I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Brownwood Hotel and Spa as a wedding venue! After our original venue canceled our wedding plans just two months before our big day, we were in a bit of a panic. But from the moment we connected with Katie Hendricks and the team at The Brownwood, all of our stress melted away. Katie was an absolute dream to work with — she was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and it truly felt like they were invested in our happiness. The venue itself is stunning. The blend of elegance and warmth made it the perfect setting for our winter wedding in December. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere was absolutely magical. Now, let’s talk about the food — WOW. Chef Daphne is an incredible talent. Every dish was beyond delicious, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how amazing the food was! From the appetizers to the main course, everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. It’s clear that Chef Daphne pours her heart into every dish, and it made our reception unforgettable. As for the drinks and bar service, we were equally impressed. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and made sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. The drinks flowed smoothly all night, and our guests loved the cocktail options. I would highly recommend The Brownwood Hotel and Spa to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding experience. The staff, the food, the drinks, and the venue itself exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you to Katie and the entire team for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Rick at Mystic Dunes was fantastic! He answered every question I sent him (and there were many) throughout the entire planning process. Rick was very open, communicative and set up several planning meetings to make sure we had everything we wanted to create the perfect Pakistani-American fusion wedding. Rick was so easy to work with, had great energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. When the weather turned to rain for our outdoor ceremony he didn't waste a single second and saved the day. He also went out of his way to learn Pakistani/Muslim traditions and was very open and respectful of dietary restrictions and everything else. Rick and his staff made sure everything went smoothly for our perfect day!

The Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication was quick, helpful, and they provided great advice throughout the planning process. The spaces they offer are absolutely beautiful and the value is unbeatable. They were there to answer all of my questions and attend to our needs on the day of the wedding. The only issue we had was that the engraved champagne glasses we provided for ourselves, wedding couple, somehow got lost, and the venue claimed they could not find them. Luckily, our fantastic day-of coordinator was able to replace them at no additional charge. Despite this one hiccup, our overall experience with the Wyndham Grand was fantastic, and we would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
