We had the perfect wedding at the Omni. My husband and I wanted a Disney adjacent wedding in a magical place where we could have everything all in one location, and the Omni was i...ncredible! Marissa and Megan went above and beyond to make the planning process smooth and special (they even made some magic happen on numerous occasions that really helped make the steps to our "I do" even better). They were the best! Try to get them if you can!
In checking out venues to choose for our wedding, what really won me over was the guest service, the beautiful resort, the ceremony location with the waterfall fountain, and - la piece de resistance- the Grand Salon's gorgeous chandelier. All the other venues we visited had mundane lighting with dated, unattractive carpets that drew the eye. I couldn't really tell you what the carpet in the Grand Salon looked like because that swarovski crystal floral chandelier pulled my focus every time I entered the room. I knew right away I wanted the Omni.
The food was spectacular! First of all, it made my planning life so easy that the food, beverage, and cake for the whole day were included in the package. I couldn't imagine the time loss on having to deal with 3 additional vendors for those elements. I did want a specialty cocktail with specific mixers I had to bring in myself, but it was a relatively easy process to work with Marissa and Megan on making that happen. Back to the food, my guests have been telling me that it's the best food they've had at any wedding by far. They were raving about it for weeks after, and one friend just told me he made a point to find and shake the hand of the chef! The Mahi Mahi was life changing, and I don't even normally like fish! Also Marissa and Megan made our food tasting experience an unforgettable memory that I will cherish!
The resort is gorgeous with so many incredible places for photos. It is also MASSIVE. And if your guests aren't staying at the Omni, tell them the wedding starts an hour earlier than the actual start time. There were almost no guests at our ceremony location at the scheduled start time because A) traffic getting there is always a nightmare on I4, and B) my ceremony location was very far away from the resort entrance so those who arrived "on time" to the entrance still had a 10+ minute walk ahead of them. They had golf cart shuttles that helped, though. And signage everywhere guided our guests who walked.
The honeymoon suite was wonderful! We didn't get to spend much time there because we did the Disney Parks in the days after the wedding (I would never recommend doing a park the day after the wedding, my feet and back regretted it). I wanted to stay longer, but it's quite pricey per night. Hopefully for an anniversary we can splurge on it one day. The spa and 5 pools give you and your guest plenty to do without ever leaving!
There was A LOT going on at the Omni at the same time as us, so it may not be the spot for you if you want to be the only event happening at your venue. They did a good job keeping our event separate from the dancer event happening next door to us. There were hundreds of soccer kids there for a competition, so it was crowded! The main downside was during check out time when there weren't any luggage carts available and the wait for the elevator was 20+ minutes. We had to extend our check out time by an hour and sometimes use the stairs to bring our bags down.
Ultimately, I was very happy with our choice!
