"Hiltonview was such a dream venue to host our Wedding in November 2024. Beautifully kept grounds, delicious catering, friendly and professional staff and of course the train rides had all our guests raving about the venue to us the following day. Christine (Owner) is full of knowledge about the wedding industry and was happy to help with everything from vendor recommendations to supplying equipment to assisting with curating our timeline and making our day super special to us. Becs (Bar Lead) managed an efficient and busy service, our cocktail hour was an absolute hit and she and her team coped kindly and professionally with our 'rowdier' guests to ensure a safe and fun night for all. We did a large portion of our planning from the North Island and it was still super easy to communicate and achieve our vision. Christine and her team were absolute superstars on the day and ensured a smooth order of events collaborating well with our other vendors, we were regularly checked in on and made to feel at home. We stayed onsite to get all our portraits/photos done because the gardens and grounds are so beautiful and tidy, giving us more time to enjoy with our guests. I truly could not recommend a Venue and Team more than I recommend Hiltonview for a Wedding or Event!!"
