Hilton Richmond Hotel & Spa offers modern luxury and exceptional convenience for wedding celebrations. The expansive Capital Ballroom features impressive 22-foot-high ceilings and can accommodate up to 1,000 guests, making it one of the largest ballroom spaces in the Richmond region. With 22,000 square feet of flexible event space, 254 guest rooms and suites, the onsite Aura Spa, and Shula's American Steak House, this full-service hotel provides everything needed for a complete wedding weekend experience.

The Capital Ballroom's grand scale and soaring ceilings create exceptional opportunities for dramatic lighting transformations. Professional uplighting accentuates the ballroom's impressive height and architectural proportions, casting customized color washes across the walls that enhance any wedding palette. The venue's neutral color scheme provides a perfect blank canvas for complete personalization through lighting design.
Custom drapery installations offer versatile solutions for transforming the ballroom's atmosphere and covering existing wall features, including the mural, to create a completely customized aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling fabric treatments can soften the expansive space, define separate areas within the ballroom, or create elegant backdrops behind the sweetheart table. Luxurious fabric canopies suspended from the soaring ceilings add romantic dimension and visual interest while transforming the room's scale.

Pin spotting ensures every important detail receives focused illumination, from elaborate floral centerpieces to the wedding cake and head table displays. Strategic placement of pin spots highlights focal points throughout the evening, creating depth and drawing attention to the elements that matter most. The ballroom's flexible layout allows for creative lighting configurations that adapt to any reception style.

Professional audio systems ensure crystal-clear sound throughout the ballroom and pre-function spaces. With experienced event coordinators, award-winning catering from Shula's, convenient hotel accommodations for guests, and ample free parking, the Hilton Short Pump delivers seamless full-service hospitality. The venue's combination of impressive scale, modern amenities, and sophisticated lighting and drapery enhancements creates an unforgettable setting for grand celebrations in Richmond's most convenient West End location.
