Holiday Inn & Suites Harbourside

made. Our guests loved the food and the venue, as well as their guest rooms! She even offered to pick up the grooms tuxedo for us during a last minute crisis. We will definitely use this venue again when it’s our sons turn to get married!

ay before the wedding she was there helping us and making sure the other vendors were doing what needed to be done! If you want a stress free wedding reception then Barney and the Holiday Inn Harbour side is where you should be!

gs from the east coast of FL. She helped us create a room block and our reception at the Hemingway Room. We met at the reception room before the wedding. When we met, I instantly felt comfortable and like family! She really wants you to have the perfect day and even went out of her way to get last minute things together for us. The hotel staff and staff at Jimmy Guana’s were all so wonderful. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was! Everyone loved their rooms and the entire hotel! Our room especially was great for my bridal party to get ready in. I can’t thank Barney enough. Absolutely amazing to work with!!! We will be back to visit again!!

l things to say about the hotel: from the clean and spacious rooms, to the wonderful open “Key West” design of the hotel, it’s no wonder that they were completely booked the weekend of our wedding (with 3 wedding receptions and a class reunion in addition to some of our wedding guests!). I also used one of the suites as my “getting ready suite” with my bridal party, and my new husband and I spent our wedding night at the hotel: both suites were the same design, two floors, and beautiful. I only wished we could have stayed longer. If you’re planning to visit the area beaches, don’t hesitate with the fact that this hotel is on the Intercoastal side of the map: Indian Rocks Beach is a quick walk away. This is a very well-kept and convenient property.

the reception.

budget. She was willing to work with us and was very friendly. We met several times to go over details and taste the food. The hotel allowed us the use of square table mirrors, fishbowls, vases, white table linens. It was very helpful (and money saving)to have these options available for use. I took advantage of the linens and mirrors for my decorations. The food we chose was Mahi-Mahi and Chicken marsala. It was very good and I recommend getting a dinner package which was much better value for the price. The only thing that was a little bummer was that the food service during the reception seemed very slow. Other than that the wait staff was very friendly. I was also given a condo villa one night (included in price). I then added on a few nights before the wedding for me and a couple of my bridesmaids to stay at to relax and enjoy some girl time. The hotel was very accommodating during that time and I had a wonderful reception. I wouldn't have changed a thing. I had so much fun and so did my guests =D.

staff could not have been any better! All hotels should train their staff half as well as they are!!!

groom to be able to visit with everyone. plus it extended the party through out the weekend. there is a nice bar and grill on site plus a resturant, mini golf and the hotel is an open concept so you feel like your outside while just walking from room to room. Both families loved the place. and it was walking distance to the beach without the added price of being on a beach.

to work with. She always responded quickly with any/all questions I had. We had a beautiful wedding. The one issue we had is that some people didn't get the group rate for being wedding guests when they made their reservations. Staff always corrected this without issues. Just make sure that guests call the hotel itself and not the Holiday Inn Reservation Line.

oriented. The food was delicious and was actually hot when served to my guests. The site is perfect for a getaway for family and friends and has all of the amenities you would want. All of my guests loved the rooms and they gave us good rates.

eel as special or remembered. Overall, it was very reasonable and wouldn't have gone anywhere else.

fy. We also had an issue with our bride and groom suite the night prior to the wedding. They did comp our room and moved us the next morning though. With the exception of this the reception staff and event coordinator were amazing. Adam and Elizabeth ROCKED IT. We had such a positive experience.Would choose them again in a heartbeat!

eception room the afternoon before! Staff at the reception was very nice and attentive. I would highly, highly recommend!

ry well.;If you are having your ceremony directly on the beach make sure you understand this recpetion area is not DIRECTLY on the beach..it is very close and we didnt have any problems with transporting guests to and from...just something to keep in mind for planning :)
