Ahhh---mmmazing! :D

I'm still in the planning process of my wedding (not until Oct 26, 2019). But so far our experience with Wyndham has been amazing. I never had any problems when I stayed there a few years ago with the service. They are truly flexible and met with me and my FH when it is convenient for us. We both are out of town (different states) so coming back to my hometown to shop for vendors was difficult. Loved the service, honesty, and respect we get from them. They truly make planning a wedding very simple. If you get the opportunity, to have a beach wedding I highly recommend you consider them.

Love Love Love Paul. He and his staff at Wyndham are incredible. This bride was running a bit behind. Yet they made sure to keep everyone calm and relaxed... well the bride anyway. Thank you. Definitely recommend Paul and Wyndham

The Wyndham Garden was a great venue to host my daughters wedding reception. Although we are local, we were having a hard time finding available space for up to 150 people at a reasonable price. Paul did a great job going over all the options and adjusting the packages to meet our needs, as we didn't need the ceremony, only the reception. We met several times to ensure we were all on the same page. Michelle did a great job of day of coordinating, and the staff did a super job. The room was decorated beautifully, and we didn't need to worry about anything. The food was fantastic and plentiful, and many of the guests commented about how delicious it was. Although they don't do the bar by a dollar limit, they had several options for providing beer, wine, rum punch and margaritas that was within our budget. The dance floor had plenty of room for dancing, and many of the guests commented on how much fun they had. We would definitely recommend it.

I cannot express my gratitude for Paul Taylor. Being from Nebraska and planning a destination wedding from afar, he did everything possible to ensure this was definitely a stress free wedding. Even with the remnants of Hurricane Harvey there, he was willing to do everything possible so that I could have my beach wedding. I personally think he made a call to mother nature, because the rain ended about 30 minutes prior to the ceremony!! The food at the reception was awesome! All my guests were ranting and raving about the food saying they don't think they have ever had wedding reception food as good as this. He was also the DJ for my reception and knew how to get the crowd dancing. I didn't want the night to end! His crew was also so professional and pleasant. Also, I want to mention Thomas Toner for being so accommodating with booking the rooms for my family and friends. I am so glad I chose Wyndham Gardens for my destination wedding.

Just wanted to give Paul, Jessica, Melissa and all of the staff a big overdue thank you. You guys were amazing! The wedding room was transferred into something I could have never imagined it to be. The lightening, linens, food stations....every detail was above our expectations. The food was delicious!! People are still talking about it. I seriously have one friend that talks about the chicken cordon blu every time I see her. Every. Time. Lol the bartenders had great personalities and my guests loved their upbeat interactions. The ceremony on the beach was exactly as I hoped. It was coordinated so well, everything went so smoothly I didn't even have the chance to get nervous. Paul and Melissa gave me the ease of mind so I could enjoy every moment of the best day of my life. I can't thank them enough for that. Pail did such a great job keeping the party going as a dj! Everyone loved him. You kept smiles on faces and feet on the dance floor. I'm pretty sure people are still hurting from some of the moves I saw them doing. Overall Paul is who I initially set up my wedding with. His personality made this whole wedding stress free. He had everything under control the entire time and I could sit back and enjoy. He answered all of my crazy emails promptly and consistently. He made this day what it was for my groom and I The best day of our lives that we will always remember and have them thank for it!!! I also was in contact with Pedro and Thomas for setting up my room blocks. They were always professional and prompt with responses. The hotel staff was great to all of my out of town guests. I wish I got everyone's name. Ladies, if you need a big up for the day, stay here. They are so nice and full of complements! Sherry worked the desk and made me feel so welcomed. Deb from the in hotel restaurant always meet us with a smile on her face. Even at 4:30am when I ran into her when I was getting coffee. She was just the sweetest. Seriously thank you thank you thank you! -Jenn

Paul and Jessica were AMAZING. Everyone was saying how delicious the food was and how beautiful everything was. Also, their vendors John the photographer, Belinda the wedding cake designer, and Paul who plans the wedding and is the DJ were outstanding! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding in my dreams!

The Fort Walton Beach Wyndham Garden Hotel was absolutely amazing planning my wedding! Paul WAY outdid himself! He worked with me every step of the way to plan the most beautiful wedding! Everything was included with our package. We had awesome recommendations for other things that were not, like flowers, videographer, and photobooth. We were originally going to be married on the beach, but unfortunately the weather did not cooporate! Knowing how stressed I was, Paul made the experience pain free. We had the wedding inside and it was beautiful! If the weather had been awesome we would have been married on the beach! But my wedding was so awesome, I can't even imaging having it any other way! We had so many compliments on every single part of the wedding! From the food, DJ, to the decor! Paul really made the experience by getting to know us along with the family and made this event in our life's so memorable! I cannot thank him enough for planning such a great wedding for me and Rick!

If I could do it all over again I would not change a single thing. Jessica and her staff made it so easy to feel excited about the wedding because I did not stress out over anything. She organizes everything from the caterer, to the cake, photography, decorations, and the DJ. She called on a regular basis to get updates and help me with anything. I was living in Illinois while we were planning, but she made it simple, and I trusted her with it all. By the end of it I felt like I had made a new friend.
If you're looking for a place that's beautiful, and people who make you feel like you're day is the most special, CONTACT THEM. We are crazy, fun people and they made our whole day crazy fun and unforgettable.

I had my wedding at Wyndham Gardens in October 2013 and it was absolutely perfect! Jessica Young and her staff were professional and friendly, They really did go above and beyond for everything.
Prior to the wedding, Jessica was extremely helpful and made it stress free for me. She contacted me before the wedding to get all the details about what I wanted. She was also easy to get in contact with if I had any questions.
Jessica arranged for us to have rehearsal the day before, so things on wedding day went smoothly.
The set up for the ceremony outside was beautiful, It really was picture perfect. We had the four post bamboo arch with fabric draped over and white flowers at the top corners.
The reception was amazing! The decorations were beautiful. We had the tropical dinner buffet for the reception and it was delicious. The wedding cake was very pretty and tasted wonderful. The DJ did a great job keeping everyone entertained. The photographer was also amazing. He was very friendly and took a ton of pictures. I am VERY happy with my wedding pictures.
The rooms at Wyndham were nice and clean. We were very happy with our room and so were our guests that stayed at Wyndham also. We really enjoyed the pools outside.
I was very happy with my experience at Wyndham and with Jessica and her staff. I would highly recommend Wyndham.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
