I am SOOO happy with everything about my wedding at the W. First off, the guests were sooo excited to be at the hotel for the weekend. The pool, the bars, the restaurants, all made it well worth a weekend stay there for them. The Great room was the perfect room for my wedding - not to mention how beautiful it is. The chef there is the best in the business. All my guests said everything was DELISH!

I worked with Arlene as my wedding contact there, and I cannot say enough how amazing she was. She was available to me at any point in time from day 1 until the day of. She made sure I was happy and that everything I requested was done. My Mom and I loved her personality! She always welcomed us with a big hug and a smile on her face. She is so talented in her job that it made wedding planning so easy! I am sad the day is over because I enjoyed being in touch with her every step of the way!

The staff at the W was also spectacular. Dahana at the front desk was my welcome agent, and she was such a sweetheart. She went out of her way to make sure my (now) husband and I were taken care of to the fullest. Anything I asked of from the hotel or needed, was done for me. They really strive in making sure their guests are taken care of. Def have your wedding at the W FTL!!!!!!

Excellent expectations!

My husband and I got married a month ago at this beautiful beach front venue to host our destination wedding. Everything was perfect! We booked a year ago for our wedding and we were immediately impressed by the professionalism and accessibility of their Senior Catering Sales Executive Arlene who knew every detail of the venue and how to accommodate a package to fit the planning of an intimate event. She went the extra mile to understand our vision and worked diligently to get things done. Arlene played an important role in the success of our selection of the W to host the perfect destination wedding. Our Event Manager Balice did a fantastic job making sure every detail happened according to plan. She was always very helpful and provided guidance on any questions that we had. Balice went above and beyond, and on the day off executed the event flawlessly. Thank you for accommodating room block for all our out-of-town guests. They were blown away by the entire experience. The W preferred vendor list is great, everyone we selected was professional, accommodating, easy to work with, and they did a wonderful job (EPIC Flowers Design, Sweet Guilt, Marz Makeup & Hair, and Elements & Accents Event Rentals (Le Grande Affairs Inc.). The catering was incredible, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. Thank you so much to Xaiver (aka Javi), Banquet Captain and his entire team for providing an exceptional service. We want to thank the entire W Fort Lauderdale team for making our wedding weekend the most memorable by providing an outstanding service with our Welcome Reception, Wedding Ceremony and Reception. A special thanks to Arlene, Balice, Xaiver and everyone that contributed for making our entire weekend amazingly special! We couldn’t pick a better venue that best aligned with our vision to celebrate a beautiful love story with family and friends. THANK YOU!

Trendy upscale venue

The coordinator Arlene was such a pleasure to work with! The hotel is great and the venue spaces are beautiful! I didn't end up booking here because the reception was too small for my size wedding, but I would've strongly considered it if it was. It's a great hotel for a destination wedding or staycation!
