September 14 2019 vs Hurricane Dorian

The Omni and Alison was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process! We planned an entire destination wedding without ever meeting in person. Everything was perfect and we were informed every step of the way until the big day!

Beautiful venue and awesome staff

Alison and her team at the Omni were absolutely incredible to work with! She went out of her way to do virtual site visits with us on a weekend during Covid and the shutdown. Throughout the planning process, she was always so quick to respond and helpful with suggestions. The day of I had zero stress knowing she was there to help. All of our guests raved about the food as well! The Shorehouse and the rest of the resort is beautiful. Could not ask for a better place to be married!

Such a beautiful location! My husband and I had our wedding at the Omni in Hilton Head. Our ceremony was on the beach and the reception was in the Shorehouse. It was absolutely stunning! Alison (their event coordinator) was so incredibly helpful and very willing to accommodate in any way possible. I can't even express how pleased we were with how well everything turned out, the timing was flawless, the staff was on point with everything. The entire staff was very prompt, dinner was served quickly (plated dinner which I highly recommend for time purposes), cake was served quickly, and drinks were flowing from very cheerful bartenders. As a bride I feel that everything went so incredibly smooth! We were so pleased with using the Omni and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a very nice, upscale, wedding location with great staff!

Wedding April 13, 2019

We had our wedding at the Omni Hotel Shore House a few weeks ago with a beach ceremony and our reception at the Shore House . It was absolutely wonderful from the venue to the staff to working with Alison. They truly go above and beyond and will make sure your day is exactly what you hoped for.

The Omni HHI Oceanfront Resort was the perfect wedding venue for us. We had a destination wedding and one of the most important factors in our decision was guest convenience and being able to have everyone in one spot. We got married there on December 16, 2017 and had the ceremony in the shorehouse, the cocktail hour in the pool area and the reception in the ballroom. Alison Ward and Julianne Dirks were THE BEST DREAM TEAM we could have ever worked with! They brought everything to life and honestly could not have had our wedding go off without any issues without the two of them. They did it ALL. They coordinated so many little (and big!) details on the day of that it allowed me to completely relax and savor the entire day. The food, the band (Whitley Deputy!), the booze, the entire experience was flawless. We give them our highest recommendation - honestly a big part of that is because of Julianne and Alison. INCREDIBLE!

Couldn't have asked for a better wedding weekend!

We had our wedding at the Omni and we can’t speak highly enough about the venue, staff, or service. If we could do it again, we would. We had our welcome party at the Breeze Deck bar, ceremony was on the beach, reception at the Shore House, and the morning after brunch in the courtyard. Our friends are still talking about how amazing the weekend was. The communication with Alison in arranging all the events was flawless, the food and drink service was phenomenal, and the small perks throughout our special stay was the cherry on top.

COVID-19 Wedding

A. Ward and crew were totally outstanding in helping us with our wedding from the time I contacted The Omni November 2019 to the day after my wedding. We have to push our original date out due to COVID-19 and they were very accommodating. The rest of the staff also delivered a one service from the doorman, the front desk and room service. There isn't anything negative I can say and we absolutely plan on coming back. Thank you for your service.

I had an amazing experience having my wedding reception at the Shorehouse. We had a church ceremony and just the reception at the Shorehouse. It was an incredibly beautiful venue. Guests all complimented how beautiful the fireplace was (which we had going) and the beautiful view of the ocean. It's away from the resort too, which gives it a very private, intimate feel. The open air makes it so beautiful and unique. I was happy not to have it in a stuffy conference room. Alison Ward was amazing to work with. She was extremely organized and efficient. She always answered all of my e-mails very promptly. Everyone told us the food was some of the best wedding food they ever had. We had a cocktail hour with a raw bar, baked brie and antipasto and people LOVED the raw bar and raved about the baked brie. We had filet and mahi for a sit down meal and people raved about how nicely cooked and tender the steak was and how fresh the mahi tasted. Alison also was very willing to accomodate any changes I wanted to make to the menu. I designed my own salad, and requested specific starch sides for the entrees that were not on any menu. Our guests all really enjoyed staying at the Omni, and loved the accommodations. It was also really fun to have our wedding at a place where most people were staying because we loved hanging out with our friends the entire weekend, and everyone was able to let loose and have a great time at the reception because everyone was staying within Palmetto Dunes. We even continued celebrating after the reception at the XO lounge which is opened on the weekends until 1am or 2am. It was definitely the best weekend of my life, and I couldn't have picked a better reception venue.

A huge shout out to Alison Ward, the Omni's catering manager extraordinaire. She was beyond FABULOUS from start to finish. She made every part of the process easy and had great suggestions. As for the Omni itself, we had our ceremony and reception at the Shorehouse in April 2017 and we could NOT have asked for a better experience. The venue is gorgeous with awesome views of the ocean. Our guests could not stop gushing about the location. Food was amazing and the staff were fabulous! I would not have changed a thing!
