Holiday Inn Sioux Falls-City Centre

you envision for your special day! You will not be disappointed with them! I would recommend them to anybody in the Sioux Falls or surrounding areas.

hold of and willing to be flexible with our requests. Our guests raved about the food and we loved the convenience of doing all parts of the day in the hotel. Our total costs included purchase of 5 kegs and food for ~245 people, and we found it very reasonable given all that was provided!

to Ramiro and his banquet staff who we couldn’t have done this day without! From the rehearsal, to the reception, to the gift opening, they did it all! We could not be more blessed with how smooth everything went! Their adjoining hotel suites were perfect for getting ready. Tons of space, natural light, bathrooms, and tables for hair/makeup to set up. Our family and friends enjoyed their stay at the hotel, as well! They followed our requests to a tea for decorating. You bring in your ideas, collaborate, and they execute them! We brought in our own candles for the glassware, but other than that, there was nothing else we were required to provide. I cannot emphasize how little stress I had because they just did SO much for us. It was so great to be able to just peek in and see the room and not have to worry about spending an extra day decorating or setting up chairs. They also take everything down and provide a room for the bride and groom, so after the party was over, we could just relax! The food was absolutely delicious, and it was prepared beautifully. Everything looked amazing and our guests loved it all! At first I was very hesitant to have a reception at a hotel venue because I was nervous about the price and style, but with the amount of work they did and how beautiful it turned out, it was quite reasonable and “in line” with many other vendors that make you do all the work. I cannot say enough great things about this venue! We are so grateful to everyone there and truly believe without them our day would not have been near as perfect! I cannot even think of a single complaint regarding this venue!

nd always made sure we were taken care of! I highly recommend having your wedding event at the Holiday Inn!

g evening - we could not have asked for more! The staff were polite, efficient & organized! We highly recommend Holiday Inn Sioux Falls-City Centre for your events! Also - Patty is the best coordinator to work with! She made the process less stressful & so much FUN!

the hotel was able to accommodate everyone with no problem! Most were able to do early check in (since a lot of them arrived a little before check in time) even though they were fully booked the night before. The rooms were beautiful and very clean and comfortable. The hotel itself was very spacious and accommodating for us to all visit together in common areas the night before. As for the events staff; if I could rate them with more than 5 stars I would!! Patty was so sweet and amazing to help us plan the wedding of our dreams. She had prompt communication and was willing to find ways to accommodate all of our requests. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! The day of staff that set up our ballroom and decorations beyond exceeded my expectations. The starlite ballroom is so beautiful and the team got every detail in place as if I had done it myself. All of the servers, bartenders, and event staff that worked our event made sure everything ran smoothly and were so professional. Unfortunately, I do not know the bartenders name but she blew our guests out of the water! We had so many people that talked about how great she was and how good her drinks were. I rented a king suite for the night before and night of so I had a place for my bridal party and myself to get ready. I had no idea how big the room was going to be. We had 3 make up artists and hairstylists, a bridal party of 7, and many family and friends in and out all day. It never once felt cramped! Thank you so much Holiday Inn City Centre for making our wedding weekend absolutely perfect!

ding day I kept being told how calm and collective I was, but I truly believe it was because I was in such good hands. Patty and her staff took care of coordinating, organizing, decorating, and cleaning up everything for our reception. We were able to enjoy the night without worrying about the aftermath. I will never stop recommending this venue! They really are the best!

ight Ballroom looked when we walked in, and the setup team carried out my vision perfectly. Patty and the entire team of servers and bartenders were excellent.

loor. The whole experience, from selecting a date and touring the venue to the reception itself, was amazing! The food was great and having everything including our rehearsal dinner and getting ready at the hotel made it so easy for my family and friends. I have absolutely no complaints and would have our reception there again in a heartbeat.

ve what I do, not for the money. You can tell Patty loves what she does and doesn't just want your money. The staff did a great job on my wedding day setting up and catering to my 320 guest. The food was also amazing and friendly bartenders! You will not regret your choice! I wish I could have another reception b/c it was so easy to plan with Patty!

organized. We emailed, called, and met with Patty a few different times to help prepare for our event. She truly made our day stress free! She brought our ideas to life. Her team did amazing setting up & taking down our reception venue. I highly recommend using the Holiday Inn for your special day!

ed make our wedding day one of the best days ever. Knowing that all the setup and tear down of our reception was taken care of by the staff was a huge stress relief, knowing that the burden was not placed on our families and friends. The ballroom looked absolutely breathtaking and the food was absolutely incredible! I have and will continue to recommend the Holiday Inn City Centre to any and all looking for recommendations!!

- you should choose this venue, no questions asked. My husband & I were lucky enough to work with Patty throughout our wedding planning process. She always put us at ease, told us to call/email her any time (& would actually respond quickly - compared to other vendors) and was respectful of anything we asked/brought up regarding our ideas for our wedding. We felt like she truly cared about us & our love for one another - not just getting the sale & being 'done' with it. We actually ended up doing our entire wedding ceremony & reception in the starlight room, up on the 8th floor, (if you haven't ever checked it out, you MUST - it is stunning!) & once we laid out all of our 'ideas' - we were told to just show up on our wedding day & it will be done! (I will admit that we were a little nervous to just 'show up' - however, once we walked in, literally every little detail exceeded ALL of our expectations we had ever imagine). You will have to worry about NOTHING - they take care of it all. We will forever be grateful for the Holiday Inn, Patty & all of the banquet staff/servers for making our wedding dreams come to life. If we were to do it all over again, we would choose the Holiday Inn time & time again.

ble. She was so attentive to all of my needs, responded back to every email or call almost immediately, even when she was on vacation she made sure to let me know what was going on. She went out of her way to accommodate all of my needs and make sure I got everything I needed and or wanted. She never passed judgement on my multitude of questions or what ifs, or my excessive lists and planning forms. She was so positive and encouraging and I honestly could not have made it through this wedding without her help. Even amongst Covid and all of it's crazy curve balls Patty was there to make sure my day was spectacular. Her and her team made my vision come to life and then some. Everything at their location was absolutely beautiful and executed perfectly! I can not recommend her enough for any event that you would need!!

detail of the venue and everything they had to offer.

helped us out with her suggestions when we needed it. Truly top notch staff and an exceptional experience.

tly 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!

our ceremony from our church to the hotel. No detail was over looked, and they always ensured it was what my vision. Anything we asked they could make happen, and everyone was so pleasant to work with, including other hotel staff over the weekend. The space looked absolutely beautiful. Just seeing it for the first time before pictures made me want to cry. It was a beautiful, magical day for me and my husband, so thank you so much for helping to make it happen 😊

mmend it! Everybody in the sales team is super nice and helpful throughout the whole process. The service we received was exceptional! I had so many great compliments about how the reception looked. It will always be an unforgettable experience!

the holiday inn as well. They provided all of the decorations, set up the venue exactly as I planned, and even cleaned up the venue when we were done! The staff was so excited to have our reception and it was so fun working with everyone. My husband and I got married in June in the midst of all of the chaos in the world and the holiday inn ensured us that they would put in 100% effort to make our day as special and safe as they can. It was reassuring having someone in our corner to help us with everything. Our reception was amazing! We had the most elegant and delicious food and every request was completed right away. They even had employees coming in and out of the reception cleaning and restocking food and beverages. Another bonus was we got a suite for the night, free buffet cards for breakfast the next morning, and we got a conference room supplied with drinks for gift opening the next day. All of the decorations that we brought were put neatly on a card that we could roll out to our car for easy cleanup. There is no other venue that can do with the holiday inn did for us at such an amazing and affordable price. I would 100/10 recommend holiday Inn for anyone’s events!

oom looked! The staff was all amazing to work with too! Kate made our wedding day completely stress free! Her team made sure our vision was portrayed exactly how we wanted it. Kate was very helpful, organized, and communicated quickly when we had questions/concerns. A huge bonus is that the HICC staff set up and tore down EVERYTHING! When the dance was over, everyone was able to go to bed and didn't have to worry about cleaning up.

organized, communication was so easy, and everyone is so passionate about making your day how you always dreamed it to be! Our day was simply perfect.

with her responses. Would definitely recommend!

ays followed up in a timely fashion. Our guests loved the food and ambiance. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for your reception.

ng was exactly how we wanted it. All night we felt like we were getting the royal treatment, her team was so responsive and quick to make sure everything was perfect. On top of that they were all so professional and exceptionally kind which made for an absolutely perfect night and overall amazing day!

make our day everything we could have dreamed of. The crew the week and day of were also exceptional. We were able to get in to the room early to do some setting up and the crew was always available for any questions or requests. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least, if there was one, we didn't know about it!) We truly felt as though we were their only priority that day. They provided a room for the guys to get ready in, provided a complimentary gift opening room, and always made whatever request we had, happen! I would highly recommend the Holiday Inn City Centre for all of your wedding venue needs!

through every step and decision if needed. She's also so kind and fun! Very convenient having ballroom decor, catering, and lodging (plus more services) all in one place. Staff in every department is polite and professional. Couldn't be better, wonderful experience overall!

elp! HICC had amazing food and kept us informed every step of the way! We ran into a big bump of the hotel being completely booked and April worked hard to make sure my guests were accommodated and everyone who wanted a room was able to get one. HICC does all of the decorating if you choose to have them do so and they did an absolutely amazing job! I provided a few ideas of what I wanted and it was better than I could have imagined. I have heard lots of positive reviews on the food and we had a hard time choosing meals because everything we tried was great! HICC worked well with my florist, Josephine's and with my DJ, Jason Yashino of Energy Event Group and my photographer Allana Rogge with Studiofotografie. It is amazing how everything fell into place.

and cocktail hour as long as we told them where to put everything. This was a huge help for us, especially since I wanted to spend a lot of my time in town with my family. They gave my husband and I a suite the night of our wedding…for free. They did so much to accommodate my family and it was amazing. We had a plated meal for our reception and even if some things did go wrong, I didn't know about any of it. Even though our wedding party got upstairs about an hour late, which caused the food to come out an hour later, everything went so smoothly. Also, they offered us a room to open gifts in the next morning, although we decided to just open them in our own suite. Overall, this place was AMAZING and helped us out in so many different ways. THANK YOU HOLIDAY INN CITY CENTRE!

ndy per plate.

through the planning process and the night of. They provided almost all of the centerpiece glassware and set it all up for us so we didn't have to be there to help set up the weekend of the wedding. The in-house catering was great, with lots of really great options, and the food we picked was delicious! In the rental cost for the reception space, they also threw in a hotel room for my husband and myself, so that was a nice bonus, and a little cost saving also! The Holiday Inn provided the perfect end to the perfect day!

ing I wanted even a couple days before the wedding they were able to change things.
