The Hilton Vancouver Washington is located near the Columbia River in the heart of downtown Vancouver and minutes from downtown Portland and the Portland airport. The Hilton sales, catering, and hospitality team hosted their annual Holiday Preview Tasting the other evening and pulled out all of the stops. The Vancouver/Portland area’s top event decorators had their own rooms to transform and showcase what they do.
Attendees – which included both current Hilton clients who have an event planned sometime in the future as well as prospects – were able to sample food, talk with vendors and Hilton staff, and visualize how they might like their banquet, reception, or party take shape. Each banquet space and meeting room featured different culinary items as well as a bar specializing in a different type of drink. If you died and went to heaven, it might look something like this.
There was entertainment, too: live music, a photo booth, DJ, casino party, magician Jeff Evans, and more.
