Cincinnati Hilton Netherland Plaza

The food, wine, and service were absolutely outstanding! There is a reason why Orchids has won #1 Cincinnati Restaurant for 3 consecutive years...We coordinated the reception dinner with Maitre d' Charles Redmond and coordinated the cake/dessert with Pastry Chef Megan Ketover, both were very accomodating, very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Nothing but 5-star service from the Hilton the day of our wedding. Although the specific event planner we were assigned didn't seem to have the excitement/enthusiasm for our event that we had hoped, she was thorough and responsive.If you want a venue with incredible service, great attention to detail, and INCREDIBLE food, the Hilton is the hands-down best choice!Although you may initially think the Hilton too pricey, they package many things together (catering, centerpiece mirrors/candles, table numbers, hotel accommodations, event planning, etc.), which can save you in the long run!

I got married on New Year\'s Eve and we wanted a unique venue that could stand alone with little decoration needed. The Hilton Netherland Plaza is a beautiful hotel and many of our guest raved about the art deco decor. This is definitely more on the pricey side of the venues around here, but when you compare what you get as part of the package to what you would have to do to make other venues equally as spectacular, it was an easy choice for us. We used Goodwin Lighting to light the Hall of Mirrors for the Reception and there really is no better company for the job. They are pros! The Continental room was simply stunning with no chair covers, aisle runners, or huge flower arrangements. The room\'s beauty on it\'s own is all you need. The food was fantastic and we got many compliments. We opted for food stations and displays rather than the sit down dinner. The staff was always more than accommodating and coordinated with all of our vendors so we didn\'t have to. There are always a few small things that go wrong when planning an event of this nature, but the end result was still a night I know that we will always remember. It is also a great place to imagine spending many anniversaries in the future.

Robin at the Hilton helped make my fairytale wedding come true. There are not enough words to describe the beauty, service, food and professionalism of the staff. Our every need was fulfilled above and beyond our expectations. People are STILL talking about our wedding and it's been two months already. The staff at the Hilton, especially Robin treat you like you are the one and only bride ever to walk into the venue. She makes the extremely stressful and daunting task of planning a wedding seem calming and serene. It's because she knows how to do her job so well that all your fears and anxieties go away when meeting with her. She answers all your questions quickly and calmly and responds to e-mails and phone calls no matter how many times you bother her. Robin pulled off ALL of my ideas and made them her own. I will NEVER forget her or be able to thank her enough. The Hilton is the most amazing place to celebrate the most magical day of your life. My wedding was superb and the Hilton had EVERYTHING to do with that! Your guests will be completely spoiled if you have your wedding there. They will not be able to stop commenting on the service and beauty of the hotel Thank you again!

We worked with Hanna to plan our wedding at the Hall of Mirrors, and Greg was our Captain the night of the wedding. Both individuals were excellent! Hanna captured every detail and was great about adjusting items based on our decisions. She coordinated with each of our vendors the day of the wedding. I didn't have to worry about one thing! Greg was superb. His attentiveness the night of the wedding allowed us to relax and enjoy the night rather then worry about what should happen next. The evening was flawless. The Hilton's service and professionalism is outstanding. The hotel is beautiful, and our guests enjoyed every moment of the weekend! It was definitely worth every penny. Our friends and family are still talking about our wedding!

Unlike others who have written reviews, ours was definately NOT a story-book ending. I chose this venue due to its historic significance and "supposed" best-of-the-best venue. Although Katie and her service staff were very good, the planning staff was "Sub-standard" at best. There were far too many "missed cues" to even mention in an e-mail - even when they were documented in the "tie-down" meeting. In fact, I refused to make an additional payment due to their mistakes. They didnt deliver the Out-of-town Gift boxes, they didnt put down our table decor, the bar was not ready for my guests - even though I purchased Top Shelf liquor - they were pouring "well" drinks - until I caught them and made them switch to the Top shelf that I ordered! We were told that other weddings would not interfere, yet we found half a dozen wedding crashers at our wedding, we were told we couldnt get our photos taken on the balcony - yet others did! More than that, I didn't even receive an apology from anyone, including the General Manager of the property- which, in my opinion, is repulsive - especially since Im a GOLD Hilton Honors member. For the money, many other vendors in the area DEFINATELY would have been a better choice!

We worked with Ashley to plan our May 22, 2010 wedding and it was absolutely perfect! Not only was the Hall of Mirrors ballroom stunning, the staff was first class. Ashley made everything seamless and had everything running on time and everything was in place. As the bride I didn't have to worry about one single thing because I knew Ashley would make it happen. Not only was the room and staff amazing the food was the best! We got so many compliments on the food and the staff...people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! We would highly recommend the Hilton Netherland Plaza to anyone because it made our wedding a fairytale come true :)

Robyn was such a treat to work with. From the first day of meeting with us to show us the Hall of Mirrors, to the wedding day! Doing everything professionally and timely. And flexible beyond expectations. Like finding a wheelchair on a moments notice! Thanks Robyn! There is no other venue like the spectacular Hall of Mirrors! We had the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there, clockwork!!!The catering and food..delicious!The hospitality room was great..had hair and makeup come to us...so easy!Yes it is pricey but no one will ever hear me complain...worth every dollar.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. It might be expensive, but it is worth every penny. The service is top notch. There is more included than you could ever wish for included, votives, menus, table number. floor length linens. If I had reason to have another event there I would in a hear beat....The fact that the hotel is gorgeous is just one more perk!

I loved our reception site. We had it in the Hall of Mirrors at the Hilton in Cincinnati. There is a balcony and the view from up there is gorgeous. This hotel is art deco and is on the historical registry. You can have your ceremony here too.

The staff at this hotel was great. We blocked rooms here for our guests and my husband and I also satyed here. We stayed under a different name though and the staff kept our secret well. We didn't want any of his friends playing tricks on us.

We received as a gift a three-night stay at the Netherland Plaza. This place must have been really beautiful in the old days, but it is still stunning now. Our room was beautiful, and we did have a good view. The hotel is beautiful, and the Hilton hotels always have well-trained and courteous staff. The doorman is the best, he will answer all the questions you might have. It was relaxing, too. The hotel was always quiet.

The staff at the Hilton was very professional and the food was exceptional. They coordinated with my other vendors and made the day very easy for me. I was able to be stress free when it came to how my reception would turn out

The Hilton Netherland Plaza Continental Ballroom was the first thing we decided on about our wedding. Their fully restored art deco space was the ideal for our non-traditional wedding. We looked at dozens of "reception" sites which were really just overblown conference rooms - the Hilton was precisely the grace and elegance we were looking for. We were paired with Robyn Jones as a wedding coordinator; we must have fired back and forth a hundred emails between us, and she was always incredibly on the ball with everything, and never overwhelmed with our non-traditional requests. We also had our entire wedding party, family, and friends stay at the Hilton the entire weekend, and the staff was amazing - anything we wanted was ours. The valet, the catering staff, the front desk staff were all above-and-beyond professional and hospitable. We didn't think service like that existed anymore! In addition to the Continental Ballroom, which seats 100-200 people, they also have two other equally gorgeous spaces that seat more. I can not imagine having done our wedding anywhere else in the world.

Lyn and her staff at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza were fantastic!!! The hotel is just gorgeous and has so much charm! The room and the food were incredible!!! They made the night go so smooth. I definitely recommend this venue to anyone getting married!

This is the most beautiful hotel I have seen. The ballrooms are great. We had the Continental Ballroom, and it was absolutely gorgeous, even with no special lighting, no chair covers, and no garlands or flowers. We had our ceremony there, then had a cocktail reception on the mezzanine area, then had the reception sit-down served dinner in the Continental room as well. The Hilton took care of all of the set-up, working with our florist, photographer, officiant, and DJ, to make everything run smoothly.It is expensive, but it is the best value I have seen among the more expensive places in town. They will tailor the expenses to what you want. They will make sure they have vegetarian items if you want them, and they can accommodate allergies too. They allow lots of flexibility, and all of your guests can stay in the hotel if they want to.It is very convenient to be right in downtown, with Fountain Square outside your window, and the mall next door, in case someone forgets their shoes...I am very glad we chose to have our wedding there.

Oh, my god, this was the most beautiful place that I have ever stayed! The front entrance is beautiful, and I loved their dinning hall. We could only get away for the weekend, and this was perfect. It’s a historic hotel, too, which means that I fell in love with the century old details and features. The rooms were normal hotel rooms, but the location of the hotel is perfect, too. We were walking distance away from everything. Also, the dinning room has expensive but great food. The chef made an amazing chocolate dish while we were there, and I loved it so much I ordered it once for dessert and then to-go!

What can you say that's negative about one of Cincinnati's true treasures for wedding ceremonies & receptions? The service and the food are both excellent! The banquet staff are friendly & very accomodating and know exactly how to keep everything on time without a hitch!
