  We had our Oct 23, 2016 wedding and reception at The Waterfront Inn. It was PERFECT! All of the staff was terrific. Everyone made sure that our ceremony and reception went seamlessly. We could not have picked a better place. They handled everything for us (food, decorations, bar, seating, organizing). We did almost everything via email and met with them 2 days before our wedding to iron out last minute details. They literally made sure we had a stress free day. They had great ideas on the decorations and I have to say I was extremely impressed on how gorgeous everything was. If you are looking for a ceremony by the water with the sun set in view, This is the place. No stress wedding planning, they handle it for you. You let them know what you want or are thinking and they make it happen. I just cannot express how happy we are. We had the most perfect wedding ceremony and reception and The Waterfront Inn staff is who helped to make that happen.

  Becky the event coordinator, Aimee banquet manager and Joline and the rest of wait staff and bartender were OUTSTANDING!!!! the Waterfront Inn is outstanding, The Villages, Florida. They are part of what I call the DREAM TEAM of wedding vendors -If you are having a wedding in or around Ocala you really need to have it at the Waterfront Inn, I did not have to worry about anything weeks leading up to and the day of the wedding, also part of our wedding DREAM TEAM WERE Justin at Florida DJ's, Monica and Alex at Wonshot Photography, Amelia with Pixel Pro for photo booth, Wendy with Our Simply Ceremony.
  The Waterfront Inn accommodated all of our out of state family at a discounted rate, set up a private day after brunch, and dinner for 30 on a short notice. The staff and Management were outstanding and made the whole week beautiful. I could not have done this without any of you, as the mother of the bride I did not have to stress about anything on my daughters wedding day!!!!

  The Waterfrot Inn was a great place for our wedding and reception! It was so easy to have everything in one place. The food was awesome and the service was wonderful. They were very open to any idea I had and I was worry free the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend The Waterfront Inn for a wedding in The Villages.

  Beautiful venue!

  My wedding was absolutely beautiful at the Waterfront!! We got to be out on the lake in the perfect November weather, which made a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. Food can be pricey but you can play with some options to get a good price. We used the pasta station as our main course and it was DELICIOUS. Almost every guest told us how good the food was! Overall a wonderful experience from Raquel and her team :)

  The events coordinator was excellent and very patient. The venue was beautiful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. However, the dining staff leaves something to be desired. The waiters were rude, completely unprofessional which really put a damper on our rehearsal dinner and breakfast. Not to mention, our meals took a very long time and were all cold. My guests had to return their plates to be reheated. Also, while running last minute errands in the late evenings, I was questioned by the grumpy woman at the front desk as to why I was leaving the hotel that late! While explaining that I was the bride and needed to get last minute favor supplies at the 24 hour Walmart, she shook her head and began whispering to another staff member under her breathe. It's unfortunate because the events coordinator was wonderful, too bad the others do not possess her level of professionalism.
