Lovely Old Virginia Resort

The Omni is a special place for my husband and I. We try to spend time there every year. We love spending time in the pools and spa, and participating in the various activities the resort has to offer.

The staff at the Omni was amazing to work with from our first meeting to discuss the possibility of doing our wedding there through subsequent visits to plan the food, rooms, and wedding activity our point of contact, Esme Pitard, was there with us to help ensure our wedding would be every bit as amazing as we dreamed it would be.

The Homestead is a rustic historic resort with multiple possibilities as a wedding venue and an amazing destination for guests from across the world with activities available for all ages and interests.

We highly recommend it.

Excellent!

The Omni Homestead is not only a beautiful resort but it proved itself to be an amazing wedding location. My husband and I had an intimate wedding of about 50-60 guests. Unlike many of the other venues we looked at, the Omni did not force a minimum fee on us that we would have needed 100 guests to hit. They worked with us to mold a wedding package that worked for us. Most our family came in from out of state and the resort made for an amazing weekend away for our guests. We did the cocktail hour in the charming Washington Library and then a buffet reception in the Mt Stratford. The food was delicious.

While the Omni itself served as the perfect venue, the true star of our wedding was Esme Pitard. From the day we emailed the Omni she assisted us every step. Esme made sure we had every detail covered for not only the wedding but the rehearsal and after party as well. She helped us find off-site vendors and was honest about what she thought would work best for us. She even showed up at the church to send my wedding party down the aisle.

Esme was also very flexible and was prepared for every last minute change and hiccup we threw at her. My husband and I received an increase in our guest list the week of our wedding and Esme stepped up to find us a room to better fit our crowd. And then the day before the wedding we had doubts about the speakers we had brought for music and joked about hiring a DJ. Esme quickly went to work and found a DJ literally the night before the wedding. The DJ was a hit and really set the scene of our wedding.

The Omni Homestead is a pricey place but they truly take into the needs of the couple by providing people like Esme to help out. We never felt like we were just another wedding and every step was about what we wanted. If you are looking for a historic backdrop with activities for all your guests to enjoy and a professional planner we highly recommend the Homestead for a wedding.

dream come true...

I spent summers and holidays here growing up as a kid. Always knew I wanted to get married here. So worth it - everything was beautiful. Service was impeccable, food was excellent. Would do it again tomorrow.

Honestly, I couldn't dream of any venue being better than the Homestead. My husband and I have visited here for years and knew we wanted to get married here, but I would've chosen it just on its amazing qualifications. Cali and Rachel are incredible. I swear they would move the mountains if you asked them to. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Grand Ballroom Foyer (REALLY beautiful), our cocktail hour in the Jefferson Parlor, and our reception/dinner in the Crystal and Empire Ballrooms. My husband and I only had 7 months to plan our wedding, and we were in our first year of law school (and I made the questionable decision not to hire a wedding planner). They made everything work for me - all went according to plan because of them, and they made it seem effortless. They attended to our every need that weekend and it went perfectly! It's probably pricey (don't know, since I didn't look around) but the peace of mind that comes with a venue that provides so much for you is priceless. Thank you to everyone there!

Clearly, as I have awarded five stars in every category, you can guess that we are extremely pleased with our venue choice! Ten days have passed since the service, and our family is still thrilled as the day could not have gone better. Rain forced our planned outdoor ceremony inside, but it hardly mattered. The staff at the Omni Homestead Resort made the change seamlessly and when all was said and done, we couldn't have been happier with the set-up! From the very start, Rachel Withrow and Cali Baskin were fantastic to work with and totally responsive to a million questions from myself and the bride. The rest of the staff at the Homestead was fantastic, as well. The wedding planning weekend allowed us to choose our own menu, and we were given a lot of flexibility along the way to tailor the weekend to our needs. Most of our 140 guests stayed on-site, and I have heard nothing but raves about the property. In spite of the weather, everyone had a fantastic time. The food, the drink, the service...it was all spot-on. Many thanks to everyone at the Omni Homestead Resort!

Outstanding! My husband and I could not have thought of a more beautiful venue to share with all our friends and family. We wanted our wedding day to be a part of an experience in bringing two people and lives together, and the Omni Homestead was the perfect setting. Our families and friends had a week long of luxury vacationing and activities that brought everyone together for our intimate wedding day. The picturesque golf view outdoor wedding was over the top beautiful and our reception in the Grand Ballroom Foyer was perfection. I still have dreams about our wedding cake and the amazing food from our rehearsal lunch, the reception, and to an amazing buffet breakfast the next morning. There is not one person that hasn't come up to me and said that our wedding was the most 'beautiful wedding' they have ever seen, and it truly was. Rachel and Cali from the event team are fantastic! My husband and I can not thank them enough for giving us the most seamless day and making every girl's dreams come true.

The Omni Homestead and its staff exceeded expectations in every way. Our wedding was scheduled for October 7, 2016, in Charleston, SC but was canceled when we were forced to evacuate the area due to Hurricane Matthew. Taylor Underwood did more than was humanly imaginable to help us pull off a 130+ person wedding in less than 15 weeks and did so with such professionalism and grace, it is simply beyond words. The Crystal Ballroom was stunning and the food surpassed all expectations with many stating it was more like eating at a fancy restaurant than eating at a wedding. I recommend the Omni Homestead without reservation or hesitation.

I was the mother of the bride and did most of the coordination with the Omni Homestead Resort. It is a beautiful venue and the coordinator, Rachel Withrow, did an outstanding job with all aspects of the wedding. She made really good suggestions and the wedding, reception and arrangements for our family and guests were first class!
