After you submit your wedding inquiry, your assigned Catering Sales Manager will reach out to discuss your vision, guest count, and event timeline. During this initial conversation, they'll walk you through:

• Available ceremony and reception venues
• Wedding package options and pricing

• Next steps to schedule a venue tour

This personalized consultation ensures we understand your needs before you visit the resort. Appointments are strongly recommended and typically scheduled Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

Your wedding planning journey at Hilton Daytona Beach involves two dedicated professionals:

Catering Sales Manager: Your first point of contact who handles initial inquiries, venue tours, contract negotiations, pricing, and room block coordination. They'll guide you from inquiry through contract signing.

Catering Services Manager: Once your contract is signed, the Catering Services Manager takes over to coordinate all event logistics, including menu finalization, vendor collaboration, event timelines, floor diagrams, and day-of execution.

This two-person approach ensures you have specialized expertise at every stage, from booking to "I do." Both managers work closely with your wedding planner or day-of coordinator to ensure seamless communication.

Venue tours at Hilton Daytona Beach are strongly recommended and can be scheduled by contacting your Catering Sales Manager directly or calling 386-947-8012.

• View ceremony and reception venues

To officially secure your wedding date at Hilton Daytona Beach, you'll need to complete the following:

• Signed Contract: Your Catering Sales Manager will prepare and send your wedding contract via Sertifi, an online contract platform. Review it carefully and address any questions before signing.
• Initial Deposit: Submit your initial deposit using a credit card authorization form or alternate payment method specified in your contract.
• Credit Card Authorization Form: Required for deposit processing and future payments.

Once your signed contract and deposit are received, your wedding date is officially reserved. Your Catering Services Manager will then send an introductory email to begin detailed planning.

Don't forget: You'll also need to obtain your Florida marriage license separately through Volusia County. Licenses must be secured at least 3 days before your ceremony (or immediately with premarital counseling completion).

Yes! Hilton Daytona Beach offers complimentary menu tastings for two guests (typically the couple). Additional guests may attend for an extra fee.

Tastings are scheduled Tuesday through Thursday during off-peak hours at the Executive Chef's discretion and must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance. Your menu selections must be approved before scheduling.

During your tasting, you'll sample:

• Appetizers and salad options
• Entrée selections (plated or buffet)
• Side dishes and accompaniments

Coordinate your tasting through your Catering Services Manager up to 3 months before your wedding date. Our culinary team can also create customized menus for dietary needs or cultural preferences—perfect for South Asian weddings or specialty requests.

Hilton Daytona Beach partners seamlessly with both our preferred wedding vendors and outside professionals you choose. All vendors must be licensed and insured, with a minimum of $1 million in event liability insurance.

Your Catering Services Manager collaborates directly with your vendors on:

• Event timelines and coordination
• Load-in and load-out schedules
• Setup requirements and venue logistics
• Day-of communication

Preferred vendors are pre-approved and familiar with our venues, but you're welcome to bring your own florist, photographer, DJ, or other professionals. Vendor insurance certificates must be submitted 21 days before your wedding.

Yes! Wedding rehearsals can be scheduled the day before your ceremony, subject to venue availability. Coordinate with your Catering Services Manager to reserve time in your ceremony location.

Rehearsals typically last 30-60 minutes and allow your wedding party, officiant, and planner to walk through processional order, timing, and logistics. Your Catering Services Manager will ensure the space is set up and ready for your run-through.

Pro tip: Pair your rehearsal with a rehearsal dinner package at the resort for a seamless pre-wedding celebration. Our team can coordinate dinner immediately following your rehearsal in one of our private dining rooms or terraces.

On your wedding day, the Catering Services Manager oversees all event logistics to ensure a flawless experience. Here's what to expect:

• Vendor Coordination: Your Catering Services Manager ensures all vendors (florist, DJ, photographer, etc.) arrive on time and complete load-in and setup as scheduled.
• Banquet Team Introduction: You'll be introduced to your dedicated Banquet Captain and Banquet Manager, who serve as your primary contacts throughout the ceremony and reception.
• Seamless Transitions: The Catering Services Manager remains on-site through cocktail hour and the start of meal service, then transitions responsibilities to the banquet team for the remainder of the evening.
• Bridal Ready Room: Use our complimentary bridal suite for hair, makeup, and getting ready with your wedding party.

Your wedding planner or day-of coordinator works alongside our team to manage timing, cue music, and handle any last-minute details. You can relax and enjoy every moment—we've got the rest covered.

Yes! After your wedding concludes, your Catering Services Manager will reach out within a few days to:

• Recap the event and ensure everything met your expectations
• Address any feedback or concerns
• Coordinate final invoicing and payments
• Arrange pickup of any personal items left behind
