Any other Hilton brides out there?

 

When I search this site for people who are doing their weddings or have done their weddings at the Hilton, there doesn't seem to be a ton of postings and most of the are several years ago, with different WCs than current work there.

 

Our wedding is planned for the Hilton Los Cabos on October 25th, 2014, and I'm very eager to talk to anyone about their experiences, costs, negotiating, vendors, suggestions, etc. etc.

 

While the WC's have been very polite, there are often large lags between email responses, or I'll have to send reminders to them to please respond to my emails.  Also, I've had to ask specifically multiple times before I've found out if I could get a thing or service through the hotel.  I'd like to know what options are available through the hotel at a cost and what I need to provide or get a vendor to provide (such as decorations, lighting, sound systems, dance floors, etc.) but it seems I can only get an answer if I ask if they provide something very specific.  If I give too open of a question like "What types of decorations does the hotel have on hand that they can provide, either free or for a cost", I end up getting a general answer regarding 'standard set up'.  

 

Anyone have any experiences like this?  Any sage words of wisdom in how to improve communication?

I have no experience with the wedding side, but work  flew me out there for an awards trip last year and the HIlton was gorgeous!  The area on the beach for the parties was phenomenal, as was the food.  Gorgeous rooms, and we loved the swim up bars!  They did a great job with our nightly events (first night was poolside, in a fiesta decor, so fun!) and the other nights were down on the beach.  Get the light up dance floor if you can - it was SO much fun!

We are looking into the Hilton Los Cabos as well, do you know what the price is per person?  I've been doing some research on other hotels and there prices seem to be extreme.

@@jjordang So sorry for the late response.  Prices per person vary on the food and drink options you select for your guests.  I believe open bar for 4 hours was ~$90 and then they have different buffets (starting at ~$95/person) or plated options, which would depend on the guests selection, and of course any canapes, cocktail hour stations, etc. are priced per station as well.
