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.

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!

this is the chic fil a of wedding venues.

We can not say enough good things about the Holiday Inn as our wedding venue. We chose this venue because their layout is perfect for a big wedding without it being crowded! Our experience with Alex helped ease so many fears and questions leading up to the wedding day-I probably sent her at least an email a day for two weeks & each time, she answered so fast and it was things she already had under control! I cannot praise the staff enough with how well organized they were throughout the day (especially during dinner), and how welcoming, nice, and attentive to our guests they were! The staff took care of every little detail the whole day. From ensuring people came in the right doors, to taking our gifts and cards to a secure room throughout the evening. This venue really makes you a priority from leading up to the wedding all the way until the next morning.

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!
