We fell in love with Destin when we first time visiting there. When we picking up wedding venue, we went to a couple places in the country and ended up with choosing Hilton Sandestin as the one. Sarah is super sweet to work with. She's super patient and enthusiastic girl. Her personality is a great fit for what you do. I don’t remember how many questions I asked, I don’t know how many emails we have exchanged, I don’t know how even she could handle all these! She is so GOOD!
The venue is so gorgeous and perfect for holding a small to medium sized wedding. Blue sky, emerald water plus white sand, everything is just as amazing as it can be! All the people on site are absolutely hospitable and nice. They provided the best service ever.
It's the wedding venue I would strongly recommend to everybody! -

We could not be more pleased with our experience at the Hilton Sandestin! We had a beach ceremony with an indoor reception in the Emerald Ballroom on 8/25/18!! Everything was perfect! Every vendor far exceeded our expectations and Sarah Wandall with the Hilton made everything come together seamlessly! We are from Louisiana and booked our wedding sight unseen. We planned the entire wedding in 3.5 months, but you would’ve thought we had been planning it for a year based on the way everything turned out. We were so impressed with the venue, the food, the flowers, the day of coordinators, the DJ, the photographer... I could go on and on. If you are looking for a beautiful, elegant, low stress beach wedding, look no further!!! -

The Sandestin Hilton was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding. The service was wonderful. We had our rehearsal dinner and a sit down dinner for the reception. The presentation and the food was wonderful. It was a beautiful beach wedding and then we had the dinner and reception in the Coral Ballroom. It was amazing. The staff attended to our every need. -

I would highly recommend the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa as a venue for your destination wedding. Carol Juneau, our wedding coordinator was the first person we met at our initial visit to this venue. She was so professional and we immediately knew we were in good hands. Every step was explained clearly to us and she answered our many questions. Our phone calls and emails were returned in a timely manner which was important to us as we only had 6 months to plan this wedding. She put together a tasting that we were fortunate enough to enjoy and it was spectacular! We met the chef who was very kind to go over all of our food choices and wedding cake selections. You will have many food choices and packages at different price points to fit your budget. The wedding ceremony and reception were held in the Coral Ballroom. Both the set ups for the ceremony and reception were incredibly Beautiful and went absolutely perfectly! The food was delicious the presentation was spot on and the wedding cake was gorgeous not to mention tasted heavenly! The drinks and music continued to be enjoyed all throughout the evening:) All went as planned with Carol, her entire staff at the Hilton including the in-house reservationists and with our Serenity Spa appointments . The wedding was on time and went so smoothly thanks to Carol and Kristi our wedding planner. We were actually even a little ahead of our time line schedule:) We enjoyed this wedding celebration so much that we wish we could do it all again:)) You will surely enjoy all that the resort has to offer including the restaurants, the pools, the gorgeous beaches and all that Florida Sunshine! -

Erin Story is absolutely wonderful! She helped us pull off the wedding of our dreams, completely exceeding all of our expectations! The venue was absolutely breathtaking, the catering was fabulous, the spa for my hair and makeup was better than I could have hoped for. Erin was able to help us every step of the way, answering all of our questions and helping us navigate the entire experience. And the catering - our guests are still raving about the food at our wedding! Linda Sherman in the spa was so helpful in getting all of the spa services scheduled for me and my bridal party and made the experience so relaxing. -

There was a little kaos at first, but as soon as Carol took over it was smooth sailing. Our wedding was on the beach & reception on the deck. It was absolutely beautiful, went very smoothly, and I couldn't have asked Carol for anything better! She did an amazing job & I couldn't have been happier! We used a lot of their vendors including for our cakes which turned out beautiful! So happy with how everything turned out! -

My husband and I researched quite a few venues in Destin before we decided on the Hilton Sandestin Beach & Golf Resort. Our coordinator, Erin, was such a pleasure to work with and always kept us in the loop. From the beginning of the planning process, we were impressed with how easy the Hilton made it. We purchased one of their wedding packages and added to it as needed. The vendors they selected for us were absolutely amazing, and we couldn't have picked them any better ourselves. If you're looking for an all-inclusive destination wedding package, the Hilton Sandestin is your perfect match! We truly had our dream wedding, and we couldn't have done it without this amazing venue!Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa's reply:
Thanks Ashley! You and Chett were a joy to work with! I LOVED your first dance- so original and cute, just like you two! The fireworks at the end of the night were PERFECT! We look forward to seeing you back some time soon!

All of our dreams came true on my daughters wedding day. Choosing the Hilton was the best decision we could have made. Everything was amazing and we wouldn't have changed a thing about the wedding. I will have to add that I would not choose the Serenity by the Sea Spa again. They did a terrible job on my makeup and hair and as the Mother of the Bride I was pretty upset with their work. Other than that though everything else was awesome. -

We had the most incredible wedding on May 9th at the Hilton Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. From the planning to the food to all of the vendor connections, Carol the wedding event planner was spot on in making everything execute perfectly and truly giving us the wedding of our dreams . We planned our wedding from a distance and the staff was amazing in their support in planning a destination event. We planned our ceremony and reception out of the sunset deck which was incredible and the resort also helped set us up with a bonfire with wine, champagne and smores for guests coming in town on the beach. We could not have ask for anything more. It was the most incredible resort, the staff is amazing and all of the vendors that come with the wedding packages are all 5 star people to work with. Thank you all for contributing everything big and small to make our whole week incredible. We wish we could do it all again!!! -

using a venue site unseen can be worriesome. the hilton delivered a beautiful venue and the food was fabulous.
all of our guests commented about how great the location and setting were. the beach set up for the ceremony
and outdoor deck for the reception were exactly what we wanted and we were not dissappointed! we went with a package
that provided everything - officiant, music, flowers. all we had to do was make a few choices when talking to these vendors and they
handled everything. the best service was that of a day of coordinator who took care of all the details so all i had to do was show up! -

Absolutely loved this venue and highly recommend to anyone considering a destination wedding. By using their awesome vendors, I got to enjoy wedding planning and had a completely stress free day. Erin Plumley, their wedding coordinator, is fantastic to work with. She ensured my day was exactly as planned and went flawlessly!Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa's reply:
Thanks Katelin! What a great wedding! I can't decide if my favorite part was Lola's surprise appearance, or the groom's cake! You and Chad were such a great couple and a pleasure to work with! Congratulations again Mr. and Mrs. Holmes! Thank you for sharing your day with us!

We had our wedding on the beach at the Hilton and reception on one of the outside decks. Erin Plumley was great to work with through the whole process of getting everything set up and organized. April Blake did a great job the day of coordinating our ceremony and reception and making sure everything went smoothly. We had a stress free, beautiful wedding and the Hilton did a great job making it so easy for us! I would recommend having a wedding on the beach in Destin to anyone and everyone! :)Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa's reply:
Thanks Kelsey! Can I tell you that your dress is still on my Top Ten list for 2015! You were a stunning bride! Thank you for sharing your day with us and we hope to see you here soon! You should make a visit before the first snow in CO and check out all of the cool local festivals we have going on! Cheers!

I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Linda Sherman from the Serenity Day Spa and she was amazing. We had a party of about 14 girls for the day before my wedding and she worked with me over many weeks to make sure everything was just perfect. Linda helped us to make sure that all of our appointments were scheduled close to each other so we could all enjoy the spa together (BOOK EARLY) and she also assisted with the changes that we had to make (changes definitely pop up when dealing with 14 girls. Linda helped us order some nice refreshments that they had presented very nicely upon our arrival. The spa itself is beautiful. We enjoyed champagne in our robes before enjoying our treatments. We got different treatments and they were all wonderful. We loved the steam room, the sauna and the whirlpool. Everything was great. But what was most wonderful was Linda's assistance in making it all happen. It is certainly not the easiest job in the world to coordinate 14 ladies treatments who all live in different states. I live in West Palm Beach and planned the entire wedding remotely and having someone that replies (always) promptly and with such great information is so very important. We had some good friends of ours who were staying at the Hilton and they too said everything was top notch. And the amazing front desk staff assisted me with getting them their welcome bag. To Linda at the spa and her team, thank you so much. It was such a memorable experience and I hope this review will help encourage other brides to create this experience for their wedding party. -

The Sandestin Hilton provided the perfect "one-stop shop" for our destination beach wedding. The event planner at the Hilton served as our wedding planner and organized everything from the setup on the beach to the flowers, officiant, music, photography, security, and the reception. It was all beyond fantastic. We made several changes up to the day before and everything was exactly as we wanted it on the big day. The beach was beautiful and the food at the reception was outstanding. -

7-8-14 was an absolute dream come true! Pure perfection. Kelli and all the Hilton Staff were truly amazing and helpful in every aspect. Everything went so smooth and easy. The entire ceremony and reception turned out wonderful. Beyond my wildest dreams. The ceremony was set up perfectly for all the guests, the catering was phenomenally delicious (all guests complimented how delicious everything was!), the DJ was also superb with their entertainment skills. My calf muscles were sore the next day from dancing away the night. The officiant, James Ross, made our vow ceremony so special. I requested to change a few things due to my passing father, and he made the ceremony so special to me and my family! The Florist, Patty and her assistant (daughter) Amber, did incredible on my bouquet, boutonniere, our wedding cake, and our last minute change to the arbor. Linda Sherman from the Serenity by the Sea was such a pleasure to work with. She was prompt on returning any questions I had about our Spa Day and was glad to make any changes we had with our appointments. Linda became a friend by the end of all this. Shes incredible. Karen, my hairstylist... I'm speechless with her amazing skills. I am searching for the right words to say about her to give her the credit she deserves. Shes AWESOME! My hair was something I continuously worried about and wanted to turn out perfect. I am seriously so blessed. Everything exceeded my expectations. I am still blown away with all the kindness, hard work, talent, all these people put into this day for me. Blessed. I'm truly blessed.
These memories will last forever and I will never forget all the hard work everyone put into our wedding day to make it the most extraordinary day of our lives. Everyone was awesome and I couldn't ask for a better place to have our wedding day! -

Kelli Sprague and her team went above and beyond for our wedding on 6/28/14. There was not a single thing that was missed and my night was absolutely perfect. We had never been to the hilton and didn't know what anything looked or tasted like. Everything was a dream come true. I no longer consider Kelli my wedding planner, she is now a friend for life. Her attention to detail was just remarkable and all of our little special requests were granted and taken cared of without any questions asked. Thanks again for everything my girl, you are a 10 in the Kerne household. -

Everyone always wants their wedding to be perfect. Luckily for us we used the Hilton Sandestin. They took so much pride in making our day a special memory. Every question was answered and each detail was covered; even the details we forgot about were covered. From the ceremony to the food at the reception it was all great. -

I had both my wedding and reception here on May 17, 2014 and I couldn't be happier with the results. The wedding was on the beach and the reception was on the deck outside. Kelli Sprague, the wedding coordinator, was there every step of the way and helped coordinate with the vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. This allowed me to relax the day of the wedding and enjoy the day instead of worrying about all the details the day of the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding or reception. The food and cake were both excellent and all the vendors Kelli recommended were wonderful to work with as well as did beautiful work. All of my guests really enjoyed themselves and a few of my family members said they would look into getting married there when the time comes. I would highly recommend Hilton Sandestin to anyone planning a wedding. -

Kelli Spague and the entire staff at the Hilton made our daughter's wedding everything that we had hoped and planned for. The chefs prepared items which were not on the typical wedding menu and it was a huge success. Guests were astounded at the variety of stations and the fresh seafood. "The food was extraordinaire" according to all of our guests. Presentation of the food was beautifully prepared and there was an abundance of every food item. The wait staff were very prompt and gracious to all the guests. The bar setup was perfect and no one had to wait for a drink at any time. The food that was passed as guests arrived and before and as they departed was unexpected by the guests, but was Lagniappe.
We worked with Savoir-Faire's, Stephanie Tate and with Marja from Florals by the Sea, as well as some of the other vendors on the list. I cannot say enough about Kelli, Stephanie, Marja , and their companies. All of them exceeded our expectations. This was a very large wedding, about 300 guests, and it was important for everyone to work together. Rik did a great job with all of the special effects lighting . Most guests responded that it was the most beautiful wedding they had attended and we had people come form literally all over the country.
Working with the accounting department was easy and efficient.
I would describe the Hilton staff as very professional and made sure that "true southern hospitality" was at it's best. from the Valet to the Special Events Manger.
I would recommend the Hilton Sandestin to anyone planning a wedding or any other event in the Destin area. They have totally renovated and updated the Conference Center and Ballrooms.

I am writing this with a huge smile on my face—simply because I am oh, so terribly happy with the service and assistance provided at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. This is truly a fan letter!
Eight months ago, I began planning a wedding at the Hilton Sandestin. The woman who worked with me initially, Carolyn, was the most professional and most intelligent person I had ever met. She made my bride and me feel like whatever we wanted was possible. After talking to Carolyn and signing the contract, I trusted her so much that I decided to use the list of vendors that the hotel provided—sight unseen and untested—she earned my trust. If the vendors were anything like this woman, I knew all would be well!
As the time for the wedding grew closer, unbelievably, the service got better! I was introduced to Kristi Purvis, the events coordinator for the Hilton. Kristi went out of her way to make this wedding the best ever held at the Hilton. She also made my bride and groom feel like their event was the only one taking place. I do not have enough words to explain the one-on-one attention that Kristi provided at all hours of the day and night. She was so amazing! By the end of the evening, Kristi was just as hot, sweaty and worn out as I was—that is a testament to her hard work and dedication. She never stopped, she never said no and she never gave up! The running joke was that even though I have a husband---I was quickly falling in love with Kristi. She made my job easy. Kristi, I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you did—even at the last minute—to make this wedding a success. You are a phenomenal woman and I know that the Hilton got it right by hiring you! You are my hero. If you ever need anything, please call on me!
None of my work could have been done for this wedding without the remarkable staff members and associates of the Hilton Sandestin. -

I had my wedding here, May 31, 2013, and was so pleased with everyone! From checking in, to leaving, everyone that knew I was the bride, pretty much treated me like a princess! I absolutely love Kristi Purvis the event coordinator!! She helped me for months with all my questions and concerns, and when I finally met her, I felt like I already knew her!! At my reception, the staff was awesome! I also wanted to make mention of Carol Chaudoin in reservations.. I called at last min needing an extra room for the groom, and w/o hesitation, she immediately did everything she could to take care of us! She even emailed me all of her info, incase we had any questions.. I feel like everyone here really went above and beyond to make my day very special...I highly recommend this place to get married, or to have your special event! Thank you! Ohhhhh, and I can't forget the pastry chef Yascha Becker.. His signature cake was so good, and the prettiest I have ever seen! Definitely go with him over any outside vendor.. you wont be dissapointed! -

Carolyn Northcott is SO WONDERFUL!! My husband and I wanted to find a perfect place for our destination wedding. One stop at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa, and we had choosen our venue. Carolyn is very responsive and great to work with. Almost anything you ask for, she will provide or find a way to get it to you. They were so very accomodating to us and all of our guests. The ballroom for the reception was amazing, and there was enough food to feed double our guests :) She truly cares about the ceremony and reception. I could not have picked a better venue and staff to work with. We will definitely be going back. THANK YOU SO MUCH :) -

AMAZING! Carolyn Northcott, my event coordinator, was extremely patient and responsive. I could not have asked for a better venue location (Sunrise deck) and hotel for my guests. Further, the food was fantastic! My guests went home with full tummies and a smile on their face. I also used Serenity by the Sea, the hotel's spa, on the morning of my wedding. I had a massage, facial, and mani and pedi. The ladies were so sweet and did an outstanding job. The Hilton Sandestin will forever be a special place for my husband and me. We will return for future anniversary trips. -

We had our wedding at the Sandestin Hilton and planned the entire event in 6 weeks. I could not have done it without their wonderful wedding planner, Carolyn Northcott. She was extremely helpful in getting everything put together quickly. They upgraded our honeymoon suite (included in our package) on the day of the wedding. I was able to watch the set up and guests arriving from my room. They also were able to give me an early check-in. The vendors that she suggested were all very professional and we were pleased with them. I had my hair done for the wedding by one of the stylists at their salon and was very happy with how it turned out. She also helped steer me in a better direction since she had had so much experience with beach weddings and knowing what styles would hold up in the wind. I know that the Hilton holds many events and many weddings, but I can honestly say that they made me feel like my event was special and important to them. -

My daughter wanted a beach wedding. We live four hours from the coast and during the planning phase I was caring for a critically ill family member, so I was concerned about having the time to book vendors and tend to all the details of the wedding. She also wanted an outdoor ceremony and reception with a view of the beach, but not actually on the beach. (We had some elderly family members who were unable to walk down steps or in the sand.). We visited eight venders in the Destin area and the Sandestin Hilton was the perfect solution. The wedding took place on a large deck overlooking the beach, and the reception was on the adjacent deck. Guests had only to walk a few steps to get from one to the other. Of course weather is always a concern for outdoor weddings, but our event planner extraordinaire, Carol Juneau, booked backup indoor spaces for us, at the same time assuring us that every effort would be made to keep the wedding outside. (As it turned out, the week of my daughter's wedding was rainy and we had a few sprinkles the day of the wedding, but Carol called me around noon and said that she had been following the weather and thought we were good to go ahead with everything outdoors. And we did!). I can not say enough good things about Carol! She met with us on our initial visit, gave us a tour of the facilitates, and explained all of our options. We were so impressed that we booked on the spot. Afterward many questions arose, and Carol was extremely responsive, returning my calls and emails promptly. I found the Hilton to be very flexible. They accommodated all of our special requests. But one of the most helpful things for me was that they booked all of our vendors. They handled the all the details of the venue, the food, and the cake. They booked our day-of coordinator, ceremony musicians, D.J., florist, audio-visual service, and photographer. And we could not have been more pleased with every one of them! It was expensive, but worth it! -

Linda and Carol were both amazing to work with. We planned our entire wedding via phone and email from Texas. If you are planning on having a wedding in Destin this is the venue for the ceremony and reception. They made everything happen just as I had dreamed of!!! They allowed us to do an open bar with drink tickets purchased - the ones you don't use they will refund back to you a couple of weeks after the wedding. The hair stylist and makeup at the Hilton Spa were Amazing and decently priced. We visited several venues in Destin to see what they had to offer and the Hilton was perfect. My only complaint would be the response time was a little delayed by the wedding department, but just be patient they will get back to you. Linda with the spa was amazing and her response time was great. Thanks to the entire staff at the Hilton for a perfect wedding. -

I got married here June of 2013 and I was extremely happy with the end result. I planned the wedding in eight months and was worried about the short timeline but the Hilton worked with me and everything turned out beautiful. Carolyn left the Hilton Sandestin during the planning but Kelli stepped in and picked up where we left off. We were taken care of from the rehearsal dinner through the ceremony and reception. At the reception, we ran out of one kind of beer and our captain had more in minutes. My husband and I needed to do absolutely nothing, we had drinks and cake delivered right to our table and didn't need to worry about a thing. Our guests had a fabulous time and we couldn't be more thankful for all of their help! -

The Hilton Sandestin is a beautiful venue. Our wedding was handled so professionally. There was only one incident where it was clear the front desk wasn't a team player with everyone else. Most of our guests were very pleased with the accomodations but several had really warm rooms and the temperature wouldn't cool down. Maintenance came several times but the issue wasn't resolved. Overall it was a wonderful weekend. -

We had to postpone our wedding and Hilton was very accommodating. However, there was a lapse in communication between the postponed date and the new date. Once we got on track with a new planner ( several left ), everything fell into place. Carol Juneau was a VERY gracious planner who was always available. She was genuinely interested in making sure the day went off without a hitch. Because there was the threat of inclement weather, she gave us ample time to make a decision on whether to continue with the entire ceremony and reception outside or in. We kept the ceremony outside ( thank you rain Gods) and brought the reception in. Everything was very intimate and beautiful. Nothing beats the beautiful back drop of the ocean.
Thanks Carol and Hilton for making our day special. -

Felt like it was a bit unorganized for what we paid. I was disappointed the morning of the wedding because there was not a room reserved for me, the bride, to get ready. This was set up at the last minute and then when I did get the room, there were no chairs, tables, or anywhere to hang my dress. I was put in a yoga room which contained nothing but mirrors and yoga equipment. The people in the spa had to get me a chair. Also, I wasn't able to get into the reception room until 4 hours before the ceremony started. I was decorating the room myself. Therefore, I felt very rushed. The facility was very nice and a good place for the money. They just need to get better organized with details. -

Overall, my husband and I were very pleased with how our wedding and reception went. Our beachside ceremony was beautiful and reception in the Coral Ballroom was very nice. The vendors hired by the Hilton were top notch. However, we were very disappointed with some things that happened “behind the scenes:”
- We found out after we signed the contract that none of the Hilton wedding packages include many standard wedding services such as decorations, full coverage by the photographer, lighting/AV equipment, the groom’s cake, or the bridal suite. We were quoted upwards of $3-4k for these items. So much for an all-inclusive package!
- Two months before my wedding, I found out that the Hilton Wedding Coordinator (Carolyn Northcott) was no longer with the Hilton, which probably explains why I didn't hear from her very much. I had a similar experience with the new Hilton Wedding Coordinator (Kristi Purvis). In general, Kristi was very polite and professional the times I did speak with her, but she was definitely not detail-oriented and not always quick to respond. If you don’t have a planner, you’d better get one! (Fortunately for me, I did!).
- The reception room was supposed to be available for decorating at 3pm the day of the wedding (3 hours prior to my wedding), however upon bringing the decorations down to the room at 3, we were told the room was not going to be available until 4pm because the people who were using it were running late. To Hilton's credit, they started setting up tables in the hallway so the tables could quickly be placed in the room once the room was vacated. Then a mad rush ensued with 6 members of the wedding party getting the tables decorated. Very stressful!
Overall, I would still recommend this venue but would caution any bride to be aware that the Hilton has so many weddings and events going on that yours will be a dime a dozen, so expect issues with some of the finer details.Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa's reply:
Crystal,
Thank you for feedback on your recent wedding experience and it’s valuable information so we can improve our services. The three inclusive wedding packages offered do contain many valued items which the majority of our brides have historically enjoyed over the years. However, because every bride is different as well it is impossible to predict what they may want; the Hilton Sandestin has come up with the most comprehensive packages which have appealed to many brides for their event. Of course, if the bride wants to extend any of the services or add items which are being offered, that is more than welcome as well and we will be more than happy to help in that planning. I understand a “ready room” (bridal suite) was requested with Kristi and I am happy to learn we were able to accommodate this and provide it complimentary to you.
The Hilton Sandestin does make every attempt to ensure prior events especially before wedding receptions end on time however due to circumstances beyond the hotel’s control this was not possible and we apologize for the thirty minute delay of the room set up time. We were very happy to hear that our staff was able to help you to get the room decorated on time.
The Hilton Sandestin is very aware that each bride and wedding is unique in its own way and this is the reason we strongly suggest in our agreement a wedding planner to be contracted by the bride to ensure any specific details unique to you for the actual wedding/reception details can be carried out. I am also happy to hear that Kristi Purvis our Weddings and Special Events Manager; who’s responsibility is coordinating our venue and the banquet staff was able to step in for your wedding planner since they were not on property prior to your ceremony. I was also very happy to heart Kristi was able to coordinate a very special amenity by request of the groom at the last minute along with many other fine details of your event.
Our weddings are very important to us and we take great pride in the weddings we do. Due to the Hilton Sandestin is the only full service beachfront hotel in northwest Florida there are times the hotel can get very busy at times with other functions going on, and if any of those impacted your event we do apologize. If there is anything I can help you with additionally please do not hesitate to contact me.

What a beautiful hotel!!! I have dreamed of getting married on the beach since I was a small child and they provided an excellent setting for that. I was a little confused in the offering of services including a wedding coordinator only to find it was not the person I initially worked with. I actually didn't hear from my coordinator until just a few months before the wedding and it was slightly disconcerting to have to repeat myself to the person who I thought completely appropriate to be my coordinator. I am the fourth of my college friends to get married and none of them had this issue, not to mention I have a family member who is an event planner and she too thought it was bizarre, had I known this was going to cause such confusion, I would have asked her but I wanted her to enjoy my day with me. Perhaps the most frustrating issue was in a time when we needed the coordinator we could not find her and eventually found her having dinner during my reception. It is a beautiful location, but I wouldn't rely on their coordination services. -

I do not recommend the Hilton Sandestin for a wedding venue! I found it very difficult during the planning process to get accurate, helpful information and the Hilton changed things several times during the 6-month planning time period. The sales and accounting departments did not stick to their own timeline - until, of course, when they wanted a payment. Things did not go smoothly with the venue the night of the wedding. I will say that the reception food was great. The best thing that the Hilton does is hire great outside vendors. Overall it was a disappointment and I do not feel that we got what we paid for. -

Do NOT USE them. I went through 3 wedding advisors during just a few months. They charged me incorrectly for just about everything. They put me on the wrong place on the beach to get married. They allowed my guests to drink on my tab before the allotted time and I had to fight to get some of the money refunded. The photographer is unreliable and nothing went right. It is a nightmare. I would give it a zero if not for Seagars with the food but they too messed my wedding cake up. They placed my guest in the wrong, worn out rooms. I am so sorry I picked this place.Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa's reply:
Thank you for your recent comment. We apologize you went through three different coordinators prior to your event, unfortunately there are times when associates do make a different career path which we cannot control. Unfortunately due to a required construction project taking place with one of our boardwalks taking place it was necessary to relocate the egress for the safety of our guests, but do understand the ceremony was still able to take place on our beautiful beach. Thank you for bringing it to our attention the difficulty you had with one of the vendors on our list. We want to make sure the communication, execution and follow through is very thorough and to the Hilton Sandestin’s standard. We will be reviewing our current vendor list very closely and making any essential adjustments, again we want to apologize on behalf of the photographer and we will be following up accordingly. I do understand the Seagar’s restaurant was able to make the necessary adjustment to the bar bill as well as provided the cake complimentary; we want our clients satisfied and we apologize if we fell short after this.
Again we want to thank you for your comments and if anything needs to be addressed further I will be more than happy to review them with you.
