Beautiful venue for the wedding we attended. However, the noise from PCH was pretty loud and the microphone did not work evenly throughout the service. You really want to hear the vows when you're at a wedding. Another thing I noticed was that when you look out at the beach you very clearly see all of the little food stands and fuss and muss that's present on the street side of the beach. There's nothing the resort can actually do about that but I think it's something to be considered if you're planning to have your wedding or some other affair at the Waterfront Hilton. The food was very good. The wait staff were very pleasant, every one of them that we have contact with. I don't know if the DJ was provided by the Waterfront or from an independent company but he was not great. The choice of music he made was not very conducive to keeping the crowd dancing. Also the reception/banquet hall was kept way to warm. People kept leaving to step outside and cool off. It was very nice, but could have been a little better managed.
