Alexis Sent on 11/25/2025November 8, 2025 Wedding
100000/10 recommend the Hilton Garden Inn for a wedding venue. I was supposed to get married in Jamaica on 11/8/2025, however, Hurricane Melissa had other plans for me. I met with Jennifer SEVEN days before my wedding was supposed to happen and explained that I needed a place to throw a last minute wedding and she didn’t skip a beat. The entire staff was quick to throw together the most PERFECT wedding. Super budget friendly, beyond accommodating, and the nicest people I have ever met and worked with. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to have my wedding. THANK YOU Jennifer, and the entire staff at the Hilton Garden Inn. You guys are amazing!Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront's reply:
Lexi! It means so much to me that your special day came together in a jiff, and I appreciate all your kind words, but none of it would have happened without YOU. You and your Mom should seriously considering wedding planning as your next line of career! It was so seamless working with you and like you said, everything came together so effortlessly. I had so much fun the day of your wedding, and it couldn't have turned out to be a more beautiful day, and you DESERVE it. I will never forget that day, and am so grateful to be part of your story. I wish you and DJ a lifetime of happiness, and you MUST keep in touch. Thank you again so much for such a wonderful review. I hope to see you soon!

We had such an amazing Wedding. We wouldn’t change anything. Wedding Venue, Cocktail, Reception, food. Hotel Staff, Food, and Jennifer were absolutely amazing. Money well spent. Jennifer was so helpful, pleasant, and worked with our budget.Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront's reply:
I miss you Lonnie!!! Larry and I still talk about how FUN it was to work with and get to know you and Ronnie. Not only was your love story different, bringing you two back together again, but so were the two of you and your wedding. It is still to this day the only wedding that had a live BAND! How cool! I always had so much fun talking with you, so knowing that your day came together and was the wedding you expected and deserved, that just makes me so happy. Thank you SO much for writing such a great review, and I love the pictures. I want MORE! What a beautiful day it turned out to be. The weather was perfect, you looked BEAUTIFUL, and you could tell how over the moon Ronnie was to marry you again. I'm so happy for the two of you, and really hope I get to see you again in the future. Thank you Lonnie!!! -

Ashlee Sent on 12/03/2025Absolutely Wonderful!
Every aspect went perfectly! We reached out and started planning a year in advance. Our contact Jen, was so helpful! She made the process so easy and smooth. She was also quick to reply and answer any and all questions. Once we arrived the week of our wedding, every single staff member was amazing. Checking in was quick and easy, and the woman was so polite. The gentleman helping us load and u load everything was extremely kind and so helpful! The lady that oversaw our reception was so attentive and kind! Our bartender was great, and our group definitely kept him busy. We had the absolute perfect day! I could not recommend this hotel and their staff enough!Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront's reply:
Hi Ashlee!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The process was so easy and smooth because YOU were so easy and laid back to work with, it truly was a pleasure. And getting to meet you for the first time at the wedding expo was the most exciting introduction to a bride ever! It's so good to hear that every team member was a memorable part of your special day and that they all treated you with kindness. We really do have a great team. I hope we all get to see you again soon, and I wish you nothing but all the happiness in the world!!! Thank you again SO much! -

Claudia Sent on 11/24/2025Last minute wedding
My daughter was supposed to get married in Jamaica on 11/8/25. We had planned it for a year, but Hurricane Melissa had other plans for us. Once we determined that was not happenning we had 2 weeks to pull together a whole new wedding. Jennifer reached out to us via weddingwire and the minute we met her we knew this is where the wedding would be. Jennifer and her team went over an above and made my daughters day memorable. The venue was beautiful, the food was great and reasonable and the whole day was perfect. They worked within my budget (while I was waiting to get my money back from the Jamaica one that was already paid in full). I would highly recommend the Hilton Garden Inn and the whole staff for your wedding or any other celebration!Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront's reply:
Claudia (insert heart emoji),
Where do I start? Words cannot describe how THANKFUL and OVERWHELMED I am to have met you and Lexi. I knew right away when meeting you that I would work hard to help create a wedding day that Lexi deserved. During a time of chaos and confusion, you and Lexi worked so hard to bring a wedding together in just a few days and did an amazing job! It was so much fun working with you and getting to know you along the way, so it makes me beyond happy that Lexi's wedding day turned out to be such a success and that you enjoyed everything. You both DESERVED it. It might have been under unfortunate circumstances, but I firmly believe we were meant to cross paths and work together to make such a memorable moment for you and your family. And I still can't get over the weather and sunset that night! I sincerely hope to keep in touch with both you and Lexi, and will never ever forget November 8th!

Best wedding venue in ocmd
The Hilton was great but the staff is absolutely phenomenal!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Beautiful hotel, great decor, and the best location in OCMD. Being two blocks from the boardwalk, the location is great for having things to do, but also much quieter than staying on the actual boardwalk. If you're looking for great food, great staff, beautiful decor, cleanliness, and convenience this is the spot!!
Jennifer Dunkelberger the Catering Sales Manager, went above and beyond our expectations. A girl dreams about her wedding forever and she made my wedding better than what I could've ever imagined! We toured quite a few venues but weren't wowed until we met with Jennifer. She is a warm, caring, heart on her sleeve girl that made all the difference. We obviously loved the venue, but Jennifer was the true selling point for us.
The staff here helped us decorate and plan things out so we did not need to hire a "wedding planner". They also do in house desserts that were delicious. They pretty much made anything we wanted/needed them to make for our wedding and the food was OUTSTANDING! Many people contacted me after the wedding to tell me that it was the best wedding food they ever had. Larry and Chris hit it out of the park with the food!!!
I hope everyone can experience the kind of love and care we did at the Hilton Garden Inn. The staff truly felt like family after our wedding. Couldn't be happier with everything! Thank you again to everyone who made my wedding even more special.
Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront's reply:
ERIN!!! You are the sweetest person ever and I miss you every day! I can't thank you enough for this review and everything you said about the staff. After you left, every single team member kept coming up to me and saying, "I can't believe she kept calling me by name, she is so sweet. She feels like family." And you really are now. Making you and Ryan happy was our number one goal, because we could all tell that you DESERVE it. I wish you and Ryan the best life in the world, and am so fortunate to have met you. Please keep in touch, and thank you again for trusting us with your special day!!!
Sincerely,
Jennifer -

When I decided to do my celebration I never thought I would have this magnificent person, Jennifer, working with me in every aspect. I definitely will come back in the future todo any other occasions cause love everyone who works and make me feel happy.Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront's reply:
Hi Yerah! I am putting together a look book with images from celebrations we helped host, and going through the pictures from your party still amazes me. Your family was INCREDIBLE, and the love you had for one another was completely evident in how much work you and Nathan and everybody else put into making sure it was lovely. I will never forget you Yerah, and I hope you do come back because you were AMAZING to work with. We always miss you here and hope you are doing well! Thank you for all your kind words!
Sincerely,

Beautiful venue & such accommodating staff
I had my wedding reception in the Zippy Lewis room in August 2024- it was absolutely everything I hoped for and more! The room was beautiful on the beach, we had drinks and snacks on the deck & main course inside. All of the staff was WONDERFUL to work with, they accomadated my budget, schedule, food restrictions & everything. They even set up just the way I wanted & helped me decorate. I couldn’t have asked for more helpful coordinators! Not to mention the food- absolutely fantastic! They made a completely custom menu of everything I wanted on my day. I can’t say enough good things about having my reception here.Hilton Garden Inn Ocean City Oceanfront's reply:
Thank you so much Emily! You were an amazing bride to work with, and I can't thank you enough for trusting us with such an important day. From the beginning, I loved how you knew exactly what you wanted and had a vision that you were passionate about. You say we were wonderful to work with, but YOU were the one that made it all happen! I genuinely wish you and Grayson the absolute best and a lifetime of happiness. Please keep in touch, and enjoy married life!!!
Sincerely,
Jennifer -

Brenda Sent on 07/30/2021Gorgeous hotel
Dunes Manor, is one of a kind hotel in Ocean City. It has an OLD WORLD EUROPEAN CHARM. This hotel has the ambience of class and sophistication I was looking for, as half of my family and guests were coming from London, and this hotel fit the bill beautifully. Angelique, the Event Planner, was not to be believed, she was so responsive, helpful, friendly, accommodating, a very professional--crosses her "I's" and dots her "T's", my kind of planner, nothing slips through the cracks. I loved the place, so did all my guests. They kept saying "What a beautiful hotel". I had a beach wedding outside, a one hour cocktail hour on the Dunes manor Verandah, and a sit-down dinner reception inside, with windows looking out to the ocean. The for was delicious, and the service by all the staff was exceptional. If you want to impress your wedding guests, and have the wedding of your dreams like we did, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DUNES MANOR!! -

Dunes Manor provided a gorgeous back drop for our wedding. We had a smaller wedding 40 of our closest family and friends. The Veranza room was perfect and the wing that included the room, gorgeous deck that was made private and the hallway had bathrooms. So even though we were in this huge place it felt very private and cozy. -

The Dunes Manor Hotel was a wonderful place to have our small wedding! Their deck was perfect for our ceremony, with the ocean in the background. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The staff was very accommodating and helped to make every detail just right. -

Hannah Sent on 07/04/2019The Dunes was Perfect!
I wanted to have my ceremony at the beach, but not on the beach. The Dunes has a deck that overlooks the ocean that was perfect for the size of our wedding. They also have a room you can reserve in the event of inclement weather, still facing the ocean. There are 2 ballrooms available for the reception, depending on the size of your wedding. The Bride was able to stay the night before the wedding (complimentary) in a room that was used on the day of the wedding for all the girls to get ready. The Bride and Groom also received a complimentary room the night of the wedding. The Groom was able to check in early to that room and the groomsmen were able to get ready in that room as well. The getting ready rooms, ceremony, reception, and hotel were all in the same building to make it very convenient for everyone.
Joanne was very on the ball as far as planning and details. She was polite, professional, and very thorough. She was very accommodating and willing to work with you on details and prices of things. She was easy to contact by phone or by email.
The event staff was awesome, specifically Joe. Joe was there to help us set up the ballroom the day before and help us decide where things needed to go. He was very open to suggestions and wanted the room to be however we wanted it to look. Joe was also very polite and professional at all times.
The day of the wedding, there were plenty of staff members there to help put the final touches on everything. The back wall of the reception room was open and we were able to see the ocean through the windows throughout the reception. At the end of the night, the staff was there to help pack everything up and get it ready for me to take out the next day.
My overall experience at the Dunes Manor was awesome. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with even prettier views, choose the Dunes!! -

They have a good variety of foods and are willing to work with you on menu. They just don't do beach weddings on their property which is what we are looking for
