Everything was done on time and done really well. The decorations were amazing and exactly the way that we wanted. They are awesome and Lauren is one of the best persons to talk to if you want everything done right. 5/5 in everything.

First of all, it was a complete pleasure to work with Lauren Fritz and all the stuff at the Holiday Inn Crystal City because they provided us with an excellent quality of service and professionalism all the way through our wedding. Especially the flexibility and all the effort Lauren spent in our wedding just made us feel very special and relaxed because we knew we could cont on them. However, the one thing made us decide to do our wedding with Lauren and Holiday Inn Crystal City was the cost for for so many services and dedication, it's definitely a money worth spending. In conclusion, working with Lauren Fritz and the Holiday Inn Crystal City was such a great and unforgettable experience and of course I will recommend every person to have their once in a lifetime event at Holiday Inn Crystal City because it is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

sincerely,
Alondra & Danny

We first considered working with the Holiday Inn because a good friend of mine got married at the Crowne Plaza and also worked with Lauren Fritz, the event manager at both hotels, and I am so happy that my friend referred us. Lauren was an absolute gem to work with and made sure the details of everything for the reception were perfect. By far she was the most responsive, most responsible, and most reliable vendor we worked with.

I know that a hotel ballroom isn't always necessarily considered the most elegant setting for a wedding but Lauren and her banquet manager transformed the ballroom into something truly grand and exquisite using draping and uplighting. My new hubby and I had a huge group of family and friends to accommodate for dinner, but also wanted a separate "cocktail" area, which the floor plan designer created using a section of the room high-top tables with the bar. The draping over the dancefloor and around the room combined with the lanterns and tealights around the room (which they placed along with 200 favors exactly as I had asked) to create a sort of glowing, magical look. I am a pretty picky (and I'll admit, sort of snobby when it comes to decorating) person, but Lauren and her crew exceeded my expectations.

We also were lucky enough to work out a really reasonable rate with the hotel. I am a teacher and my husband is military, and we paid for the wedding ourselves, which meant that other vendors described us as having "champagne taste with a Budweiser budget" (lovely, right?) but Lauren was able to give us everything we asked for: an elegant wedding with delectable food (people were raving about the beef and the salmon) and an extended open bar that kept our huge families quite happy.

Lauren was also extremely easy to work with and would answer my emails within one day, if not the same hour. The only negative I could ever say about the hotel would have to be the banquet supplies that Holiday Inn keeps as part of their "stock" - with Lauren and her team able to throw such amazing parties, it would really behoove the hotel to invest in some nicer linens and nicer china, so that brides don't have to rent them from outside if they want something more upscale looking. But that is an issue you could find in any place and doesn't really reflect on the amazing service and wonderful product that Lauren and the Holiday Inn can offer a couple for their reception. Julio and I would, without a doubt, choose to work with Lauren again if we were to pick everything all over again. (And I can definitely not say that about my florist!)

We used the Holiday Inn in Front Royal and everything was perfect! The service was exceptional, the room was gorgeous and our friends and family can't stop talking about the delicious food!

We had such a wonderful time here! All of our guests seemed to really enjoy themselves. The lighting was set up nicely, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and being so close to DC made it really special for us.
We are very happy with everything and are happy to recommend hosting your reception here :)

Everyone at the Holiday Inn was a pleasure to work with. They did a wonderful job of hosting our big day. The big day went off without a hitch, the room looked beautiful, the service was excellent and friendly, and I heard no complaints. The bar service after the reception was over was also excellent. My only complaint was the tasting - we were very limited in what we were able to taste before making our final choices. I would recommend being more flexible with that aspect. However, Matt, our sales rep and point of contact, always worked hard to make us happy, and we appreciated all of his hard work.
