Amazing experience!

All I can say is WOW! I am so glad that we decided to have our wedding here. Lesley was so incredibly helpful from the beginning of the wedding planning process. She was always there to answer all of my questions (and I had a lot!) and she was always so friendly! I can’t even begin to explain how amazing this venue was for our wedding. We had a beach ceremony and had our reception in the Saltaire Room! It was absolutely breathtaking. Lesley and her staff decided the entire room for us and it was perfect!! It was beautiful and I couldn’t have done it better myself. Also, all of the staff was SO nice!! They were making sure we were taken care of the entire time we were there, not just our wedding day.

Dream Wedding

Our friends and family , all from up north, loved the convenience of having all the wedding events in one location. The staff was so attentive to all our needs at the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. They made us feel like Caitlin and Brendan's wedding was the most important event of the year. It was beautiful and everything the bride and groom had dreamed of for their beach wedding.

Amazing vendor, event planner, and beautifully renovated!

We were married at Holiday Inn oceanfront on July 24th, 2020. Lesley was spot on fantastic when my now husband and I contacted her to help us plan our wedding in less than 2 weeks (during a pandemic)! She was extremely professional, quick to reply to any questions we had, and planned our day to perfection! The newly renovated Oasis room was beautiful and perfect for our small intimate reception. The staff was professional and our bartender was amazing (our guest raved about his excellent attentiveness and service!). We couldn't be happier about choosing this location for our special day.
Happily Married,
Jimmie and Heather Ross

The Holiday Inn Surfside is an excellent property for wedding, reception, and lodging. The hotel is not too large, and right on the beach. Lesley always is pleasant and easy to work with. The oceanfront restaurant is perfect for a "beachy" reception. I recommend this facility for weddings at the beach!
