Amazing experience from start to finish

I could write a novel about how seamless and perfect the Sheraton Gunter was for our wedding. First and foremost, EVERYONE: David (wedding coordinator), front desk receptionists, valet, were all exceptional! The transition from Tina (former wedding coordinator) to David Puente was nothing but easy. The Sheraton went above and beyond for our family during our planning process. They were all so helpful and amazing. Now the day of our wedding was magical. The Crystal ballroom was my exact vision for our wedding. The servers were all so kind and attentive. Everything was just what I hoped it would be. Now lastly, why I would recommend the Sheraton Gunter to any upcoming bride out there is my husband forgot in the honeymoon suite an envelope of A LOT of money (cash and check). The next day we called and they were able to find it. We were thinking it will probably be either an empty envelope or just the checks. To our surprise, EVERYTHING was in there. So that just shows the Sheraton Gunter have an amazing staff from every department. We loved our experience with the Sheraton Gunter and cannot recommend them and David Puente enough!

When I visited the Gunter Hotel I fell in love with the location. The Elegant 2nd floor ballroom was beautiful and the staircase, over look to the lobby, and terrace sunroom added the romance I was looking for in a venue. But perhaps the best part and the major selling point was the service. Going into my wedding planning I was very nervous I would get overwhelmed but after I met Tina I knew my wedding was in great hands. She helped me build my dream wedding even down to changing the color of my uplighting at the last minute.

Tina and her team are the best in the business. They make sure that your special day is everything you dream of. If my husband and I could do our wedding again, we would not hesitate for a second to have the opportunity and privilege to work with the Sheraton Gunter and Tina again.

I cannot say enough about the Sheraton Gunter Hotel and their in-house wedding coordinator, Tina. You cannot make a better choice having your wedding at this beautiful hotel. The decor is just breath taking! Being a wedding coordinator is not just about getting the guests fed or making sure rooms are booked as there are a million tiny details to take care of that make a huge difference. We never had to ask for anything as she anticipated our every need. The wedding was for my daughter who had medically gone through so much in her life and Tina took in all in stride with understanding and tact, using her polished skill set. Tina is an angel who goes above and beyond. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication are just amazing. Tina, you were calm and reassuring, patient and encouraging and will never forget all that you did for us.

Tina, who is the coordinator, is amazing. i cannot say enough about this hotel and the staff. Tina went above and beyond for us making sure everything was taken care of. I highly recommend her and this hotel!! I booked the venue for April and she made sure everything would be set up and be absolutely perfect for the big day. She new what I needed for the wedding before I knew what all I needed to do. They more than accommodated my everyday need.

The Sheraton Gunter is breathtaking and tailored exactly to my wedding needs. It is also in such an ideal location for out of town guests and parking. I could not be more satisfied with the exceptional service I received and continue to receive from Tina G. and her team. They've seen us through every step of the way. Most importantly, Tina made my finance and I feel as if we were the only couple celebrating at the Sheraton this year. Such a professional and experienced team - cannot say enough!

We were so pleased with the service we received from the moment we selected the Gunter Hotel as our venue through the day of our wedding. Tina Gonzalez was awesome in catering to our needs, offering suggestions, and really personalizing our experience. The waitstaff that night was attentive and on point, food was delicious and the ballroom was amazing. Our wedding party and our guests had a great evening and what a wonderful experience to celebrate with family. Thank you for your professionalism and meeting our needs.

The Sheraton Gunter was the perfect venue for our wedding. It was everything I wanted and more. The ballroom was the perfect size and I loved having the terrace for the cocktail hour. The food was delicious, and the service was great. The best part was our coordinator Tina Gonzalez. I could not have done it without her. She was always quick to reply and a great source of knowledge of other vendors in the area. She definitely helped to make our weekend so enjoyable and stress free!

When my wife and I first started looking for a venue, we called and left messages to over 10 places. Tina from the Sheraton Gunter was the only one to call us back right away. After meeting with Tina, and looking at the venue, we were sold! The staff was unbelievably amazing, the hotel is beautiful, and words cannot describe how gorgeous the venue was. My wife and I got compliments after compliments on how fabulous everything was. You will never have to stress or worry about your wedding, Tina and the staff at the Sheraton Gunter take care of everything with five star service.
