Nicotra's Ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn

ly was tough. We flew in to tour several places, and Nicotra’s completely blew the others out of the water. I’m so glad we chose it! First of all—have you seen the gardens?! The gazebo is absolutely stunning and made the perfect backdrop for our photos. Our guests loved wandering the breathtaking grounds during their stay. My wedding guest are still raving about how beautiful the venue was! From the start, our event coordinator Lory was amazing. She was super responsive, helpful, and made planning from out of state so much easier. By the end of the year-long planning process, she honestly felt like family—to me, my husband, and even my parents. I dropped off decor ahead of time and they took care of everything. No stress, no last-minute scrambling. On the big day, our bridal attendant Jenn was an angel. She made sure I had everything I needed—food, drinks, support—and stayed by my side the whole night. She bustled my dress, fixed my hair, literally everything. We held cocktail hour in the Trevi Garden and the reception in the main ballroom. I’m still getting texts from guests saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!There was SO much of it during cocktail hour (and every bite was delicious). Dinner was just as impressive—even the vegetables were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Better than most restaurants! At the end of the night, the staff went above and beyond. They packed up our leftover food (and there was a lot), beautifully boxed our cake, and left a chilled bottle of champagne with a sweet note in our suite. The next day, Lory even stopped by to check on us—just the kindest touch. Having the wedding at the Hilton made everything so convenient. Our guests just partied, took the elevator upstairs, and went to bed. No chaos of Ubers and everyone trying to find a second place to party. Best part of staying at the hotel the wedding was held at….. I didn’t have to pack a single thing. They handled it all! As a bride who planned everything myself, I wanted a venue that would make the process as easy and inclusive as possible. Nicotra’s handled the tables, chairs, linens, food, drinks, cake, lighting, dance floor—everything. So if you’re looking for a wedding venue, stop. This is the one. I promise you won’t regret it!

big day, every detail was handled with incredible care and precision. A special shoutout goes to Jenn, our event coordinator, who was nothing short of phenomenal. From the very first meeting, Jenn made us feel confident and at ease. Her expertise, organization, and genuine passion for what she does shined through in every interaction. She was with us every step of the way, helping us bring our vision to life while offering invaluable suggestions and solutions we never would have thought of on our own. No question was too small, no detail too insignificant. Jenn truly made us feel like family. The rest of the staff, including our FANTASTIC Maitre’d, Matt and our AMAZING bridal attendant, Jennifer, who followed their lead with unmatched professionalism and care. They made sure every aspect of the day flowed smoothly, allowing us to simply enjoy each moment without a worry. Nicotra’s Ballroom exceeded all of our expectations. If you want an unforgettable wedding day and an extraordinary event coordinator who will make you feel completely supported and valued, Jenn, Matt Jennifer and the team at Nicotra’s are the absolute best. We’re beyond thrilled with our experience and will cherish these memories forever!

nzo’s, our cocktail hour in the Trevi Garden, and reception in the Persimmon Room. We had attended a wedding at Nictora’s a few years before planning ours, and we were so impressed that it made our venue search very easy. I’m happy to say that the team consistently delivers on great food, service, and atmosphere. Our guests are still talking about the food being some of the best they’ve had at a wedding, also complimenting the uniqueness of the venue. Jennifer Finch, our planner, kept everything organized and running smoothly - she was extremely willing to work with us on little details, provided helpful and insightful answers to questions, and kept us feeling calm on the day of the wedding. While Nicotra’s provides the full package, there was enough customization available that things really felt ours. She’s a natural. Our bridal attendant, another Jennifer, also went above and beyond - she was friendly, helpful, professional, and made sure we were FED and comfortable at all times. Our Maitre’d Matt was also amazing! Took time to ensure everything was to our liking, was very helpful and kind to guests, and was overall adaptable. The entire FOH staff was excellent, honestly - they made our celebration so much more special. To cap it all off, the Nicotras themselves stopped by to say hello to us and check in on guests - what a personal touch! Something that you often miss out on with a ballroom wedding are beautiful grounds - not the case here. We had many tons of options for beautiful couples portraits moments, and the floor to ceiling windows provided another great bit of atmosphere during the reception. We closed our reception with the Viennese Hour - if it’s in your budget, do NOT skip this. It was an absolutely incredible and massive display that blew guests away. And having an extra hour to party is awesome! I cannot compliment this venue enough!

joyed the heavenly cocktail hour and were impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Day of coordinator Jennifer was attentive and took care of all my bridal needs. We highly recommend booking Nicotras Ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn for your wedding venue, we had a lot of guests traveling and it was easy for our guests to stay in the hotel. We shared our first look on the beautiful property, there are endless options for photo ops. We were able to take many photos and video inside and outside the venue. The ceremony took place outside on the Gazebo, it was absolutely stunning, the weather was perfect. Alessandra met with us regularly in person and was easily accessible via email. She walked us through the wedding planning and guided us on the next steps of the process. It was a great relief that the venue took care of a lot of the details, and we used one of their vendors Red Carpet Events for decor/flowers and they were fantastic.

brought it to life in the most beautiful way. The decor was stunning, the food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Our guests are still raving about the dinner! We couldn’t have asked for a better vendor to help create such a memorable experience.

they were all an amazing team and made my day perfect like I had always dreamed. The food (chicken Milanese, short ribs, salmon, penne vodka, Tuscan display, among many other buffet options) were outstanding - my guests are raving over ALL of it. The attention to my decor and the set up of a dessert station were beyond what I imagined with additional touches that perfected the vision. They were all incredibly attentive to my needs and checked on me throughout my day prepping in my bridal suite. They made my photos run smoothly, had a back up plan that blew my guests’ minds when the weather took a turn, and made us all feel like part of the family of this breathtaking venue. Five stars is not enough for how wonderful they made mine and Donny’s day, and I highly recommend this venue if not for the atmosphere and menus, then for the amazing people who will make your wedding (or event) beyond your wildest dreams.

the Ballroom staff is what sells this place more than anything! Starting with our in-house wedding Coordinator, Jennifer Finch, who guided us through the entire process. She was quick with emailing us back with any questions and had solutions to any road bumps that came our way! By the end of our wedding night, me and my husband felt like we knew her like a friend as we had become close during the planning process. The weekend of our wedding went smoother than a type-a bride could’ve planned and that was all thanks to the staff at Nicotra’s Ballroom! Our Rehearsal Dinner began with the staff walking us through the ceremony and reminding the wedding party to go slow and enjoy the moment. After rehearsal, our wedding party went to Lorrenzo’s Restaurant located in the Hilton. We were able to customize our menu with the event planners there to accommodate our guest preferences. It was perfect to begin the wedding weekend! The bridal suite we were given had accommodations of low back chairs and professional lighting, making it perfect for our hair and makeup to come to us the morning of the wedding to get the ladies ready! On the day of the wedding, I was assigned a bridal attendant, Jackie, who was with me the entire day. I cannot praise Jackie enough for everything she did for me and my husband that day. She walked with us in freezing temperatures to get our pictures done outside for hours. She ran upstairs to our rooms a million times to get things we needed and bring things up we no longer needed downstairs. She helped me bustle my dress and get into my second one for the night. Jackie was beyond a blessing that day, and I don’t know how to thank her for everything properly. The Matre’d, Tom, ran a tight ship for our entire event. Everything was set up beautifully from the ceremony area to the cocktail hour, to our reception. It was like he could read our mind of how we wanted everything to look and feel! Tom also kept the entire event moving at a perfect pace and made sure all the guests were happy and comfortable. The rest of the waitstaff during the event was beyond amazing, we had guest tell us they never left the table for a drink because they would finish one and one would be handed to them by their waitress or waiter! We appreciated the variety of food options and accommodations made for our guests with specific allergies. All the food options we had available to us made sure that even our most picky eaters had something great to eat. When we were shopping around for different venues, we were amazed at the number of things included in the wedding package that other venues would have expected us to pay extra for. We received nothing but compliments from all our guests all night long and after the event. Our wedding weekend was one we will never forget, and that is a big thanks and big credit to the Team at Nicotra’s ballroom. We cannot recommend them enough for your wedding day or any big event really! I know we will be using them in the future for different events we will have!

o do planning a wedding but Jenn knew she was funny and patient with us. She had made planning painless. As for the event everyone at our wedding are still talking about how beautiful the gazebo was and the room where we had it in, people raved over the food. The bridal attendant Jen and the maitre d Mike were fabulous couldn’t ask for better people. Price was perfect for our budget and it included a lot. It I ever have another event I would definitely go there. Also the hotel is extremely clean and staff is extremely helpful. Thank you Jenn Finch and all of her stall. You made a great memory for Dotty and Myself.

start to finish.. 1st - I'm Italian we love deals its true. Save yourself the leg work your not getting a better bang for your buck anywere else then Nicoltras Ballroom!.. When you request a meet & greet to check the venue you will Jennifer . Shes the head of basically everything. She will calm all your nerves & truly make sure you have all your needs met for whatever size party you may have . Jennifer is 1 of the most meticulous people I've ever met besides myself. I tried catching her slipping & she's way ahead of the game guys so you can Relax shes all over it & shes always available to chat, talk, meet , email etc.... The night of the wedding you will get a host that tends to all your needs. We were lucky enough to get another Jennifer which we called her Jennifer#2 no disrespect intended. Jennifer #2 is that cool aunt you either have or wish you had because she truly cares about your needs on the big day. She went above & beyond!!!. The Room Manager Matthew . He is a perfectionist & the most calm person I've ever met. They all work amazingly together like 1 big family who truly care for one another.. As I said earlier 1 review is not enough to describe their greatness at their craft which is throwing big events!!!! The Party Consisted of 1 hour in the Cocktail Room & then 4 hours in Trevi Room as our party was around 90 people but could've easily fit 125. The cocktail hour was a tremendous hit that people didn't realize that was not the main room!!.. When they transfered all the guests over to the main room everyone was stunned . The lighting & all the linens & architecture of the room really popped.. The Entrances were seamless under Jennifer #1 & Jennifer #2 & Mathews Guidance .. It can be tricky rounding up all your drunk family members after cocktail hour which they handled 1000% leaving us in our private bridal sweet to regroup from the church & practice a few dance moves... The entire party had a blast & danced the night away. They had to turn the lights on for people to get out.. Its a convenient venue because they have the hotel & give u & all guests a major discounted rate so nobody needs to drink & drive. They also give the Bride & Groom a big Bridal sweet which is separate from the bridal room ... The tasting went well & on the night of the party the food came out as good as it did during our private tasting process.. Jennifer the Head Manager also has all your vendor needs handled. They have all the private vendors you may or may not want to add. Special affects,Florist,DJs etc... You can use your own vendors aswell that is up to you.. Again I can not say enough on a 3500 word review . Also the Owners Husband & Wife are on site & truly care for all their guests & workers. Great People you will be meeting them through your process. From the bottom of our hearts Thank You All for making our day so special. I am hard to please & you guys did it with ease!! We love you all & we will be doing other parties there in the future!!!. Love Anthony & Nelly Montemagni

r address any issues. She was detailed in asking us what we wanted for our wedding, details that we hadn't even though of. We booked the Gazebo and Tea House Garden for our ceremony and reception. When the weather wasn't looking the greatest for an outdoor ceremony Alessandra and the team help upgrade us to the Trevi room and made sure to coordinate with our vendors for a smooth setup. Everything looked beautiful! And probably better then if we had it during the hot weather outdoors. It was my dream come true and exceeded my expectations. Also when our original Photobooth vendor had issues with their equipment and couldn't do the job. Alessandra was quick to contact another Photobooth vendor and get him within the hour! I thought we weren't going to have a photobooth for our guest but she saved the day! Our guest even didn't notice there was a problem. The wedding was a hit, all of our guest raved about the ceremony site, cocktail/ reception setup and the food. Thank you to Nicotras for giving me the best wedding!
