Dream Wedding Come True

We recently had the privilege of hosting our daughter’s wedding at the Wave Hotel, and I can honestly say it was the most magical day! From the stunning venue to the flawless service, everything was absolutely perfect. A special shout-out to Shannon McLaughlin, who made my daughter’s dreams come true. Her attention to detail, flexibility, and unwavering kindness helped us navigate the entire planning process with ease. Shannon went above and beyond to ensure every detail was just right, from coordinating with our vendors to making sure the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. Her calm demeanor and expert guidance made all the difference, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. We’re so grateful for Shannon and the entire Wave Hotel team for making our daughter’s wedding an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly special place to tie the knot!

Wave Hotel

Finding the perfect venue to reflect your taste is easily one of the most difficult parts of wedding planning. I hadn't heard much about The Wave being used as a venue, but thought to inquire as I had nothing to lose and loved the artistic style of the lobby. From answering all one million of my questions to tailoring the day to be something we'd remember with fondness, Shannon was there every step of the way. We wanted a reception venue & are still hearing months later about how everyone loved the staff, food and room. I appreciate the dedication to staying within a desired amount while not compromising on quality. And the hotel rooms were very accommodating and comfortable. I have no regrets with choosing this hotel for my wedding reception.

Best reception venue

Absolutely amazing hotel, not only for a nightly stay but for wedding reception as well. I had my reception here in May and I don’t know how many times I was told about how amazing this hotel was. But Shannon. She was the icing on the cake, she was an absolute pleasure to have taking care of us and all of our reception needs. She is truly amazing and I recommend her and the wave for your wedding or/and reception needs.

Exceptional

Shannon at Lake Nona Wave Hotel was an integral part of our special day. From start to finish, she ensured that every detail was in place, communicating with us consistently and effortlessly. The event setup exceeded our expectations, and Shannon's attention to detail truly made everything seamless upon our arrival. Our family thoroughly enjoyed their time at the hotel, and Shannon's dedication to making sure everything was just as we wanted did not go unnoticed. The staff at Lake Nona Wave Hotel went above and beyond for us. The hotel was not only prepared correctly but also looked incredibly presentable, creating a wonderful atmosphere for our event. It was evident that the team truly cared about making our day special and memorable. We can't thank Shannon and the team enough for their hard work and dedication to ensuring that our wedding day at Lake Nona Wave Hotel was perfect. The service provided was top-notch, and we are grateful for the phenomenal experience. Thank you for going the extra mile to make our day truly unforgettable.

Wedding venue

I couldn’t be happier with the final result of my wedding ceremony and dinner. Everything was exactly how I wanted it. Simple as I requested but stunning. The food in the Haven Restaurant was delicious. The attention of the staff in the hotel was absolutely incredible. Thank you for everything to all the hotel team.

Memorable experience at Lake Nona Wave Hotel

My wife and I had a memorable wedding at the Lake Nona Wave Hotel. Shannon McLaughlin was out POC and she was very attentive to detail, always had time to answer questions and was outstanding overall. We loved the garden setting for our ceremony as it is one of a kind. The hotel was very accommodating to our requests for slight changes. The food was very good and was exactly as it was during the tasting. Our honeymoon suite had some nice touches for our first night as a married couple. My highest recommendations.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
