We got married on 08/31/19 at the Holiday Inn Downtown. Shannon was amazing to work with. We worked with Shannon for about a year while we were planning our wedding and she was so ...
helpful throughout the entire process. She gave so many great recommendations and was so helpful every time we had questions. She answered emails so quickly, even late evenings and weekends. Shannon was so organized and really helped make our vision come to reality. On our wedding day, Shannon and her staff were amazing to work with and made everything easy for us. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner and venue. We are so happy that we worked with Shannon and the Holiday Inn. We have received so many great compliments on the food, venue, staff and amazing views from the tent. We would recommend Shannon and the Holiday Inn to anyone!
Shannon and her team did an amazing job with helping us. They were attentive, quick on responses and very detailed. They even mailed us some personal items that we had forgotten af...

I highly recommend having any event here!
Holiday Inn Downtown was by far the best option for us in so many ways - price, quality, convenience and customer service. We wanted everything in 1 place, ceremony, reception and ...
hotel rooms, and it was all perfect. Food was great, but the best part is Shannon Flanagan Eller. She answered all of my MANY questions and emails immediately and was so easy going, and took care of all the crazy details of timeline and setting things up. So much was taken off my shoulders and I am so grateful!! Everyone raved about the food, service, ballroom and decor.
Everyone was so nice and helpful before during and after the wedding!
AMAZING!! Toni was so great with us and our wedding plans! Our wedding was absolutely amazing and perfect! We got married on 9/19/2015 and to this day everyone is still talking abo...
ut how beautiful our wedding was. Her staff was incredible and she was great to work with. She did everything in her power to ensure that our wedding was everything we had hoped for. When they opened up the ballroom doors, my jaw dropped and I was in tears!! Thank you for the best wedding ever, I want to go back!
The Carering and Wedding Sales Manager, Toni, was great to work with since day 1. She's easy to work with, great at responding, and just makes that aspect of the planning process s...
tress free!
Overall, our event was great! We were happy that we chose the Holiday Inn Downtown for our venue. The service staff at the reception was great, the food was good, the rooms were offered at a reasonable rate, etc.
Our disappointments were:
1) The banquet room and the cocktail room were not set up exactly as instructed. It was close/ok, but not exactly what we hoped for. Details are important when it comes to wedding!
2) When our centerpieces were taken down at the end of the night they were poorly placed in provided containers, resulting in damaged centerpieces.
3) The food was good, except for the appetizer salad.
4) The evening banquet manager tried to close the bar before the scheduled time, but they did end up resolving it.
We would still recommend this venue to others, but would recommend that all instructions are written out, explained, and doubled checked.
We had an amazing experience with the Rochester plaza hotel for our wedding. Austyn Simmons was our wedding coordinator and she was great! Russel was in charge of the wedding deta...
iling. On the drop off day, he was waiting outside for me with a cart to help bring everything in. He was on the ball and made me feel very calm and confident that my reception was going to be perfect. Our reception was beautiful. It was everything that I dreamed it would be. The decor was perfect and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. The food was great! The cost was very reasonable, and the service was over the top. My husband and I could not have wished for a better experience. The plaza made our wedding day a very memorable one. I would recommend them anytime! Thank you!!
The plaza was the perfect place to have our wedding. We used the outdoor tent and it had a beautiful view of the Genesee river. The staff was very accommodating and Bunny was the...
best wedding planner I could have asked for. She always responded to my questions within hours and made sure everything was the way we wanted it. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because there was one serious mix up at the reception - one of the staff members accidentally switched the table numbers which put my parents in a back corner. Bunny was very upset about it but unfortunately the young lady that made the mistake thought it was kind of funny.
The staff at the plaza were fantastic to work with. Their prices were reasonable and was all inclusive, even the cake, for 220a people!
From start to finish our experience was amazing. Colleen was flexible and willing to let us have everything we wanted at our reception. We brought in chair covers, a candy table,...
a photobooth, abbotts icecream and shew worked with each of those vendors on arrangements which made my life a lot easier. The day of our drop off Melanie and Russell were waiting outside with carts to meet us and they took the time to let me explain everything I was nervous about. Melanie and Russell did an amazing job the day of the wedding to make sure everything was perfect as well. The hotel rooms were reasonable and clean and the bridal suite was very nice. The food was very good and they served very quickly so we could get to the party!
we were able to have the wedding of our dreams and everything went well and all were pleased and happy with everything the plaza had and has to offer!
