If you’re even thinking about using Nicotra’s Ballroom as your wedding venue—take this as your sign and DO IT!
My husband and I aren’t from the NY area, so choosing a venue remotely was tough. We flew in to tour several places, and Nicotra’s completely blew the others out of the water. I’m so glad we chose it!
First of all—have you seen the gardens?! The gazebo is absolutely stunning and made the perfect backdrop for our photos. Our guests loved wandering the breathtaking grounds during cocktail hour.
From the start, our event coordinator Lory was amazing. She was super responsive, helpful, and made planning from out of state so much easier. By the end of the year-long planning process, she honestly felt like family—to me, my husband, and even my parents. I dropped off decor ahead of time and they took care of everything. No stress, no last-minute scrambling.
On the big day, our bridal attendant Jenn was an angel. She made sure I had everything I needed—food, drinks, support—and stayed by my side the whole night.
We held cocktail hour in the Trevi Garden and the reception in the main ballroom. I’m still getting texts from guests saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. There was SO much of it during cocktail hour (and every bite was delicious). Dinner was just as impressive—even the vegetables were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Better than most restaurants!
At the end of the night, the staff went above and beyond. They packed up our leftover food (and there was a lot), beautifully boxed our cake, and left a chilled bottle of champagne with a sweet note in our suite. The next day, Lory even stopped by to check on us—just the kindest touch.
Having the wedding at the Hilton made everything so convenient. Our guests just partied, took the elevator upstairs, and went to bed. No shuttles, no chaos, and I didn’t have to pack or clean up a single thing. They handled it all.
As a bride who planned everything myself, I wanted a venue that would make the process as easy and inclusive as possible. Nicotra’s handled the tables, chairs, linens, food, drinks, cake, lighting, dance floor—everything.
So if you’re looking for a wedding venue, stop. This is the one. I promise you won’t regret it!
