Yes, I am a lurker and have finally decided to ask a question as you ladies appear to be very helpful. FI and I are having our ceremony and reception at the Christiana Hilton. The price we have is very reasonable and it includes everything (including a suite the night of our wedding, an ice sculpture, and five hour open bar)...I am just wondering if anyone has attended a wedding &/or reception there as am not from DE (FI lives there).
Thanks!
Re: Has anyone attended a wedding at the Christiana Hilton? Comments on the locationand service please!

Two questions: 1- Were you charged to reserve the gazebo for your ceremony?
2- Which florist and bakery did you select and how were they overall?
1 - My sister was charged to use the gazebo. I want to say $750, but Im not 100% sure.
2. - Donna used Judy for flowers (Creations for Celebrations or something like that) and her flowers were beautiful. I tried to book her after meeting Judy at a bridal show, and couldnt get a hold of her after almost 6 weeks of emails and phone calls. It seems like if you can book with her, your flowers are amazing and great prices, but shes very difficult to get ahold of initially.
She used Sweets to you by Ginger for the cake - and OMG sooo yummy.
Again, sorry I answered for Donna - but I was just trying to help
Anyway, yes, we were charged to book the gazebo. It was $1000 to reserve it for a Saturday night.
Judy from Creations for Celebrations was great to work with, and the flowers were gorgeous and amazingly affordable prices. It is true she can be hard to get a hold of, but the end result is worth it :-) She may not call back in a timely fashion, but she ALWAYS comes through on the wedding day.
Sweets to you by Ginger is amazing. The cake was gorgeous, picture perfect, EXACTLY what I wanted. All I had to pay was a small upgrade of $60 to have white chocolate draping added to the cake. But we got to choose 4 different flavors, and the 1 bite I had was delicious...unfortunately I didn't get to try the rest of it!
It's true that I'm not here on the boards as much as I used to be, so if you have any more questions or want to chat, feel free to e-mail me at donnalynn279 at comcast dot net :-)
