We just had our wedding at Wylder on April 11th. From the very beginning, Olivia set the tone and became our MVP! She was incredibly patient with our millions of e-mails and genui...
nely invested in making our day perfect, while helping us stay within budget. She had some awesome ideas, was wonderful to work with and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life.
That level of service continued throughout the entire weekend. From Robin & Mack at the front desk, the gentleman with the long hair (I apologize, I do not know his name) who went above and beyond to assist with our arch, the waitstaff, to Chris and Kat...each person on staff was more helpful than the next. Everything flowed seamlessly throughout the weekend and allowed us to truly enjoy every moment. Our wedding planner, who has coordinated hundreds of weddings around the world, was so impressed with the staff at Wylder, even said she would want her own daughter to get married there. That kind of praise speaks volumes and is a true testament to the quality of staff.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, the atmosphere, and overall vibe. The venue was immaculate and beautifully maintained. If we could give a million stars, we would. The staff at Wylder is truly special and played a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable.

The folks at Wylder Windham are the most helpful, amazing, organized, wonderful (the list goes on and on) team we have ever worked with. From the moment that we toured the venue, t...
o our delicious wedding tasting, to the food and ambiance at the reception, to the accommodation of all the little requests made over the course of the weekend, to the hospitality they showed all of our closest friends and family, to the ease of check in and check out, they made our wedding perfect beyond words!
Every space at the resort is postcard worthy beautiful. They made it so easy to have our weekend of celebration all over the property. They let us keep the party going! The food at Wylder is mouth wateringly delicious. Our guests raved about everything, including the succulent lamb chops at cocktail hour to their famous cauliflower at the reception to our brown butter and espresso wedding cake.
We had the most amazing weekend because everyone involved in the preparations for our wedding went above and beyond at every turn. We are still getting messages from our guests about how magical the weekend was and how it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to (and we think it’s THE best!). We heard all weekend about how amazing the hotel team was and how helpful and kind the team had been.
The team is so easy to work with and helped to bring our vision to life. We are deeply appreciative of everything they have done for us. They addressed all of our questions and all of our requests with poise and professionalism. We could not have asked for a better team to help us plan and celebrate our big day. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

My experience was kind of messy to start - several changes in wedding staff made for inconsistencies. Previous arrangements I had made/pricing I was told had come undone and had to...
be put back into place several times. The only saving grace was Kat. If you book with wylder, pray you get to work with her. She is filling in just temporarily from my understanding but she will get things handled and done. She was great. However, minor issues and inconveniences with our wedding including an unexpected guest staying on our "booked out" wedding floor in the main house, being charged almost a thousand dollars incorrectly (on two separate occasions)- one of which I'm still awaiting the refund for. We also felt there was not nearly enough food at cocktail hour which kind of sucked. The food was great, staff overall great, but they need to figure out some kinks with the hotel blocking, prices, etc because it overall feels pricey for what they deliver. But Kat you are magical we love you!

We had the privilege of hosting our Welcome Party and Sunday Brunch during our wedding weekend at Wylder. They were responsive, easy to work with, and transparent. We worked with A...
ndrea and Faith on room blocks and booking our two events. They were responsive and helpful with decisions.
Our friends and family loved the welcome party in their ballroom where we had a bar setup and passed apps. It was beautiful and didn't require more than a few flowers to really make the space feel special. Our Sunday Brunch was in the same room. The food was AMAZING, especially for a buffet. Our friends and family were raving about the food and loved the eggs, specifically. We had a bottomless mimosa and bloody mary bar which was also fantastic.
Thank you for a wonderful event! Definitely recommend celebrating any special event with them!

My husband and I held our wedding at Wylder Windham over a weekend in June of 2024. It was incredible - we had the most amazing wedding we could have hoped for. The staff at Wylder...
is wonderful. At every step along the way, we really felt cared for by their team of kind, professional, and talented folks who truly wanted us and our guests to have a spectacular experience. From Andrea and Faith who helped us through the planning process, to Chris and his team in food and beverage, to everyone on staff, we felt that we were in such good hands and could just relax and enjoy our big day.
The venue is gorgeous - all of our guests stayed onsite and enjoyed the pool, Babblers restaurant, pickleball courts, sauna and the beautiful surroundings. The food at both our welcome BBQ and reception was fantastic. Our friends and family are still raving about the whole experience many weeks later.
We will forever be grateful to the whole team at Wylder for working so hard to help us have the most amazing wedding and we can’t wait to return for years to come!

t the Wylder was so unbelievably helpful throughout the entire planning process and throughout our wedding weekend to ensure everything was perfect. We felt so well taken care of and literally ALL of our guests could not stop raving about the venue and the food! People were saying it was the best food they have ever had at any wedding. In addition, the location is very convenient with several other hotels nearby, so you can offer your guests a range of accommodations pending their budgets. We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding and cannot wait to go back, which we plan to do every year on our anniversary :)

WOW is an understatement. We had stopped by the Wyler to grab a bite to eat and immediately fell in love with the charm of this warm & inviting resort tucked away in the Catskills....
Once we discovered that they offer weddings, we knew it was the perfect spot. The staff was incredibly accommodating and was there to answer our million questions (not to mention our unannounced visits just to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the area). They went above & beyond to make sure our day was special. The venue is just absolutely gorgeous with so much to offer! We opted to host our full weekend there including rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and all the day of activities followed by a farewell brunch. Each event was hosted in a different spot which made it feel so unique. They also have several backup plans for the rain. The food was so delicious and everyone was raving about it. We can’t thank the Wylder enough – every little detail was incredibly special. Our guests keep telling us it’s the best wedding they’ve been to. Can’t wait to have our anniversaries here!

We had the incredible opportunity to be the first wedding hosted at Wylder Windham and I cannot say enough good things about the venue and staff. Andrea and the rest of the Wylder ...
staff were incredible and helped us pull off our wedding in only 4 months with the utmost professionalism and kindness. For being the first wedding hosted here we expected a couple hiccups as they were getting up and running, but the entire weekend was so smooth and perfect. The communication, food, accommodations, and experiences were all amazing and all of our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We can't thank this team enough for helping us create the most perfect wedding weekend. Would 1000% recommend Wylder Windham to any couple looking to get married - expect to have the ultimate VIP experience if you choose this venue!
