At the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Dakota Dunes – Event Center (located in the Sioux City area), we know wedding planning usually begins long before an engagement. We want to make every vision you’ve had for your wedding a reality, and we will do everything we can to make your experience enjoyable. It’s our goal to make sure your first step into the next chapter of your life is memorable in the best way and reflects your unique vision. We cater to weddings large and small, with enough event space to host up to 450 guests and the ability to partition the room into a more intimate space for smaller gatherings.

Our stunning event space features a modern look with neutral colors, which creates the perfect backdrop for any style of décor, from lavish to minimal. Although our event space is amazing (really, we could talk about it all day), what steals the show is our caring staff. We love what we do. There is nothing more rewarding than the glow of a newly married couple and the loving friends and family surrounding them. We strive to create a warm, attentive environment, and our team works very hard to make sure that no detail is left unnoticed. We are eager to assist in any way, from start to finish; no request is too small!

When booking our event space, you are choosing a great location at an exceptional value. Here are just a few of the perks included in the room booking fee:

  • Stage & skirting for the head table
  • Black, white, or ivory table linens
  • Gift table and guest book table
  • Colored napkins
  • Setup, teardown, and clean-up of the event space
  • Flatware, glassware, and fine china

Amazing venue

We hosted our wedding reception at the Holiday Inn Express & Dakota Dunes Event Center, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! Danielle and her team were absolutely amazing. Even when the original planner left during our planning phases, Danielle stepped in seamlessly and made everything stress-free. She was incredibly attentive, organized, and thoughtful throughout the entire process.

The event center setup was beautiful and exactly what we envisioned. Danielle even went above and beyond by offering to host our outdoor ceremony indoors in case of rain, which gave us such peace of mind. Thankfully, the weather held out, but her thoughtfulness didn’t go unnoticed.

All of our guests loved their stay at the Holiday Inn Express. The rooms were comfortable, and having the reception and accommodations in one location was so convenient for everyone. The team’s hard work and attention to detail truly made our day perfect.

If you’re considering hosting an event here, I highly recommend it. Danielle and her team will take excellent care of you!

MUST book!

June 1st, 2019 is a day that we will never forget! We held our wedding reception at the Holliday Inn Express & Suites in the Dakota Dunes and we could not have asked for a more perfect venue. The space is beautiful, immaculate, and easily adaptable to any theme! The staff was WONDERFUL - so courteous, helpful, and accommodating during every step of the planning, setting up, during the event, and even days to weeks afterwards. We worked very closely with Lauren - she is an angel!

We would 12/10 recommend the Holiday Inn, Dakota Dunes - Event Center for your special day!!

Beautiful Place

I chose this place because I knew how great it would be. I used to work weddings there previously. They were very attentive, staff was very friendly, set up was beautiful and they definitely made our day even more special. I would recommend them to anyone who asks, because you will not be disappointed!
