Hilton Short Hills Reviews

Our wedding guests were treated extremely well at the Short Hills Hilton. Our guests could not have had a better experience. My husband and I also spent our wedding night in a suite. It was truly perfect and we could not be more pleased with the high quality of this hotel

Victoria at the Short Hills hilton was so extremely helpful and made the hotel room block experience seamless

We used Hilton Short Hills for our wedding block (a full 50 rooms) and they made the entire process simple and worry-free! The team was friendly, responsive, and stayed on top of all of the important details. Their incentives packaging is also great. Highly recommend for anyone getting married in the area

Great hotel, perfect location, terrific staff, comfortable rooms, delicious food! The staff organized my son’s wedding room block and transportation for our guests, as well as a Friday night dinner, and Sunday brunch. Everything was perfect!

$165 a night standard room
$255 a night Jr suite
You can't beat these prices during a wedding weekend. The staff was professional, Courteous, attentive, and accommodating to my guests keep in mind three other weddings were taking place there that same weekend.
The hotel /resort was huge, the rooms were spacious and comfortable. I felt safe.
They had a section for late fruits, snacks and drinks.
They have a lot different rooms to accommodate your personal and professional needs
The bridal shower was beautiful. They have an outside sitting area to have a Picnic.
I look forward to staying again.
Victoria and Yara followed up with me before the wedding, durning the wedding and after the wedding checking on me to make sure everything was okay.

I just had my daughter's Sweet 16 at the Short Hills Hilton. It wasn't a wedding but sure felt like one. I worked with Vivian and Yara and they were just amazing, very detailed and just took care of everything. I can't forget Victoria who took care of our block of rooms and Frank who ran the show. Everyone we made contact with was just great and very friendly and sincere. It was definitely a memorable night! I can't thank them enough!

I’m writing to let you know about the positive experience and excellent customer service I received while working with Yara Samad. We had my son and daughter in law’s Welcome Drinks reception at the Short Hills Hilton the evening before their wedding.

The moment I sat down with Yara she made me feel comfortable and reviewed all our options in detail. Her suggestions were helpful, realistic and creative. We initially decided to hold the event outside on the pavilion, with the Mendham Room as our backup. As the day got closer and rain was imminent, Yara suggested we hold the event downstairs. She told me the room was big enough to have all our guests including the cornhole, mini golf, jenga and connect 4 games at the end of the room for the kids to enjoy. It was a huge success! There was plenty of room for all our guests to enjoy the food, drinks and games. We received so many wonderful comments about the evening and how well everything ran. It was the perfect kickoff to the wedding the next day.

To say that Yara was a pleasure to work with would be an understatement. Her calming presence combined with her experience, expertise and sense of humor made for a wonderful evening that we will never forget.

Yara is an incredible asset to the Hilton organization. If any of our friends or family are looking to hold an event there in the future, I will definitely suggest they contact her.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel the night before and the night after our wedding as well as our friends and family. Our wedding venue was affiliated with the hotel and we were able to get a set of blocked rooms for a total of 3 nights, the night before our wedding, the night of, and the night after. I was in close communication with Victoria who was the Sales Manager. She was extremely kind, responsive in a timely manner, and does her best to give the best service. We were able to get a slight discount on the blocked rooms, which was very helpful. During our stay the staff were also amazing. Our stay was comfortable and we rested well after a busy day. Highly recommend staying here!

When you step on the property, you’ll notice what level of service you’re going to get and you will receive it. Very nice people to work with. The process and contract were easy to understand. We had to expand the number of rooms and the staff were very flexible.

I had my wedding at Hilton Short Hills in October 2023, and it was amazing! Due to an unfortunate circumstance, my now-husband and I found ourselves without a venue 2 months before our wedding date. We toured a few venues that had availability for our date, and the Hilton was the clear winner. Right from the beginning, our event coordinator Yara made us feel comfortable and secure with the Hilton after a rough experience with our original venue. She was super responsive, thoughtful, clearly experienced, and so helpful, along with being just a wonderful person. She helped us pull off a whole new wedding in two months and I can't be more thankful to her and the whole team at the Hilton for everything they did for us, including Victoria in booking who made sure that everything was super easy for our guests and for us. No card to put down for holding your room block, which was awesome, plus we got a suite for ourselves included when you book your wedding with them (along with earning Hilton points on the whole wedding spend!).

The staff was helpful and friendly throughout the whole weekend, the food was excellent, drinks were great, and the whole flow of the event was seamless. Our maitre d' was incredible, I don't think I ever had less than 1/4 of a drink before she popped up out of nowhere with a new one. They were so willing and able to customize things for us like appetizers not on their menu or tweaks to the existing ones. It was so convenient for our guests to stay at the hotel, and made for a much better overall experience where we had lots of opportunity to see and chat with our guests throughout the whole weekend. One downside of the venue is there's not really any great spots for outdoor photos, but there are a bunch of arboretums/museums nearby that you can take photos at, including Macculloch Hall, which is where we went. Plus, the interior of the hotel is really unique and a little old-world Titanic-y with wood walls and a 3-story spiral staircase that was perfect for our first look, as well as a really lovely photo spot that we and our guests took advantage of.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding there and highly recommend them!!

Although we had a Bar Mitzvah, not a wedding, it certainly could have been a wedding. We hosted the service in the pavilion, which was stunning, the luncheon in the ballroom and then they flipped the ballroom for the evening party.
From the moment I met with Vivian, I knew I was in great hands. Vivian, Emily and Chef , took my theme and ran with it.
The banquets team worked with our vendors to ensure everything was perfect. There is not ONE thing I would change.

We looked at many venues and are attending Bar/Bat Mitzvah's every weekend, this year. Not one venue has come close to what Hilton Short Hills accomplished.

Thank you to Vivian, Emily, Chef and the entire Banquets Team for creating the most memorable event.

Samantha and Vivian helped us plan the absolute best wedding weekend possible. They were a pleasure to work with and were extremely attentive, meticulous, and responsive throughout our planning process. I truly believe we received unparalleled service and attentiveness from Vivian and Samantha and the rest of the Hilton Short Hills staff and I do not believe we would have had such a successful wedding weekend at any other hotel in the area.

This was THE wedding of our dreams! Being a bride, everything is automatically stressful to just have the most perfect day. But once we had Vivian at Short Hills, we knew we didn’t have to worry. We still get compliments on the execution of how awesome our ceremony (yes, with sangria!) was and how incredible our cocktail hour was, as well as everything in the reception. Food was great but more importantly service from planning to the final second of the reception was impeccable, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you thank you thank you. If we had to do our wedding ceremony and reception over, we would absolutely choose you all! Thank you again!

The Hilton Short Hills is one of those places where you know you will be welcomed with open arms, a warm smile, and if there's a challenge, Emily and Vivian are going to find a solution. Looking forward to many more beautiful events at the Hilton Short Hills!

We worked with Vivian Cohen and she was extremely detailed and thorough. She answered all our questions and accommodated several special requests without hesitation. Each time we needed something she was prompt with her replies. I could not have asked for better support in planning our wedding.

Vivian and her team exceeded our expectations with the planning, execution and service for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah! The entire staff was attentive and professional.

We used the Hilton Short Hills for our room block and were very happy. The hotel was sold out the night of our wedding, but Megan and Sarah and their team did everything they could to provide extra rooms for guests who had waited until the last minute to book. Our brunch the next morning went smooth and was a good ending to our wedding weekend. Megan and Sarah were easy to work with and always prompt with their responses.

The Hilton Short Hills was AMAZING!! We had a lot of guests that needed rooms and everyone was accommodated for. They also handed out all of the welcome bags I made. Definitely go with the Hilton Short Hills!

Michelle and her team at the hilton made planning for our wedding an absolute pleasure. But more than that, the entire event was simply perfect - they were incredibly proactive, professional, knowledgeable, reassuring, understanding to our needs and went above and beyond to make our wedding a dream come true!

The Short Hills Hilton did an amazing job with all aspects of my wedding weekend. They accommodated our last minute rehearsal dinner on Friday night in the dining room, the spa was a great way to relax the day before, and so convenient to get our hair/makeup done the day of, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all coordinated seamlessly by Melissa Chiarolanzio (Hilton Event Coordinator), and Martin the maître d for the evening was great! He made sure that the evening went smoothly, all in all we had a great experience with this venue and staff and we definitely recommend it to other couples!

The Hilton Short Hills was an absolute dream! The staff were all amazing to work with - friendly, responsible AND caring! They were with us every single step of the way. Michelle was a WONDERFUL help!

The food was simply amazing. The cocktail hour was exactly what we envisioned and the dinner was delicious. When dinner was served the food was warm and perfect. The waiters were great and timely.

The venue itself was a dream come true. The new renovations are beautiful.

THANK YOU HILTON SHORT HILLS!!!! I will have MANY future events there.

Absolutely amazing in every way! Mary Vale and her staff were wonderful to work with; professional, sensitive, accommodating, responsive, a "calm in the storm" of wedding planning. The venue is beautiful, the food delicious and the service impeccable. Their attention to detail can not be described in words. My guests commented on how pampered they felt. It may have been my daughters wedding but Mary and her staff made me feel like, "Queen for a Day."

ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH! Lauren R. was our wedding specialist and she just worked magic all the time! It was such a fun and easy process..we loved it!

Thank you to Mary Vale and her team at the Short Hills Hilton. We picked this venue first to host the guests for our August wedding and the weekend events and were so happy at the service we received. Who knew we would actually be having our wedding with them as well. On the morning of our wedding with Hurricane Irene beating down our door we had vendors cancel and decided that we needed to move the wedding to a new location. Luckily we were at the Short Hills Hilton- they mobilized their entire team and in two hours we planned a ceremony, a reception, dance floor- the entire WEDDING and it was beautiful and delicious and just the best. Without the Short Hills Hilton we would have had to cancel the wedding. After pulling off this amazing event the hotel lost power at 5am and was still able to have our Sunday brunch by candlelight and take care of our guest who were stuck in NJ for days because of flight cancelations. We can't thank this team enough for all they did and if you are lucky enough to have your wedding here you will see that from start to finish they are top rate!

Everything was absolutely great. The food was delicious and the service exceptional. We were able to have a very small and intimate celebration on a Saturday evening without paying much more given high headcount commitments required at other places.

Chris – the maitre d made sure everything went smoothly and that we were happy with everything throughout out the whole event (starting with the food, temperature, drinks, etc.).

We worked with Elizabeth Winship on most of the details and she was very helpful and recommended a great place for entertainment (Barry Herman Entertainment). She was very patient and listened to our questions. She shared her experience and ideas, which help make our event smooth. She greeted us once we came from church and took our bridal party to a private suite where we were offered refreshments and some light food.

The hotel junior suite room we received (in addition to two regular rooms) was spacious and easily fit our wedding party. We got some great photos getting dressed there! Once we got back there after the reception, there was champagne and chocolate waiting for us.

We didn’t have to worry about anything that day as the staff we worked with was very experienced and knew how to make their clients happy. Overall our experience with this hotel was extraordinary and we would definitely recommend them!!!!
