Amazing Experience

I can’t explain how happy I am that we chose Hilton Vancouver Airport for our wedding venue. The team at Hilton (Rishi and Katherine), were so accommodating from the very beginning. They never said no to anything we requested and went above and beyond in every way possible. The food vendor recommendations were the biggest hit for our wedding guests, and the whole team during our time there were so professional and happy to help. If you have a lot of guests travelling for the wedding, this location is perfect. They also have an outdoor area by the pool that was super nice for smaller events.

Stressful Times Made Easier 😌

We had to plan our wedding within 4-5 months of being engaged and as you can imagine, it was hectic and stressful.

Katherine and Rishi were extremely helpful with the planning process. All the way from organizing the room, getting design ideas, the food for dinner and everything else. The staff during the day of our reception were also fantastic! So helpful and accommodating, I think especially because we're such a young couple (26F, 25M) 😅

I highly recommend working with the staff here and with the recent upgrades to the lobby and hotel, it'll have an elegant and modern feel when people walk in.

Anyways, thank you again to the Hilton and the staff! Love y'all. ❤️

Best Wedding Venue

Those looking for wedding venues in Vancouver areas , should run to book Hilton in Richmond ! It has one of the best locations , people working and space to host such an event . Performed my daughter’s wedding on 19 th Aug 2023 and the experience was beyond our expectations. Every staff member went out of their way to make this such a memorable event . The food was excellent, the hospitality was top notch , the rooms and accommodations were wonderful.
We are so glad that we chose this venue to perform the wedding. Thank you Hilton, Richmond .

Highly recommend!

My husband and I had our wedding reception here and it went so well!! Stephanie Wong was our contact person and she was amazing! Stephanie was super quick t respond to the emails, she gave us her honest opinion (didn't try to trick us into spending more money) which made us feel that we could truly trust her.

So many of our guests told us that the food was also super good and the desserts were super delicious as well.

The evening before the wedding, we went into the Ellington Ballroom to set up, to realize that things weren't ready as they were supposed to be. After speaking to Stephanie, we realized that it wasn't her fault at all, and it was the set up crew who didn't do their tasks. We had to rearrange some table seatings, and move some tables to create a walkway for us to enter. Apart from that, everything went very smoothly. We even ran into Stephanie the night prior to our wedding at 12:30am, and she ran through everything with us and she finished all the set up. It was such a huge relief!

I would highly recommend the Hilton Vancouver Airport!! Their food is great, their staff is fantastic and even when there are minor hiccups, everything is always worked out!!! Thank you Stephanie and Hilton for an amazing reception!!!

Right from the moment we walked in for our initial meeting with the Amy Ferguson of the Hilton we were pretty much sold! She and the rest of the staff were so warm and friendly but definitely not pushy sales people. Amy worked with both us and our wedding planner seamlessly and we were so appreciative of all of her help with our unusual wedding reception.
The hotel allowed us to have Sumo Wrestling suits, bouncy ball races and a photobooth plus our reception room! Our wedding was the talk of the hotel and some staff were disappointed when they found out that they wouldn't be working our wedding because they all agreed it sounded like a lot of fun. If you are planning an out of the ordinary reception then this is the place to go!
The food....OMG! the food was spectacular! Can't rave enough about the food! My husband and I definitely don't like ordinary food and the options at the hotel were spectacular! Everyone loved, loved, loved the food!

The Hilton Vancouver Airport was an amazing venue to hold our wedding reception!
