Margaritaville Resort Orlando

The Wedding Event staff was responsive and knowledgeable about various options for the ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinner. They were transparent about the true costs of each venue, each menu, and additional items and services. The catering manager (Lissette) and staff were professional and attentive. The wedding coordinator (Michelle) assigned to our event knew exactly how to get everyone where they needed to be and when. When a few things needed changing at the last minute, they were able to facilitate solutions. The entire weekend went so smoothly because the Margaritaville event staff made sure it flowed.

After some miscommunication regarding the Catering Manager I initially booked with leaving her position (which was my biggest fear after seeing the past reviews), in came Lissette who was nothing but a pleasure to work with. She was very understanding of my stress of having to get her up to speed on my vision and went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything I envisioned. She was always quick to respond and on the money. She was always an advocate for us and worked hard to accomplish each and every one of my asks. We had a wonderful final walkthrough/tasting a few months prior to the wedding which left us with minimal finalizations to do ahead of the big day. All in all, I would recommend Margaritaville Orlando as a Wedding Venue and working with Lissette if possible.

Great place for a wedding! Lissette was the best from start to finish! Highly appreciated

I booked my ceremony and reception with Margaritaville Resort Orlando 14 months in advance. I had lots of questions at the beginning of the planning process, but it was very hard to reach anyone in the events department. To make a long story short, I was making phone calls and emails for months with no response. There were about 6 months left before my wedding when I was finally able to reach someone. It turns out that my wedding coordinator had left the hotel, and no one ever reached out to me regarding the change. The lack of communication was unprofessional. Luckily my new wedding coordinator Lissette was very responsive, helpful, and overall lovely to work with. My wedding planner Manuela, who was subcontracted by Margaritaville, was also amazing. Both of these ladies made sure every detail was taken care of and to my liking. The venue itself has a classy beach vibe. Everyone who attended was very satisfied with the meal choices, drink options, and delicious cake (included with my package). It was a rocky start, but the end product was a wedding of my dreams.

My husband and I had our reception here in April, 2023. Ashley Poulin was our wedding coordinator, she was very patient with us. We were not the only couple on her calendar and she was able to respond in a timely manner. The price per person is all inclusive (food, cake, drinks, etc.), depending on the package you choose. We also stayed on property, the rooms were so nice and the property is stunning. Margaritaville is a pretty penny, but worth every cent.

When I originally booked Margaritaville in September 2021 up until May 2022, I have been in contact with many different sales/catering managers there which stressed me out. When I had a question about tables or tastings, I would be directed to the newest manager and they would have no idea what wedding was happening when. I started second guessing my venue choice until Ashley came in. She was great to work with and answered all of my questions and made sure I wasn't stressing too much. She helped throughout the planning process and was there day of which was a huge plus! Booking MRO was the best decision ever! From the staff at the front desk to the servers working my wedding were outstanding! Everyone was so nice and happy to be there! 1000/10 recommend this venue to couples!!

Ashley, first Melvin and I want to thank you tremendously for everything you did to make sure our wedding day was unforgettable. We thank you for going above and beyond in all areas of planning and our stay. We would recommend Margaritaville to anyone and everyone who ask about a destination wedding and a place for vacation. Ashley you are truly an asset to the company and your level of professionalism, care and expertise is outstanding. Thank you for caring and most importantly being amazing and a true gem. We will never forget your kindness and your beautiful soul. Many blessings to you, Isa and Yvette Harvey.

We booked Margaritaville for our 2022 October Wedding in March 2021. From the original Events Manager we booked with we were passed around quite a few times and communication was lacking. We had one person (Jacob) that kept trying make us change our plans to something that would be easier for him but was not what we wanted. We honestly weren’t sure what to expect when our day rolled around. It got to the point where we were super defeated and just wanted the wedding to be over and whatever happened happened. Then enter the angel that is Kelsey O’Conner. We told her our frustrations with everything (and one) we had had to that point and that we simply just weren’t excited. She COMPLETELY turned things around and exceeded our expectations. She was quick to respond- put out fires before we knew there were fires, and made our day the best ever. She even had to deal with my type A mom who can be a bit overwhelming and held her own in a nice professional way (which is saying something!) Margaritaville has an absolute treasure with Kelsey. Our Wedding was HUGE (and we even had a wedding crasher that Margaritaville dealt with for us) and all of our guests talked about how wonderful everything was from the atmosphere to the food. We had a lot of out of town guests that stayed both in the hotel and at the cottages and said it was one of the best vacations They’ve had in a long time.

i was beyond excited for my wedding here. however, they switched my coordinator person 7 times & everyone on their event staff quit. communication was HORRIBLE! 5 days before the wedding things still were not correct & i was trying to get them fixed. they also showed edited pics of the venue & i was highly upset & disappointed when i got there. we had a lot of issues the morning of the wedding too, but my dad handled it & then they finally gave us everything promised & more. i asked multiple times about the honeymoon suite & they called the night before the wedding saying we had the suite that night & the next night. it was too late to use it the first night as we both already had other places to stay. they also would not close down the one side of the pool during the ceremony so people were standing in the back ground at the pool watching the wedding. someone also walked RIGHT behind us & photobombed our first kiss. the whole thing was very unorganized & we paid way to much to be treated the way i was. not once did they offer a discount or anything for not communicating with me. i went the WHOLE month before the wedding without speaking to a single person there. i will say, my photographer is a amazing & so our pictures look beautiful thanks to her editing skills getting the people & unwanted stuff out of the background. we did receive a lot of compliments on the food & the guests experience, despite the stress & issues we had to deal with to get it how it was supposed to be, we’ll close to it anyways.

I just recently got married here on March 20, 2022, at Margaritaville Resort Orlando. 50 Person Wedding. Disaster is an understatement. My wedding was stunning, do not get me wrong, but you know why that is? Because of my incredible day-of-coordinator Samantha Follmer as well as the ambiance of the venue itself. This is how it started; Kasey Bussell sold the venue she made us feel so confident in our decision with signing here. She was sweet, down-to-earth, had years of experience, and just made us feel like we were her main priority. Three to four months go by, Kasey sends out a beautiful resignation email due to family matters - to all her clients to reassure them she will only find the best talent to take over her role. Kasey hired a woman named Kristie who had worked for Disney events for numerous years. Again, I reached out to her and explained my wedding vision. But, only about a month in, Kristie resigns leaving my wedding with only 6 months left to yet another venue coordinator. No one reached out to me to let me know Kristie left. I called around and finally, someone told me that a man named Jacob was to take over my wedding now. He was not on top of it at all. Every single time I called him he would always say, “remind me of your wedding again, I don’t have your file in front of me,” Very shortly after, Jacob left/got fired. Two weeks before my wedding! No venue coordinator. Rose Pope (Jacob’s Boss) took over my wedding two weeks before my big day. Even after countless phone calls, emails, and in-person meetings with Jacob, Rose Pope had no clue what my wedding entailed. So once again, I had to re-explain every detail again! The worst part was during my wedding reception (the last hour) they called me over (The Bride) to sign papers acknowledging the total cost of the wedding! DURING MY WEDDING. On the last hour of my special day, they wanted me to sign papers! If you ask me, it was a huge red flag to call over the bride at the very end of the night after a few drinks to sign some papers in the dark. It was so disrespectful and disturbing to me. The venue food was good but again, they ran out of food during my cocktail hour so numerous of my guests could not eat even though we paid for the number of total guests to have passed hors d'oeuvres. Rose did everything she could to not be involved and made the minimum possible effort. If we did not hire a day-of coordinator, the whole wedding would have failed in Rose’s hands. In the final two weeks before my wedding, Rose would go multiple days without responding to calls or emails, often requiring me to follow up 2-3 times. In meeting with Rose with my family during the rehearsal, rose made a short appearance but her lack of a sense of urgency or any reassurance was immediately apparent. When we questioned her about things that were supposed to be in order, Rose responded in a disrespectful manner that left us all shocked afterwards, which even more so lowered our confidence in Rose’s ability to handle everything. Rose did not show up for even one minute during my whole wedding. The reception room and open bar were paid for until 10pm. They started breaking down the bar at 9:40pm and no one was allowed to drink anymore. Overall, please do not book this event space, they really dropped the ball on every aspect of my wedding weekend. I spent countless hours and thousands of dollars getting stressed out, disappointed the whole weekend of my wedding and even during my reception.

This resort made my prefect wedding dreams comes true. We were in the Compass Rose Ballroom, and the food the ambiance were all prefect. They had plenty of staff in hand to make sure our guests were well taken care of. They were even able to set aside a Yichud Room for us to seclude in after our ceremony, with a selection of our appetizers and a bottle of champagne for us to sip on while why calmed down from the ceremony. Our suit we stayed in we gorgeous and they were able to make everything we asked for happen. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Margaritaville resort in Orlando as a wedding venue!

We got married here January 2022 and it was truly amazing. The venue is beautiful and the convenience of not having to pick food vendors, center pieces, decor etc is so nice. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Jessica, the event coordinator, is prompt with communication and makes you feel heard. The staff who catered to us throughout the weekend were so great.

I am a wedding planner and recently had the pleasure of working a wedding here. It was a Christmas themed wedding and had lots of moving parts involved. The hotel staff was so accommodating and helped in whatever it was i needed to make the brides vision a reality. In part of the planning process, they always answered emails right away and also fit the dietary needs of the wedding guests even though certain things were not on the menu. I hope I get to work another wedding here soon!

This venue is truly beautiful! My husband and I were blown away by how well the Margaritaville team put everything together for us. We knew this was the place we wanted to get married since we first walked in. They made planning the wedding process as stress free as possible and would highly recommend them for your wedding!

Bernard Wedding - Winter Wonderland - It was amazing the entire location is precious. The event planner at Margaritaville Jessica she was spectacular - every wish we had she made come true. We loved the food, the venue, the staff nothing but us mattered that day. Thank you Jessica and her team you were all amazing......

GET MARRIED HERE. Seriously. The staff is amazing, so accommodating. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this entire team. I could go on and on about every single detail they put into this wedding. But I will just say that we loved getting married here.

Best place for a wedding! We received so many compliments on the resort, all of the staff, and those that worked the wedding reception. The food was phenomenal and the wedding coordinators did a FANTASTIC job in every area. The resort itself is so beautiful that we hardly needed any decor.

Margaritaville was a venue that completely exceeded our expectations! We got a hotel AND cottage block discount for all of our guests that were staying in a hotel/cottage for our wedding. The lobby, the landscaping, the cottages, and the venue were just BREATHTAKINGLY beautiful. The catering, alcohol, and the linens were all handled through Margaritaville and it was so easy! We originally started working with Kacey but when she had to leave due to unforeseen circumstances, Grace stepped in for Kacey and completely WOWed us. Kacey and Grace were super helpful, very knowledgeable, very kind, and knew how to get the job done!!! Our requests were handled in a timely manner and we got everything we could have possibly dreamed of! Grace was there for me more than I ever expected the day of the wedding and did everything in her power to make sure everything ran smoothly and everything was up to par. Margaritaville was a BEAUTIFUL venue inside and out and I definitely recommend having it here for your fairytale wedding!!

If you want to have a perfect wedding experience with an incredible staff (one in particular is Kasey) look no further than Margaritaville Orlando Resort! The spaces are incredible! Food amazing! Staff friendly and extremely responsive! Kasey is a miracle worker and honestly helped us have the wedding of our dreams! Really no place better! Thanks for everything!

This venue and staff were nothing short of absolutely amazing! Kasey made the entire process from viewing the venue during a pandemic, planning, and my 1,000 questions such an enjoyable and easy process. Kasey made sure we had everything we wanted and made working with our vendors so easy. This was our dream wedding at the perfect venue! I highly recommend taking the time to view this beautiful place and meet the wonderful staff!

Margaritaville Resort Orlando truly made our wedding dreams come true!. From the moment of our First visit with Kasey and seeing the venue, we immediately knew going with this venue would lead to a memorable night for us, our family and our friends and we were so right. Kasey was super attentive every single step of the way helping to ensure every detail was perfected so we would have the night we were dreaming of. Every single one of our guests was blown away by the venue, the food and the the staff. Every single detail from the planning to execution of our event to literally the best food we have ever experienced at a wedding was a hit for us and our guests and my husband and I truly got to experience the night of our lives due to the Kasey and the Margaritaville team! If you are looking for the perfect venue to say I do and want to work with a team that goes above and beyond to make your day special, look no further than Margaritaville. Kasey and her team will go above and beyond to make it a event to remember.

We had our wedding here and it was absolutely perfect!!! Kasey was amazing to work with and she coordinated the day and our vendors perfectly! The reception space was set up exactly how I had envisioned. The food and drinks were fabulous! All of our guests have gone on and on about how much fun they had. The vendors we hired from the preferred vendor list were excellent (DJ and florist). I would recommend this venue to anyone. It was the perfect combination of fun, vibrant tropical and upscale.

I highly recommend Kasey and the Margaritaville Resort in Orlando. We were a last minute cruise wedding that was cancelled and had to scramble to find a place for our wedding reception. Kasey was prompt and very helpful with planning and made sure everything was taken care of. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely beautiful resort with so many options! I could not have imagined my wedding anywhere else!! It was beautiful!! The property is also so stunning for pictures everywhere!! Our dinner was inside euphoria! We originally were going to be outside on the balcony.. but weather was a little chilly and Kasey just instantly helped me out and gave us a private spot inside! Our wedding was only us and 9 guests, but when I entered the restaurant the whole place was cheering!! The staff.. the kitchen.. even the band!! They were hands down the best!! Couldn’t be happier!!!! Thank you so so so much!! Memory of a lifetime!! We will be back!!

Due to covid and travel restrictions, we changed our wedding from an international travel destination to a state side travel destination 5 weeks before our wedding date. We dove in blind and only relied on pictures and reviews and we are so thankful we did. We planned everything virtually and Kasey made it extremely easy with FaceTime calls and walk thru’s. The resort was everything and more! Our group of 70 was able to easily book a room or cottage how they wanted. Several had many favorite staff by the end of the trip. From hiring vendors to the in house staff everything was more than we imagined.

Margaritaville Resort Orlando is the most amazing wedding venue! My fiancé and I got married here on January 23, 2021. We fell in love with this venue right away, as soon as you step into Margaritaville you are transported to paradise, The smell of Mother Ocean is sprayed in the lobby, the margarita glasses hanging from the ceiling producing light, and the amazing beach like atmosphere is breathtaking. We worked with Kasey who is a dream and was there every step of the way, I couldn't have asked for a better planner to help me make this day more magical. My wedding photographer was able to take effortlessly beautiful photos because the property is so gorgeous. I would defiantly recommend looking into this venue before making any decisions. We love Margaritaville Resort Orlando !!!

Our wedding at Margaritaville Resort Orlando was beyond our wildest dreams!!! Kasey was such an incredible coordinator, she always made us feel like a top priority and answered all of our questions, no matter how small! The event staff also did such an incredible job making sure our wedding went off without a hitch. I would recommend this venue to ANYONE looking to have a fun, safe, atmosphere. Even with COVID-19 happening, MRO was careful to follow all guidelines put in place and thanks to them we were able to have the wedding of our dreams! Thank you for everything!!

Margaritaville is an extremely beautiful location and was always our first choice for our wedding venue. What put this venue over the top includes the affordability, prompt feedback and service. Kasey is able to accommodate any request you may have. I recommend this venue to any newly engaged couple who likes the tropical feel, amazing menu choices and open bar. Kasey is able to make planning a wedding feel easy and assuring. We highly recommend this venue!

My wedding was a dream come true! Not only is the resort beautiful, but Kasey is a wedding rockstar! She helped plan our wedding in two months during a pandemic. It ended up raining on the day of our wedding, but Kasey thought of a creative way to keep my ceremony outdoors and covered. The pictures were amazing! During the reception, the staff was so attentive and helpful. They even took good care of us at the pool the following day! We truly had the best experience at Margaritaville! I will be recommending this venue to all of my friends!

This resort truly saved the day for my couple! They had been displaced by a venue closing and then with their venue not being reopened after the covid shut down. Not only did the resort save the day and give them a spectacular location, but matched their original pricing. The best part, this resort was much more my couples style. It was just perfect for them. They had an amazing day and everything was just perfect!!

We are so happy we chose to get married at Margaritaville Resort Orlando. It is a beautiful place and the staff are top notch. We were assigned a wedding planner (Kasey Bussell) who helped with everything. I kind of expected the planner Margaritaville assigned for us to limit help to just resort related items, but she guided me through all of the steps for the big day (she suggested DJ's, helped us pick our officiant, get our marriage license, among several other things!). A handful of our guests have special dietary needs and Kasey and the chef had everything handled. The plates all looked beautiful and tasted just as good as they looked. Of course Covid changed our wedding but Kasey was in constant communication with us. Sometimes it was even multiple times in a week! We ended up having a much smaller wedding than first planned and Margaritaville Resort Orlando was very accommodating throughout the entire experience. Everyone who joined us stayed at the resort and they also enjoyed every moment of it! We spent a lot of time at the pool. The pool staff were so friendly and we loved our pool side cabanas! It was truly an amazing experience and now we are looking forward to renewing our vows at the wedding we originally planned (next year at Margaritaville Resort Orlando of course)!

The resort is absolutely beautiful with the Key West vibe. The staff is amazing and extremely accommodating. We just attended the Grand Tasting Event, which is included in the contract, to sample the various hors d'oeuvres and entrees. We felt extremely pampered! There was attention to presentation of each dish, and the selections were delicious. We cannot wait until our April wedding.

My wedding was beautiful. Thankful to Kasey and her team for taking care of every detail. The food was delicious, my appreciation to the kitchen staff and the waiters so helpful and friendly. The pastry, Catharina, very creative, thanks for my cake. Everyone loved the bartender, Christian, for his good humor and careful attention. We are very pleased. thanks everyone!

We held our wedding on Feb 22, 2020 at Margaritaville Resort Orlando. This ended up being the perfect place for a wedding. The wedding was held on the event lawn with the cocktail hour outdoors. The weather was beautiful and the wedding was at 5:00 so we got amazing sunset pictures. The reception was held indoors in the Rose Compass Ballroom. We had Surf and Turf that was absolutely delicious, the guests raved about the food and service. It is hard to get the meals all perfect for a party of 110 but they managed to do that. What is really great about this place is most of the guests stayed in the cottages on the property so when all festivities were over they could just walk back to their cottage or hotel room. We also held the rehearsal dinner. I would highly recommend this place for all events. As an added bonus it is about 2 miles to the Animal Kingdom. Most of the guests that came to the wedding also enjoyed a day or two at Disney!

Margaritaville was the most incredible place for us to get married! Trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was not easy. 35 days before our wedding day, our other venue fell through. In those 35 days, Kasey and the whole staff were nothing but incredible! They did anything and everything we needed before and while we were there. The location was stunning and everything was perfect. Absolutely get married here!

We had our wedding here in October of 2019. We were one of the first weddings to take place at the resort and everything was great! Our planner Sonja was always on top of everything and always made sure every detail was taken care of! Definitely a great spot if you are looking for that key west vibe.
