  My daughter and son-in-law had their wedding reception at The Landing 2 months ago. I wasn’t going to write a review, but after this long it is still bothering me, so I feel I must follow my heart. The facility was beautiful for a wedding. The caterers and the wedding planning staff were great during the planning process. The food was delicious! However, this is where the positives end. We did not find out until after the hosted bar ended that the remainder of the evening was a cash bar. I always thought “cash bar” meant that the wedding guests were just required to pay for their drinks…not that they literally needed “CASH” only to buy the extremely over-priced drinks. This was very frustrating to many guests, and they ended up leaving early because of it. Then around 8 PM the music and dancing started. It was shortly after an hour after that the Wayzata police showed up as there were noise complaints from residents across the street. In my opinion, The Landing should not be able to rent out their facility for anything with a music venue as we were told “this happens all the time”. We didn’t appreciate it happening to our daughter and son-in-law, and on our dime. It is extremely disconcerting to have police officers walking around your wedding reception…this happened twice in the evening. It is now midnight, and we were told that everyone needed to leave the reception area as it was being locked up. The hotel bar was already closed so the wedding party had nowhere else to go, so they decided to move to the Presidential Suite where the bride and groom were staying. They had just gotten there when they received a nasty call from the front desk that they were being too loud- as defined by a disgruntled non-wedding guest from across the hall. My room was just down the hall, and the only thing I heard was some appropriate wedding laughter in the hallway as they made their way to the Suite. This lasted about 3 minutes. Subsequently, they were not being loud, and the music was on very low. However, the front desk complained twice more about the noise and started becoming very rude about it -even threatening to “kick them out”. This begs the question of if we rented a block of rooms for our wedding guests- why was there a non-guest put right across the hall? He should not have been there in the first place and the front desk should have offered to move him. I think we paid a lot more to be at the hotel for the evening than he did. The wedding party attempted to remedy the situation calmly and respectfully but were met with complete resistance and annoyed and unprofessional front desk staff. After about 30 minutes of this, everyone went to their own rooms and the bride and groom were left sitting quietly on the couch looking very dejected and disappointed in how “their day” ended. You won Landing- but look at what you did. In summary, the entire reception was tainted by all of these events, and we will never return to The Landing again as this has left a very “bad taste in our mouths”. We certainly didn’t get our money’s worth and would not recommend anyone having an evening party/reception there with any music/dancing…unless you are a glutton for punishment.

  We were greeted by friendly staff. The hotel is new and in a unique location with good food and drinks within walking distance. The rooms are clean, quiet and modern. Bed was very comfortable. Large TV and bathroom with a great shower. Lacking a sundries shop but close to a Walgreens. Great place to stay in Wayzata!
