The venue itself was perfect — modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed to accommodate every part of our day. The ballroom created an elegant backdrop for our ceremony and reception Everything flowed seamlessly, thanks to the staff’s impeccable coordination and attention to detail.
What truly set this venue apart was the service. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless.

edding! The Great Lakes Ballroom is a huge room that you can really make your own! They kept telling us “anything is possible” and truly it showed! I can’t recommend this space enough!

ing above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The planning process was a breeze, thanks to Alyssa and her professional and attentive team who made sure every detail was perfect.
On the big day, everything exceeded our expectations. Unlike many other venues- we had access to our ballroom and get ready rooms from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. I cannot express how affordable and reasonable the pricing is for everything. The entire weekend the service was impeccable, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, and the experience overall. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. We would choose the Holiday Inn again and again!

thing went well. We especially appreciated Manny. Not sure what his title is there but he made himself available to us for whatever we needed and went above and beyond to help wherever he could, which was extremely nice, especially the morning after when he had done a lot to make our exit way easier than I had anticipated!
We just had our reception here last Saturday and to say we are happy is an understatement. We recieved compliments on the space, food and service! We were blown away with the kindn...

e space into a beautiful wedding! The sales manager Alyssa was our coordinator throughout the entire planning process and she is absolutely amazing! So helpful! Jessica was our day of “coordinator”, and she was also so helpful and kind! Highly recommend, 10/10, I would have my wedding here again (although I hope I don’t have to get married again🤞🏻).
Things went perfectly!
Our wedding was PERFECT! From the very start, the Holiday Inn worked with us to make sure we did not have to stress about anything. We worked with Kirsten leading up to the day and...
she was wonderful. She worked with us to get everything we wanted and needed. We had asked if we could get into the space the night before and, since there was not another event, she made sure it happened. She made great suggestions when we asked. We had a wedding of around 250 people and the food was great (we got the country fried chicken) It tasted as good on our wedding as it did the day we had a taste test (Kirsten suggested we try at our tasting and we are glad she did!). The chef did a great job with the food and the staff got it out quickly for our guests to enjoy. We did late night snacks and they came out on time and were very tasty. It was also perfect to have the hotel right there so our guests could enjoy themselves without having to worry about who was going to drive them home. The amenities that they give you with your wedding made the Holiday Inn a no-brainer. We got a room to stay in, complimentary breakfast, a deal on hotel rooms for our guests, a free room for our grooms dinner, and a room for to use as storage that we used as a kid room during the wedding. You will not regret having your wedding at the Holiday Inn and Suites in Duluth!

ms for guests to stay in. All guest rooms and also all gathering spaces have been recently remodeled at the beginning of 2014 - so the spaces were beautiful and guest rooms are clean and updated. Very easy for guests to get to other area attractions as well.
Kirsten was great to work with - she was great. Had a great knowledge of time tables and also food and drink needs. Brandon was there the entire day of the wedding, through the end of the reception was the best! The staff was awesome and all of the meals came out perfectly. Kept a great schedule and checked in with my parents multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly. We were in great hands and had such a wonderful night and experience!
