    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!

    Hilton Garden Inn Fort Walton Beach's reply:

    Thank you for sharing your positive experience and great photos! Our staff truly loved hosting you and your family and friends on your special day. We hope to see you here again soon! Congratulations newlyweds!!!

    The Destination Wedding of Your Dreams

    Finding this from the knot was amazing! Being from Kentucky, I was nervous planning a destination wedding where I could not currently be especially with a large party originally estimated (120 people). But, Joie and the Hilton Garden Inn were absolutely exceptional! The DJ, Catering, Bartending, and Wedding Coordination are done in house, which made this an affordable and inclusive experience that I did not have to worry about much, but I was still able to make all the choices! All of our family raved about how kind the staff was and how amazing the food was after our wedding. Everyone has been so kind and they have had wonderful communication skills that can be lacking if you were to choose other vendors that are not these people! If you are in any doubt of who to choose for your beach wedding, I am telling you choose Hilton Garden Inn Fort Walton!! I could not have been happier with my wedding day and it is all thanks to them.

    Hilton Garden Inn Fort Walton Beach's reply:

    We are absolutely delighted that you are happy with our wedding services! It was our pleasure to host your special day! Thank you for trusting us with such an important occasion. Congratulations!

    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!

    The best day of my life!

    The entire process, from start to finish, was stress-free. Working with Jessica was so much fun, and our coordinator Bridgitt was fantastic. I would highly recommend this venue for everything. My guests are still raving about the food and our wedding.

    Perfect in every way

    We had a few different criteria that we were looking to meet when we began our search for the perfect wedding venue. We wanted to be right on the beach, we wanted our guests to be able to park their vehicles on Thursday and not drive until they left, and we wanted great food and hospitality. The Hilton Garden Inn delivered all of these and so much more.

    From the moment we said “yes” to our venue, we never once felt like we had made the wrong decision. Our onsite contact, Jessica, was always quick to respond to our questions and helped us plan our perfect weekend wedding event. Through Jessica, we worked with several of their local vendors for all of the extra services we required. For us, this was a destination wedding, so being able to coordinate several different vendors and services through the hotel was very convenient and easy.

    The hotel provided all the necessary food and beverage requirements we wanted, and everything was to a high standard. The staff were always accommodating, pleasant, and welcoming. There were numerous little touches that did not go unnoticed by us. We both have backgrounds in bars, restaurants, and hospitality, and we probably have higher expectations than many do. We have no complaints.

    We highly recommend this venue.

    They were very responsive within a few hours of calling or emailing. Always answered all of my questions and made the whole experience great!

    Very nice and always there to answer any questions we had. Also had a summarized and detailed statement for the cost of everything and helped to tweak it to our budget for catering.

    Absolutely the Best!

    I’m so happy I went with Hilton Garden Inn for my wedding! They took care of pretty much everything for me. Jessica was an absolute sweetheart and answered all my questions and made my wedding day so easy going. My wedding day was beautiful and the weather was perfect. It truly was a dream come true.

    Beyond Expectations

    Jessica and her staff at HGIFtWalton made the planning/tasting/decorating, etc for our wedding so easy. And let me tell you...planning a wedding from a different state has a stress level all its own. Everyone was so open with communication and easily accessible (phone, email, and/or text). If you're looking for a beach destination wedding/reception location, Hilton Garden Inn Fort Walton is the place!!!

    Wedding June 2022

    We had our wedding (reception & ceremony) at the Hilton Garden Inn at Fort Walton Beach and it was INCREDIBLE. I can’t say enough good things about this venue. My friends and family are still going on an on about the amazing staff and food. This was a destination wedding for my husband and I and we never got to make it to the venue to try food or even see the place but it blew all my expectations out of the water. The sales coordinator Jessica was great! She answered all my questions and made me feel very secure when it came to my big day. We were also BLESSED with the package we choose that included a wedding coordinator and let me tell you… Ali and her sister WERE HEAVEN SENT to our special day! They made everything run smooth, made everything so beautiful, and really brought my dreams to real life. I am so thankful we had them for our day! The servers and bartender(sweet lady and I’m so sorry I forgot her name but she deserves a raise and the set up gentlemen) they were one of the hits of the nights, made my family have a blast and created so many memories for us by making sure we were taken care of all night and being so incredibly nice!! My wedding here was a dream and was worth EVERY PENNY. I’d pay double to do the day over just one more time. Also, my family and some of the guests stayed at the hotel for a few days prior to the wedding and we had a blast! Rooms were clean, comfy, and great views of the ocean! The tiki bar made the best drinks and kept us dancing all day! I recommended this place to anyone and everyone for their special day or family vacation. THANK YOU AGAIN to all the staff at this establishment we are forever grateful and it’s a day we will never forget!!!

    All of the photos below were done by- mphphotography (Michelle Howard) she was also INCREDIBLE you should book her right after you book this venue!

    Mother of the Bride

    I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. From the first meeting to final check out, everything went smooth and professional. The wedding was just beautiful. Jessica worked tirelessly to make sure what the bride envisioned came to life. Everyone involved worked as a team to make it happen.

    Loved having my wedding here! Jessica was super friendly & made the planning process go by so easily. The rest of the staff hired by the hotel made sure the whole day was absolutely perfect! No complaints.

    Perfect for our big day!!

    The amenities, the location, the weather, this venue was absolutely perfect for our big day! The food was RAVED about, all of our guests enjoyed the atmosphere, the pool, the jacuzzi, the beach, and the poolside tiki bar! Jessica and her event coordinator team was beyond amazing! She stayed in constant communication with us and made sure our accommodations were comfortable. Everything was reasonably priced being on the beach and in such a prime location. The weather proved to be absolutely perfect in September for us, still warm enough to enjoy being in either the ocean or the pool, and outdoors. Our family and friends still rave about how beautiful and seamless everything was. Hilton has got us as members now and when we travel they are one of our favorite hotel chains from now on!

    Great beach wedding

    We chose this HGI due to travel restrictions for our original venue in Costa Rica. We'd also considered other properties in FWB but are glad we settled on HGI. Their team helped us to make everything possible during this pandemic, including having the space for us to host a welcome dinner. We were glad to be able to add everything we needed to our wedding package. From the first inquiry to after the reception, the HGI team provided fast, thoughtful, top-notch service. The property itself is awesome and we will certainly stay many times for vacations.

    Wedding Venue

    Jessica and Jillian are miracle workers! All throughout the COVID situation, they stayed in constant contact with us and kept us updated on any changes that would need to be made to keep us and our guests safe. On the day of the wedding, I needed to make a few last minute changes and Jessica handled it all flawlessly. ALL of the guests said that the food was delicious. SO thankful that we picked this venue.

    Exactly what I pictured

    Great location, beautiful set up. The food was amazing. They took care of almost everything for me. Made my wedding planning stress free. I did add a couple of decorations myself but they took care of everything else.

    Thank you Tasha for the kind words. We appreciate your feedback!
    So glad we were able to take the stress away on your wedding day. I enjoyed being part of it! Best of wishes for you and your beautiful family!
