    Fantastic wedding venue

    From the time we scheduled our wedding date, Lauren Rawls was always available to every question we had. As the date approached, Lauren was on top of every detail possible. On the day of the rehearsal and wedding, Lauren was professional, a calming presence, and extremely attentive and knowledgeable to each member of the wedding party. The staff at Hilton were all amazing and helpful. The venue for the ceremony and reception were beautiful and perfect.
    Many of our wedding party were very impressed with the attention to detail that was given to our wedding. Thank you, Lauren, for making our special day absolutely beautiful.

    Best wedding day!!

    From day 1 Lauren was on the ball!! Throughout the year she stayed in contact and helped make planning and organizing things seamless. The day of the wedding she was a true rockstar. From assisting with some vendor issues to ensuring we had everything we needed she was absolutely perfect! She even noticed we were doing to much dancing to eat and had some of the wedding food brought to our room. I couldn’t recommend a better venue and coordinator than Lauren!!

    The best day!

    I cannot recommend Hilton Pensacola Beach enough for a destination wedding venue. They truly think of everything and make the process so easy for the couple. From plates to alcohol to chairs to food, they have it all covered. The convenience of having everything included in one package is unbeatable. The prices are very reasonable considering all that you receive.

    The wedding coordinator, Lauren, was an absolute gem. She was quick to respond to emails and provided invaluable guidance throughout the entire process. Lauren took amazing care of us all weekend, ensuring that we had to do nothing except enjoy our special day. Her calming presence helped ease any anxiety I had, and I cannot thank her enough for that.

    If given the chance, I would choose to get married at Hilton Pensacola Beach every year. The experience was that incredible. 1000/10 recommend to any couple looking for a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.

    Amazing!

    Omg!!! I am going to try and make this experience shirt as possible. FREAKING AMAZING!!! I was nervous to risk having a destination wedding and trusting a coordinator would be attentive to our needs. Lauren was so amazing, sweet, attentive, responsive, and absolutely astonishing after meeting her. She was great from start to finish and my wedding was amazing. You will love her from the jump. When we realized an hurricane could affect our special day, Lauren reassured us she was going to do everything to give us our destination beach wedding and she did. And she recommended the coolest officiant Rev Adam’s who was professional, funny, and my family adored him. So much more to say but overall the experience was more than we could imagine. Please choose Lauren at the Hilton at Pensacola if you decide to tie the knot. You will not regret it.

    Best service

    We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to the whole Hilton Pensacola team. The trip was absolutely spot on!

    Lauren Rawls, the wedding and event coordinator, was amazing to work with, and went above and beyond!

    From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the friendly staff, comfortable accommodations, and convenient location.

    The beach was also incredible!

    August Wedding

    We hands down had the best time hosting our wedding at the Hilton Pensacola Beach! Lauren, the coordinator, is a gem. She is so easy to work with and so flexible! I had zero stress leading up to the wedding as I knew we were in wonderful hands with Lauren assisting. The food is absolutely delicious (recommend the Truffle mac&cheese bites as an app). They were able to work with us to customize the menu - we had a pizza welcome table and added chicken parm as an entree. My husband was beyond thrilled the bar could add his favorite IPA to the bar service. Lauren even brought my husband and I each down a beer to the beach while we were finishing photos so we could enjoy a few moments alone on the beach as husband and wife. These small details that Lauren and Hilton helped us make happen, made our wedding represent “us”! All of the staff at the hotel were welcoming, friendly and kind. Our guests loved relaxing at the beach and the pools. The rooms were comfortable and the bridal suite was perfect for getting ready in and having hair and make up done on site. We are already planning to spend our first anniversary at the Hilton!

    Our dream wedding!!

    Lauren and the Hilton did phenomenal. We did not have to worry about a thing. The service was top notch, their flexibility was amazing, and everything was gorgeous. Lauren made the experience seamless and easy, coordinating for us, assisting in decisions, and keeping us on schedule. Could not recommend her/the Hilton Pensacola more!

    Tickle / Oates Wedding

    Brian & I were just married this past Sunday, August 4th, 2024 at The Hilton in Pensacola Beach, Florida. We had the most perfect wedding and the best experience we could have imagined! It really was a dream wedding. Our wedding coordinator, Lauren Rawls was exceptional!! She is very professional and personable. She made everything about our wedding so easy and stress free. She totally went above and beyond from the minute we met her last September. She communicated with us all throughout the year all the way down to the very end when the wedding and reception was over. It took so much pressure off of us so we could actually relax and be in the moment. Lauren clearly excels at what she does and The Hilton is lucky to have her.
    We did use some of her preferred vendor recommendations and that was the best choice we made. Bryan Adams " The Beach Preacher" was our efficient and also our DJ. He was the life of the party, everyone loved him, he knew how to play off of everyone's vibes with the music keeping us on the dance floor all night! His wife, Jennifer is an amazing photographer. She captured all moments and then some! It feels like when we go back and look at all the pictures and videos that we are still there at the beach experiencing it all over again. There are so many photos we are having a hard time picking favorites.
    We highly recommend if you want the best experience for a beach wedding this is the place!!

    Beautiful Beach Wedding

    Getting married on Pensacola Beach was an easy decision since my family has been vacationing there for 35 years. We were immediately interested in having our ceremony and reception at the Hilton. We are extremely glad that we did! Everything was wonderful! The food was delicious, the room was decorated nicely, the officiant was great, and the beach ceremony set up was beautiful. Our guests found the Hilton to be a perfect place to stay, especially those traveling with children. We are both so grateful that we had Lauren as our wedding planner and day of coordinator. Lauren helped us every step of the way and made planning our big day easy and fun. She clearly communicated as we worked out the details and was always quick to answer our questions. On the day of the wedding she was very helpful. We may be bias since it was our wedding but we felt it was the best wedding we have been to! We also LOVED our photographer who was recommended by the Hilton, Nikki Golden photography and our band, Nobius. It was the most wonderful beach wedding!

    Best Decision Ever!

    Lauren who manages the weddings was amazing! She made our wedding day better than I could even imagine. She handles several locations in the area and knows what she is doing. She got BeachPreacher Rev. Bryan Adam’s and his wife as the photographer (Lauren, Reverend, and his wife pictured below) who were just as great and patient as Lauren. Lauren is very responsive, available, and there for anything you may need (including breaking your toe on your big day lol). You can walk easily between the pools to the surrounding hotels which are Hilton, Holiday inn resort, Hampton inn, & Fairfield/Marriott which is great when family are at different locations.

    Excellent experience

    Lauren and her team were great to work with. She is very responsive and professional. Her team was super helpful when I saw the head table, DJ table and cake tables weren’t exactly what I had envisioned. They quickly made suggestions and changes that truly made a difference for my reception. Lauren was on top of everything we needed for our rehearsal, ceremony and reception. She truly made our day so easy to enjoy with our family and friends.

    Beach wedding of my dreams!

    I had the best wedding & experience with Hilton Pensacola. Lauren was amazing, kind, professional, and handled everything I needed. The staff was so kind, even the next morning we got free breakfast & champagne! The beach set up was gorgeous and Lauren went above and beyond to ensure it was my dream wedding! The reception room was amazing with a private balcony. We felt so loved and would 1000% recommend Lauren & Hilton Pensacola for your beach wedding!
