The Omni Homestead Resort

Definitely a dream venue and the staff were amazing to work with! I feel like the Homestead always goes above and beyond for their guests (especially when you are a bride and groom!).

Our wedding at the Omni Homestead was everything I dreamed my wedding would be since being a little girl! Everything from the service, the cuisine, and the ambiance was perfect for my vision of a Southern Elegant Wedding. Cali and Rachel with the Homestead staff were amazing through the booking process and organization the day of the wedding. This venue provided everything I could ever have wanted in a wedding venue. If you are able to book your wedding at the Homestead, I say go for it! You will not be disappointed.

Cali Baskin (the wedding coordinater) and the Omni Homestead did a fabulous job at our wedding on 12/2/2017. The wedding venue was magical and Homestead Team came together to pull off an amazing evening!! Can not recommend highly enough- Dreams came true! Boodie M

The weekend was AMAZING and we LOVED having our wedding here, but nothing here comes without an escalated price. We had 140 guests, mostly in 20s-30s and out parents and their close friends and family. We had our rehearsal dinner with all our guests at Garth Newel Music Hall 4 miles down the road and also did a Farewell Brunch on Sunday at The Homestead. Cons: We had a difficulty getting to an agreed room rate and we could only add to the room block once – be aware of this. The staff also charges to give out Welcome Bags at the front desk, which I thought was ridiculous. Additional guests per room were $25/ea and parking $10/day was not waived; I have worked in a high-end resort before and would always waive parking. Also, 23% resort fee and 9% tax on EVERYTHING; including the down payment for the ballroom (which does not go toward Food & Bev) making an upwards payment of a few thousand dollars more than you were expecting. We were a rowdy group but several people told me the bartenders at the weddings were mutes, didn’t give options or suggestions just pointed to what they had. The bar at the reception also ran out of vodka, which is ridiculous for what we paid. My parents only drink beer and by the end of the evening they were out of beer, no refunds or compensation of any sort. After the reception, The Jefferson Bar refused to play music at the bar, which I did not understand. We brought our sound system down and they didn’t make us turn it off which was nice. We went to our suite when the bar closed around 1AM. I understand it was really late and we were loud but the security guard threatened to evict us and call the sheriff. I know there were other guests staying nearby but it just put a huge damper on the end of an awesome night the way the guards went about it. The best man tried to diffuse the guards aggressive attitude telling him, "there is a way to go about this and there is a way not to, please let me handle it" and the guard was a huge ass (for lack of better words). I know we were loud, but it was our wedding night! Pros: TAYLOR UNDERWOOD, WEDDING COORDINATOR WAS AMAZING. Taylor took care of vendor recommendations, all the details, and I had A LOT of details. She went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect. I mean this girl would get back to my emails ASAP, gave us a room to make welcome bags in, comped wine and cheese the arrival night, held a ton of decorations for us, listened to every detail and set it up EXACTLY how I wanted. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Taylor. For example, at one point someone spilt a drink and SHE rushed over and cleaned it up in 5 seconds, hello where is the janitor??The Homestead takes care of everything onsite; linens, rooms, catering, setup, cleanup, coordinator which is SUPER HELPFUL. I have other friends who are brides having weddings at vineyards and halls where they had to bring in so many more vendors than I did. It was a more expensive weekend for our guests but they LOVED it. I had so many people tell me it was one of the best weddings they had been to and how much they enjoyed their weekend and the resort. Despite all the cons I would do it all over at The Homestead. The resort is beautiful and overall the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
