The Hilton Tampa Downtown’s customer service was amazing, and the proximity to Armature Works was a big plus. They were so helpful and accommodating. Shout out to Melissa Gordon, who helped us on so many levels, as well as all of her staff.

The most important thing at the wedding to us was that all our guests had a great time and felt welcome. Furqan and I both have big families, and it is not every day that we are able to all gather in one place together, so we really wanted to prioritize that the wedding was memorable and enjoyable for all our loved ones. The Hilton Downtown Tampa is where all the guests stayed, and they were wonderful. We were able to have a hospitality suite for all our friends and family to gather; we had cornhole, Chinese Checkers, chess, poker, Keton, and code names. It was fun for all.

With my husband coming from a hospitality background, it was important we catered to our guests’ needs and therefore we wanted our whole wedding in just one location. We wanted everything to be about ease and convenience so that all they had to worry about was being treated to a special evening and a good time. With a guest count of 200 people, options are pretty limited in finding a location that was outdoor and covered for the ceremony and a beautiful grand ballroom inside for dancing the night away.

When we came upon the Hilton Downtown Tampa, we immediately fell in love with the beautiful brick area covered by tall gorgeous trees and a nice breeze coming from in between two tall downtown buildings.

Even though I had walked pasted this area many times, looking at it through wedding ceremony eyes, it looked completely different and so special. It really spoke to our love for Tampa and was quite perfect in every way for us.

The Hilton recently went over lots of renovations, so the ballroom area was beautiful and so grand. The Hilton’s service was excellent. When there was an issue with the beverage service, they made sure to make it right. We were very happy we chose them to host the most important day of our lives.

I knew my ceremony would be at our church and with Florida weather, I knew I wanted our reception to be indoors, but I love the outdoors as well and wanted to be able to incorporate that. So I was looking for a venue that had both an indoor and outdoor space. I also wanted a venue that would fit our elegant and timeless design and that would be a short drive from our church.

The Hilton Tampa Downtown’s terrace, chandeliers, and location ultimately sold me on the venue. They also fit our budget, were easy to work with, and we were overall very happy with the venue.

We wanted someplace that could hold our guest count and that was easily accessible and in a great downtown location. Being close to an airport was a plus, too!

The Hilton Tampa Downtown was the only hotel we looked at. We walked in and loved the venue, and the hotel event manager was amazing and so knowledgeable in Indian weddings; we didn't want to look elsewhere!
