I had no expectations when I arrived at the Hilton Pearl River in New Jersey for this wedding, as I had never been there or photographed a wedding at that venue before. However, I can confidently say that this venue is a hidden gem. The European-inspired architecture is incredibly photogenic, and the surrounding trees create a perfect backdrop for outdoor wedding ceremonies in late spring, summer, and fall.
Does Hilton Pearl River have an outdoor ceremony space?
Yes, basically the backyard. It’s vast and ideal for ceremonies 1-2 hours before sunset.
What makes Hilton Pearl River the best choice for a wedding?
It’s conveniently located 30-45 minutes to NYC
It’s conveniently located 45-60 minutes to JFK airport
It’s a hotel, so all your traveling guests can stay at your wedding venue without the worry of drinking and driving or arranging additional shuttle service costs
The outdoor ceremony space is the perfect setting for a fall, late spring, and summer wedding.
The bride gets a bridal attendant, making them feel like royalty and the most important person.
