    Don’t overlook the Short Hills Hilton for your wedding! It was the perfect location for our big day, offering a central gathering spot where our guests didn’t have to worry about traveling throughout the day. We explored several traditional venues, but none felt as right as this one. We had a November wedding and didn’t expect to have an outdoor ceremony, but the hotel’s lovely patio space was a wonderful option, and surprisingly, the noise from the JFK Parkway wasn’t an issue. For our indoor ceremony, the venue features a permanent enclosed tent structure. At first glance, it didn’t seem like much, but with the help of the event coordinator Vivian Cohen’s help and coordination with our florist, the space was transformed into something breathtaking. The reception space was spacious and perfect for our 170 guests—large enough for everyone to feel comfortable but not so big that it felt empty. Guests still rave about the food and service! The chef and maître d' truly deserve all the praise. The hors d’oeuvres were diverse and delicious, from sliders to a pasta bar to sushi. We chose the salmon and short ribs for dinner, which we selected during a private tasting session. The hotel grounds, filled with foliage, were perfect for photos, especially as we were lucky to have beautiful fall colors for our shoot. Victoria at the Hilton was incredibly helpful with coordinating room blocks, hotel room gift bags, and storage. Vivian was a dream to work with—she was welcoming, communicative, and made everything run smoothly. Her checklist was a lifesaver for keeping track of details, and she was hands-on with day-of coordination, ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be and helping with the little touches that made everything perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to help make our wedding day unforgettable!

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with Yara, her team, and Victoria over the past two years. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and accommodating nature of everyone at the Hilton Short Hills. The staff is incredibly helpful, responsive, and a true delight to work with, even in stressful situations. I highly recommend hosting an event here—it’s always a fantastic experience!

    The whole team at the Hilton Short Hills was a pleasure to work with! We used the Hilton Short Hills for our wedding weekend – room block (50 rooms), breakfast and after-party. It is a very well-operated hotel - clean, comfortable, well-staffed. The sales manager made the reservation process so easy, and the catering manager was very helpful with arranging the space and menu for the breakfast and after-party. Both were very responsive, knowledgeable and professional. The Hilton Short Hills services numerous weddings and other functions so they really have all the kinks worked out. They made our wedding weekend seamless! Thank you Hilton Short Hills team!
