Amazing wedding venue

We had our wedding here and it was amazing. Barney the Event Planner was AMAZING. I cannot put into words how easy she made my wedding planning by handling everything when it came to the reception. When the Hurricanes hit FL she helped us come up with a back up plan since the wedding was supposed to be on the beach. We cannot thank you enough for everything she did for us. The staff that helped with the wedding was too notch. They were super friendly and helpful
THANK YOU ALL FOR SUCH AN AMAZING DAY. ♥️♥️

My husband and I were so thrilled to have our reception at Jimmy Guanas restaurant. All of our guests booked rooms on the property and were all very happy. The accomodations, the kindness, and the patience with our wedding party was perfect. The catering department did an excellent job. The food was delicious, the room was beautiful, and the service was great. The property has so much to offer. Just wish the waterpark section was open. It was such a hot weekend. The pools were just fine though. We are so appreciative to everyone that was involved in our special day at Holiday Inn Harbourside Indian Rocks Beach. Thank you all!

Barney - We wanted you to know that we had a great time!!! The Reception was perfect. Everyone loved the food and we did too, it was really good, especially the Anti Pasta salad. Troy our server was fantastic, he was very attentive and very kind. All of the servers at the inside and outside bars were all so nice too. The room was great and the view was awesome. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a perfect honeymoon weekend.

We've had the good fortune of working at the Holiday Inn Harbourside many times over the years and must say it is truly a lovely venue for a wedding or other special event. Their catering manager, Barney, is so sweet and a true joy to work with. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, not to mention the great location right near the Gulf of Mexico. I've heard of many successful and fun after parties at Jimmy Guana's as well. If you are thinking about having your wedding ceremony and reception there, don't hesitate to book. You will not be disappointed!
