The Wonderful Wave Resort
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Mark Leggieri, who was absolutely instrumental in making our wedding day an unforgettable experience! From the moment we first met, he exhibited an incredible level of professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm for helping us navigate the wedding journey. We selected the Wave Resort as our wedding venue because of Mark Leggieri and we are so glad we did!! The ENTIRE experience was a dream come true and we could not have asked for more. From beginning to end the experience was phenomenal. The view is stunning, the hotel is luxurious, the food is impeccable, and the wedding team is amazing. If you’re looking for a team that combines expertise with an exceptional ability to make you feel supported and valued, the Wave Resort is your venue. We are so grateful for everything they did and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone in need of a wedding venue. We cannot thank Mark, Allison, Tyra, Kevin, Malick, Kate, Stephani and Edwin enough! You all made our dreams come true. Thank you! 3
