When we visited Wylder Tilghman Island to see if it might be a venue contender for our wedding, it was the most beautiful June day on the Eastern Shore. The weather was perfect - sunny, blue skies, and a cool breeze - and we knew it would make the perfect place to welcome our family and friends and to celebrate our wedding.
Over the next several months we worked with staff from Wylder, primarily Alyssa, in planning our wedding with our wedding planner, Christine McFarlane. Alyssa was responsive to our questions and advocated for us to management regarding different negotiation points and contract questions. She was professional and kind all while making it clear that she wanted to work with us to host our wedding at Wylder.
As our wedding approached, we participated in a tasting at Wylder and at that time Alyssa shared with us that she would actually miss our wedding as she would be on parental leave. This made me nervous, reasonably so, as the woman who we had been coordinating everything with, wouldn't be there to help execute our big day. Alyssa maintained strong communication in the weeks ahead and ultimately connected us with KD, who would be our contact moving forward.
KD was excellent. She continued the strong communication style first exhibited by Alyssa and even proactively caught a few minor things for us to handle in advance of our arrival to Wylder for our wedding weekend. I should also mention that our wedding was KD's very first wedding at Wylder but you would have never known. She had a command of the space, back up plans for back up plans, and a warm demeanor that made us feel at ease.
When we arrived at Wylder for our wedding weekend, KD was present and available. She attended our rehearsal and worked with Christine to discuss rain plan options. We even hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party on site, and the staff were attentive and personable. On the day of our wedding, it began pouring rain about 15 minutes before our ceremony was set to begin. KD and Christine quickly pivoted our ceremony and cocktail hour locations and they went off without a hitch. The best part was that I didn't even need to be involved because I trusted them implicitly to handle the change. And while it wasn't the Eastern Shore day we saw when we first visited, the moody skies and covered pavilion made the perfect setting for our wedding ceremony. Throughout the reception and after party, KD checked on my husband and me, but not in an overbearing way, and the other staff, specifically Chef Chris, Charles, and Keith, were absolutely wonderful. It's also worth mentioning that Chef Chris' food is delicious and he will work with you to design menus that work for you and your guests.
We had the very best experience hosting our wedding at Wylder Tilghman Island. If you have the opportunity to host a wedding or event there, do it; the venue and the staff are incredible!

We absolutely loved our weekend stay at the Wylder Hotel! The location is beautiful right on the bay, with gorgeous grounds that encourage you to hangout and enjoy the view. We loved the amenities offered and took advantage of most--including the bikes, sauna and cold plunge, and the salt water pool. On the whole our entire time was relaxing and also beautifully curated. We highly recommend staying here and hope to come back!

Really enjoyed our stay, beautiful sunrise over the water. The sauna, cold plunge and heated saltwater pool were perfect. A little pricey. But overall a very nice stay.

HOTEL RESTAURANT CLOSED ON MONDAYS! **** I don't usually write negative reviews but I booked this for my in laws and it was such a bad experience. Maybe it was just bad luck, but they arrived on a Sunday and there was an issue with the reservation (on their end), and the desk personnel could not figure it out, so they got charged again. When asked for a manager, there was no management person available. When taken into the their, the AC was not working properly. Finally when they got settled in, they were informed that the restaurant was about to close and told that it does not open on Mondays (smh). I was embarrassed to have booked a stay here for my in laws. Never again. I understand it's not a five star hotel but unless you book a great deal, hotel rooms aren't exactly cheap. Do not recommend, or check for ALL details before booking.

Very disappointed with our stay due to mold issues in our room which made us sick. Property owners admitted to standing water under rooms yet never gave us an opportunity to move to another room even with an empty resort. Had to check out before the end of our scheduled stay. Would not go back to this resort because of the lack of response from the staff. Carpets and air conditioning units were filthy also contributing to our health issues and TV did not work. Beware of MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS .. no bar restaurant. Breakfast is horrible as well.

What a beautiful hotel and location. Lauren at the front desk was so incredibly accommodating and sweet. Champagne upon arrival, smores for an evening snack. Couldn't ask for more! Can't wait to come back!

Hotel is awesome. Lauren was very welcoming and told us all about the amenities we would have access to. She patiently answered all our questions.
Thank you Lauren for making us at home!

Visited for a girls trip in August. We liked the amenities and had a great meal at Tickler’s. Everything shuts down by 10pm, lights out, fire places out, etc. The location is pretty remote and onsite and nearby food options are extremely limited. 20+ min to St. Michael’s for other options. We tried the cafe across the street and it left a lot to be desired. Breakfast at the hotel was also minimal and not well stocked. The rooms were ok.
All in all it was a cute trip but an onsite cafe/convenience/sundry shop would be a great addition as well as a bar that stays open past 9/10pm.

Had a weekend getaway with my girlfriend and had a great stay. It’s more of bed and breakfast type feel so don’t expect a high end hotel experience but it’s still a great stay! Great option if you want to go to Saint Michael’s but don’t wanna pay the pretty high hotel prices out there. Just 15 minutes out of Saint Michael’s. The staff was very helpful and kind our whole stay . Lots of activities on site such as canoeing , swimming and biking . They also have complimentary breakfast ( bagels, cereal yogurt , coffee , nothing crazy ) . They also a seafood restaurant on site . Rooms aren’t that big or fancy, but still but still a great simple experience! They have all the standard amenities but no fridge (at least in my room) . And Roman, a staff member there was very helpful with all my requests such for irons, ice and other small requests. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nice simple getaway from the city life !

Absolutely gorgeous! Great service, location and dog friendly. Right on the water, amenities include kayaking, biking, salt water pool, fireplace, sauna, complimentary breakfast, and more. Some rooms are smaller in size with no refrigerator, so plan ahead. If you bring a cooler (which we did) you can get ice for free at the front desk. It is quite after 10pm so you can actually relax, although daytime is as chill. Highly recommend!

My wife and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at Wylder this July. We were impressed by the beautiful location and the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were professional and incredibly friendly. Our experience was excellent, and we highly recommend Wylder for a relaxing weekend getaway.
