Felt like a member of their family.

From the minute we started planning until we checked out, Danielle and all of the Bilmar staff made us feel at home. I went into my wedding week with zero stress. The vendors they recommended were amazing and professional. My day of coordinator, Alyssa was the absolute best! The rooms were clean, accessible and what I expected from the description and photos.

We had three guests with Celiacs and one vegan and the Chef was caring, attentive and educating on the food. He made special meals for all of them, that weren't like other events where the "substitute" food was a pile of veggies.

Every single staff member from housekeeping, maintenance and pool attendants were phenomenal. We literally did not want to leave. We plan on going back again as soon as possible!

Best Day Ever!

We booked the Bilmar a year and a half in advance. Their contracts and all kinds of things changer between when we booked and when the wedding was. They honored every single thing we outlined in our contract and then some. Danielle did a fabulous job taking over handling everything that happened in that time frame with a smile on her face. It was not an easy task, let me tell you.
Kara, our day of coordinator was AMAZING! The day ran smoothly and without a hitch. Chef did an amazing job with the food and even made my queso fountain dream come true!! Kudos to the entire team!
