Stunning Wedding

Our day was absolutely perfect! We did not have to worry about anything the day of our wedding! Joie and Jillian were both amazing at helping us select the right package and menu items for our guests. Tiffany helped us select out all out decor and made sure our venue looked stunning! I could not have asked for a better group of ladies! The coordinators Bridgette and Ali were amazing as well! They made our day stress free and helped ensure everything ran smoothly and on time. The food is amazing!!! You have to try the coconut shrimp and the caprese salad! Our guests are still raving about our food. Thank you so an amazing team!

Perfect Day!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect…from Joie helping us to select our package and all services we wanted to the awesome coordinator Ali making sure everything went smoothly and on time, to the setup and beautiful decor, to the amazing food that everyone loved, to the great photographer Rebecca (Daly Photography) and fantastic officiant and DJ all referred by the hotel. I can’t say enough about this crew. I just want to relive the day over and over. I truly appreciate each and everyone of these people that helped make our day one we will always remember!

Beautiful venue with amazing staff!

I highly recommend booking your wedding/event at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fort Walton Beach. The staff did an outstanding job for our wedding in April 2023. Joie, Jess & Jill were so helpful, especially with answering my questions/emails promptly. They were very sweet and nice to work with and helped make the wedding planning process very smooth, especially from being out of state. Tiffani did an outstanding job with decorating the ballroom and the food was delicious. Our guests told us it was a fun wedding in a beautiful space with great food! We couldn’t have done it any better without the amazing Hilton staff!
