Amazing Wedding

First and foremost I would like to say that Jennifer Petri was incredible; professional, timely, sweet, very attentive, attention to detail and most of all I would like to say that she is truly an asset to your establishment. From the day we began planning our wedding, Jenn was so helpful with every aspect of our special day. The servers and bartender were all great. I have never been to a wedding where every single person raved about the food; from the appetizer to the meals. Each meal was served hot, beautiful presentation, and all 3 entree choices were superb!

I would definitely recommend this venue and most of all, Jennifer Petri.

Thank you for making our day special.

A Wonderful, Unforgettable Experience

We had a wonderful experience having our reception at the Holiday Inn! It came out better than what we anticipated. Jennifer, Catering Sales Manager, worked really hard to help make our vision and dreams come true. Our guests could not stop complimenting on how gorgeous the set up was and how delicious the food was. We highly recommend Holiday Inn. They made wedding planning seamless and stress-free!

Does not disappoint!

We loved our whole wedding experience here! Julie Tierney was so attentive to all our needs! Every detail that I had expressed was taken care of. Anything we needed she was there with a lending hand! I looked for the best when I booked my wedding, and hands down I got the best! Decor was great! Lovely choices for colors, and center pieces. The price was great as well! Super clean! Food was excellent! Everyone complimented how lovely everything was, I am so thankful for her! Please contact Julie she truly is amazing!

Julie was incredible to work with! The catering staff at our reception were stellar, and the food was amazing!!! We were blown away at our tasting!

Julie and her team did such a wonderful job catering our wedding reception at the Canfield Casino! She was so knowledgeable about the space, and helped us pick the room layout, linen arrangements, and the order of events for the reception. She was very open and warm with communication, and extremely organized. The catering staff at our reception were stellar and polite to all of our guests. And the food was amazing!!! We were blown away at our tasting, and our guests raved about the food. Holiday Inn not only had a package that worked for our budget but also had key elements we were looking for (an open bar, cocktail hour, champagne toast…etc). In addition, Debbie Coye, who made our wedding cake with Holiday Inn, not only makes the most beautiful cakes, but she is now also one of our favorite people. We would use and recommend Holiday Inn’s catering services not only for any wedding reception again, but catering for any event. Thank you Julie and your team for all your amazing work, and for helping make our wedding so special and memorable!

Wonderful Wedding Experience

Julie Tierney, the wedding coordinator, was the absolute best to work with! She was so professional and quick to respond with emails. We were very happy to have her the day of the wedding as she made everything run so smoothly! During cocktail hour Julie helped set up a small private table with appetizers for just the two of us. It was so nice to spend a few minutes as a newly married couple before making our entrance to the reception. The food was amazing and both the ceremony and reception spaces were decorated better than I could’ve imagined. The cake was done by Debbie Coye and part of our package - not only was it gorgeous but it was also delicious! The staff were all professional and made sure we had everything that we needed. We are so glad we had our wedding at the Holiday Inn, it was truly the best day of our lives!

A+ Experience from Beginning to End

The Holiday Inn at Saratoga Springs delivered a dream come true wedding experience. The food was excellent (people are still talking about it). Julie and her team were helpful, fun, knowledgeable, professional, and all the other positive adjectives that I cannot think of right now. We are so glad we decided to have all three big events, (rehearsal dinner, reception, and breakfast) at the Holiday Inn. Across the board - again - the food was delicious. Our room was spectacular, it was clean and spacious, and most importantly puppy approved. When we look back on the weekend of our wedding, we really wouldn't have changed a thing.

Made planning from abroad a breeze!

Holiday Inn Saratoga was not only a gorgeous venue in beautiful city, but it's inclusive packages, with catering, linens, and even cake, made it so easy to plan our wedding near my hometown while we live abroad. We flew in for the wedding and had an amazing time! Everything went very smoothly and our coordinator, Julie, was very helpful by email, always responding within a (business) day or 2! We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our wedding, reception, and rehearsal dinner.

Absolutely Wonderful

Julie is one of the best event coordinator’s I have ever worked with. She is incredibly helpful and resourceful. She even researched lighting vendors in our area so get us the best price for blue lights!
The hotel staff were great ensuring our time there was excellent. The food was delicious and my guests had a blast. The hotel also has center pieces if you need or will set up the ones you provide. We were able to use a conference room to get ready and take pictures in an area next to it. Additionally, there is a stairway behind the hotel that leads directly into Congress park. We were able to take beautiful pictures there. 10/10 I would recommend.

Amazing Service

We got married on 10/9/21 but started the planning process in 2020 - right in the beginning of Covid. However, this whole process from start to finish was made extremely easy for us with the Holiday Inn. Julie and staff were always so attentive and helpful. They made our special day go off without any issues, from setting up the ton of decorations I brought in, to making sure Hors d'oeuvre were saved for me when I couldn't enjoy cocktail hour because of taking photos. The Holiday Inn made sure my wedding was perfect and it definitely was a perfect day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Julie and her team are always pleasure to work with. The food is excellent, the services is first class and they are steps away from some of the most beautiful places in the Capital Region for wedding pictures. With the hotel on premises, their clients can party and have fun and simply walk to their room for a relaxing stay with out worry. I highly recommend the Holiday Inn for weddings and gatherings!
