“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.

“From the moment we started working with their team, the communication was easy and they were incredibly organized in helping us plan our rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch. The food at both events was absolutely delicious - our guests were shocked at how great it tasted! The historic space was beautiful and provided a wonderful backdrop for our celebrations, especially with the bridal suite being the Norman Rockwell Suite. The Nassau Inn was a great value and really helped make this busy weekend run smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend them to any couple getting married in Princeton.”
