Wildwood Inn by Walters Wedding Estates

uper tight fit. We made it all work, but just be sure to comprehend how short 5 hours actually is for set up, wedding, photos, reception, and tear down. That said, that was on us and not the venue. They were great!

s, we can’t wait to go back and stay again. The yard at the Inn is my favorite part of the whole place, it’s so relaxing serene. We are so happy about our choice!

. We rented out the Inn for the night of the wedding, which was so convenient. Several of us stayed at the Inn the night before, as well, and they accommodated my family with their children gracefully. The only things that Wildwood Inn could improve are as follows. Despite renting out the entire Inn the night of the wedding, and utilizing several rooms the night before; we were not able to begin setting up decorations for the wedding until 1 hour before ceremony time. This is very limited time, especially if you are doing your own decor to keep costs down. I am lucky several friends and family were willing to show up early to get this done, but it was a race and was extremely tight. There is no legitimate reason for this, and more time should absolutely be provided, regardless of tours or meetings. Also, we were not able to host our rehearsal the night before at the same time as our ceremony due to another wedding already having scheduled their rehearsal at that time. I think that time slot the day before a wedding should be offered to that wedding party before scheduling someone else (whose wedding was the Sunday after mine). I would have preferred uniformed timing. When renting out the venue with all rooms, if you charge your guests for their room (to again reduce personal costs); you are responsible for gathering those charges. If they stay another night, they pay the Inn. This caused much confusion, and added day of stress on the bride that was unnecessary. They could have easily charged my account for the price of the rooms as a deposit, and gathered money from the guests to replace that as they checked-in to prevent this extra confusion. All that would require is an additional section on the room assignment document asking about who should be charged what amount for that evening. I split the rooms evenly and charged everyone the same amount. Our day-of coordinator (Faith) was very sweet and accommodating, and having a day-of coordinator with the venue was so helpful. Faith did an amazing job, but could have been a little more directive with family and guests regarding timeline and where everyone needed to be. Milestone catering, who partners with Wildwood Inn was delicious. The food was amazingly prepared and served. Faith even set up a table and chairs in our suite so my husband and I could eat uninterrupted after our ceremony. This was so special for us. I would get married here all over again and would not change a thing about our wedding, but wanted to be detailed, as this all would have been helpful to know going in. It is an absolutely beautiful venue.

that you would pass up if you didn't know. We wanted something perfect for our brunch wedding as well as affordable for our budget. The quaintness of this Inn was perfect for us. The staff was very attentive to me and I ask a million questions so that means a lot. They had lots to choose from already when it came to linens, decorations and table settings so that helped out tremendously. The Inn had so much character so we kept it simple and it turned out beautiful. All of my guest were in love with this charming place.

nd did a thousand other things to make the day run smoothly. We were able to relax and enjoy our reception in the Wildwood Inn's beautiful dining hall and courtyard. We definitely recommend this venue without hesitation!

y-of coordinator, and the entire staff were extremely accommodating, which made my entire planning process feel like a breeze. Thank you Wildwood Inn for the perfect wedding venue!

rovided helpful suggestions and examples. The venue is quaint and intimate providing a beautiful, elegant space for both the ceremony and reception with an option to rent out the whole bed and breakfast! We chose to rent the whole venue and had immediate family and friends stay the night with us. They truly made our day so special and carefree, 100% would recommend! ALSO THE VENUE IS GORGEOUS AND THE IN HOUSE CATERING IS AMAZING!

ue because it has it all (outside ceremony, indoor receptions, an amazing patio, and beautiful hotel rooms on site.)

coordinator had some difficulty with staff attitudes on the day of the wedding. Everything else was wonderful! I would recommend to a friend!

her. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating for any special requests we had. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and it is very affordable for everything you receive. We also used Milestone Catering and were very happy with that decision as well. All the guests raved about how beautiful the entire venue was and had a blast! This was the first venue we visited and immediately knew this was where we had to get married. The outdoor ceremony area is just breathtaking with tons of greenery, string lights, and a beautiful pergola. Seriously could not be happier with this decision!

definitely a venue for smaller sized weddings. The max capacity is technically 120 but you will be packed in if you actually go up to that guest count. We had a little less than 100 which I felt was the max amount of guests I would try to fit into that venue. Just to note, likely if you have a guest list over probably about 70, your guests will be split between the interior dining room and the covered patio. The day was beautiful for our wedding so I didn't mind, but just something to note if you are having your wedding during the summer. But you get a venue coordinator the day of the wedding and I didn't realize how much that would be needed but it was. Tiffany was our venue coordinator and she was great! I wish we could have had more time to set up everything beforehand (we had an hour and a half, but guests start arriving 30 minutes if not earlier before the ceremony, so it was even less time). The only real snaggle we ran into is that I wanted to add more time onto my rental and I was told that I could not do that when I booked because if someone booked the time after my wedding (we were a Sunday lunch wedding), the extra hour would not be available. By the time I was able to book the extra hour, the venue's prices had gone up and I was told that I would have to pay the price increase since I had not yet contracted for the additional time. Needless to say, I was kind of upset but I did speak with Walters Wedding Estates (who owns Wildwood) and they were able to accommodate me at the original price so it all worked out. Anyway, besides that, everything was great, everything ran smoothly, our guests had an AMAZING time, and we had the perfect day. We received so many compliments on the venue. We had a Sunday brunch wedding and I was worried that people wouldn't dance. Well, the DJ Wildwood recommended was INCREDIBLE and he kept a dance party going the entire afternoon! Luckily there was a pool on property where people could rest their tired feet :) Definitely recommend!

wants a romantic and intimate wedding!

of town guests. We had an amazing time.

as the place I'd want to get married! Everything went smoothly thanks to the super helpful and friendly staff. Could not recommend more highly!

dding outweighed those few issues. The staff was always very welcoming and helpful. We got a ton of compliments on the look, feel and food of the venue. I cannot express how much we were impressed with their catering service. We had about 50 guests and did not have any issues with the open bar. All of our guests were pleasantly satisfied with the bar service as well. We plan on coming back at least once a year for leisure.

gional manager stated that they NEVER change dates - but later changed it said that they do. The operations director said something different. The stories kept changing because they wanted to keep our deposit. This place does NOT CARE about your event - just money. They hold you to the contract, but go outside of them to accommodate whom they wish. And I honestly believe it is based on race. If you are not a certain race; they will not accommodate you. This place is ridiculous! They took our money and made a profit by doing absolutely NOTHING - even though they had no other future bookings for the month we needed in 2018. Lauren the regional director is southern bell trash. Unprofessional, cold, and ruthless. BEWARE. Go to another venue that actually cares about their clients. This place is overrated - but I guess that all these reviews are by the "proper" race. I am so disappointed by them. Racism is still alive and well in Texas. Such a sad commentary on where things are...

lessed us with perfect weather and our wedding went off without a hitch. Tiffany, our venue coordinator, was exceptional. She ran our ceremony rehearsal the day before the wedding, and made sure the actual ceremony went well. She also solved a minor crisis when the day-of coordinator I hired separately didn't know how to bustle my dress. The only reason this review is not 5 star is that I felt the venue had a really long list of rules that made some aspects very difficult on the brides. For example, the only nighttime grand exit a bride and groom can make (that will be visible in photos) is with glow sticks. You cannot use sparklers, LED balloons, lanterns or anything of that nature. Additionally, you can only remove 10 children from your BAR COUNT. I thought that was crazy. If a guest is under 21, the bride and groom should not be forced to include them in the bar count. Lastly, the venue does not allow vendors to set up the day of the wedding until 90 minutes before the ceremony begins. Once you get into planning and talk to vendors like the DJ or florist, you'll learn that's an extremely short amount of time. Similarly, we bought the hotel out for the night and were not authorized access to the rooms prior to 3 p.m. I needed time to get ready with my bridal party and asked if we could have any extra time; they allowed us in the room at 1 p.m. Two members of my bridal party had to get their makeup done at another location that morning because there simply was not enough time for five women to have hair and makeup done between 1 p.m. and 6, when the ceremony began. Aesthetically the Wildwood Inn is gorgeous and you really can't beat the convenience of having ceremony, reception and sleeping arrangements in the same location, but I feel the venue could do better when it comes to accommodating the reasonable needs of the bride and groom, as well as the vendors. Despite these issues, I would still recommend the Wildwood Inn. The price is fantastic and you will have a gorgeous, intimate wedding there. Ask for Tiffany!

ic-looking homes. The backyard was perfect for our garden-style wedding, and it was beautiful during our October ceremony. We wanted a homey small-medium sized wedding, and the Wildwood Inn was the perfect setting for this. We absolutely loved that we had the ability to rent out the entire inn for our wedding and for guests to stay the night. It allowed us to spend more time with our guests and enjoy our time together. Amanda was our coordinator, and she was amazing!! She was always so energetic and willing to work with us to make our day perfect. The entire staff was very responsive and helpful. I had to plan our wedding from out-of-state, and the WWI staff was very accommodating to my many questions, site visits, and coordination efforts. The venue offers preferred vendor recommendations but also allows outside vendors which really allowed flexibility in our planning. The venue also includes a day-of coordinator for vendors, preceremony set up, and help with line-up (not for décor or reception coordination), but this was really helpful for us to have since we opted not to have a wedding planner. Overall our day went perfectly, and we had the best time. Choosing WWI was one of our best decisions, and we would highly recommend this venue!

f vendors we could trust to bring together our wedding day in a short timeframe. The garden at sunset in October was simple and elegant. We held our reception at Wildwood too. The food was so delicious. Our guests loved it. The staff was there every step of the way to make sure our day was JUST what we pictured. Even when we left after the reception for a little while and returned at 2am, they even were able to bring me a piece of my wedding cake from the kitchen since I didn't get any during the reception. We were 2 very happy Brides that day. Wildwood was exactly the perfect place for our wedding.

f the rooms that they stayed in. They especially loved the spacious bed and bathrooms. When my friends are searching for venues I will be sure to recommend this location to them

mmend them to anyone wanting a romantic intimate wedding!

ther country, I was thankful for her fast responses to my emails and willingness to communicate with different people in order to organise tours, etc. I really appreciated their help. The venue is absolutely gorgeous!

dea. If you want your dream wedding, this is the place to have it.

he tub. The balcony. Seriously, magical, make sure when you stay to leave a note in the book on the desk overlooking the window. We will be returning for our anniversary next June!

resque venue. Our wedding pictures came out so beautifully and I say it was mostly because of how stunning the venue is!

en — the best venue coordinator in the land)! My wife and I were married there June 11th, and we decided to rent out all the rooms. The rooms were incredible (particularly the groom's suite), and each room was unique. We had so much fun having the run of the place for the weekend (if you can afford it, I HIGHLY recommend you do this)! We NEVER had a problem with any of the staff — they were all very helpful and nice. We had a 1.5 year engagement, which gave us lots of time to plan. Wildwood Inn, and Kristen in particular, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They kept close contact with us, were VERY responsive, and always did their best to accommodate our needs (even when we were a little needy). I would be remiss if I didn't mention Amanda — she helped coordinate everything up to about a month before the wedding, and she was always incredibly responsive and helpful. I don't think we could have done this without Kristen and Amanda, honestly. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we had to make a few changes, but the staff (and Kristen in especially) helped us (kindly, I might add) get exactly what we were looking for. I know we were needy — I know we were probably a pain in the ass. But they were understanding of our stress, kind in their words, and helpful in their actions. They made what could have been a really crappy situation into a smooth ride. There was a little mix up with the chairs (some new, nicer chairs had come in, but there was an issue finding storage at this cozy little venue), but Kristen was able to conjure up some storage and get us the chairs my wife had her heart set on (and we can't give her enough credit for that — Kristen is like a magician of wedding coordination)! We also needed to change a few other things that we had decided almost a year previous, but they accommodated those changes as well. Finally, and this was the big one, we had a little flower girl meltdown right before the ceremony. Everyone was FREAKING out — she was sobbing uncontrollably, and no one could console her. It really was looking bad, like the ceremony was going to be delayed or ruined. Then in steps Kristen. I swear, this woman is the child whisperer. Kristen swept up the flower girl, who INSTANTLY stopped crying (after easily an hour of her whole family trying to calm her down). It was like magic. The flower girl was shy through the whole ceremony (and had to stay close to mom, the matron of honor), BUT she didn't cry for the rest of the ceremony (and truly, she was screaming bloody murder before Kristen stepped in). Kristen really saved the day — she should get a raise just for that bit alone! But even after all that drama, she stuck with us throughout the entire wedding (3 hours) and made sure everything went smoothly. The wedding was gorgeous (some of our guests told us it was the most fun they'd EVER had at a wedding), the venue was incredible, the rooms were incredible, the staff was incredible... I just can't say enough good things about this place. Book your wedding here — do it now before someone else does. It was the fairytale wedding my wife dreamed of!

diately. We especially loved the outdoor ceremony area, but also that there were 2 other ceremony areas in case it rained. Good thing, because it sure did rain! We were still able to have an outdoor ceremony under their beautiful covered patio. We also really enjoyed that so many things are covered when you rent the venue, normally chairs, tables, dinnerware, etc have to be rented but all of these things were included and so less things we had to worry about gathering ourselves. The entire staff was very helpful to me during the entire planning of the wedding. I was always greeted with a happy voice during the MANY times I called with questions. Tamra was also our day of coordinator and was just a joy to work with. I would highly recommend (and already have) Wildwood Inn to anyone I know getting married.

with every aspect that this venue had to offer. I would and have already recommended this venue to couple of my friends who are planning their wedding in the upcoming year. Thank you for helping me make an amazing memory on my wedding day! Mr. & Mrs. DeVlugt

beautiful and everyone had a great time. Kristin did a great job helping us with the dinner. She is a true professional. We would highly recommend the Wildwood. We could not have chosen a better venue.

e are two hotels right across the parking lot, perfect for out of town guests or anyone who doesn't feel like driving home afterwards.

bad weather. The garden in the back of the hotel is full of trees with a stone walkway down to the pergola. After the wedding ceremony, we had our reception inside the gorgeous French-motif banquet room. The home-style buffet was prepared by the hotel chef and was exceptionally delicious. As an added bonus, we reserved a few rooms at the hotel for our family; which they all loved. We want to extend a sincere thanks to our venue coordinator, Bailey, and the Wildwood Inn staff. They made sure that our wedding was a memorable event. Our guests have told us that the venue and ceremony was one of the best ones that they had ever seen! Lisa and I look forward to visiting the venue again soon to celebrate our anniversary. Steve & Lisa M.

She was extremely helpful and very nice. The service there was amazing as well and the outdoor setting was perfect for my wedding. They have a absolutely beautiful library area that was perfect for my getting ready pictures and they made sure my now husband was to go no where near me until i was walking down the isle. I highly doubt i would have had any better of an experience if i had has my wedding anywhere else. I have been to many wedding in the Denton area and this was the best place i could have chosen for my own. So happy with how everything turned out. The food through their catering company was delicious as well. I definitely recommend using their caterers.

you see in the yard was complete mud with clumps of dead leaves floating on top that I had to beg to be skimmed out as guests were arriving. Still finding small unexplainable charges on my credit card.

an't wait to back for our anniversary.

for me! We were able to have the at home, back yard wedding that we always wanted with out braking the bank or lowering our standards. The Wildwood Inn team was amazing from the first meeting all through the big day. I am so grateful for them and will never forget their important role in our wedding day!

Wildwood (Bailey) was Heaven sent. She made our day run so smoothly and was just amazing throughout the entire process. Would recommend this place to anyone!

ngements. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue!! Thank you wildwood inn.

r backup plan for rain was lovely! I honestly wasn't worried about the weather!

loved being able to stay at the venue as well. I felt like royalty. I would choose them over and over.

The venue is beautiful and the food was great. They worked with me on the menu because my daughter is Gluten Free. I am so happy that we picked Wildwood Inn over the other places where we looked.

f (especially the coordinators Bailey and Myca) were incredible to work with - everyone commented about how beautiful the setting was (we chose to get married outside), and the rooms were gorgeous, and all had a different theme. The food was absolutely delicious, and they work with a local bakery so that you're able to choose your own Bride and Groom's cakes. And it's nice to know that we have somewhere to go every year to celebrate our anniversary :) They really cater to, and care about, you and all your needs. And the price for everything that's included is unbeatable. It's an extremely romantic, classic venue and we'd recommend them many times over.

s our coordinator and I couldn't have asked for a better go-to girl. She is very organized and suggests great ideas for layouts with seating and photobooths. We chose one of the buffet menu options and absolutely LOVED the Caprese Skewers... but all the food was excellent and our guests really enjoyed the food as well. I love that they bundle their services with Candy Haven Bakery in Denton as well, and when our guest list went over our quoted amount, they updated Candy Haven themselves... it was greatly appreciated the week before the wedding. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the Inn is very quiet. We would definitely recommend The Wildwood Inn to anyone looking for a beautiful yet affordable venue for their wedding.

when we signed a year and half ago). It's seriously cute with the perfect outdoor wedding.

he settings for the ceremony and reception were bueatiful and the food was delicious. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting us on a gorgeous wedding. I highly recommend this venue.

food tasting at the Wildwood Inn was the best part of the wedding planning. The salsa was the 3rd best part of the wedding day, only topped by seeing my beautiful bride and the wedding night...Thanks for helping us have a the perfect start to our marriage.

g day so much easier, and the room where my husband and I stayed at the inn after the wedding was truly a dream! Kendra and the entire staff made everything seamless and stress free. My guests still talk about how much they enjoyed the food from the reception and how beautiful and unique the entire experience was.

hing we wanted for our wedding! They were also flexible; it was raining the morning of our wedding day, and I wanted to wait and see if we could still pull off the outside ceremony (i.e., see if the rain would go away and the sun would come out). They were willing to wait it out and re-adjust their set-up. In the end, the rain DID go away, the sun DID come out, and we were able to have our outdoor wedding like we wanted....all the while, remaining on our time schedule. In addition, they took care of setting up all the specific requests we had (e.g., candy bar, table settings, favors, etc.), so I didn't need to worry about those details the morning of the wedding. They provided the tables, chairs, food, catering, hostess, and even the glass jars and some decorations we used for our table settings. Wildwood Inn gave us everything we could have asked for on our wedding day!

r you any time you have a question and I had a bunch. My special day was absolutely perfect. They did all the work for me and I did not have to worry about a thing.

d was exceptional and the goodie bag for us newlyweds was very appreciated later that night. Beautiful location that made things feel very elegant while at the same time cozy. We were able to dance outside on the porch with a small group and our saxophonist - probably one of my favorite parts of the night. Overall, the venue was excellent, the coordinator listened to what we wanted and had things well prepared when we got there, and the food was excellent.

bride. They really take all of the worry out of planning and just let you enjoy your day.

ur buck. The wedding coordinators were very helpful and always easy to get ahold of.

Our rooms were luxurious and inviting and we look forward to staying again in the future.

solutely magical.

l place with great staff, food, drinks, etc. Our wedding could not have gone any better!

ist, a hairdresser, decorations and even a minister. My husband and I are vegan and they were very accommodating and provided delicious vegan food. All of the guest's raved about the food and many didn't realize it was vegan. :) They truly went above and beyond. We now look back at our wedding day with fond, stress free memories. It was the perfect wedding venue for us!

xperienced and helpful and I barely had to lift a finger. So many options are provided by the Wildwood Inn and they are very accommodating to many different situations. They provide catering that is wonderful. The chef does really great work. This place is a gem!

s on Sundays. Every room is unique and the breakfast is delicious! Highly recommend any time you are in Denton, Texas!!!
