests and facilitating cookie and decorations dop offs and then pick-ups after the wedding. The wedding day itself was beautiful. The wait staff- Kellyn, Courtlyn, Kaelyn, Stacy, Amari and Rachel did a great job serving the food and were very attentive to the guests. Dina did a great job on Bar duty and kudos for the great job she did facilitating my daughter's shower earlier in the month. From start to finish it was a great day. Even Don, the general took the time to come over and great the family and offered his services if we needed anything. It was a nice touch. The whole process from start to finish was very organized. Carolyn was so gracious answering my many emails and coming up with solutions for any issue I had. I am so grateful that I chose the Hilton team to make my daughter and son-in-law's day, The wedding reception was so much better that I even imagined. I would recommend this team to anyone who is planning a wedding or any other event and wants and unforgettable experience where the staff treats you like family.

ay! As long as Carolyn is there, i will continue to recommend The Hilton Garden @ Southpoint
