Renee & Ryan Jones Wedding

“From the moment we stepped into the Hilton Christiana, we knew it was ‘the one.’ Every detail, every smile, and every moment was pure perfection.”

Services Received:
  • Courtyard Ceremony & Ballroom Reception
  • Wedding Coordination with Leah & Alfredo
  • Full-Service Catering & Custom Donut Dessert Table
  • Personalized Cocktail & Unity “Pickle Back” Ceremony
  • Guest Accommodations & All-Inclusive Package

The Hilton Christiana was actually the last venue we toured and we must have looked at dozens. But the second we walked through the doors, we just knew. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food smelled amazing, and the staff immediately made us feel at home. The all-inclusive package was a game-changer. It covered so much, from décor and lighting to the menu and flowers, taking away so many of the stressors that other venues left to us. It truly allowed us to enjoy the process instead of feeling overwhelmed.

Our wedding vision was all about breaking tradition and making the day our own. We didn’t want to be like every other wedding we wanted something that felt authentically “us.” From the donut dessert table (because I’m not a fan of cake) to our “Pickle Back” shot ski unity ceremony, every detail reflected our personalities. Leah and Alfredo were incredible they went above and beyond to make it all possible. Alfredo even coordinated with our friends to make sure our shot ski fit perfectly and worked flawlessly on the big day. Their care and creativity made our ideas come to life.

The courtyard was my dream ceremony space the lush gardens, herb planters, and flowers made it so naturally beautiful that we didn’t even need extra décor. The setting gave a sense of privacy while still being outdoors, and the convenience of having both ceremony and reception in one place made the day so easy for our guests. And the food… where do I begin? The flank steak was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and our friends are still raving about it. Everything was prepared and served flawlessly it’s amazing how the team pulled it off for so many guests!

Leah was an absolute gem from day one warm, genuine, and incredibly patient with all my questions. She felt like a friend more than a coordinator. Alfredo made our day effortless, anticipating every need before we even thought of it. We didn’t have a single worry because we knew we were in expert hands. From start to finish, it was seamless. We wrapped up our dream wedding and flew off to Sandals Barbados for our honeymoon, feeling nothing but gratitude for an unforgettable day at the Hilton Christiana.
