It was a great blessing to have my wedding at Holiday Inn & Suites Universal, my wedding was planned in 2 months, so I came across allot of closed doors but when i met Ms.Shaquera Annable I knew I'd found the prefect place. The price was within my budget, the location was perfect, the food was on point, everyone of the staff I came across was the GREATEST. I wish I could remember all their names though...my wedding day, PERFECT!

I absolutely loved working with Shaquera at the Holiday Inn when planning my wedding. It was so nice to be able to have a place that was almost a complete one-stop-shop. I wasn't wanting to spend a ton of money for the wedding and I didn't have a lot of time to be going from vendor to vendor scheduling things. We were able to rent the facility at a low cost and not have to worry about renting tables, linens or center pieces - it was all available. They also catered the event with great food. Scheduling a taste testing was easy and convenient. I never felt nagged or pressured into anything - which made me very happy. We were able to stay within our budget. We were also able to find a DJ through the hotel as well. I enjoyed our experience very much and wouldn't have changed it at all. Thanks Shaquera!

We had a very positive experience with this vendor. They were very responsive and great for the price when conpared to other vendors

Great service. The food was not the greatest, but all in all great location, service, atmosphere. The events manager Yuk Lane made us feel like family. The pictures attached are the work of my decorator, but just showing what the room can look like.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
