The first two criteria we looked for were size and location. We wanted to be in the central Florida area, and we needed a venue that was large enough to potentially accommodate 400+ people. That narrowed things down initially, and from there, we started comparing things like aesthetics, specific location, and cost.

The Hilton Clearwater Beach hit everything we were looking for: great location, specifically on the beach, multiple venue options (outdoor, ballroom, etc.), and full service for food and bar. Their service was exceptional, and our guests really noticed. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of.

Close beach access, walking distance to shops and restaurants (McDonald’s for kids), in-house wedding coordinator that helped with all aspects of the wedding!

The Hilton Clearwater Beach was amazing! Perfect location, exceptional amenities, and top-notch staff! We’re already in talks of a return to Clearwater for our anniversary and couldn’t imagine staying at a different location. Everyone did an exceptional job. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. Candice was amazing throughout the entire process. She played a big role in the selection of the majority of the vendors we used for our special day. I’m not sure if we could have put this all together without her assistance.

We wanted a wedding venue that allowed us to be outside and by the ocean; the Flamingo deck at the Hilton Clearwater Beach was the perfect space to give us the indoor/outdoor feel. We wanted a place that would be able to make our visions come to life, from the food to the table setting and the service.

We hired the Hilton Clearwater Beach because of their location and because of the wedding packages that they offered for the size of the wedding that we wanted. I knew the Hilton was the perfect venue for us after just one meeting with my venue coordinator Candice who was able to show me exactly everything that they had to offer. I told her our expectations for our wedding day, and she went above and beyond to blow anything we had originally imagined out of the water. We also chose the Hilton because of how professional and personable Candice was when meeting with her.

We wanted a venue that could hold 300-400 guests count outdoors, considering COVID, but had backup options in case of rain.

I picked Hilton Clearwater Beach because it was a great location for our out-of-town guests to enjoy a mini-vacation along with attending my wedding. I always loved the idea of an Indian wedding on the beach; it's so different, and being a native Floridian it was perfect for me.

The Hilton Clearwater Beach also has a history of hosting many Indian weddings, so I knew they were familiar with the traditions, large guest count, and food expectations.

Since I'm from California and Michelle's from Ohio, we always wanted to have a destination wedding in a beautiful city. We wanted to get married on the beach with an outdoor reception. We wanted our guests to have the convenience of everything in one place, so they could relax and not worry about finding transportation and additional travel.

The Hilton Clearwater Beach offered all of our events; our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and brunch the day after our wedding at the hotel. We chose the Hilton because of the gorgeous Sandpiper Terrace which opens up to the beach, and our ceremony and cocktail hour were just steps away. We wanted our out-of-town guests to have a vacation of their own, so it was important to us that everything be in close vicinity with no additional travel. The service was top-notch, and everyone was so nice and accommodating. Our guests were very complimentary of the service they received, and the fun attitudes of the employees.

All of the food at our wedding was delicious from the appetizers to the meal. The Hilton provided a Mexican station with pork and chicken tacos, an Italian station with creamy pesto and bolognese pasta, and a carving station serving sliced prime rib. We were so happy with the food, and so many guests raved about how delicious it was. They kept going back for seconds and thirds!

Open/airy views, beachfront, and updated/modern. Everything the Hilton Clearwater Beach is.

After visiting two hotels in Clearwater and two in St. Pete, we chose the Hilton for the Sandpiper Deck. It was everything we needed to make our wedding dreams come true. We needed everything to be outside: ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They were the most expensive venue we looked at, but we could not get over the views. It was everything we wanted!

Candice Slater at the Hilton was another reason we loved the hotel. She is amazing; so prompt and thoughtful with everything she does. We were planning during COVID, and she answered everything and made us feel so confident in keeping our wedding date the same and not postponing.
