The Wildwood Inn

The outside venue is nice. One problem, the nice outside are is surrounded by residential area so when the wedding starts you may hear people working in their lawn in the back ground. We had lawnmowers and weeded eaters going when I was at my sisters wedding.
There is no real dance floor to speak of but they tried to make the outside porch into a dance area and I give them an A for effort, but it fell short.
The hors d’oeuvres were frozen and cooked or refrigerated and fried. It’s what you can get from SAMs. It was pretty flavorless.
The staff was very nice and they tried to accommodate the wedding party where they could.
Overall I would give this venue an average rating not bad, but for the money I expected more. I have been to worse wedding venues.

This review is only for the Inn as a wedding venue. We did not stay in the guest rooms so have no comment on them. We attended an evening wedding and found the venue disorganized and unfriendly. On the good news side, the bride and groom were very happy. But it was unpleasant as a guest.
Our first problem is we arrived too early as traffic from Dallas was not that bad. We asked if there was some where we could sit and buy a glass of wine to wait and were not only rebuffed but simply told, «no.» There was no offer of making us comfortable in fact they seemed annoyed. So we left and came back.
The wedding was held on a back patio. Beware the stones are uneven and was rather treacherous for anyone in high heels. Even the minister joked how difficult it was to safely get down the aisle. It was 95 degrees and there were no fans or misters and no water available. You just had to sit in the heat.
The room was not large enough to accommodate everyone so some tables were set up in the heat on the patio. Again no misters. The inside tables marked «reserved» for family had such small signs that people ended up sitting at those tables leaving the majority of the family outside.
We decided to forgo dinner and stand against the wall listening to toasts. We were told by the wedding coordinator that we could not do that as we would end up in the way and in the wedding pictures so she told us to leave the room immediately. So we did as instructed and left. We stood outside in a hall way trying to listen.
There was also totally insufficient parking requiring some family members to walk a mile to get there in the heat.
The wedding coordinator had a frown on her face the majority of the time and chewed on her hair. She was clearly over her head. The venue really did the young bride a disservice by allowing her to book a wedding that was too large for the space and having staff, particularly the coordinator, that made people feel unwelcome.
i have been to countless weddings and this was the most poorly managed by professional staff.

I had my wedding reception here in May 2015. We reserved the entire hotel for the evening, and so all 14 rooms were occupied by our friends and family.
First, let me say that the staff was helpful and accommodating from start to finish. Our coordinator was Amanda, but we also worked with Kristen and Bailey. My husband and I had been looking for reception locations, and happened to drive by the Wildwood and stopped in. We were immediately greeted and taken on a full tour of the hotel — they opened up any bedroom that we asked, and walked us over the entire grounds — all without an appointment. The facility was beautiful and we knew that we had found the right place. When we sat down to sign our contract, all of the rules/​requirements and fees were thoroughly explained to us — anyone that has had trouble in the past with «mystery fees» clearly did not read the contract all the way through, because it’s all there. Additionally, we wanted to do something different with our wedding reception by bringing in an outside vendor to cater a coffee bar — this was not at all a problem, and they truly mean it when they say that the can work with you to make your dream wedding happen!
In the following months, I had the opportunity to come back to the Wildwood to show my mother, grandmother and other family members, the hotel. Any time that we walked through the door, the desk staff was friendly and it was never a problem to do an impromptu tour. I also did my bridal portraits at the hotel, and the staff actually stayed after business hours for us in order to accommodate my photographer’s schedule! Whenever we had changes in the room assignments, or appointment times, it was never a problem to get things figured out. Amanda (or one of the other coordinators) was always available by email or phone, and I always heard back from them within a day with answers to any question or request that I had — even on Sunday!
The night before the wedding, my maid of honor and I stayed in room 5 (the bridal suite). We got in around midnight, and there was a helpful staff member at the front desk there to check us in. (My apologies, but I cannot remember his name).The room itself was WONDERFUL. The bathroom is spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and there was plenty of room to spread out.
The next day our guests arrived. Everyone was thrilled with their rooms, and told us again and again how comfortable they were. Our reception was in the evening, and all of our vendors arrived at the hotel while we were at the ceremony. I have been told that the staff was very helpful in getting the room set up and working with the vendors to rearrange tables and furniture as needed. This was such a relief to any bride doing her own wedding planning — it helped me to not be stressed during my ceremony because I knew that everything would be in place without me having to be there.
When we arrived for the reception, Amanda coordinated our entrance and champagne toast perfectly! The dining room was just the right size for our 50+ guests, and it was so nice to be able to move around the room and actually get to sit and talk to people. Then, at the end of the night, the staff was very helpful in getting us containers to store the leftover food and allowed us to use their kitchen refrigerators as well.
Finally, we received a lovely thank you note from Amanda two weeks after the reception, and our full deposit back. I appreciate how quickly this was taken care of, and we had no trouble with overcharging or hidden fees (as some have complained of in past reviews).
Overall, the experience was wonderful. I am so very grateful to everyone working at the Wildwood for all of the help and cooperation in planning my reception. I will absolutely recommend this location to anyone looking to get married in the future. It is the perfect size for a smaller wedding party. Yes, the cost is a bit pricey (though NOT when you compare it to some of the other venues in the DFW area); however, when you factor in how much you are getting — including full use of the hotel and its 14 rooms, the tables and linens, some of the decorations, full breakfast for your guests in the morning, and the amazing staff and wedding coordinators — it is WELL worth it.

The Wildwood Inn was our perfect wedding venue. We had visited several wedding venues throughout the D/​FW area and decided on this beautiful boutique hotel. We wanted an outdoor wedding; but wanted the option of moving it indoors if there was 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.

I contacted wildwood inn Saturday June 6^th for two rooms. I have been moving out of my home four days straight we were not sore and tired. I was told there were three rooms available, I asked for the room rates of the three rooms. I told the girl there were three adults and one child, that I needed a room with two beds, and I needed a room with just one bed. I was told three people were not allowed in one room and that all of their rooms only had king size beds. I asked for the rates of the rooms that were available, I WAS TOLD… We have three room available, one room was 149.00, ome for 99.00 and the «superior room» 225.00. The Superior Room had a whirl pool, I said all I don’t need a whirlpool I need a shower and a bed!!! I told the girl I wanted the one room for 149.00 and I wanted the 99.00 room. I was put on hold and another lady came on the line and I TOLD her once again that I wanted the room for 149.00 and the 99.00 room, she said fine and took my reservation. I was told there was a wedding going on that the parking would be at the end of the lot. I gave the lady my email and was advised my confirmation would be emailed to me.
When we arrived, there was not one parking space to be found, I went into the hotel and advised them that there were no available parking spots they said they would move a car so we could park. When I finally checked in I confirmed with the girl the room rates she told me 149.00 and 99.00, I gave her my card and we went to our rooms. Upon checking my bank account I was charged 168.00 and 225.00. I contacted them and I was told you were given a receipt and that I was emailed the confirmation. I advised her that I never received an email from them or a receipt she asked me for my email address, then she said «oh we have the wrong email for you». Needless to say they will not return the difference. This hotel is a ripoff!!!

The restaurant has closed and they only do social events (catering).
They are very pricey for events

The horror continues…
After I was assured on two occasions that the charges Robegate 2015 were actually not done, low and behold they actually were to the tune of $ 173. Yes, ***$ 173*** for two robes that THEIR STAFF took out of our room. To add insult to injury these glorious people tied up over $ 1400 from our checking account for nearly a week! They ran the first room charge of $ 589 for the room we thought we booked, then when we moved the first time instead of just refunding the difference they ran another $ 450 and then when the rate was adjusted on Saturday morning for all the hassle they ran another $ 289 PLUS the additional $ 173 for the robes. The money was held out of our checking account for FIVE full days while the credits were reversed and to this day the charge for the $ 173 is still pending.
After all this I have called and asked for our entire stay to be refunded and filed a BBB complaint for bad business practices. The WWI response? Check your bank statements, everything is fine on our end.
No offers to make this right have come. Thank God for overdraft protection because had this put us in a hole I can assure you they would have done nothing about it.
Be warned.

Amazing! We went for our anniversary and it was one of the best places we have stayed at! Very homey feel. The only complaints. The bed was creaky and the jets in the jacuzzi soaked the floor where my clothes were. Other than that the staff was sweet the place was very nice and we had a fantastic time! Will definitely be going back!

Had my wedding here this past September 21^st, and it was amazing! The place is beautiful all around, we hardly needed to decorate. It’s absolutely perfect for medium to small weddings. The staff was so wonderful! So friendly and accommodating! They worked with us the entire process to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. The coordinator (Bailey) provided by the Wildwood was heaven sent! She was truly wonderful from start to finish. Especially the day of the wedding. She really went above and beyond. We had a very large wedding party (20 people) and it got a bit chaotic at times, but she kept everything going and in order. Very grateful to her and the Wildwood for making it such an amazing experience!

This place is nice don’t get me wrong, my wife loved it. It has a unique swimming pool and a great setting! However, I didn’t appreciate the persons or person attending our room when we were away for the day. They turned my AC up from what I had it set on and when we cam back to the room we got a nice burst of hot air in our faces when we opened the door. I was furious!!! I’d stay again just cause my wife likes it, but I tell ya… That whole AC incident really ticked me off!

AMAZING PLACE, me and my wife now, actually did our wedding here and it was perfect for us. We could have not asked for a better place. It is gorgeous and food was amazing. Really good size for a small wedding venue and having cocktail waiters and everything included plus cake I mean it was PERFECT. Thank You Wildwood Inn

The other reviews are probably correct that there isn’t anything else like The Wildwood in Denton. If you want to spend a weekend evening away, but not at a La Quinta or Marriott, this hotel is an okay choice for something a little different. However, the Wildwood Inn feels like staying in a nice model home that they’ve unsuccessfully tried to make feel old world sophisticated. Based on the photos we saw when we purchased a groupon, we were totally surprised to find this so called «hidden gem» about a mile off 35 smack in the middle of suburbia, which you can see from the hotel windows. I guess if you live in the area, this is as close as you get to «boutique hotel,» but I wouldn’t advise anyone in the Dallas area to make the drive.

This is a lovely hidden gem in Denton County and a perfect place for a quick getaway! My husband surprised me by making reservations here the night before Valentine’s Day. I’ve lived in Denton county for almost 5 years and had NO idea this place existed! It has lovely vintage furniture throughout, though not too feminine. Most B&B’s that I have visited are just covered in rose patterns and feminine touches, making my husband feel slightly less manly. This place is not the case. The patterns for the linens are pretty, without a bouquet of flowers in your face. Everything is very elegant, with a hint of modern luxury. The room we stayed in had a Jacuzzi tub for two, with a wrap around fireplace. It was lovely and the Jacuzzi tub hit the spot! The only complaint I have is that the tub was so loud, my husband and I couldn’t really talk over it without yelling. The king size bed was nice, but it was pretty hard compared to what we normally sleep on. My husband said he didn’t sleep well at all. I was fine, but the bed could definitely be softer.
I would definitely come back and stay longer.

This is a very cozy inn… I don’t think there is anything else like it in Denton. We have stayed here twice now for our wedding anniversary.
The first time we stayed in room 1. Great room, but I could hear walking/​creaking upstairs all night long and I got no sleep (I’m a light sleeper, though, and my husband had no trouble). The next night was fine since no one was staying upstairs that night. I did mention it and they offered to move me, but I declined since no one was upstairs that night.
This year we stayed upstairs in room 13, which was a wonderful suite. The wrap around fireplace was wonderful (by the way, the switch for turning on this gas fireplace is on the wall next to the TV). The king bed was very comfortable. It felt very private. In both rooms, there was a very large whirlpool tub. I love their bathrooms. Elegant and cozy at the same time. Our room had a TV that had built in DVD player. They offer a selection of DVDs in the living room downstairs. I love this idea, but the DVD didn’t actually play very well in the player. I happened to have my laptop with me, and the DVD worked fine in the laptop, so it’s a problem with the DVD player.
During the week, they serve a continental breakfast, which includes things like fruit, yogurt, oatmeal (hot water provided to stir into instant oatmeal), cereal, whole wheat toast, bagels, English muffins, some pastries, jam/​butter/​peanut butter, and juices, water, coffee, and a very nice selection of tea (with things like honey, various types of sugars, milk, cream). My only complaint here was that the red apples were old/​beaten up and shouldn’t have been put out.
We had a hot breakfast Saturday morning, which was okay. Scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns are served on heated buffet trays. There was also some cut up fruit (pineapple, honeydew, and cantalope) and breads for toasting.
We had dinner both nights of our stay. Make reservations ahead of time – I’m not sure they are always open for dinner (when I inquired about dinner, she had to make sure they were open for dinner those nights). Dinner is delicious, so do stay for dinner. Unfortunately, an oven component was missing so we could not try their samosas (?), but one night we had fish and the next we had steak. Both excellent. The appetizer rice paper wrap of microgreens and citrus is not to be missed if that is a choice. I didn’t notice the beer selction, but the wine list is adequate for the size of the inn (we enjoyed both our white and red wine selections). I do not think there is a bar – just wine and beer.
They do offer packages: I ordered the romantic night package that comes with champagne, chocolate dipped strawberries, and flowers. The red roses we got were just beautiful and the strawberries were wonderful. The champagne selection was… fine and certainly quite fun.
They do have a pool, but as we always go in December, we haven’t tried that out. It looks very nice, however.
To sum up: this is a great location for a secluded romantic get away. It also seems to be a very popular place for weddings. Do stay for dinner.

My friend was getting married here and i was in his wedding party. The front desk was nice enough to give us a room for him to get ready in.
We were able to check out the rooms and they were very luxurious and comfortable. They have a vintage comfort to them as a lot of the furniture is actually made during the days when furniture was made with wood and not sawdust.
As for the wedding venue its very nice back there. The landscaping in the back where the ceremony was held made it feel very serene.
The food was pretty good. They had a variety of different Hors d’oeuvres.

We were married at Wildwood Inn in August 2013. I I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. Myca was absolutely incredible– she answered all my (many) questions and bride-​jitters leading up to the wedding, and day-​of, she made sure everything was flawless. I am so picky, and yet I would have changed one thing. All our high-​maintenance family stayed and the Inn the night before, and the staff were so kind and patient. The food was absolutely amazing and the setting beautiful. Kendra and Bailey were also great, but Myca really exceeded every expectation I had, and made our day so perfect.
I cannot recommend Wildwood Inn enough. I thought it was impossible to not be stressed out about the vendors, food, ceremony, logisitics, etc., but I was proven wrong. You won’t regret having your ceremony and reception at Wildwood.

I stayed at the Wild wood Inn as it was the venue for my niece’s wedding. Beautiful setting and my room was very nice. The first night I arrived about 1030pm and went to my room and I has all sweaty and my flight was late due to weather. The front desk clerk advised me the pool was about to close. I tried to fill the tub with hot water but there was a problem with getting hot water. The first night was not that nice.
The next day they did get it fixed and I did get hot water by late afternoon.
I asked several times to speak to the GM and was told the GM was not on site. I find that hard to believe when the wedding had the hotel sold out with the group,
I asked 3x for the GM to speak or call me and they never did.
I would expect compensation for the first night and I’ve had no reply.
while the accommodations are ok… room was nice they don’t make it right when something goings wrong when the hot water goes out of service.

OMG, there sunday brunch is fantastic… The the beef medallions and mushroom cream sauce was awesome …

Reservation is a must. The dinner service only available from Thursday to Saturday.
I ordered zinfandel poached pear salad and angus beef wellington from their seasonal fall 2010 menu, both turned out to be very tasty.
If you are looking for fine dining experience without having to drive to Dallas, this is one of the few places you could consider.

So, I got married here.
The accomodations were very, very nice. I actually bumped up my rating to 4 stars because the rooms are so nice.
If you’re getting married here, though, make sure you outline VERY CLEARLY what you want. The Wedding Coordinators there kept flip-​flopping on us. We found out a couple days before the wedding that someone else would be handling our wedding.
Which was fine — we didn’t do anything complicated and all of our food/​reception/​ceremony stuff worked out great. But our wedding coordinator acted as though we were putting her out anytime we needed something or had a question. Not cool, lady. Not cool.
BUT — if you’re looking for a place to STAY — I really enjoyed it. The continental breakfast on the weekends is really great (but pretty blah on weekdays).
