DoubleTree by Hilton Claremont

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with everyone we spoke with at the Doubletree Hotel Claremont. We had been planning our wedding reception from Columbus, OH with a lot of anxiety (mostly on my part) and with the help of
John Gutzwiller, everything turned out AMAZING and more than I ever anticipated. We have been told over and over again from our guests how polite and attentive all the staff was and how beautiful the courtyard was decorated. We would highly recommend this facility for any wedding, reception, special event. Again, John was of so much help and answered any question I had without making me feel like I was bothering him. Thank you again!!

I absolutely loved the doubletree in claremont! John was amazing to work with. On our first meeting with the doubletree i knew thats where i wanted to get married. John went over and beyond to help us, he was great! Him and the staff there did such a great job! i have not one complaint about my wedding day and i have the doubletree to thank for that!

John Gutzwiller at the DoubleTree Claremont Hotel was absolutely outstanding. He had the ability to not only do what we expected from him, but go above and beyond the call of duty to help make our wedding reception into the most wonderful day of our lives. He was always there throughout our journey to answer any questions we had and schedule our appointments after he normal working hours in order to accommodate our work schedules. Overall, the DoubleTree is a beautiful place to celebrate any event with a superb staff in all departments. I have already referred a personal friend who is getting married in April!

The events coordinator, John, is so helpful and really sweet! He made everything so stress free and the food was amazing! People kept coming up to us to say they really enjoyed the food.

Jon at the Double Tree Hotel Claremont was absolutely wonderful.... My wife and I started looking for a venue about a year and a half before our date looking for the perfect place to host our special day. To be very honest, we took one look at the place and it was the perfect place for us. The price was right and the amount of services and other vendors that were apart of our package couldn't be any better!! The best bang for your buck with a beautiful scenery.

This hotel setting was perfect for our son's rehearsal dinner. I enjoyed planning the banquet buffet menu with the enthusiastic, professional Mr. Gutzwiller who was very and helpful. We were able to hold the event outdoors, and the atmosphere of the courtyard, its trees adorned with lights and fountain bubbling, was charming. We were permitted to bring our own decorations (candles) and recorded music. Mr. Gutzwiller referred me to Carol's florist and they did lovely centerpieces. The quality and presentation of the dinner exceeded my expectations. It was costly, but our guests enjoyed delicious food and drink, and we had the time of our lives.

Events/Catering Director was very helpful and friendly. Responsive to calls and staff was wonderful as well. Director was very accommodating to my needs, even with me changing the floor plan for my party needs. Definitely recommend the DoubleTree, Claremont to anyone.

We had our ceremony in the courtyard which is gorgeous. It was very private and serene. We had a wonderful time at our wedding! The entire staff was awesome! John is a lifesaver! He is extremely professional. He responds quickly to every little email that I had. Cocktail hour was a hit and dinner was delicious!! Our family and friends were extremely impressed with the venue, service and staff. It's a hidden treasure and the bonus is that its extremely AFFORDABLE!!!!!We are so glad that we chose the Doubletree hotel!!

From beginning to end, we received great service. Everything about our wedding turned out beautiful and stress-free. The food was delicious and the service during the reception was prompt and attentive. Our guests had a great time as did we. If you want a truly flawless reception, the Claremont Doubletree is the way to go.

Our wedding at the Doubletree Claremont was absolutely amazing! We simply could not have asked for more. All the staff were wonderful and extremely accommodating. We had a wonderful experience and recommend anyone to choose Doubletree Claremont as their wedding/reception site. We will definitely be choosing Doubletree Claremont in the future for parties/events. Thank you Doubletree!

I received multiple comments about what a beautiful venue the courtyard was to hold the ceremony. The ballroom was exquisite and the staff from onset of planning to clean up was outstanding!! This made "our day" a day to remember!

Couldn't have asked for more. Having our wedding here exceeded our expectations and we are astounded at the value - everything is high class and elegant and professional. The staff was wonderful, and John even arranged for a special meal for one of our guests who eats only raw vegan.
John is phenomenal - he's really what makes this venue outstanding.

The Doubletree Claremont and staff did a wonderful job on making our wedding day easy. The Director of Catering, John Gutzwiller, was a pleasure to work with. John was very generous and made sure that we had everything we needed to make our special day even more special. The staff were very pleasant and hardworking and treated our guests how we would want them to be treated.

John was very responsive in regards to any questions that we may have had and he responded within a timely manner. John & the Doubletree staff were very professional as well. We thought that we got the most value for our money. Prices were reasonable which made it easier for us to stay within our budget. The hotel and staff were quite flexible with our needs and requests.

We wanted a place where we could have the ceremony and reception so our guests did not have to drive. The courtyard where we got married was absolutely amazing and made our pictures look even more beautiful. The food was absolutely amazing as well and not to mention the Doubletree cookies are to die for! Mmmmm so good! The room and suites were quite spacious and very clean.

If you are getting married and want a place that has it all then I highly recommend the Doubletree Claremont. The hotel and surroundings are absolutely beautiful and the staff are very wonderful to work with!

Our daughter's Wedding Reception was beautiful, thanks to the perfessionalism and experience of the Double Tree Hotel personnel. Everyone had a wonderful time and our Bride and Groom were so happy.

I love this place. My now husband and I decided to plan our wedding in 8 weeks. We had no idea on what to do. We came to the double tree hotel and John was amazing. He was so helpful and gave us a list of vendors to make it easy for us. We were able to put it all together in only 6 weeks. My guest had a great time and said the place was beautiful. I am very happy we got married at the Double Tree in Claremont!!!!!!!!!!

We had an incredibly positive experience for my daughter’s wedding at the Doubletree Claremont. John and his staff made the day stress free and absolutely beautiful. Throughout the planning, John’s communication was timely and professional as well as detail oriented. As the wedding day neared, we felt calm and assured that all would go smoothly and it did! During the reception, the serving staff was attentive and helpful. The hors d’oeuvres were especially delicious, and the main entrée was hot, delicious, and exactly as we had seen it in the tasting session. The packages they offer are reasonable and a great value for the money. For a relaxing and beautiful experience I highly recommend the Doubletree at Claremont.

I had the wedding of my dreams at the Doubletree Hotel Claremont. John Gutzwiller and the entire staff at the hotel are absolutely the best in the business. They executed every detail of my wedding with perfection. The entire hotel staff was courteous and professional, which made the entire day run smoothly.

We had our ceremony in the beautiful outdoor courtyard area of the hotel. Because the area is completely covered, it was shady and comfortable even in the middle of the summer. We then had our cocktail reception in the hotel's ballrooms. I was in constant awe about how beautiful the ceremony and reception turned out.

We got so many complements from our guests about how amazing the food tasted. For our appetizers, we opted for the loaded mashed potatoes in a martini glass and shrimp cocktail. Not only was the presentation spectacular, our guests raved about how delicious they tasted. In fact, some of our guests told us that the mashed potatoes were the best they had ever tasted! Our guests also raved about how moist and tender the chicken breast and filet mignon were at dinner. We had 220 guest and the expert staff at the Doubletree served all of our guests within minutes, which is definitely amazing.

I would highly recommend the Doubletree Hotel Claremont if you are looking for a fabulous wedding venue. The food, staff and location are top notch. I am an extreme perfectionist and this hotel absolutely exceeded my expectations. You will not regret having your wedding here.

The doubletreee was a great place to get married at AND have the reception. The ceremony was beautiful! The best part was that no one had to travel from ceremony to reception and they could spend the night if they got too tired or had a little to much to drink! John was very helpful and professional! i would definately recommend to get married at the doubletree claremont!

John went above and beyond to provide us with services that we were not expecting and that made our event exceptional.

My husband and myself looked quite a few places and stumbled upon this venue.
The website doesnt do justice to the venue, it has a really gourgeous courtyard that we used for our wedding/reception
The courtlyard had beautiful wall waterfall, you must see to appreciate. Well maintained grounds.
John was outstanding with accomidating our request for the day. Usually wedding food isnt to good & cold,.. but our food was hot & tasted great, Bartender was on his toes. Also John's recommendation for Bakery was a real hit, people are still asking us where did we get the cake from. The staff was professional & courteous.

Anyways, Please go check this place out in nice location, not overpriced, great for small & large weddings. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a venue. I was very happy with it and I really looked at a lot of places before the Doubletree.

I had my wedding reception on May 29, 2010. The staff at the hotel has been FABULOUS!!!! John in catering, Denise in the front desk, Guadalupe The leader in catering, just to name a few staff members. I highly recommed the Double Tree Hotel!!!

Thanks

John is the BEST. He's been doing this so long that he knows what to expect. We knew of none of the issues at the Doubletree because they took care of everything.

The outdoor courtyard is amazing. The staff was really acceptional and friendly. We could not have asked for anything more. They are there to make sure your day is perfect. Recommended.

The day of our event was stressful and chaotic but everything somehow fell into place once we arrived at your beautiful hotel! The banquet room looked spectacular and the service provided was equivalent to a five-star restaurant!! Dinner was delicious too!! My guests were stunned to receive such great service. Your head server, Lupita, was wonderful to work with and her staff were attentive, courteous, and served with a smile... :) You are very lucky to have such wonderful people working for you. I'm still receiving complements from that evening. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in the planning of this very special celebration; my husband and I are truly grateful for your time. Christina's 16th Birthday Party was an absolutely wonderful and memorable event!

John is AMAZING! He is very flexible and accommodating. He gives great attention to every detail to help you create the most fantasic event. I wanted a specific berry salad with a raspberry vinagrete and it was beautifully created and tasted even better than I immagined. The staff is very professional, friendly and just overall phenomenal. Our wedding service was outstanding. John and all of the staff worked so well with our other vendors that everything just flowed seamlessly from cocktails and hor'dorves downstairs to dinner, drinks and dancing upstairs. The food was to die for, all of our guests raved about it. Thank you John!

I loved the way the Double Tree staff catered to my every need! As a bride on a budget, coordinating the entire wedding might seem overwhelming to anyone. This was not the case with Claremont's Double Tree catering staff. They were very helpful with all the details (i.e., decor of the venue) needed to make my wedding a beautiful and an unforgettable one. The vendors suggested by the catering department and the after wedding accomodations included were awesome too! All of our guests complimented us on the top notch service rendered by the entire staff. The cake was to die for! Need I say more????

The Claremont Doubletree was a beautiful location for my and my husbands wedding. We had our reception outdoors in their courtyard and we couldn't of asked for better. The weather was perfect this fourth of July and were even able to see the fireworks that were being shot off across at the Claremont Colleges. A day to remember indeed.

My Husband and I had looked at several different locations to have our wedding ceremony and reception. It ended up being a frustrating situation at most places because they would not listen to our visions we had for our special wedding day. On top if it the cost for most of the venues was through the roof! We walked away from many venue tours feeling let down, disapointed and wondering if we would be able to find the perfect place for our wedding or if we would end up having to just settle on one of the venues that we were not thrilled about.

Then, we decided to visit the DoubleTree in Claremont. This was the turning point in our quest to find our perfect venue for our wedding! We started by calling he front desk to ask them a few questions and they were extremely helpful in assisting us with our questions and directing us to the Director of Catering, John. John has the most welcoming warm personality that made us feel very comfortable. When we met him, my husband and I instantly new we had to work with him for our wedding! John gave us a wonderful tour of the beautiful DoubleTree hotel! We absolutely loved the romantic, green, lush courtyard and the large banquet room in which we easily personalized with the theme and decor of our wedding. John took the time to listen to all of our thoughts, concerns, needs and wants for our wedding ceremony and reception. He made helpful suggestions when appropriate and went over and beyond on every last detail.

Every step of the wedding planning process with John and the staff of the DoubleTree was fun, exciting and most importantly, easy! John was especially accommodating with helping with our every need. He made terrific suggestions to help us stick to our budget and always made us feel like he was one of our closest friends who truly cared about the success of our special wedding day!

Our friends and family still compliment us on what a beautiful, successful, and memoriable wedding we had. John and the DoubleTree staff made all of our guests feel comfortable and our out of town guests that stayed at the DoubleTree really felt special and truly made everyone's experience a memorable one!

My husband and I still enjoy thinking about how lucky we were to find such an incredible venue and we still feel very fortunate that we were able to work with such amazing people, especially John! The quality of service was absolutely flawless, and our wedding could not have been more perfect thanks to the professionalism provided by DoubleTree's staff!

Our wedding was PERFECT! Everything I wanted and more! John Gutzwiller and Stephanie were absolutely wonderful to work with. They answered my never-ending emails right away and were always more than helpful with any request! I loved that I booked the Doubletree for my wedding and received nothing but compliments on everything about the hotel, reception food, and the staff! It was the best day!!!!! I would recommend this hotel to any bride that wants to have a fun, relaxed and fabulous wedding!!!!

Thanks John & Stephanie!!!!!!!!

The Doubletree exceed our expectations. The location is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and supportive. John Gutzwiller, the events coordinator was amazing! The food was exceptional...not what you would expect from a hotel! After almost a year, we are still getting compliments on the food at our reception!

I wanted my wedding to be performed here eversince,It took me a while to book this place but it was very well worth it.

The director of catering for the Doubletree Hotel in Claremont, John Gutzwiller, was absolutely wonderful! He was very helpful and flexible to meet our needs. He was quick to respond and always accommodated us for everything. The hotel itself is very beautiful; we had our ceremony in the courtyard and the reception in the ballroom. My fiance (at the time, now husband) and I fell in love with the hotel for it's cozyness yet beautiful landscape. The area and town of Claremont itself had a beautiful setting. The prices (at the time we booked our wedding) was very affordable for what we wanted and needed than many places we looked around for. I would recommend the Doubletree Hotel in Claremont for your dream wedding...mine was a dream come true!

Excellent place to spend you special day. The staff was personable and eager to please. Not a bad thing to say about them!!

they mad my wedding day stress free! everthing was ready and looking beautiful.... and everyone was so nice! they where awsome!

the reception hall was beautiful.Room was very nicely prepared formal. the room included flower center pieces and the food . the food w as fresh salmon and chicken it was delicious and hot gourmet tasting, center pieces of white roses and ribbon were beautiful

The service the DoubleTree gave our event was exceptional. From the Director of Catering to the staff. This is a wonderful location to have a very memorable event take place. We would definately have our future events at the Doubletree. The unsurpassed service is incredible. Thank you for making this event a great one.

John Gutzwiller was our catering coordinator. He was just perfect, exact, timely, helpful, knowledgeable and up beat. This was a retirement party for my wife as she celebrated forty-three years of nursing. I told John that it was wonderful to have my expectations surpassed. The food was great and the kitchen staff and clean up crew were wonderful.

I recommended! Staff are very nice. Great food! courtyard is amazing!

The Doubletree let me have the elegant & formal wedding I always dreamed of with half the cost other venues in the area were asking. The service was great and my guest were all very impressed.

We absolutely excited that we had our wedding at this reception area. We could not be happier with the service that we received. We were very happy with all the services they provided. The price of this reception site was expensive, however, a lot cheaper then many of the other places we saw. Besides, that point, they were completely worth every single penny. The only problem we experienced was that we wanted a head table but because we maxed out the hall we could not have one. At the reception though, we did not even notice that all we had was a sweetheart table.

Awesome location and helpful staff for your wedding day!

This hotel was very nice and beautifull. I'd come back here any day of the week.

The DoubleTree Hotel in Claremont was an excellent place to have our wedding. The outdoor courtyard was a great place to have the ceremony and the banquet room was right next to it. They had a variety of options based on budget and number of guests. The in-house catering was good. The Wedding Coordinator was very helpful. They charged extra for a dance floor and for a projector. The price did include a hotel room for the bride and groom.

John Gutzwiller and his team at the Doubletree by Hilton Claremont Hotel are phenomenal! They work very closely with their clients, wedding & event coordinators, and event professionals. They always remain professional and friendly! The location is absolutely stunning! We have been coordinating weddings and events at this Hotel for years and every time has been a blessing to work with this team!

I am quite pleased with the quality and the job done by John Gutzwiller, Director of Catering, and his staff. Their clients look great in the surroundings within the hotel, be in one of the ballrooms or the courtyard. The staff is very professional yet friendly and take care of their client needs.

I love photographing brides and grooms there as I know their wedding will go smooth and without problems.

John at the Double Tree Hotel, Claremont is AMAZING!!! He truly cares about the bride/groom to be goes out of his way to ensure that their day is everything they dream it to be! I have provided many of his clients with floral design, decor, and upgraded linens for their special events. It has been a great pleasure working with John as he also has a great staff that is every responsive not only to the client but the vendors that are involved with each event. This is a gorgeous venue with beautiful rooms and an amazing waterfall courtyard area perfect for a ceremony. You will not be disappointed with this top notch venue!

What an amazing location to have you ceremony!!!!

John Gutzwiller is amazing and will take care of your every need. If you haven't found your venue make sure you alteast consider the DoubleTree Claremont.

"Now, I work many venues but the Doubletree in Claremont is one of those rare locations that actually make it easier, not only for the bride, but also for us vendors. John and his team know their business and are a pleasure to work for. I look forward to weddings at the Doubletree Claremont because I know they will be fun, stress-free and more importantly elegant and beautiful!"

John is a fabulous asset to Brides and Groom's! His knowledge and organizational skills are a great advantage to savvy wedding couples as they plan their big event. The hotel has great food and a friendly staff who are willing to go the extra mile for their guests. The ceremony site is a beautiful place with tranquil sounds of a running waterfall and lush green plants. Couples should expect the highest quality when exchanging their vows at this amazing hotel!

I just want to say that it was a true pleasure working with the staff at the Doubletree Hotel in Claremont. Everybody and I mean everybody was a joy to be around and work with, from the front desk staff, to John Gutzwiller, the Director of Catering. John was always so very helpful and profesional through the planning of the wedding up to and including the wedding day. The wedding day was actually a true test of John and his staff. The officiant did not show up and we were put in a very stressful situation. Well John and his wonderful staff stepped up to the plate and joined us in calling around to all the officiants in the area to see if they could find somebody for the bride and groom. He even tried to see if he can get ordained online for the bride! They did not have to help us but they did and they did with a smile on their face and that makes all the difference in the world. I would reccomend this venue to all brides. I cannot wait to work with John and his first class staff again soon.
