Keith + Monica Bickett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2022 Absolutely Amazing Venue!!! If you are planning on having a large wedding or a wedding with a lot of family and kids this is the perfect place! It is a one stop shop! We had the Ceremony and Reception in the ballroom. The food was delicious, and the staff was awesome! The kids loved the waterpark/pool, and the parents loved watching them have fun (and burn off some energy) Many of our guests commented on how nice it was to have everything in one place. Add the fact that Rudys Red Eye Grill is attached to the venue, if you didn't want to leave you didn't have to. If you are looking for a family friendly, convenient, affordable but most of all FUN place to have a wedding that no-one will forget, this is the place!!! Reviewed on 06-01-2023

Marissa McKinstrey(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2019 Our wedding was gorgeous, however I wasn’t thrilled with the mount of double work that was caused by mistakes with the staff. Less than thrilled to seriously be planning the wedding with them and finalizing things ONLY week before the wedding. I had so many other things were going on, I thought the meeting we had together 3 weeks prior was the final one, but nope. The staff could only meet at 4pm the latest, that was impossible to fit into our schedules living 40+ minutes away during rush hour & working full time up until the wedding. We received this email a week prior to our event that we must meet.The charges & just not having accounting in the right places on how much we had put down & charging us for cash bar prices vs. host bar prices (prices they said updated but we never received notice they did) are really the only annoying parts. This may be kinda petty review, but the last thing I want to do a month after my wedding (first we heard anything from them) is doing pencil math on the back of a napkin ensuring they charged us the correct amount.Again reception was amazing, the administrative staff processes ultimately had something to be desired.

Hannah Larscheid(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-08-2019 Our experience with the Holiday Inn ballroom in Lakeville was a great one! Our contacts were timely and went out of their way to answer specific questions I had. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they were in between hiring a new wedding person so 2 people were trying to do that job and their own jobs. We ended up having to meet with both individuals who were so friendly, but we found that at times they contradicted one another about what would be available and other details. However, both individuals were professional and had answers for us , or took the time to find out the answer. The Holiday Inn was in the middle of a transition and they handled it superbly. On the day of, they took it upon themselves to make sure the flowers were added to our wedding cake and that all the details were set up and looked great for our guests.

The head banquet server was personally waiting on us and doing any little thing we asked of him, including helping moms and kids get their plates of dinner (dad was sitting at the head table with us.) Another highlight was the set up and take down, all completed by HI staff and included in the price. I loved not having to worry about taking everything down at the end of the night. They set it up beautiful and everyone loved it. Also, the food was AMAZING and we still hear compliments about the flank steak and the mac n cheese. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because we had some communication issues within the months leading up to the wedding, with it taking a while to respond to emails or me repeating myself. I think this may have been due to the first event coordinator leaving her role after we signed up. I would still recommend the place and would absolutely personally use them again. Oh! And lastly- ceremony and reception all in one place THE BEST. Reviewed on 24-10-2019

Throughout the planning process I talked to at least 4 different people. I had set up meetings that were canceled day-off twice after I had traveled a long distance. On my wedding day, the reception space was set up in a rush with family having to help out. The menu items we chose were incorrect and to top it all off they placed my in-laws table in the wrong spot (not up front but back by the DJ...nightmare!). On a positive note, the space was nice and the rooms were newly renovated. Amanda was great getting more rooms added to our block of rooms. Reviewed on 17-09-2019

Heidi Fishman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-04-2019 We originally began working with the Holiday Inn Lakeville with their venue coordinator Heidi K., but sadly, she moved onto another venue a few months before the wedding. The transition to Jamie was seamless, and they made sure all of our notes/discussions were passed along so we did not lose any groundwork laid out earlier in the planning process. They catered to our every request and even provided some great insight and recommendations regarding timing and nuances of the venue (i.e. whether to have brunch in the ballroom or conference room). In regards to booking rooms and checking the room block, our hats go off to Mitch and Amanda. Mitch took care of everything for us from showing us what the rooms looked like in our early visits, to asking if we needed anything every time he passed us in the hallways that weekend. Amanda updated us regularly on how the room block was doing and if we needed to add any additional accommodations, which was extremely helpful in keeping us aware of who booked a room and making sure we had the right number of guests who RSVP’d. The catering from Rudy’s truly does not need any description besides all of guests complimented their meals saying all of the food was delicious. If anyone wants to try their food before thinking of having a wedding there, make Rudy’s a date night and try some of their different food – you will not be disappointed! We opted for chicken breasts in a campaign sauce, pork with a cranberry sauce, pasta for a vegetarian option, and chicken fingers as a kids option. Our sides were mashed potatoes and Asian-style green beans. All of the staff at the Holiday Inn Lakeville genuinely seemed excited for our special day, which made our day even more perfect knowing they were as happy for us as our friends and family.

Heidi was always attentive - paying attention to each detail and willing to answer any and all questions I had. She made it super easy to plan everything from living afar for not always being able to be there and the rest of her team was very helpful as well. The food there is awesome and the green beans..are to die for! We chose the diamond buffet so we got a little bit of everything and were able to please all of our guests likes. Let me tell you, they raved about the food; we’re still getting compliments about it! We ourselves go there to the restaurant quite often. Our bartender and security guard were also great, willing to help where they could and make sure everyone got back to their rooms safe. The security guard even came to check on us the next morning to make sure everything was okay! It was nice to have the option of the cash bar in the ballroom but to also be able to go into Rudy’s and order drinks there to bring back. Heidi made our reception a dream, the decorating skills were exactly as I imagined. We opted to do our gift opening there as well the morning after with some bagels, coffee and juice for the guests that wanted to attend. It was super easy and convienent to have everything done in one place since we had a lot of out of town guests. Heidi, we want to thank you again for all your hard work and dedication to our wedding - everything went off without a hitch and the night was beyond perfect!

She answered all of our questions promptly and completely, made sure that the hotel could accommodate all of our requests, and worked with us to make our day exactly what we wanted.All of our guests were from out of town, and they appreciated the hotel amenities (especially the pool.) The hotel allowed us to adjust our room block multiple times due to the number of out of town guests, and even left some thoughtful treats in our suite. The event space was perfect for our party, and was able to accommodate around 230 attendees for the ceremony. We had both the reception and ceremony on site, with the main hall split into 2 rooms. After the ceremony the guests moved to the second room/bar area and hallway, which was a little congested due to the number of people. However, the event staff flipped the ceremony space into reception space on schedule so it was only a minor inconvenience for the guests.

We had the ceremony at another location and used Holiday Inn for our social hour and reception. All of our guests raved about the food, and the ease of getting thru the line of the buffet. We did serve each guest with their choice of dessert, and that went very smooth. I dropped off all of our décor on Wednesday for our Saturday wedding, and by the time our first guest arrived, everything was set up and ready for them. Sunday Morning, we woke up and went back to the banquet hall to find most of our décor was already boxed up in the same boxes that I delivered it and ready for us to load back up into our car. Holiday Inn was great to work with, they were very accommodating to our requests, and prompt when I had emailed a question if something was possible or not possible. This was 1 of 3 locations that we toured, and the others had package pricing, and if you didn't want something included in that package, you either had to still pay for it, or you could lower the package and the add others items in, which made it to be much more expensive.

Amanda Brandt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-08-2016 I definitely would recommend using thr Holiday Inn for your venue. We had our wedding on August 6, 2016 and could not have chosen a better hotel venue. Heidi was absolutely amazing to work with I was not worried any step of the way. Its beyond helpful that her and her team set everything up for you as it takes a lot of stress away the day of the wedding because you know things are in good hands. I would definitely recommend working with Heidi! The wait staff was prompt and kind we did not experience any delays in serving dinner or handing out cake. The bartenders were also amazing our guests loved their personality and how they were not just bartenders but also engaging with the guest and showing they are also having a great time doing their job! The venue itself was great as well. Not all of our guests wanted to dance or be in the ballroom the whole time, at this venue they were able to use all the space (hallways, Rudy's, and outside). Finally, the food was absolutely amazing even better at our wedding than our taste testing. No one was disappointed in the food we served. Reviewed on 21-10-2016

Deb Zimny(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2016 I will say first that we did not get married at the hotel. We stayed at the hotel the night before the wedding and for the wedding night. The hotel room was nice and there was a lot of room for me and my bridesmaids to get ready for the ceremony. The bed was comfortable and very nice. My 10 yr old stepdaughter loved the pool/waterpark . I have to say that I was very disappointed that, for how much we paid for our room ($140/night), that there was no free breakfast (not even a continental one) for us at the hotel. I've stayed at other hotels, paid less for the room and gotten at least a little something for breakfast. While that might sound nitpicky, we are very tight on money and paid for the wedding (and the rooms) ourselves. I made the decision to pay for a room for both nights so my groom and I would not see each other the night before and for my bridesmaids and I to get ready before the ceremony. So, all that being said, I'm very disappointed by the fact there was no breakfast available. I will not stay there in the future and I would not recommend it to anyone either. Sorry, Holiday Inn and Suites, but if you really were \"full-service\" then you really would be full-service and offer breakfast. Reviewed on 04-10-2016

Katie Pufahl(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2016 Josh and I were married on September 10th, 2016 and our venue was the Holiday Inn and Suites. It was everything we hoped for and the evening was more than perfect. We had amazing reviews from our guests about the food and service throughout the evening and are still hearing about it today, two weeks later! More than 75% of our guests traveled from many different states to come to our wedding, choosing the Holiday Inn and Suites gave us just what our guests needed. The hotel rooms which were directly connected to the ballroom and wonderful service from all the staff members was something we really appreciated. The restaurant attached was also wonderful for our guests. Danielle, who worked with our room block gave us exactly what we needed for our guest rooms. Danielle was awesome to work with and was very organized with our room blocks. Victor and his staff were beyond amazing to work with! The service was amazing for our wedding party at the head table and for our guests. The bartenders were so much fun! The bartender came to our head table and introduced himself at the beginning of the evening and was so genuine. Everyone enjoyed their drinks throughout the night and there was never an issue with bar service throughout the entire night. Heidi was more than wonderful to work with. We cannot express enough how much time we felt she put into working with us whether it was through emails, telephone calls, meeting with us to discuss plans and not to mention the individual food tasting she let us do, as we live in Minot, ND and could not make it to the scheduled food tasting the Holiday Inn had planned. From the day I booked with Holiday Inn and Suites, until the wedding day itself and after the wedding Heidi was always so helpful and easy to work with!I cannot express how amazing the staff at Holiday Inn and Suites are, and how beautiful our wedding dream turned out.

The wedding coordinator, Heidi is absolutely amazing. She is there for you every step of the way and you can genuinely feel that she wants your day to be just as perfect as you do. Not to mention she is one of the kindest people I have ever met. About a week before the wedding you will have a final appointment and going over EVERYTHING and how much it will cost - so no surprises! We had a buffet style rehearsal dinner at Rudy's and for our reception. We received compliments for both nights on how amazing the food was. You will not be disappointed!

Our reception was exactly what we had hoped for and we couldn't have done it without the help of this amazing staff. From day one of planning and working with Heidi I knew that I could go to her with anything or any questions I had. She is the sweetest person and made me feel calm throughout the stress of planning a wedding. Every single person in the building greeted us with a smile and were quick to help with anything we needed! They allow you to bring your decorations ahead of time, set up for you to allow time to enjoy pre-wedding festivities, and even had everything gathered the next morning to make for an effortless clean up the next day! They were very accommodating to our large numbered guest list and if I got the chance to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing about our reception. I just kept thinking to myself how lucky we were that we were working with Heidi and a staff that cared so much to make our day everything we dreamed of! Couldn't have done it without this hard working staff! I would HIGHLY recommend this location! Wonderful, kind, caring, and supportive people to work with and a beautiful venue!

Can I also mention that she also went on maternity leave and became a new mom and didn't skip a beat the entire time? She was phenomenal, professional, very detail-oriented and a pleasure to work with. She is also very personable: no matter when I happened to drop by the hotel because I just happened to be in the area, she always knew who I was, which is incredible considering the volume of weddings that this venue hosts each year. The ballroom is spacious and beautiful and the venue is flexible with the DJ services, cake bakery, etc. The food was awesome, Rudy's does a great job and is economical, especially considering the quality of the food. Our guests loved visiting Rudy's for meals before and after our event. It is a unique great bar/grill with fun staff and delicious, quality food choices for all palettes. We got tons of compliments from our guests on our wine selection. The hotel is spacious and comfortable and I really enjoyed having our guests not having to worry about drinking and driving, since there were plenty of rooms for our guests to stay the night. The water park is great for little kids and a number of our guests utilized this both the day of and the day after our wedding. Again, I can't emphasize enough as to how fantastically perfect our day was, which was all possible thanks to Heidi. I would highly encourage anyone even considering this venue to meet with her, because you will be blown away. Reviewed on 24-07-2016

My husband lost his ring at one point in the night and Antoine, the manager at Rudy's DUG through a GARBAGE and found it. You cannot beat the people at this venue.

Having our reception in a hotel worked out great because our guests could drink and not worry about having to drive home if they had a room.

Whenever we had questions, Heidi emailed us back promptly and helped us work within our budget. The ceremony was set up in 2/3 of the ballroom and a social hour was set up in the other 1/3. After the ceremony, guests were able to go straight to the social hour and the ceremony room was turned into the reception within the hour! The food (catered onsite through Rudy's Red Eye Grill) was AMAZING and all of the staff we worked with from our initial booking through the actual wedding day were just awesome! There are also two beautiful parks within 2 miles of the hotel that worked great for photos and the hotel even let us use their shuttle to taxi our wedding party to and from photos. My wedding day could not have been more perfect and that is in large part due to all of the work Heidi and the team at the Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville put in to our special day! We even came back to chocolate covered strawberries in our room! On top of all that, this venue didn't break the bank either! Thanks again Heidi and the rest of the HI Lakeville team!

Emilie Lane(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-07-2014 The Holiday Inn in Lakeville was very easy, from start to finish. The staff is very capable. We had a large (350) wedding with lots of out of town guests and the location and hotel were great. They may not be the cheapest place you could have a wedding but if you are looking for full service and a great stress free location for your guests this is the place. Reviewed on 15-07-2014

Our wedding reception. The service from both servers and the bartenders was amazing with great attitudes which made it fun to be around them. The food was spectacular and I would go back just for that. Had lots of compliments from all the guests and how great the food was too and the large selection of food as well. Tony the bartender is probably about the best bartender in the world and he was dancing and singing with everyone else during the reception. The ballroom was beautiful and everything was set up the way we wanted plus more. I couldn't get over how amazing everything was and how smoothly it all ran. Thanks again for everything you did to make our special day run so smoothly. Reviewed on 27-05-2014

I just had my wedding at the Holiday Inn and it was amazing! The girls who run the special events are very helpful and super nice! They take care of everything you just need to give them your stuff and ideas. I didnt have to worry about anything the day of. There was a head waiter who helps keep things flowing and he did a wonderful job! The night went by very smoothly. Also the preparation was really easy, the girls were very helpful with telling me what they needed and giving me pointers. Also they have many good references for DJ's that they have worked with and bakery's. Also they have a lot of help for decor. All I had to do was drop my boxes off and then pick everything up the day after. They take care of everything!!!\rI really recommend the Holiday Inn in Lakeville!!! Reviewed on 12-04-2014

djkkak (parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-12-2013 Each person we worked with took time to introduce themselves and spoke with us to be sure they understood what we wanted. We left the decorating to them; using decorations we brought in they did an excellent job. Reviewed on 09-01-2014
Angela Kadrlik(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2013 I just had my wedding reception at the Holiday Inn - Lakeville, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff were great and they took care of everything. There is something to be said about having peace of mind and knowing that everything is being handled on your wedding day. I dropped off everything (centerpieces, favors, guestbook, etc.) a few days before the wedding. We even had a few very fine details that the staff noted. When we showed up to our reception, everything was as I imagined. If we had a request, the staff jumped on it without hesitation. When we went to grab our things the next morning, they were all set aside in one area of the ballroom for us. We are still hearing compliments from our guests about the fantastic food and service. I couldn't be more happy about how everything turned out - the Holiday Inn truly made it a stress-free and wonderful experience! Reviewed on 03-10-2013
Kara Henning(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-08-2013 My husband I are so happy we picked the Holiday Inn and Suites of Lakeville to have our wedding reception! Our expectations were far exceeded. It couldn't have been more perfect...everything was wonderful. We are still hearing many compliments on how beautiful the room was and how the food was incredible. \r\rJessica and Kara were so helpful from start to finish. They are so organized and detail oriented. They were great at answering all our many questions. The entire process went so smoothly and Jessica was great at giving us ideas and tips that made the day even more wonderful. They did all the work in setting up the room. It was so beautiful!! Jessica came to my rescue with my table numbers. I had the numbers made which were suppose to tent, but did not. She scrambled to find number holders for us...and they looked amazing. This is just one of many examples of how hard they work to make the day perfect. I can't say enough enough about this team and how it very much decreased my stress level knowing they were on top of everything. \r\rThe food was incredible. We had a sit down meal and gave our guests three choices; Pasta primavera, herb encrusted chicken, and the prime rib. All choices were amazing! They were served with cheesy mash potatoes and green beans...also amazing! The portions were large and came out in a timely manner. Everything was hot and very tasty. Many of my guests stated this was best food they've ever had at a wedding reception. The wait staff was also wonderful, they were attentive to any need or question we had that evening. \r\rMany of my guests did stay 1 to 2 nights at the Holiday Inn. They all enjoyed there stay and the kids loved the water park. My eight year old nephew stated he'd like to live at the Holiday Inn. My guests commented on how comfortable the rooms were and the staff being very helpful. \r\rWe'd like like to thank the entire staff for making our wedding reception so special and memorable! We would highly recommend the Holiday Inn in Lakeville for any event!!\r Reviewed on 29-09-2013
Lisa Monnens(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2013 Initially my fiance was very skeptical at the thought of having our wedding reception at the Holiday Inn and Suites. That is, until we toured it, and he saw how great it really was! \r\rJessica was our go to girl from day 1, and we couldn't have been more pleased with her! She was always there to answer what sometimes felt like millions of questions, and even had some very helpful hints and tips. She and the entire catering staff were AMAZING!! I was able to go into the wedding day calm and relaxed and I think a big part of that was due to the terrific service we received leading up to and on the big day! \r\rAnd let's not forget the food...OH MY GOSH!!! At first I thought maybe I was being a little biased (being that it was my wedding), but everything was beyond great! The meals all came out piping hot and in such a timely manner. I cannot tell you how many compliments were received about the food! We decided to serve the herb encrusted chicken and the pan fried walleye, each being served with green beans and cheddar cheese crusted mashed potatoes. I'm pretty sure that if it hadn't been a formal event we would have had people licking their plates! \r\rEvery expectation that we had for our big day was met or exceeded by the Holiday Inn Staff! If you are looking for a reception site to go above and beyond then go with them - I cannot recommend them enough!!\r\r Reviewed on 23-09-2013
