If I could I would leave 0 stars. Do not have any trust to handle the biggest day of our lives!
My Fiance and I had scheduled a tour of this venue for our wedding reception we dr...
ove an hour the first time just to get there to meet with Katie on it and then we get there and find out Katie is at another event off site and the other person had something come up land was not there the front desk attendant got stuck showing us the venue and could not answer any questions at all really on it.
WE had scheduled another day about a week and a half later to re tour it and Katie once again was not there and at another event this time the General Manager LYnn showed us the place and was able to answer questions and soothed over the damages from the last time with Katie and no one being there and said he would remain on top of her and that she would reach out the next day or so. Well she never did and I called them again and was told she was out of the office for last minute sports event she had gotten tickets to and had emailed with a specific date in mind to book, and Lynn had told me that she would call me first thing in the morning. That call never came So I called again and asked for Lynn. I called again early afternoon on the day Lynn had said she would of called me and asked for her and got transferred to her voicemail. I called again three hours later asking for Lynn yet again and he quickly said I was on her list to be called today and she did call me about 90 minutes later.
She had no answer to all the information even after expressing my disappointment and frustration with wanting to trust them with the biggest day of our lives. She asked basic questions to get the contract written on everything and I then asked her if the date was available and that she replied with that she is unsure as she is not in that system. She said she would have the contract emailed to me in the morning at the latest for review and I verified my email and Phone number with her and I have not received that contract or any follow up at all and it is currently 8pm on a Friday night when I should of gotten everything 12 hours ago!
No trust at all and defiantly not worth risking 10 thousand dollars to have the biggest day of our lives ruined!
While the Pavillion itself was beautiful and our guests had so much fun at our wedding, it was really in spite of the horrible experience we had with this venue. It would not have ...
come together so nicely if not for the herculean efforts of my personal attendant, and our parents. To start, there was terrible communication leading up to the day with the wedding coordinator. This is going to sound extremely overdramatized, but I am actually glossing over a LOT of smaller things that happened. This coordinator took over from the last one 6 months prior to our wedding and in that time I was never, not one time, able to reach this person on the phone. Email was the only way she would ever respond and it often took a while (Sometimes weeks) to get an answer to a question. We set up a meeting with her the afternoon before our wedding and she cancelled on us with two hours notice... Through email. I am not upset at her for not feeling well, but is so wildly unprofessional that she would email so last minute and expect that to reach me in time. The morning of our wedding, no one, including the hotel staff, could locate the coordinator. There was no point person to turn to with questions, so all morning, every issue was brought to me or my step mom, causing extreme stress and anxiety. My stepmom and my personal assistant had to take over a ton of the coordination that day, up to and including shoveling snow on the pathway the wedding party needed to use to access the space just prior to the ceremony. The coordinator showed up literally 30 minutes before the ceremony started without an apology or explanation. I was ready to forgive, forget, and just move on with the day, I was so relieved to see her and hand over the reins. She told me everything was taken care of, to wait in my room and she would come get me with my dad and the photographer when the ceremony was starting. Then,I kid you not, she literally forgot to come get the bride. Not even ten minutes later I got a call from my dad telling me that our wedding party was already walking out and where was I? She was just standing by the entrance as I ran to make it to my own ceremony, and I missed getting my first look with my dad. I found out later my grandparents were told they weren't allowed to sit in the front row, NO idea why, so the entire front row was nearly empty and my grandma and grandpa had a hard time seeing the ceremony (I have no idea where she got this idea because she was certainly not involved in any aspect of our ceremony planning). I didn't see her again until just before our grand entrance. Meanwhile, I have since found out she was busy blocking our florist from accessing the reception hall to decorate until after all the tables were flipped instead of following behind them to decorate as they went, causing the schedule to run behind. I saw her briefly standing next to the door leading into the reception and clapping as the wedding party entered for dinner and no one saw her again the rest of the night. To top it all off, I called her multiple times after the wedding and left her a message to tell her i still hadn't been charged for the event or received a receipt for the night and EVEN THEN she would not call me back. After almost two weeks of trying to get ahold of someone to figure out why I hadn't actually been charged for this wedding, I had to give my card info over the phone to someone at the front desk to get this taken care of.
While our wedding day was absolutely perfect, I was a little unsatisfied with the communication leading up to the day. When we originally booked it was a different coordinator than...
who was in the position once we reached our wedding day, which made me a bit uneasy. Email responses took several days and often only answered half my questions and/or were confusing. As I said, however, the day itself was perfect. Our guests raved about how awesome the bartender was and how yummy the food was. The space was gorgeous and the room flip for reception went smoothly. Everything was also very affordable and we came in under budget after getting our final bill today.
This venue is beautiful & affordable.
Itâs super convenient having a hotel attached and itâs 5 mins away from the park reserve for photos.
Laura the coordinator is amazing and I ...
was always impressed with how quickly she responded to emails and her attention to detail.
LOVED the space! It was everything we could have imagined. The coordinator Laura was extremely responsive and flexible to make our day run smoothly.
My wedding at the Pavilion was everything I hoped for!! It's a fantastic all-in-one venue and it's totally affordable. The hotel is connected and it has great rooms and a huge poo...
l area. The restaurant is also connected and it's seriously delicious. I did my ceremony AND reception there. The room flip after the ceremony was easy and the happy hour area while that's happening is lovely. The wedding coordinator, Laura, is one of the best things about this place! She was so responsive and easy to work with. She made me feel confident and at ease. She had a quick and easy answer to all of my questions and was present on the day of the wedding to ensure things go smoothly. And let me tell you, things went perfectly!
The venue was perfect, with the hotel adjacent. The space was magical & food spectacular (had steak & salmon plus appetizers). Price was great. Wedding coordinator Laura made sure ...
every detail was taken care of & instantly responded to every email. She made our wedding perfect! Thank you so much!!!
While planning our wedding, we wanted a venue that was attached to a hotel and that wasnât outrageously expensive. The Pavilion was PERFECT for us! The events coordinator there, La...
ura, was amazing to work with. She was so on top of things and was there our day of helping us coordinate. We took our photos outside the hotel and they turned out great. We also held our rehearsal dinner there, which went smoothly! Highly recommend The Pavilion!!
LOVED this place. Great space for our budget. We fell in love with the vaulted ceiling, all the light, and the food was AMAZING. The hotel rooms are very large and spacious. Got lo...
ts of compliments from guests as far as how smoothly everything went and the chicken was tasty. The say to prepare for hiccups but Laura helped me along and was GREAT at responding to whet I felt were dumb questions, but how would I know, I was never married before..lol. So no hiccups here. Defiantly give this place a look.
Laura was absolutely incredible to work with!! She was so fast to respond and knew the answers to everything!! The venue was absolutely beautiful on the day of and everything ran s...
o smooth day of! It was so nice to have the hotel attached right to the venue too! 10/10 recommend this venue for your wedding day!!
First of all, the room here is gorgeous! The wood beams and all the windows... we absolutely loved it as soon as we saw it. And Laura was extremely helpful with getting everything ...
figured out with the pandemic going on, she was very easy to work with! We had a great time for sure!
The wedding coordinator Laura, did everything she could to make it so we could have the perfect day. She was in constant communication with me and I never had to wait long for a re...
sponse. The bartender on our wedding day was so great and went out of his way to make my guests happy. All of the staff were so pleasant to work with.
Lauren and her team we absolutely amazing! Planning a wedding is stressful enough, and layer in the uncertainties of Covid and it's enough to drive a bride crazy! Lauren was so a...
ccommodating and helpful. She answered all my questions and offered great suggestions for potential work-arounds. The ceremony/reception hall was gorgeous and everything I wanted. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
Having the hotel attached to the venue made it a one-stop weekend! My entire family stayed at the hotel and were all treated so well.
I can't say enough great things about this venue!!
We originally planned our wedding for May 2020 and were all set to go. The planning process was great - Lauren is extremely responsive and answered any question we threw at her. Th...
e venue itself is fantastic and the big windows, roof beams, and draping look great (extra decorations aren't really needed).
...Then COVID happened. Again, Lauren was great and we were able to quickly reschedule our entire event to August 2020, at the time thinking we'd surely be OK to hold our big wedding by then. About a month before our new date with cases still going up, we decided to pull the plug. Even though that was a hard decision, Lauren was a fantastic help throughout.
So in short, while we didn't actually have our wedding at the Pavilion, we would still recommend the venue. The venue itself is beautiful, reasonably priced, and Lauren and her team are extremely helpful!
I am such a type-A, controlling person, so finding the right venue for our wedding was quite the task. We did our research and toured many venues. Lauren and her team at The Pavili...
on were the only ones who had everything we needed and wanted.
After our first in-person meeting, my husband and I got in the car, he looked and me and said, âI like her. Sheâs straightforward.â He was totally right, and thatâs exactly what we needed. There were no surprises or hidden fees, etc.
Lauren was so patient with me and all of my questions. She calmed all of my worries. On the day of our wedding, I know of one âfireâ that she put out. There were probably more (things happen) that I donât even know about.
Throughout the whole process, Lauren was quick to respond to my emails. She gave us everything we needed in a very timely manner. She worked with us on special dietary needs for myself and several guests. (That was important to me.) She is phenomenal at her job.
The venue itself is beautiful. We had both our ceremony and reception here. We were able to get in early the day of the wedding and get ceremony decorations up. We also got ready on-site in the very spacious bridal suite.
We want to say thank you to Lauren, Madelon, Dawn, and everyone at The Pavilion at Lake Elmo. We had a wonderful wedding day and working with you all was so easy and painless. Thank you for making our wedding day so special and memorable.
We booked with them because we liked that everything was in one place, especially with having a winter wedding and unpredictable weather. We loved the rustic feel of the venue and ...
that it required little decorating. There are TONS of windows too, which we loved and made for some great photos. Our ceremony and reception were in the same room so we had cocktail hour between while they flipped the room. I was in there for a bit while they worked and everyone was running around like crazy and it looked perfect for the reception. You also get a free room the night of your wedding which was nice. I heard all good things about the food and the staff. The hotel is also very nice.
The getting ready situation is a little weird â they have bridal suites to rent but itâs kind of expensive for what you get, we just ended up renting a suite in the hotel so we could bring all our own food and drinks and it worked out great.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Madelon and Lauren! We are so grateful for the effort and care that they put towards our big day! They were so incredibly organized ...
and responsive to all of our needs and concerns.
We are so grateful we chose this location for our wedding reception! Not only did we get a beautiful space for a great price, but we also had the best ladies to make it all happen ...
for us! Lauren and Madelon did everything they could to make our day perfect! I would highly recommend this location, you will not be disappointed.
We had a wonderful experience working with The Pavilion at Lake Elmo! I would recommend them a thousand times over to any bride! We did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception t...
here. Lauren and Madelon, the Pavilion coordinators, were both very easy to work with and responded back to emails in a timely manner. We were able to ask them questions and they would answer back in detail so we were fully informed. They are very knowledgable in weddings and even asked us questions that would have never crossed our minds in the planning process. Our day was beautiful and all the staff working did everything in their power to make sure we had a wonderful day! All the food is catered from The Machine Shed, which is attached to the building. Everything was so yummy and still hot when it arrived as plated dinners for my guests. We received so many compliments from our guest about the rooms atmosphere and the meal. I was very nervous about having to flip the room from a ceremony space to a reception space in an hour, but their team of people do it quickly and efficiently. My vision was upheld through the whole day! I would recommend this space to anyone looking for a rustic, indoor wedding space! Thanks to The Pavilion at Lake Elmo I was able to have my dream wedding!
Everything was PERFECT! Best venue and best staff around. I was immediately contacted upon request and received responses to all questions within a matter of hours. The venue was...
beautiful and decorated for me, even my centerpieces and decorations were placed for me! The food was delicious and served very promptly, numerous compliments from the guests we had. The staff went above and beyond to help and guide us through the events of the day and handled everything needed and more. Every need we had was met, no matter how odd. The location was perfect, guests were able to stay in the beautiful hotel! Everyone was so polite and helpful throughout the process, when my head was spinning I could count on the staff to have all the answers for me!
Truly a memorable and perfect wedding, we will never forget! THANK YOU!
From the beginning stages of working with The Pavilion we were impressed by our experience. All the staff were welcoming and available for all our needs. Madelon was always timel...
y and thorough in response to our many questions, and helpful in providing suggestions to help make everything run smoothly. Everyone worked to make our vision happen. We were able to personalize so many details. The hotel staff were hospitable, and guests loved the food. Guests loved the convenience and location of the venue. Definitely one of the best priced venues around for any event.
The Pavilion is beautiful, affordable, and is a great all-in-one location. Because the venue is attached to a hotel, all of our out of town guests (which was a grand majority of ou...
r guest list) had an easy to get to bed at the end of the night and didn't have to worry about try to navigate around an unfamiliar city. The Pavilion is also attached to a restaurant, so they handled catering and liquor services. All the food options were absolutely delicious and we got lots of compliments on our dinner. We also did both our ceremony and reception here and the staff flipped the room during cocktail hour. Being able to have everything in one gorgeous place made our lives so much easier and we had an absolutely beautiful day! I would absolutely recommend having your wedding here!
The Pavilion is an AMAZING wedding venue! I was living out of state for a majority of our wedding and they made the process much easier to handle. I worked with both Shannon and Ma...
delon for all our arrangements. They are both so kind, genuine, friendly, professional, and helpful. I asked a million questions and they had so much patience and if they didnât know the answer they were always quick in communication to get back to me. We did our ceremony indoors in the Pavilion and the day of the wedding went so smooth that I couldnât have asked for better staff to help run such an important day of our lives. It was so hot and humid outside, but they kept it cool and comfortable inside; I would definitely recommend their indoor ceremony on a hot summer day or as a backup plan. Coming from a scratch kitchen we were able to make our own menu items and the food was amazing! Nothing but good things to say! I cannot recommend the Pavilion enough!
Our friends and family loved the venue and so did we! I cannot count how many people complimented the dinner buffet. Our photographer who has been to hundreds of weddings told me t...
hat it was the best wedding food she has ever had! We chose this venue for the square room shape so that nobody would feel as if they were stuck in the corner as opposed to a long conference hall. We loved the rustic wood beams and linen draping that comes with the room. Lauren P was a delight to work with and her team was excellent as well. Their suggestions for our group of 200+ was spot on and we couldn't have had a more perfect venue for our special day!
BEST DAY EVER is an understatement for the day of our wedding. From the very beginning of planning, Lauren, Madelon, and everyone else was a pleasure to work with and always prompt...
in answering questions. The food is PHENOMENAL (we got LOTS of compliments from our guests), the venue is gorgeous, and they have plenty of staff onsite the day of the wedding to ensure everything runs smoothly. We can't thank you enough!
My ONLY complaint is that front desk staff were sometimes less than helpful when guests were booking hotel rooms (guests would be told our block was full, I would call to have them block off more and they would tell me there were still plenty of rooms left). This was not a fault of the Pavilion staff so I'm still leaving a 5-star rating, and just recommend to call during the week and speak with a manager when dealing with anything surrounding the hotel room block (Mike was always very helpful!).
I am not sure where to start but The Pavilion is the most perfect venue you could ask for! Lauren, Shannon & Madelon are accommodating and helpful to work with throughout the entir...
e wedding process. The venue is absolutely breathtaking and the most affordable venue around! You will not be upset when choosing The Pavilion for your wedding venue - My husband and I wish we could relive our day over and over. Will continue to recommend them to all my family & friends!
I cannot not say enough good things about The Pavilion and their staff! From the moment we met Shannon up until the week after our wedding, any communication between Shannon, Laur...
en and Madelon was answered in a timely fashion. They go over every detail with you and ask the questions that I would never think of. We received so many compliments on the beauty of the venue, the amazing taste of the food and no matter what staff member ourselves and our guests had contact with, they were friendly and genuinely interested in helping. The front desk staff is inviting and accommodating especially Renee! They were truly excited to k ow more about our big day and to answer any questions we had. The next morning we had a family breakfast at the Machine Shed, Rose was our server and again friendly and accommodating. We had ice cream cupcakes left over that they were storing for us and we asked if it would be ok to pick them up later in the afternoon and of course it was no problem for them! There is nothing I can complain about they honestly helped make my perfect wedding happen without a hitch! I felt as though we were treated like royalty, they are amazing and my wedding will be the talk of family and friends for years to come! Thank you to everyone who hand in making our big day our fairytale wedding!
The Pavilion was a beautiful space to get married - overall we had a great time at our wedding! They plan and schedule so many weddings, that my guess is my situation is pretty ty...
pical; we didnât plan/discuss/communicate our wedding details with any of the employees that were working at our wedding and it caused a decent amount of miscommunication and misinterpretation on our wedding day. It was simple things that shouldnât have gone wrong: not reserving a keg, setting out hors dâoeuvres at the wrong time, making the head table too short to fit our wedding party (10 total people), and not setting out the additional cupcakes. The venue is beautiful, has an extremely convienient location, attached hotel accommodations, and the food is delicious!
We got married here 5/12/18 and couldn't be happier. Shannon and Madelon are absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. They took the time to get to know us, responded to my mill...
ion emails so quickly, worked with us on our decorations and food, and their attention to detail made the whole day run so smoothly. They are there the day of helping decorate and coordinate walking in for the ceremony and reception, and you really can't find a better team than these two amazing ladies. The Pavilion is beautiful, everyone said the food was delicious, and everyone from the front desk staff to the banquet department to the woman working in the gift shop who helped me straighten the train on my dress make you feel relaxed and at ease; you are in such good hands with the entire team at the Holiday Inn.
I don't even know where to start when trying to explain why my entire wedding day was so PERFECT! I will start with Shannon, who was coordinating the event from day one. Shannon is...
very talented, accommodating and direct when it comes to what will work and what is not ideal. I trusted her judgement on everything from decorations to food to alcohol and everything in between and she made this day a huge success. I had so many compliments on how great the food was and I absolutely loved all of the servers and bartenders throughout the night. The hotel staff was also AMAZING and accommodating. The bridal suite was a must and a perfect place to gather. I would recommend this venue 100 times over!
Shannon and Lauren were so fun to work with for our wedding! Their expertise and quick responses were things we appreciated immensely. They helped us stay organized and handled any...
problems that came up like such professionals. We loved working with them, and The Pavilion was the perfect spot for our big day. The food was great, and the location was so convenient for guests. We can't say enough great things about The Pavilion and their staff, we would highly recommend them!
I cannot put into words how great everything was about the pavilion! Shannon Lauren, and the staff worked their magic to make our day perfect throughout the whole process. The loca...
tion is great for out of town family and very easy to find. The accommodations were perfect, from the venue, to the blocks of guest rooms... perfect! I cannot thank everyone at the pavilion enough for helping make our day better then we could have imagined!!!
We got married this September and had our reception at the Pavilion. The room is rustic yet elegant and I thought very affordable. It was a great choice as it is attached to the ho...
tel for out of town guests.
Working with Shannon and Lauren was great. They were very knowledgeable and always promptly returned emails and calls. I was also super impressed with their flexability. it seemed like anything I was hoping for, they made work. I did my own decorations and they were always happy to let me stop in to plan the room set up.
I would highly reccommend!
Lauren and Shannon were very flexible and willing to make the day go as smoothly as possible. We were able to get in early to decorate, which was awesome. The room looked amazing, ...
and service went smoothly. The bridal suite was really just a conference room they put extra mirrors in, but no private bathroom. Other than that, the venue was great.
My husband and I got married and had our reception here a couple of months ago. We had the best time. Everyone was so accommodating and attentive. They helped walk us through the e...

We got married 6/3/17 at the Pavilion and it was wonderful! Both Lauren and Shannon were super helpful and answered all questions in a very timely manner. Shannon was there the day...
of and made sure everything went smoothly! The staff at the Pavilion were awesome as well, anytime I asked them for some help they were more than willing and made my day so much easier! Our guests raved about the food (we did the chicken chardonnay and apple stuffed pork loin) so delicious! This space is just absolutely perfect if you are on a budget but still want a beautiful venue. The wooden beams, ceiling drapery and everything included are an added bonus! Thank you for making our wedding day amazing!!
We had our wedding at the Pavilion a few days ago with Shannon as our coordinator, and it was fantastic! Everything was so perfect! When I was selecting a venue, my main requiremen...
ts were something affordable but still attractive and unique, and also a place that didn't require a lot of extra coordination or DIY stuff on my part, because I just didn't have the time. The Pavilion blew those requirements out of the park and more! First, the hall was beautiful. It was beautiful but also had a rustic theme to give it some character. This matched the surrounding hotel, restaurant and grounds, and they were also lovely. They also include table set-up and basic centerpieces, so you can do no additional decorating if you choose and still have a gorgeous set-up. The food was also fantastic! I'd say much better than the average wedding meal, and they also have some more unique options- like the apple-stuffed pork- and shedder casserole potatoes. We got tons of compliments on it. Then the staff was also amazing. Shannon was super helpful and made the process very easy. She responded quickly to all of our many questions. She also knew how to handle all of the logistical issues that I was worried about (coordinating other vendors, projector for slideshow, where to put gifts, etc.). She was particularly invaluable on the day of to make sure everything went smoothly. She even lined up my rowdy crew for the Grand March. I didn't realize before booking how important and helpful the venue coordinator can be, so I'd highly recommend other couples take that into consideration. All the other staff at the Pavilion and Hotel were fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and excited for us. Having the connected hotel was also very convenient for us and our guests, and being able to simply walk down the hall at the end of the night to the lovely bridal suite was just perfect! I'd highly recommend this venue!
We had our ceremony and reception at The Pavilion in March 2017- and it was a perfect location! I worked mainly with Shannon who was amazing to work with. She always responded quic...
kly and tried to accommodate everything that we needed. The room was beautiful and we had a ton of compliments on the venue and food (Italian buffet). We also had pictures taken onsite, and had lots of options around the building. I would highly recommend The Pavilion- Lauren and Shannon did a great job and stayed within my price range.
Our wedding was the best night ever and it was all made possible because of Lauren and Shannon! We can't say enough good things about working with these two and the rest of the sta...
ff. Lauren even helped carry my dress through the rain with no umbrella!! They were so quick to respond to all of our questions and took my last minute requests without hesitation. We are so incredibly happy with how the entire wedding went at The Pavilion.
My husband and I got married in March and it was a perfect day! I had a great experience with both Lauren and Shannon. I mainly worked with Lauren, and she was very knowledgeable, ...
helpful, and flexible. My favorite thing about her is how fast she is at getting back to you when you have questions! The venue is beautiful and has character. The food is delicious. We got a lot of compliments from our guests. You also get a free Jacuzzi suite for the night which was amazing! I highly recommend the Pavilion at the Holiday Inn.
Our experience at the Pavilion was amazing! We had so much fun working with Lauren and Shannon to make our day just right for us. There were a lot of choices we could make specific...
to us to make it a day to remember.
One thing I have to stress is how incredible the food was! We ordered one meal for everyone; the Champagne Chicken. Even a month later, I still get compliments for the food that night.
I highly recommend the Bridal Suite option for the Bridal party to get ready in. It was nice to have our own space to hang out and get ready.
Finally, our bartender that night was fantastic as well. Everyone loved him! Although the free drinks were a plus, our guests raved about how personable and fun our bartender was!
I would recommend the Pavilion to anyone planning a wedding or event. The fair prices allowed us to keep our wedding under $10,000- which was very important to us.
There are not enough things to say how great it was to work with Shannon and Lauren as well as the day of staff. They were so on top of every need and was always willing to "make i...
t happen". We loved the venue and they made it so beautiful for the day. We also enjoyed the hotel attached. The next day our family was able to relax a bit and have the night away be like a little get away, even though most of them live within an hour from the venue. Again, they were amazing and went above and beyond to make our day go without a hitch!
The staff were amazing. They were very helpful from the beginning to the end. We will definitely consider them again for any other big event we may have!
We booked the Pavilion for our wedding as both of our families needed to travel to come to us. The hotel attached was so handy and some of our guests even received free room upgrad...
es. The day of the wedding, the staff was so wonderful! They were happy to help with whatever we needed. Everything was set up as we had asked. They even took the left over cupcakes/cake and put them in their fridge overnight and brought them back up for us to enjoy while we opened gifts. The machine shed attached was also so handy as we had our grooms supper there and our guests just loved it! The pavilion allows for such a warm feeling environment for us to enjoy! It was a great place to get married- we were very happy!
My husband and I had our reception here. It was the best day ever! Lauren and Shannon took the time to ensure all of the needs we had were met. We toured a couple other venues but ...
truly felt at home here.
Loved having this as my venue. Not too big and is beautiful. Lauren was a big help with the big day.

There aren't enough great things to say about this venue. The venue is beautiful, affordable and convenient. The staff was outstanding throughout the entire process of planning and...
executing our wedding. Lauren, Shannon and Alex were wonderful to work with. They answered questions, eased concerns and handled some of our more "off the wall" requests with grace.
We received so many compliments on the food and the wait staff as well as the beauty of the venue from most of our guests.
We, along with our parents and guests would highly recommend the Holiday Inn and Suites Lake Elmo to any bride and groom. Happy Planning!

ade sure everything was just the way we wanted it. The room was set up for the ceremony and then flipped for the reception. They flipped the room quickly and it everything went very smoothly. The venue was beautiful and the only decorations we had to add were our center pieces. The food was fantastic and the prices were very reasonable.
