Absolute amazing. Hayley and Zsuzanna were brilliant 🤍
We had our wedding at Holiday Inn Southend and it was absolutely beautiful. From booking the wedding a year before to the day of our wedding everything was so smooth, the rooms are beautiful- we had a lovely room with the airport view, the food was absolutely amazing we had so many compliments on the food (canapés, wedding breakfast and evening buffet ) the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the ceremony room and reception room was beautiful and Zsuzanna was amazing, the whole day from start to finish was everything we asked for and more and when we got back up to the room it was decorated beautifully with some lovely personalised mugs and a beautiful handmade card, Hayley our wedding planner is so so lovely and actually what sold us booking our wedding there, she is the friendliest person ever and we couldn’t have asked for any better. Thank you so much Holiday Inn Southend 🤍🤍🤍
Absolutely beautiful experience
From the beginning of our wedding planning our allocated wedding manager, Hayely was very responsive and helpful. She has taken consideration of our wishes and made sure we were involved in every step of planning. We cannot forget about our wedding host Suzannah who was also very good in decorating our venue and ensured good time keeping and organisation during the day of our wedding. She made us feel at ease and made great effort to follow our wishes and made sure we were not feeling any stress on our special day. In overall Hayley and Susannah along with the rest of the staff we came across were very professional and friendly.
The food was absolutely amazing and beyond our expectations.
We would very much recommend the Holiday Inn venue for anyone who also plans to spend their wedding party at their facility.
After the party we were given personalised gifts and welcomed to a beautiful room that was specius with comfortable bed to rest over the night. We couldn’t be any happier and we are very grateful for their effort and professionalism.
Thank you so much for such beautiful memories we have created and experience.
Wedding package
We got married here in June this year. Absolutely stunning venue at the Laker Suite. Hayley and Suzanna were amazing throughout and helped make our day special. Highly recommend this venue
