Amazing Wedding Venue

We remain elated we chose Kitty Hawk Pier as our wedding venue! Peggy was amazing! Words will not do justice for how incredible she is. Peggy is incredibly responsive and answered every question we had promptly and thoroughly. We did not have a wedding planner and she managed every detail on the day of our wedding. The pier ceremony and reception could not be more picturesque. We could not ask for a better venue and staff!

A perfect day!!

I am SO happy that my new husband and I decided to go with KHP for our wedding (6/23/24)! My parents met with Miha last summer & she has been fantastic with coordinating everything (she mostly collaborated with my Mom, so I’ll let her leave a review to rave more about her specifically :)). Everything was perfect for our rehearsal and day-of! The pier and pier house were both beautiful, and it was so reassuring to know that even if it rained (which it didn’t) we still had a gorgeous back-up in plan!

My favorite thing about KHP aside from the location & view was the seamless collaboration between them & all of my other vendors! Their communication with our photographer (Maria Kandalova), DJ (Jeremy Russell), and I Do OBX led to a day of minimal stress for me and my family! I trusted that Miha was keeping everyone on rhe same page! They were also super accommodating of all of our more out-there requests (such as me having milk in my champagne glass instead of champagne, adding a Mac n cheese buffet option for picky eaters, or all of my mom’s felt flowers!!) Everything was fantastic!! 💕 10/10 would recommend!

Wedding day of my daughter's dreams at the Kitty Hawk Pier House!!

Dream team! I can't say enough about the event team at Kitty Hawk Pier House! From beginning to end, Miha was helpful, patient and kind. She listened to us (parents of the bride) as we explained what our daughter and the groom were hoping the day to be like. She provided words of wisdom to us as we navigated all of the planning, sharing tidbits of ideas and also helped tremendously with finalizing our menus for the day. Miha is a gem and has such a calming presence about her that even on the day of when I was helping to make magic happen for my daughter and now son-in-law, she was easy going and positive! The HGI event team worked seamlessly with our fabulous arbor and chair vendor (IDO Obx) to setup the pier ceremony exactly as my daughter hoped for - facing North to the beaches where she grew up. And also with the amazing Maria Kandalova, Outer Banks Photography and awesome Jeremy Russell, Outer Banks Wedding Entertainment. The food for the cocktail hour was so yummy, especially the vegetarian quesadillas and cocktail shrimp. Oh and the artichoke dip too! And the buffet dinner was also super yummy - quality food and plenty of it! We also had an ice cream sundae bar that was a huge hit because it was a hot day! The servers and bartender were super helpful and friendly too - lots of smiling faces. The entire night was JUST as we had all hoped thanks to the Kitty Hawk Pier House team and our great vendors. THANK YOU! Also, the newly renovated lobby and guest rooms were super impressive! Our family members and friends who stayed at the HGI for the wedding weekend couldn't say enough about the helpfulness of the staff and cleanliness of the hotel. The updates to the restaurant in the lobby and the overall amenities made such a difference for our guests.

The Hilton Garden is your one stop shopping for amazingly modern accommodations, service and a very unique venue, on the pier and beach for your wedding. The staff is beyond amazingly helpful and professional. It's all good at the Hilton Garden Inn!

Brooke Mayo Photography Brooke Mayo Photography Wedding Photographers

There aren't many places you can say "I Do" and dance the night away over the ocean but you can at KHP!!! You have the beach, pier and a gorgeous indoor option inside the pier house if it's needed. The staff is wonderful and makes sure every little detail is taken care of. It's a photographers dream to shoot here!!

There are certain venues on the Outer Banks considered Diamonds. The Hilton Garden Inn is for sure one of those top 5 diamonds found on these barrier islands. The vintage Pier House is so cool and a perfect place to make a memory that will stand for all time. I've had the honor of performing many weddings along with the wonderful Hilton Garden Inn staff like Miha, and enjoyed every minute of it. First class from start to finish.
