This is a great venue for wedding receptions!! They are extremely flexible and were willing to work within my budget and give me exactly what I wanted! The cost was very reasonable and the service during the actual event was GREAT!

The Holiday Inn In Gaithersburg did an awesome job. They offer a great package and they are way better priced then the other hotels in the area. I highly recommend this as a reception venue. We got the Platinum package and we were very pleased. The service by the wedding coordinater and other management that were helpful to us during the planning process was great. The reception was amazing. The food was wonderful. the bridal suite is beautiful.

The only thing I would complain about is if you are staying over night and decide to continue your party after the reception ends in O'Malleys (The bar in the basement of the Hotel) I wouldn't recommend it. The bartenders were extremely rude. I would recommend using the Maryland Room which is a complimentary room with tables that is included in the Platinum package to have drinks after the reception instead of spending money in O'Malleys for bad unfriendly service.

Amanda was very flexible and willing to meet all of our needs. She allowed the bride (our daughter) to use the bridal suite ahead of time to dress there. We had the Meeting Room for our guests to gather after the reception. Her staff were very gracious and considerate in packing up our gifts and supplies. We had a lot of comments on how good the food was.

Definitely I would highly recommend this Holiday Inn and especially Amanda to all my friends not only for a wedding reception but also for meetings.

Amanda was very prompt in responding and just a great person to work with.

Thanks Amanda

Carla

My experience with the Holiday Inn, most specifically with Amanda Mowbray, was exceptional. She worked with me throughout the wedding planning process to ensure that I had the wedding reception that I envisioned. She was easily accessible and willing to go above and beyond what I needed. Her professionalism is astounding and I would highly recommend using the Holiday Inn (and already have as a friend of mine is already booked for a reception in May) through Amanda! One upgrade that I would make in the future (which had nothing to do with Amanda) would be for your bar staff to card. There was a minor served at my wedding after I had specifically warned the staff to please card knowing that this may be an issue. Unfortunately they did not card and continued to serve him even after being made aware by a family member of mine that he was underage. This was disappointing as it resulted in his removal from the reception. In the future, I would highly recommend speaking to the bar staff regarding this manner. The DJ (Electra-Josh Levine), was incredible! He really made the evening enjoyable and was very in tune with the crowd and their needs. He was easy going, yet highly professional and easily accessible. The cake (through Custom Cake Design) was phenomenal! My experience dealing with the staff there was pleasant. The food for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding as provided by the Holiday Inn was of great quality! Overall, we were very pleased! Most specifically with Amanda Mowbray, our coordinator!

I had my wedding and reception at the Holiday Inn Gaithersburg. I also stayed at the hotel during my wedding weekend and a special discount was given to my guests for staying in the hotel as well. The bridal suite was very spacious and attractive. The hotel even let us get into the room a day early for a little extra fee, since I didn't want to have to switch rooms during my stay.

Pam the catering manager was so helpful and made sure everything went smoothly for my wedding. She even recommended the dj and another musician (Flynnatra) for my reception music and both turned out great. She was always available by e-mail or phone if I had a question or needed advice.

The chef went out of his way to make a fantastic vegetable wellington for my husband, myself and our other vegetarian guests that was a hit with everyone who tried it.

I would highly recommend the Holiday Inn Gaithersburg. The entire weekend was a great value and the service was terrific. All of my out of town guests felt very welcome and comfortable during their stay.

We worked with Amanda Mowbray to arrange the reception, including where everyone would be or what event would take place at any given hour or half-hour, who our DJ would be, the food that would be served, the decorations, the table placement--everything. Our time spent with her showed us that she cared very much about making the reception go smoothly and she was very personable in her interactions with us. At the time of the reception, there were guests who we did not know were coming, and other guests we were expecting who could not make it, and fairly quickly, things were rearranged. One criticism we have: Fees were worked out at that time as well, because of the last-minute guests, which we were not really in a frame of mind to handle at that point. (Later, we got things all squared away when it was figured that about the same number of uninvited guests came as places for guests who could not come.) Overall, we were very happy with the way everything went.

Amanda was simply wonderful to work with. She was very professional and punctual with responding to any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend any new engaged couple to have the reception at this venue. The decor and hospitality was great and we couldn't have asked for more. The price you pay verses the services you receive are above average and we were very pleased. Amanda not only was responsive but was actaully more of a confident as she guided us throught this process. With her great attitude and upbeat personality it made it easy for us on our wedding day as we trusted that she would have everything to run smoothly.

All the wedding services provided were excellent; this venue was a great value for the money and very professionally managed. Although we had a slight problem with the shower in our room, the staff was professional, attentive, and flexible in working with us around this issue. However, the front desk manager on Sunday (29JUNE) was very rude and not cooperative in helping us to resolve the remaining issues with our room. Other than that, we had a great experience with the Holiday Inn and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great place to host an event.

Pam Luben, our wedding coordinator, was exceptional! She paid attention to every detail and thought of things that even I didn't. I would HIGHLY reccommend this hotel for your reception. The fod was delicious and the cake was very tasty!

Overall the reception was great. They decorated just the way I had requested. I just wish my "planner" had stepped in and helped the transitions a little bit better. Chicken marsala didnt have the same taste as the tasteing. Serlion was amazing though. I chose not to have rice and was able to substitute a vegie tray. Was disappointed that I only recieved one vegie tray for 100 people to snack on. Some people didnt even know it was there. I didn't know it was there untill I walked to the back corner of the room to talk to someone. Overall was happy though. For someone like me whose buget was SMALLLLLL. Great value.

We secured Holiday Inn for our wedding ceremony/reception venue since we wanted everything in one place. The ballroom reservation was a cinch to reserve, but the planning and the meetings took months of to work out until the last month before the wedding were we able to get everything on in agreeable sense.

If you're interested in this hotel, call ahead and set up an appointment. The earlier you do it, the better chance you have of securing the date you want. Calling is always the best method. Emails can sometimes be confusing, so it's best to either call or meet face to face.

Food was not as good as when provided at the tasting. They forgot to order chair covers for my ceremony room. At the bar they refused to serve vodka shots without ice although the guests insisted otherwise.

Otherwise, the wedding suite they provided was pretty nice...
