Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate

s, I can't even name them all were so fantastic to work with. They truly cared and did not miss one detail. I highly recommend the Omni Orlando Resort. We along with several guests of the wedding stayed for the wedding weekend and the accommodations and amenities were great too!

ideas to meet that minimum, instead of having us pay the difference. I felt like I could reach out to Michelle with any questions and concerns and she was always very helpful. We felt like celebrities the entire time we were on property with how accommodating everyone was!

ly sold once I toured the property and met with the FANTASTIC Amanda Demore. To start, the resort is absolutely stunning. They have multiple ceremony sites and numerous ballrooms to choose from. We opted for the GC Commons for the ceremony and ChampionsGate Ballroom. It was the perfect size for our guest list and has a private balcony. After the contract was signed, Amanda remained accessible for questions and was simply a joy to work with the entire year leading up to and including our wedding day. Let's talk about their catering...because wow, at this point your planning is kicked into high-gear and it's time to choose your dinner options! Enter Michelle Argueta (Catering Service Manager) and Alyssia Dewey (Catering Coordinator). These two blew us away again with their warm personalities during our menu tasting. I have to mention they will work with you on dietary restrictions. Being gluten-free, I was ecstatic to know I could enjoy everything on our menu and cocktail hour hor d'oeuvres. The chef whipped up delicious, mouth-watering options that our guests are still raving about! We wanted to personalize our wedding with signature cocktails and Michelle brought our creations to life. I can't thank her enough for being so patient, kind and attentive to my husband and I through the countless emails and calls in those last few weeks. I remember how happy I was seeing Amanda, Michelle and Alyssia just outside our reception doors before our big entrance. I was giddy with excitement and gave them all the biggest hugs filled with gratitude. All of their hard work led up to this moment. Their service staff was on-point the entire night. These remarkable ladies went above and beyond and the Omni truly delivered an incredible experience. Thank you!! ❤️

to answer our questions and ensure we had whatever we needed. Marissa Musumeci was also involved in our planning process and onsite the day of and we appreciated her help so much. The Omni provided a package for our wedding that made planning so much easier. I would highly recommend this package. You are able to stay involved in the planning process, but you don't have to worry about getting all of the puzzle pieces to come together - the Omni package takes care of this for you! They provided the ceremony space, the reception space, get ready rooms, a day of coordinator, a company for our cake, food and beverage by Omni staff, attendants throughout the day for service and and all setup/ tear down. The venue was beautiful. Our ceremony was outside at the Ballroom Commons just before sunset. With the beautiful landscaping we opted to add very little of our own decor. The backdrop of palm trees and pink hibiscus bushes was all we needed! We took photos around the grounds at sunset and they were amazing! Our reception was held at the Grand Salon which I would highly recommend. It's set a bit further away from the resort and it made our event feel much more intimate. Our cocktail hour was just off the salon on the patio. It provided plenty of space for our guests. The fire pit and water feature made for fun photos, and the sunset in that spot was amazing! We had a buffet dinner and beer and wine bar. The service staff was incredible. I can't say enough good things about them! They took care of everyone and kept the reception space looking perfect. They were constantly checking on myself and the groom to ensure we had all we needed. I don't have their names but thank you! I could gush about our wedding all day. Omni is a fantastic venue for a wedding who goes above and beyond to help you create your special day. I highly recommend the Omni Orlando to any newlywed couple!

fight that awful I4 traffic!! Once we came across the Omni we never looked back. Amanda Demore is an absolute angel and I am sure that without a doubt our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without her. With this venue we got everything we wanted and more. The food was amazing and the service was even better. We had the taco station for a late night snack and OMG IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Our wedding day was so perfect and honestly the only decision I had to make was whether or not I wanted strawberries or blueberries in my mimosa. It was the most stress free and joyous occasion. We look forward to returning to the Omni yearly for our anniversary!

k star/angel on Earth. She worked SO hard for our little wedding. She even found ways to add special little touches that we didn't even know we wanted! The team is AMAZING. They made the entire wedding planning process so fun and SO easy! The one comment I have heard from our guests more than any other is how fantastic the entire staff at the Omni was. We were blown away by the level of service provided. I cannot possibly thank the team enough for giving us the gift of a dream wedding. I recommend the Omni for literally anything. Seriously! Vacations, weddings, family reunions, baby showers... anything! Trust the Omni Orlando team--they will make your dream a reality!

credible time. We could not be happier and would recommend the Omni ChampionsGate to others in the future!

us a magical dinner which we’ll never forget! Thank you all!

service all-round, and the food was amazing. My guests were very impressed with everything. Would definitely recommend them to family and friends whether it be for an event or just for a stay to lodge. We will be back to visit in the near future:)))

to our vision and took it to another level. The booking process was simple- the team ironed out every detail for us so we felt comfortable with our decision. We had dedicated contacts for room reservations, rehearsal dinner, catering, you name it. Although I’m organized, they were even more on top of it with friendly reminders for upcoming deadlines; I received frequent “just checking in on you” emails and calls. We had a world-class tasting with the catering staff, our fantastic planner from Blush by Brandee Gaar, and 4 guests. I felt like royalty- they pulled out the red carpet and the food that day & wedding day was out of this world. Take it from me - my mom is an Executive Chef and she was beyond impressed. The month leading up to the wedding was made easy because of them. The wedding week was amazing surprise after surprise - we had so many treats delivered to our rooms, we had check-ins from everyone to let me know everything was going smoothly, and the staff pulled it all off with no issues. Look no where else if you want a 5-star experience on your big day, with the best staff around. I would book them again in a heartbeat no questions asked. We are forever grateful for the perfect wedding day because of you all! Thank you!! Love, Colleen & Robby Lyle

signed a contract was absolutely amazing. We worked with Amanda during the planning process and Taylor took over about two months before our wedding because Amanda got promoted. Both were fabulous and both were 100% accessible the whole time we were planning up until the day of our wedding. I honestly couldn't imagine a better team than the team at the Omni. If you want an absolutely wonderful experience when it comes to planning your wedding with a team that makes it incredibly easy for you, the Omni is the way to go. Not to mention the grounds are beautiful and there is a ton of stuff for people who are staying at the hotel to do during the weekend! Honestly it is now two months after our wedding and I miss the planning process. If we were doing it over again, we wouldn't change one thing about our wedding weekend at the Omni.

ed of.

was prompt to answer. I felt no worries on my wedding day because of Lindsey Kurtz and her team. I can’t say enough about my expierence. They ensured my wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish! I also worked with several of the suggested outside vendors who were just as great and were very easy going to any changes And/or concerns I had. I truly hands down felt like royalty on my big day! I felt sad that my expierence of planning my wedding and working with Lindsey Kurtz and her team was over because I wouldn’t be working with the best of the best anymore. I would highly recommend planning your wedding at the Omni Championsgate Orlando it’s absolutly PERFECT and magical!

right then that we had found our home! Lindsey, Amanda and their team were absolutely amazing from start to finish and we could not be any more grateful. They were excellent with communication (which is hard to find nowadays) went over and beyond to work with our budget, accommodated us like VIP’s on our big day and took care of everything, man the list can on and on – I could be here for hours lol. The point is, if you are reading this and contemplating book a tour! You will definitely not be disappointed with your choice! XO

t and they were able to work with us to make everything just the way we wanted and needed it. I would consider having another event here in a heartbeat! I would truthfully tell anyone to go and look at the venue and if you do not fall in love with your vision instantly I would be shocked. My husband and I cannot thank The Omni enough for making our special day so unbelievably amazing!

rs. The Venue: It was clear that Omni had it all together; beautiful golf course ceremony accompanied by sophisticated ballrooms. With such a beautiful venue, there was no need to fluff-up the place with overwhelming decor. We simply had uplighting provided by a DJ (Orlando DJ and Lighting), centerpieces, chair covers, and flowers to decorate the ceremony archway (provided by florist). Omni took care of all the catering, linen, silverware, cake, tables/chairs, and lots of other misc. items. The Team: Lindsey and Amanda are the main Omni staff members that take care of it all! They have excellent communication not only with the bride/person of contact, but also amongst each other so that everybody is on the same page. They are always available to help and answer questions, and most importantly to ensure a smooth wedding day. Lexie was our wedding coordinator- she absolutely kept everything on track and in order to actually execute a stress-free wedding day. Lexi works for company called 'Blush by Brandee Gaar' and her services are included by Omni. These three gals know what they are doing and work so well together. I honestly have never been a girlie girl that dreams about fairytales and plans things out, but let me tell you, these gals made magic happen! The FOOD: Your guests won't remember how detailed your centerpieces are or care that you forgot to have the gazillion wedding etiquettes right 100% of the time. Please DO get the food right! It's almost been a year since our wedding and people still compliment the food from our wedding day. Everything was de-li-cious! Keep in mind that you may modify a particular food to your liking, just say so during the tasting. We made sure to eat during our reception by allotting this time with our planner (Lindsey) and the DJ. Brides please don't stress. Yes, there are way too many details in planning a wedding and of course you want everything to go right. Remember that it is OK if not everything goes as planned. It is your day to shine, but mostly importantly it is the days that TWO become ONE in the presence of all our loved ones. Keep the big picture in mind and trust professionals to orchestra the big day so that you can actually suck it all in. Dance, eat, take a good look at everything that is happening around you and don't let the "paparazzi" annoy you with all the selfies they want on their cameras or whatever it is that can ruin your day.

mpionsGate for your special day!

s of being VIP were felt. As busy as this team can probably get, we never felt left hanging or in the dark. Our wedding was not just a day it was a fun filled week for family and friends. The Omni has all you want for ceremony location, reception ballrooms and a place for guests to lay their heads. We fell in love with the Omni property our first visit with Lindsey and Amanda. My husband and I enjoyed a complimentary round of golf, then were welcomed with champagne and delicious appetizer as we embarked deeper into wedding planning with Lindsey and Amanda. I explored several other Orlando venues but never go the prompt response or good feels that this dynamic duo gives off! We quickly were able to decide on an outdoor ceremony location and the beautiful ChampionsGate ballroom for our approximately 120 wedding guests. We were set up with Cullen, whom did a great job coordinating our room block and tackling our guest reservations. Omni offers a complimentary stay in a suite for the Bride and Groom on your wedding night, we loved the room and decided to stay in it the entire week of or wedding. Plus the bridal parties are provided with a special get ready room the big day. The night before our wedding we welcomed guests with a fun filled TexMex party near the fire pit area. Amanda and Lindsey helped me created a big Texas style menu for my guests, this was a custom menu and everyone loved everything, especially my Texas raised groom. Attention to every detail down to particular food requests were honored. Our rehearsal went off without a hitch and we easily made our way to the fire pit to enjoy our guests. The morning of our wedding day, I was so excited to host a private yoga class for my lady family and friends. The Omni grounds were the perfect setting to watch the sun rise and feel the Namaste vibes with my lady tribe before all the craziness of the big day! My vendors were all lined and a timeline was set by the awesome Busy Bee team, this was a perk included in our wedding package, and much appreciated. Busy helped my mother decorate our ceremony site outdoors, which was conveniently located near the cocktail hour directly after the ceremony. One of the best things about this venue is the fact we eliminated travel for our all out of town guests for the entire wedding weekend. Our reception ballroom could not have been more beautiful , I must credit my mother and family for setting up the ballroom the evening before. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more! We loved everyone we met from the David's Grill bartenders or the poolside cabana employees. We did not celebrate just one day, we enjoyed ourselves and our family and friends for nearly a week. We especially loved our final day with our friends and family at the cabana that was compliments of Amanda the day after our wedding. We ended our stay with a private small family style dinner at the sushi restaurant called Zen. Everywhere we went we felt VIP, as did our guests.The groomsmen enjoyed the golf course, the ladies enjoyed the pool and spa! The children enjoyed the pool, kids camp and the Easter weekend festivities. We cannot wait to go back to visit our team and the Omni!

l staff at the Omni Championsgate Orlando. Amanda DeMore, the Catering Services Manager tag teamed with our brilliant wedding planner Brandee Gaar to make our dream wedding come true magically!! From start to finish, with friendly and efficient service and sound advice they made it all effortlessly seamless. They, along with the entire Omni team were very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. It was extremely easy to communicate our ideas to them and they took the time to help us work out every detail. This includes but not limited to selecting the perfect meal for our guests, finding the perfect spot for us to exchange our nuptials to recommending the best vendors. We could not have asked for more. The food was delicious and was exquisitely presented. Our guests were totally wowed by our wedding. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and luxurious; beautiful hotel with world class facilities; great spa setting and services. We would certainly recommend The Omni Championsgate as your wedding venue. Stop searching and just book!!! We would also like to say a special thank you to our vendors who were superb to work with: Lee James Floral Party Flavors Custom Cakes White Rose Entertainment M3 Makeup Paul Duhon Videography And our rock star photographer Kristina “Bumby” Grimm of Bumby Photography

very accommodating when I changed my mind! We were treated like royalty on our wedding weekend and everything was perfect. My guests had an absolute blast and had nothing but great things to say. We truly had a magical wedding. Anyone that chooses the Omni for their wedding is making an amazing choice!

everything you could want at one site. It was a beautiful venue for both my ceremony and reception. We are still receiving compliments on the food, service, location and elegant ballrooms!

nues and none of them treated us and spoiled us the way the Omni did. Will be recommending to everyone I know!

ll whom received a very special treatment as our wedding guests. From wedding planning, guest reservations to the big day, Amanda and her team flawlessly executed our perfect wedding day.

ding day perfect! Every single detail was exactly what we wanted,and made the entire process easy and stressless. 100% Recommended!

ve asked for a better experience. If we could get married here every weekend, we would in a heartbeat!

n understatement. We cannot say enough great things about the Omni Resort at ChampionsGate. Any couple looking for the perfect venue, THIS IS IT!!

om connecting us with a day-of wedding coordinator to recommending décor and entertainment vendors. Visiting the Omni for a walkthrough and menu tasting was key as we’re not local. It gave us a chance to see everything and make adjustments. Although there were some delays in communication along the way, everything came together fabulously in the end. Our wedding day turned out as we had hoped and exceeded expectations. Special thanks to Amanda (our main Omni contact)!

presented pictures of previous weddings to give us an idea of the different rooms and their preferred vendors list. All the vendors we used were fantastic and it really helped that they knew of the Omni and the space so they knew what they were working with. We worked with Amanda and Maria (the wedding coordinators provided by the Omni) who made planning our wedding fun and special. They thought of all of the small details and we could tell they were very experienced. Between all of the meetings prior to our special day and our wedding day itself, we never once worried about anything. They handled scheduling the arrival of all the vendors and oversaw the entire set up. As the bride, it was extremely helpful to not have to worry about anything going wrong or setting up the day of. The staff at the Omni are professional, cordial, helpful, and all around pleasant people to work with and share our special day with. I would highly recommend hosting your wedding at the Omni. You will not be disappointed.

d during the day of our wedding, so the ceremony had to get moved inside. It is spring in Florida, so I knew the chances were possible, but the ceremony was still great as our officiant/pastor was great! My dad actually was the one that found this venue, and we were able to tour the property and meet Lindsey about a year before our wedding date. She was AMAZING and made it like they were lucky to have us visit. Throughout the wedding planning process, I worked with Amanda DeMore who is another asset to team!! I felt like she was amazing answer every single one of my emails and during the week of the wedding, my text messages. She was able to work with my dad on a custom premium drink package with signature cocktails as he didn't want a full liquor bar. Amanda even helped with me with getting in touch with the pool restaurant as I wanted to host a Friday pool party for out of town guests, and they were able to accommodate that! Amanda was right there the entire wedding weekend and took care of everything . The staff here really know what they are doing! Everyone was raving about our wedding and still are saying how it was one of the most fun weddings that they have been to! Also wanted to mention Eddie, the banquet captain. He was awesome as well!! Literally everyone at Omni Orlando caters to you. We cannot wait to come back for our anniversary weekend!

ce, attention to detail and the fact that the resort was a fairy-tale in itself. The team at Omni truly deserves a five-star rating though, they are able to make your dream wedding come through, with no questions asked. We wanted our wedding venue to be a place where our guests felt comfortable and treated like family. Most, if not all of our guests were from out of town and the Omni Orlando staff went above and beyond to ensure that each of our guests were happy with their accommodations. I would highly recommend Omni Orlando Resort if you are looking for a wedding venue that does it all. The food and ambience were simply spectacular and you can just not beat the atmosphere that the Omni Resort brand provides. We still to this day have guests telling us how much they loved our wedding. When all is said and done, make sure you pick a wedding venue where quality and customer service is their first priority. Omni Orlando Resort delivers exceptional and incomparable quality and as such provides a once in a lifetime memory for your special day!

visited a number of high-end venues in the area, but many of them seemed to consider us as just another number to meet their quota. Omni, however, proved to be superior in every aspect: the layout of the property (not too big, not too small), options for customization, and IMPECCABLE SERVICE. The team (Amanda, Lindsay, and Lexie) was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were extremely accommodating with a variety of special requests. A question was never left unanswered. They provided a sufficient amount of options to choose from which suited our needs and budget, and we were able to PERSONALIZE our choices. One advantage that Omni had over other venues was the ability for us to work with one consistent team throughout the process. We weren't passed along from department to department. They were all genuinely happy to create a seamless wedding weekend for us. I would have to say one of the only problems we encountered was the room blocking process. Although complicated, it ultimately worked out. The venue itself was perfect. The entire facility was in great condition. Although my husband and I are Orlando locals, over 90% of our guests (225 total) were from out-of-town. Having a resort environment in a central location for everyone was essential when choosing a reception venue. My husband enjoyed golfing with his friends and family the morning of the wedding. I was able to relax and enjoy a massage at the spa with my mom and sister just a couple days before the wedding. Our cocktail hour was mostly indoors and partly outdoors. It was a gorgeous day outside, so it provided guests with a nice view. The National Ballroom suited our needs well. We had enough space for all our guests without the room feeling too large. The FOOD WAS AMAZING during the cocktail hour and reception! I still have guests raving about the food and open bar. Bartending service was quick and friendly. The pool/outdoor area served as the perfect space for our entire family the day after the wedding. Overall, we made the perfect choice! We STRONGLY RECOMMEND choosing Omni for your wedding!

his is where we wanted to get married. My husband and I had our hearts set on getting married on the beach on the Gulf of Mexico, but with family traveling from all over the world, we decided to have it in Central Florida. The Hotel is breathtaking. The staff is truly amazing. Every single detail was exactly what we wanted. The night we toured the property, Lindsay was fantastic, and was fantastic throughout the entirewedding planning process. Her taking the time to find out EXACTLY what we wanted, and to tailor a package for us was above and beyond. Once the contract was signed, we met with Amanda Demore. CAN NOT SPEAK MORE HIGHLY OF HER. Every single question, was answered and she went above and beyond with EVERYTHING. Our day was fully taken care of. The day of our wedding, I woke up completely sick with Strep Throat. Amanda throughout the entire day took care of EVERYTHING that I couldn't even think of. She told me to take a breath and that everything was under control. Every single time with a kind smile. My husband and I are so grateful for the team at the Omni. Every single one of our wedding guests raved for months, and still do about the food, and the atmosphere. We had guests traveling from 4 continents, so we had to throw an amazing wedding...every single detail was above and beyond. If you are reading through reviews, even remotely considering ANY Omni, do yourself a favor and check them out. Everything was so smooth, and we have nothing but compliments for everyone that works there.

itself ran so smoothly, the food was incredible and everyone commented how tasty it was. We were married at the ballroom commons which was so private and picturesque and had our reception in the championsgate room which was the perfect size and so pretty. I loved all the natural light and the private balcony! The package you receive is very good, the cake that was supplied was so tasty (we did pay extra as wanted some extra tiers). We didn't find the private cocktail room until the cocktail hour was over but it had so much food! The suite for the wedding night was lovely and the staff made sure all our belongings were moved into it for us. I really can't rate this place any higher we loved our day and the bonus honeymoon stay was just as incredible. The omni resorts are always so breathtaking and the championsgate is no exception. Thank you Amanda and Lindsey!

cess stress free and smooth sailing especially considering the situation! An evacuated bride is not the easiest person to deal with but the resort was wonderful and Amanda was there so help. Everything was beautiful and we received so many compliments on our wedding and it was all because the resort was able to accommodate us so easily (or at least they made it look easy!). We started planning in 2015 over a yr ago. During that year period we had 3 different wedding planners due to different circumstances. We were so annoyed going in thinking we have to plan the wedding again for the 3rd time as the info was never passed along correctly. Once we switched over to Amanda and her team (who we only knew for 3 days) we didn’t have any more issues. I must have said to everyone that weekend 100 times how this wouldn’t have been possible with out Amanda and Lexie (at Blush by Brandee Gaar)- I am not one to usually write reviews but in this case I felt it was necessary and wanted to do whatever I can to let people know if they want to plan a wedding and have someone who can understand what you want, take the time to get to know you and whats most important- call Amanada and Lexie at the Omni Orlando. They took what was an awful experience from start to 3 days before the wedding and made it the most memorable day/weekend of my life. Not to mention how much fun everyone else had. Thank you so much again and I would highly recommend this resort to any engaged couple!

alm and positivity as a massive storm approached. Amanda, our catering manager, and her staff never flinched while I proceeded to become a nervous wreck and they did everything in their power to make sure our entire week was perfect, storm or not. Amanda was totally present and in control and I cannot thank her enough for talking a panicking bride off the ledge multiple times and for working with our vendors to make our wedding/hurricane party just as beautiful as every other wedding they've hosted. The number one comment we heard from guests (especially those from out of town) was "Thank God you picked this hotel!" and I could not agree more :)

omantic. I also did have some very clear ideas about what I did and did not want. I didn't want an outside wedding with an indoor back up plan...I wanted an indoor wedding. I wanted a room that we could make look like a church, I wanted my cocktail hour in a room and I wanted all of my wedding "rooms" next to each other. I felt absolutely blessed when we found the Omni. Amanda Demore and Lindsay Kurtz are absolutely dedicated to their work and insuring wedding day perfection. Every vendor we worked with were excited to be working at an Omni wedding. The detail and excellence that the staff provided soothed every nerve I had. What the staff couldn't get done, Amanda made happen. I couldn't be happier with the wedding arrangements, food was fabulous and accommodations were perfect for our large family. I can not say enough about the great memories we have of our wedding day and we are so glad we chose the Omni for our venue. We have a great amount of gratitude for Amanda, Lindsay and all the staff of the Omni.

s), and professionalism. Lindsey, Lexie, and Amanda were always on point with their service. The package they offered was the best bang for your buck and worth every penny. They were so helpful with a multitude of changes with budget, guest count, and date change; their flexibility was honestly a surprise with how high quality of a resort they are. The food was delicious and all of my guests raved about it. The Omni team treated Juan and I with such care and attention that we felt like royalty, if I had to plan a wedding all over again I would choose the Omni Orlando resort in a heartbeat!

t of planning. Many thanks to the Omni staff, as our Hollywood Glam wedding of just over 130 people was planned with much greater ease than we could have ever dreamed. Amanda Demore was truly exceptional. She communicated with me in a timely manner, offered great ideas/suggestions, and also genuinely seemed to want our wedding to be glorious. Our visit to the Omni blew us away (we live out-of-state), and I cannot say enough about the staff. The level of professionalism, care/consideration, thoughtfulness, warmth, and sense of welcome were phenomenal. We wanted to do the wedding all over again and never leave the resort! We are so, so happy that we chose the Omni. I never felt like I was in the dark about anything - in fact, for a type-A person, I felt like the catering staff were more on top of things than I was at times - and at no point in the process did I doubt that our wedding was going to be anything short of spectacular. From beginning to end - booking the venue from out-of-state, countless emails sent and received, visiting the Omni for our tasting and tour, the wedding rehearsal, wedding ceremony, and of course the reception - we were beyond impressed with the service. The staff met our needs and more! Best part - there were fireworks at our reception (part of the Memorial Day celebration), which made for a beautiful backdrop for pictures. Amanda and the staff kept this as a sweet little surprise. Also, the food was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, and the culinary staff were wonderful and very responsive. We had our own personal butler who gave us such a nice wedding blessing! Overall, I love that everything felt organized. Everyone was so calm, cool, and collected, which in turn put us at ease. The catering staff at the Omni are a classy bunch and if you are looking to be pampered and treated like royalty (with all of your wedding desires met), the Omni is a must. The accommodations were A+, including our honeymoon suite, which was huge and so nice!! And of course our poolside cabana was pretty cool too. I also have to mention the omelet’s (and the breakfast in general) at Trevi’s (one of the restaurants on-site) – delicious! In hindsight, I should have booked a brunch there at Trevi’s the day after the wedding. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who took great care of us and contributed to a special day that we will always hold dear. We will certainly come back to visit, and so will some of our guests who raved about the Omni as well! Thank you! Crystal and Ikem 5/28/2016

st or question that we had was answered promptly and efficiently. We managed to view the hotel when we went for the menu tasting, and that was a treat in itself, Amanda was our host for this and she was another person who was a great help during the whole process. The day of the wedding could not have been better. The ceremony and the cocktail hour were held outside as the weather was fine. During the cocktail hour we had canapes served which were delicious and plentiful. The food at the reception was very good, we offered our guests a choice of chicken or fish and everyone I spoke to commented how tasty it was. We opted for the drinks package and the bartender was very impressive, not just by the quick service but by the way he appeared to remember everyones drinks. We were assisted by our wedding planners 'The Busy Bee' prior to the wedding and on the day itself. I could not fault them at all. Each and every member of staff that we encountered was pleasant and wished us luck for the wedding. It was a truly wonderful day and I would highly recommend this as a wedding venue.

Orlando at this level, the Omni is more reasonable and just as beautiful and classy - not to mention an overall fun and warm environment. We are thrilled with how our wedding at the Omni turned out! The only thing to look out for is working with the reservations department was a bit difficult when it came to the room blocks for the guests, however, once everyone got to the hotel the hospitality provided by all of the staff was fantastic!

appointed!

nd new, clean and as you enter you drive under the "Championsgate" signs with a beautiful view of the Omni in the background. Past the city, the Omni is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever visited. It's so stunning driving up the winding driveway with the golf course and flowers... it literally takes your breath away. The Omni staff is also top notch. I cannot express enough gratitude to Lindsey Kurtz and Amanda Demore for all the personal attention, guidance, organization, attention to detail and the countless hours of extra time dedicated to making my dream day a reality. They are so unbelievably professional, precise, organized and willing to go above and beyond to make us happy. I don't think they ever said No to any request we presented (and we had a lot). This venue is HANDS down the best Orlando has to offer. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend. There is absolutely not even one negative thing to say about this venue and our entire experience. We were treated like gold and had the best overall experience when it came to all aspects of our wedding weekend. Our parents and families were also so pleased as Lindsey and Amanda went out of their way to make their experience one to remember as well. Everything was absolutely PERFECT. Best day of our lives. Thank you Omni, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts! Cant wait to come back and visit! Love, Lesley & Jason

was just perfect. The meals were delicious and the resort was beautiful and made the wedding an unforgettable and outstanding celebration! They could not have done any better!

Ritz Cartlon, Gaylord Palms, amongst many other luxury properties, it was clear that the Omni Championsgate was the one that captured both our hearts. From the very first day, when my husband and I went to meet Lindsey and Amanda just to view the property(Omni's event planners & wedding coordinators, who were literally with us every step of the way while planning the whole thing) we were treated as royalty. They made sure we were comfortable with every choice we made, encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone on somethings, and I must say EVERY SINGLE THING that they said was a good idea, definitely ended up being!! Also, the vendors they recommended all ended up being first class businesses. The only thing I didn't listen to them on was my photographer. I researched online and found a local couple for cheap. I was beyond wrong... I still regret not going with one of the few five star photographers Lindsey showed me in her book, however, the flawlessness in everything else my wedding had made that easier to bear at the end of everything. Having said all that, having our wedding at the Omni Championsgate was the BEST CHOICE we have ever made. The venues were gorgeous, everyone's room (especially ours) were amazing, and the five star service is the topping on the cake. Put it this way... We ended up extending our stay here an additional night instead of moving onto our actual honeymoon destination, due to our love of this resort. Please don't make a mistake... For the wedding of your dreams, just know it is EASILY achieved when booking it here!!

Another big thing for my husband and I was that they were very responsive and did not hesitate to go above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable with the food options, vendor set up, bridal/groom suites and the timing of everything. The Omni team made my husband and I feel like we were royalty on the day of our wedding. They upgraded our bridal suite as well as made sure there was champagne, snacks and beer in the suite as well as our room. They also listened to what we needed and made sure they were prompt in making sure everything went smoothly. I would ABSOLUTELY choose the Omni, the amazing team and the venue over again. The money was so well spent and it honestly went off without a hitch. I can't say enough wonderful things about them!

were THE BEST! Of course being MY first wedding as well as planning a wedding...I had no idea where to start with ANYTHING and they were there EVERY step of the way! Pictures came out gorgeous and my guest were very impressed with the venue as well as their hotel rooms. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone x10000. They included the wedding cake and a wedding coordinator which was a major PLUS. You can't go wrong with the Omni. I was a VERY happy bride!

she was prompt, accommodating and wonderful to work with, and that continued throughout the 15 month planning process. The room rate could not be beat ($99/night plus taxes and fees) and the resort was a perfect location for us to feel like we were surrounded by our family and friends all weekend. The food was delicious (we had the buffet) and the staff accommodated any requests we had for the menu. While you hear stories from other couples that they didn't get to eat or drink at their own weddings, that won't be the case at the Omni- their staff made sure we had a drink in our hands all night and brought us plenty of appetizers and food. Included in our wedding package was an amazing day-of coordinator separate from Omni staff, a custom wedding cake, a stay at another Omni property of our choice during the year after the wedding, get-ready rooms and a beautiful wedding night suite. Two things to note- make sure you ask lots of questions about the reservations/room rate process. We had a couple of snags with their reservations staff, but that was quickly taken care of by the awesome catering & sales staff. The other is that a room is reserved for brides to get ready in, which is wonderful, but it is more of an empty meeting room than a traditional hotel room. If you're looking for a more comfortable place to get ready and take pictures, I would see if you can use your wedding night suite for that purpose instead. All in all, we couldn't be happier with our Omni experience! It was everything we could have hoped that our wedding would be.

th everything! If I had a question or request, she was quick with a response and did everything possible to give me the best wedding I could ask for. Between her and Lexie Knittel, I was able to get everything I wanted and they both made the planning experience enjoyable and fun! The hotel itself was beautiful! Despite it being a very crowded weekend, the staff of front desk, pool attendants, servers, and bartenders made everything so enjoyable. We had many guests that came from New York and they were all very informative and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel and venue to everyone! It's beyond gorgeous, from the atmosphere to the rooms, the pool, the golf course, and most especially the courtyard and ballrooms where the wedding was held. The food was fantastic and everything was perfect for the weekend and the night of. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable, perfect, and fun experience and that is all thanks to Lindsey and her team!

t of out of town guests coming to the wedding. Lindsey and Lexie were the most accommodating and professional people we could deal with over the last year. After locking in our May 23rd 2015 date we started working with Norma on our guest rooms reservation. She was constantly in touch with up to the date spread sheets listing all our guests arrival and departure dates. Lindsey and Lexie made sure the food and beverage was on target as well as the ceremony and reception venues. Both the wedding ceremony area and reception area were prepared perfectly! The food was unbelievable and our bar tenders were spot on! The fact that the cake and wedding coordinator were part of the package was a gift in its self! We never had to leave the property since we had our rehersal dinner on Friday night was at Trevi's restaurant which was absolutly fantastic! All I can say to sum up our wedding is that we still have people come up to us and say it was "the best wedding ever"! You need to take the time and check out The Omni at Champions Gate. You will not be disappointed!! Thanks Lindsey!!

rdinators was PHENOMENAL beyond compare. From the minute my family and I went here to check out venue sites for our ceremony and reception we knew this was the place. Lindsey was super friendly, professional and made us feel like we weren't just another bride and her family. We enjoyed an extensive tour of the hotel and all its amenities, then afterward were taken into a private conference room to discuss more details about packages. We were set up with a personalized plate of snacks, drinks and treats (so delicious) before we even talked numbers. ALL the other locations we looked at kept us in the lobby to talk about pricing. THAT FACT (among many many others) had us choose the Omni! After setting up our date, Lindsey and her team were so easy to keep in contact with, helped us find our other vendors and constantly kept touch with me offering help and advice in covering the smaller details as well as updating our ceremony/ reception details. HOLY MOLY the FOOD WAS SOOOOOO GOOD! We went in for our tasting and it was the best food beyond anything I'd had at other weddings (sorry to my friends but it's true). We even had signature HIS/HERS margaritas included as part of our cocktail hour and reception (a Brilliant stroke from Lindsey herself stemming from a short conversation we had one day). THe entire day went off without a single hiccup. Everything was on-time, actually early thanks to everyone on the Omni Team and Blush- Lisa Hernandez was my day of coordinators. The entire crew of caterers, bar tenders, servers, chefs were spot on and super friendly and accommodating. IT truly made our day "THe Best Day Ever!" thank you thank you!

sionalism, wedding knowledge and presentation was well above all the others we had interviewed. Our initial impression was spot on! Lindsey was amazing to work with as well as all the Omni staff. Over half our guests were from out of state and they all commented on what a wonderful vacation they had at the Omni. They didn't want to leave the property. We had every single wedding function on site. A pool party with a cabana, rehearsal dinner at Piper's ( excellent food), welcome party at David's (again, amazing food), bridesmaid breakfast at Trevi's (great), ceremony and reception (both amazing, beautiful and excellent food). The day after we had a breakfast at Trevi's amazing buffet. Every restaurant has excellent food and top notch service. Chico, our reception catering captain, could not have done a better job. It was absolutely perfect! The rooms are immaculate, roomy and very comfortable. The Villas are stunning. Pool with lazy river was so much fun! Only negative was problems with front desk. They were really, really friendly and polite but disorganized when it came to putting the breakfast vouchers in the key packets and getting the welcome boxes delivered to the room. I had wanted the boxes to be handed out at check-in but the Omni does not handle them that way. They have to be delivered to the room which did not turn out well. The manager was very apologetic and refunded the delivery fee. If we hadn't had the welcome boxes or breakfast voucher difficulty it would have been 1000% perfect and then some. I highly recommend the Omni for a beautiful wedding venue!

event plans and ensured everything was just as I envisioned. Not only were they always available to answer my questions, these fabulous ladies helped me every step of the way, in all areas. They helped customize our menu to make sure we had exactly the dishes we wanted and the food was fabulous! Our friends, family, and bridal party were treated with incredible care, professionalism, and kindness. We had a lot of out of town guests and they all loved their stay and were so impressed with the grounds, staff, and all of the beauty that surrounded our wedding weekend.

dsey Kurtz and Amanda Demore are the best at what they do. I never give reviews to anyone for any reason. For me to actually do this is a big deal. This was hands down the best experience I've ever received in my life. Lindsey made sure I knew she had my back. She was there with my wedding coordinator, Maria, from Blush By Brandee Gaar at the reception overseeing everything. I felt so at ease with such a strong and organized set of ladies with me the entire night. The food was excellent. It's not easy to please 160+ old school group of Asians, especially since they were expecting Chinese food. However, the chefs made such delicious American cuisine, my guests came back for seconds and thirds! The hotel rooms were also immaculate. We received an upgraded bridal suite and it was absolutely stunning. Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and a handwritten thank you note were waiting for us upon arrival. We felt truly special when LIndsey took the time out of her day to handwrite it. You don't get that kind of customer service anymore. Especially since the world has become so technological with email and printers. It's truly a lost art. Any other vendor would be a waste of time and money if it wasn't Omni at Champions Gate. Phenomenal value, food, and customer service. They cannot be beat.

ith Lindsey and her catering team from the chef to the waiters to the bartenders themselves, our experience with the Omni was never short of absolutely perfect. All of our questions (which were endless) were answered down to the last detail through email, phone, and visitations non-stop. I was an out-of-state bride planning my wedding from Tennessee and wouldn't be in Florida until the week of the wedding. Lindsey and her team stopped at nothing to make sure everything I wanted was done down to the last detail and beyond. She responded immediately to all my emails, helped us think of creative ways to make our wedding more personalized including thinking of a special orange and blue signature drink to show off our UF Gator pride and even created a sign for us at the bar with the sign "Gator-Made Signature Drink! She accomodated our traditions including the belly dancers and drum players that came and performed and spoke directly with them coordinating all their parking and even set up a room for them to practice and drinks prior to their performance all free of charge!! The Omni worked well within our budget and gave us the most incredible package offered to us by any venue in Orlando. Our cake was upgraded to the utmost at the smallest fee, a high-rise elevated stage was placed for our sweetheart table, our dinner was upgraded to premium meat on the day of the wedding to our surprise! all of this free of charge! They accomodated and embellished every single one of my crazy ideas and made our dream wedding more amazing than what we had pictured. The night before the wedding, we were provided with keys to our rooms but my bridesmaid room was not near mine. This was of no fault of the Omni's, I had booked the two rooms at different times. Because our rooms were not near each other, they automatically upgraded me to a full 3 bedroom suite!! At no extra cost at all!! The suite was so beautiful and absolutely perfect for my 9 bridesmaids and I to get ready in. On the day of the wedding itself, my entire bridal party of 9 girls, 2 flower girls, and 2 mothers were provided with transportation from our suite to the reserved dressing room on the other side of the resort at a moment's notice in the morning. My hair dresser and photographers were provided with free parking and exact directions to our location. Everything was absolutely flawless and flowed with complete ease and perfection. Our wedding planner ran into delays with the set up of the reception hall at the time of the reception causing us be set back 1 hour. The Omni quickly acted and extended my cocktail hour and added an extra hour at the end of the reception time all free of charge. Our honeymoon suite was complete with chocolate strawberries, champagne, and all of our belongings delivered directly to the room. On top of all of this, the Omni offered us a free 3 night stay at our choice of an Omni resort in Cancun, Puerto Aventuras, Hilton Head and other locations up to 1 year after our wedding! We cannot thank the Omni enough and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this venue to any couple whether you're looking for a high-end wedding or trying to stay within a budget. I cannot say enough things about this resort! They made my dream a reality!

s perfect! Even down to the fact that if you book the ceremony with them they provide a coordinator for the day of the wedding which is a life savor! They made sure to take care of our friends and family staying at the resort as well as us! We didn't have one guest say anything bad. We even had our rehearsal dinner at Trevi's restaurant located in the hotel. They were very accommodating as well. The food there was excellent as well as the food at the reception. We chose to have a buffet meal but this was not your average buffet food! It was very good! They even went as far as setting up a small kids sized buffet for our kiddos at the wedding. Our server for the night saw that we weren't eating much, as most couples don't, and made sure to have leftovers put in our room. We would highly recommend the Omni to anyone looking at this venue! We loved our special day!!!!

here would be more venue choices. The Omni was my first scheduled venue and I fell completely in love! Not only is the hotel and grounds absolutely beautiful but when I met with Lindsey that sealed the deal for me. She seemed down to earth, attentive and truly passionate about her job. I still held both my appointments meeting at the JW Marriott and Grand Cypress but I decided to have my wedding weekend and Rehearsal dinner at the Omni. I was the type of bride where I had an idea of what I wanted everything to look like and then I wanted Lindsey and the wedding planner that the Omni appoints you (Kyle was ours and she was amazing. The best of the best) to take my vision and make it become a reality. Which they both did and even better then I could have ever imagined. We did run into two glitches with having a problem blocking rooms and the adult pool went under construction during our wedding weekend. Lindsey took care of both issues (Even when my husband was getting frustrated she was on the phone promptly and made us feel reassured about fixing the shortage of rooms available.) Obviously the adult pool closing Lindsey couldn't fix but she set up cabanas at the family pool for our guests to enjoy and the day was perfect. Problems are going to arise/happen when you are planning a wedding and I think it says a lot about how the people and the venue address the issues. Lindsey and everyone else that we dealt with at the Omni were so professional and they seemed to truly just want to make our day as special and perfect as they could. Which they did. We used all the vendors that Lindsey suggested and we were left with a perfect rehearsal dinner, officiant, food, photos and dinner. Lindsey you really did make our day/weekend something we will always treasure! Our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful and fun that whole weekend was. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💜💜💜 Sarah

ms really bent over backwards (understatement) to help us create a cocktail style reception with some traditional touches. We had butler passed apps and a buffet with open seating. The food was plentiful & tasty! We were in national ballrooms C&D and the space was perfect for our set up and 175 guests. I didn't get ready in the provided "get ready" room, as my family had a 3 bedroom suite which was plenty of space for my girls, hair and makeup. It was also nice to have a full kitchen. My groom used the provided room for the guys and it was perfect for them. He also golfed with his guys and they enjoyed the course. Our guests loved staying at Omni and most stayed multiple nights to a full week. Majority of our guests traveled from around the US, so coming to a beautiful resort is comforting. Can't thank this resort & team enough for a memorable day!

make tour day special. She is hard working, always prompt when responding to calls or email and professional. The entire staff will do what they can to make your vision a reality. The food on our wedding day was delicious! The chef even accommodated special requests from some of our guests. If you are looking for a one stop shop this is your place. We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding and post wedding brunch all at the hotel and the guests loved it. My husband and I could not have asked for a more perfect day!

ing included an on site coordinator as well as a real wedding planner and day-of coordinator! We highly recommend the Omni at ChampionsGate to anyone looking for a reception/ceremony venue and we can't wait to come back here every year to celebrate our anniversary!

and she was beyond amazing! She always always had a smile on her face and we felt like she truly cared for us. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had even if she wasn't in her office, which spoke volumes. We were very impressed with how sweet and catering everyone was at the Omni and I have already recommended my friends and family for their special day! Such a special place for us!

in venue locations due to rain. Wedding coordinators Lindsey Kurtz and Maria made the day seamless. The fun carried on through brunch Sunday morning. Champions Gate handled our every request! The Champions Gate team made everything so easy. I felt like I was able to relax and enjoy the whole weekend knowing that everything was safely in their hands. From the moment we pulled onto property on Thursday afternoon the staff was asking how they could assist us until the moment we left Monday. What service! Would highly recommend Champions Gate for a wedding or any special event in the future.

ect day.

Lindsey answered all of questions in a timely manner and was so great work with! In fact, all of the staff was so accommodating! It truly was the best weekend of our lives and I wish I we could re-live those moments every weekend! :)

fessional and was always looking out for us the entire time. The planning process was so smooth that the venue was not even a worry in all of the planning! Lindsey was always in touch via email or a phone call and responded quickly to our concerns and needs; she was looking out for us every step of the way and made sure we got everything my wife and I needed. The cost spent was nothing compared to the level of service, professionalism and inclusions we received as part of our package. The quality was truly out of this world, and I couldn't see giving the Omni anything less than 5 stars in any category! The food was absolutely amazing, so much so we still get comments to this day on how amazing it was. For a lot of our guests who had dietary restrictions, the chef and his team made everyone felt included and was able to leave with more than a full stomach! Lindsey laid out all of our options for us and made the entire tasting so enjoyable. The tasting is where we met our provided wedding coordinator and Maria from Blush did not disappoint either. From Maria's professionalism and eagerness to help, I could tell Blush and the Omni had a wonderful working relationship. The fact that she was included in our venue was a huge blessing, as we really never considered having a dedicated coordinator. I couldn't have even imagined doing the wedding without Maria. The location is absolutely stunning. My wife fell in love with the layout of the resort as soon as she pulled up to the front door. There were so many beautiful locations in which to take pictures, including a fire pit at night time - that was a pretty unique spot! It's just enough outside Orlando that you're close to all of the attractions, but you're not right on top of them, avoiding much of the Orlando traffic. The Omni is in prime location! The rehearsal and wedding day went off without a hitch and I believe that's thanks in part to the wonderful staff taking care of our guests, from the Valet team, to the servers, chefs, Lindsey, and hotel staff. Everyone had such a wonderful time and I firmly believe the Omni had the most influence in making it a truly unforgettable wedding, not only for our guests, but for my wife and I. Thank you, Omni at ChampionsGate!

inators, servers, bartenders) were extremely helpful, professional and a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Our guests were treated like royalty and we are still receiving rave reviews about the beautiful atmosphere and quality of this resort. The food was very important to us and we gave the chef a tall order requiring American and Indian dishes but once again the cuisine at every event met and exceeded all of our expectations. I would highly recommend the Omni at ChampionsGate for any event large or small!

ful with every email. I arrived in Orlando 2 weeks before the wedding where I arrived for the meal tasting which was amazing in itself. We felt my special and cared for and this wasn't even the main event. The package we received from the Omni was extremely well value for money and the environment is exquisite, with a grand exterior and grounds which made our wedding setting amazing. The days and weeks before were stress free as the coordinators seen to every detail allowing me to relax before the big day. Every detail of my wedding was as I imagined it and the day was amazing. Every need of ours was met and the staff could not do more for us. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is getting married and I would do it again in a heart beat. Excellent and beautiful place.

Maria (from Blush) were the most amazing helpers the whole way through and I couldn't imagine not having them there! I definitely recommend this resort as a venue for all future bride and grooms, you won't regret it! Food was fantastic, amenities were great and the staff were very helpful!

r Lindsey Kurtz. Our wedding was very small and intimate, only 45 guests, but having it at the Omni really gave it a super last, sophisticated vibe. The resort is beautiful and the amenities are well worth the price. Everyone was super helpful, and friendly, our reception and ceremony went off without a hitch. Other than a few very minor glitches with the front desk, the Omni provided an absolutely perfect day for us! We were very pleased with this venue, and would recommend to anyone!

l. Not to mention the food was excellent. If we had to do it all over we would without a doubt have our wedding there again!

o she gave me a list of vendors so I didn't have to search around. My guest complimented me on how beautiful my wedding was and how well organized it was. I would definitely recommend Omni to future brides.
