The most magical weekend
Most of our guests said this was the "Wedding of the century" for them. The rustic charm of the Wylder, on sleepy Tilghman Island, matched with being able to have your entire wedding guest attendees to be onsite with you an entire weekend creates the intimacy many crave from a wedding, yet seldom get. This is the place to wow your guests. KD and her team delivered. My husband and I set a very strict tone about the guest experience and the food we were expecting from the get go. Our guests raved about how polite and attentive the staff was. They were blown away by the 3-course plating, the speed and efficiency with which it was served, and the quality of the food that came out. Thank you, KD and Team Wylder!

Beautiful Venue
We are so happy that we found Wylder Hotel during our venue search! The grounds are beautiful and the staff are all down to Earth, helpful, fun, and kind. It was so special to have all our guests in one place to maximize the amount of time we could all spend together over the wedding weekend. KD and her assistant Julia were wonderful and responsive to all questions and requests.

Bride
The Wylder Hotel was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was efficient, friendly, and organized, which helped make the experience stress-free. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - the venue was beautifully decorated, they were flexible in accommodating our needs, and their pricing was budget-friendly. The food they provided was phenomenal, and the overall organization of our special day was effortless. A special shoutout to KD, who was amazing in helping us bring our vision to life. We highly recommend The Wylder Hotel to any couple looking for a clean, flexible, and beautiful wedding venue.

Amazing!
I don't have enough good things to say about KD and the Team at Wylder Hotel Tilghman Island! Everything from our first visit to The Wylder, to the morning after our wedding and beyond was amazing! My husbands family has owned a home just outside of Tilghman Island for years, it was my dream to get married in the area and The Wylder was the perfect place! We visited every time we came to St. Michaels and each time I found something more to love about The Wylder! The venue is a perfect space to have all of your favorite people together for your entire wedding weekend and the location is stunning! All of our guests were raving about how gorgeous The Wylder was and how much fun our entire wedding weekend was because of all that The Wylder has to offer! We got married on November 1st, which meant out welcome party fell on Halloween! The kids from our wedding were able to trick or treat with our family and friends at the bungalows and the groom and his friends were able to spend the morning enjoying Splash City Golf, which was a HUGE HIT! As a bride, KD was a DREAM to work with! She answered every email and phone calls so quickly and was so patient with all of my questions and last minute needs!! She made absolutely everything run so smoothly for us!! On our wedding day she made sure everything I needed was done! We truly cannot recommend The Wylder enough!
