Where to begin? The BEST of the best! Stop looking at other venues right now, because Holiday Inn City Centre has it ALL.
I am originally from the Sioux Falls area, but am currently living in Michigan. So, as if planning a ‘destination wedding’ at baseline doesn’t have its own stressors and obstacles, then add 2020; a learning curve for everyone. Let me tell you, never did I ever feel like I wasn’t a priority and that everything was going to be okay - it was beyond okay, it was PERFECT! From quick email responses, to zoom meetings “just to make sure we’re all good”, to personally working with our schedule to schedule a private tasting since we were unable to attend their Wedding Showcase, I always felt taken care of. PS: we LOVED the food and received so many compliments about how great it was!
Let’s keep going. Think you need a wedding planner? Done. They are the wedding planner! They are here for you every. step. of. the. way! Although my ceremony was at a church, they do everything from start to finish. They offer rehearsal dinner options to day after opening gifts and brunch. They have a full service bar, all the social hour goodies you can think of, and even late night snacks you know you don’t need but eat them anyway. They SET UP AND TEAR DOWN EVERYTHING, because no one, including your parents, your grandma, and especially the bride wants to be doing that after the final song of the night!
Decorations got you stressed? Take a deep breath, also taken care of! They have so many beautiful centerpieces you can choose from, some you can rent for a reasonable price and some are FREE to use - all clear, glass vases/votives are COMPLIMENTARY, and you can either supply or buy the candles from Holiday Inn City Centre. They set up the head table, they have back drop options, they have all the linen colors you can think of, some also complimentary, they have chair covers, and even offer uplighting packages.
Don’t want to travel to get your hair done at the salon? If there is ever a time when TIME is the most valuable thing - it’s your wedding day! Holiday Inn City Center offers bridal suites for you and your entire tribe to get ready in. Your glam squad can come to YOU - it’s your day and it’s truly all about you (and the groom 😘)! Eating was the last thing I was thinking about while getting my hair and makeup done, but when you have catering available and have Holiday Inn City Centre staff bringing you juice, water, coffee, MIMOSAS, pastries, fresh fruit, a sandwich platter, and chips - you can rest assured your bridal party is taken care of and that’s also one less thing anyone else has to worry about.
Guests traveling from out of town? They offer suites with amazing views and all the natural light you could ever need. And after the dance, if you’re not quite ready to stop celebrating you can hit up any of the downtown bars all within walking distance of the hotel. Or, if you’re ready to reminisce on the day with your other half, you can simply walk back to your room and relax in your COMPLIMENTARY KING SIZE BED!
AGAIN, I cannot thank APRIL and ALL the staff at Holiday Inn City Centre enough for ensuring that our wedding day was not only the BEST DAY, but that it was also the most seamless and stress free day! If you don’t believe me that that is a real, possible feeling, then book Holiday Inn City Centre and find out for yourself!
