Our wedding at the Hilton Ocala was perfect. The venue is gorgeous; there were multiple picturesque backdrops for our outdoor ceremony & plenty of different areas for photos. The staff went above and beyond to make our day seamless and stress-free. The food for our reception was not only delicious but also beautifully presented.

If you’re looking to take the stress out of your wedding day you’ve found the right place. We’ve worked countless weddings here (as a hair and makeup vendor) and every single booking has been flawless. Georgina is always very organized and makes sure all vendors are connected and the timeline runs smoothly. The grounds are stunning (photography gold) and spacious with lots of variety in looks. The bridal suite is SO great for parties to hang together and enjoy the morning while getting ready. Book a tour - you’ll be blown away!

We got married here on one of the glass bottom boats (Chief Potackee, the ADA one) and it was incredible. I did all my communication with them (Mackenzie) thru email as this was a destination "elopement" style minimony for us. Communication was incredible, all my questions were answered promptly, the boat was lovely and they were super accommodating the entire day. Captain Bill was also super amazing and accommodating the day of the rehearsal. The boat ceremony was very untraditional which was super us and we loved- however I will note that if you're looking for the traditional aisle walk, with ceremony starting immediately afterwards, the boat may not be what you're looking for. There technically is a "bridal room" for getting ready, but it's only included if you also book the ballroom reception space. I got a hotel room at the Holiday Inn across the street and got ready there- which was totally fine. Bride, groom & all guests/vendors are requested to get there 30 mins early, to get everyone on the boat. Then bride (and father/whoever) walks to the boat. No music (wasn't a problem for us, probably could have been done if you're creative about it tho). There is a bit (10 - 15min) of a boat ride to the ceremony "staging" area, in which you cannot stand because the boat is moving. Once you get to the staging area, you can stand and the ceremony starts. When the ceremony is over, you sit again and have whatever time left of the hour to do a mini boat tour. I would 1000% recommend this experience to anyone looking for a nontraditional ceremony experience.
