We Love the Omni HHI!

We adored our wedding at the Omni – it was the perfect place for our family to gather for wedding week. The venue and resort are stunning. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. It was a joy to see our family enjoy the various aspects of the resort. We loved walking the grounds and running into family gathering at the fire pits, walking on the beach, in the pool, etc. Our guests loved the venue and the ease of staying on property. Alison and her team were incredible to work with. Each Omni employee was an absolute joy to work with day of and throughout the process. The head chef created an incredible menu – our tasting was delicious, the food day of was incredible. There were so many stunning places to take photos, on and around property. I truly could go on and on! We just adore that we can come back to visit and celebrate anniversaries, and cannot wait to return with our children one day. It is a stunning venue and resort, with an incredible team. We truly cannot say enough good things!

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.

Best Wedding Venue and Service

Wow wow wow! I can’t believe how amazing the Omni resort was. Alison was Ana amazing coordinator. We had a very rainy wedding day but we were still able to have an outdoor wedding and fulfill all of our wants! The servers at the reception were so fun and a perfect party bonus! Would recommend this resort for every wedding!

Beautiful oceanfront venue!

While my husband and I were on the search for our wedding venue, we did a venue blitz looking at venues all along the South Carolina and North Carolina coast. Once we arrived at the Omni Hilton Head, we both looked at eachother and knew we found the spot!

We held our ceremony on the beach followed by cocktail hour and dinner and dancing at the Shorehouse. Everything turned out so beautiful, and the food was delicious!

Alison Ward was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. Her experience and expertise helped answer all my questions and ensure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding.

You can’t beat the location! The ocean views were incredible, and it was so nice to have our family and friends all stay at the Omni and be able to easily walk to our wedding weekend festivities.

I highly recommend booking your wedding at the Omni, and we can’t wait to return for an anniversary!

Perfection

We got married at the Omni and it was perfect. Our whole week at the Omni was the most perfect week of my life. We got married on the beach and had our reception in the Shorehouse at the Omni. It was all beautiful and the food was incredible too! It's been a couple of weeks and I am still on cloud nine.

Gorgeous! A Dream Come True

I have dreamed of getting married at the Omni's Shorehouse since I was a little girl, and Alison and her team made that dream come true. Communication was stellar, we were always in the loop about updates to our layout, our menu, and our timeline. We were treated like the number one priority even though we knew there are always other weddings and clients to consider. Our food was delicious, the setting was perfect, and we were able to stay on budget while having a truly beautiful day. I cannot say enough great things about this venue and the entire team who work to make it so spectacular!

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!

I have your place!

My new husband and I were married last weekend at the Omni. We had an absolutely fabulous experience working with Alison and the rest of the Omni team. Great customer service and a beautiful venue. It is not always easy to plan a destination wedding from afar, but Alison made this easy. We held both a rehearsal dinner and reception at the Palmetto Lawn and Deck, and Shorehouse, respectively. Our guests loved this setup and having all events right there together. They never had to leave the resort nor did they want to! I would recommend the Omni Oceanfront Resort to any couple looking for a great place to hold a destination wedding weekend.

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.
