Omni Fort Worth Hotel

t in the valet line. Pros: very responsive, have tons of resources and can likely accommodate any request, fantastic food at the tasting—the chef is PHENOMENAL, the building is beautiful and it’s great to be able to offer your guests a place to stay at the same venue as the event. Cons: while they have the ability to accommodate any request, they will charge you through the nose for it, an exaggerated example would be sneezing and asking for a tissue and them responding with “sure, here is one but it’ll cost you $100.” It’s just kind of annoying when you’re already paying a ridiculous amount for the event to tack on additional “little” charges for hundreds of dollars. We wanted to have a confetti send off, and the Omni stated that they don’t allow those because of littering and clean up being difficult. So I found biodegradable confetti that dissolves with water. But they said that couldn’t be used either “per city ordinance,” so being a lawyer I read the city regulations and even called and received confirmation from the city that it would be fine. So the Omni finally acquiesced to our request, but wouldn’t let us have the exit immediately out the door but we had to go down the street and be on the public sidewalk at the corner of their building and then they charged a $250 fee to have someone go out and hose the confetti off the sidewalk. Not a horrible problem, but just annoying to feel like you’re fighting to accommodate yourself after paying so much. Additionally, while the chef is amazing and the food at our tasting was MAGNIFICENT, the food at the wedding was underwhelming. Which is to be expected, except that we specifically asked if the food would all be prepared by the chef or multiple cooks and they assured us that it would be the same chef making all of the meals and that they would look and taste exactly as they had at the tasting. Finally, it was raining when people were arriving at the Omni for the reception so everyone was valeting their cars and the line was so long that a few guests just opted to go home rather than wait 30 minutes in the valet line. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons and I would recommend the Omni. It was beautiful, had plenty of space for our guests/band/dance floor. And offered great amenities to the couple and family in the way of suites at a discounted rate. The rooms were beautiful with plenty of space for the hair and makeup team AND for a space to eat. The ballroom was beautiful and spacious enough for everyone to have their own space. And they worked with us to find a food selection that met our needs.
