About

While The Historic Holly Hotel is known as a destination restaurant for elegant dining, it is also a perfect setting for weddings and other private social gatherings. Even the smallest dinner party takes on an air of panache and sophistication when held at the Holly Hotel, and weddings, anniversaries, and other milestone events become memories of a lifetime.

Imagine announcing your engagement in the intimate but legendary Main Dining Room, which hosted the private engagement party of Tommy Dorsey and actress Patricia Dane in the 40's. Or perhaps professing your vows in the President's Room, with its Circassian walnut paneled walls and gas-lit mahogany bar, where George and Barbara Bush dined in 1992.

From invitations to wedding cakes, floral creations to memorable farewells, trust the Historic Holly Hotel to simplify your planning and make your wedding day everything you have ever dreamed.

We can provide an exclusive selection of specialists who can assist you with all the details of your wedding, including florists, decorators, musicians, DJ's, orchestras and photographers, as well as printed materials.

Gerri and the Holly Hotel staff were amazing to work with for my wedding. We decided to go with the Holly Hotels chef selection for dinner and couldn't have been happier. Even though we worked with the chef designing the menu and several courses he still ended up surprising us! Everything was delicious and exactly how we wanted to share our day with out family!

The Holly Hotel has a very dear position in our hearts. My husband and I went here on one of our dates in the very beginning and this has become "Our Place". We decided to have an outdoor ceremony with reception here.

While Trisha was here, she was fabulous. She left to seek other opportunities, but she was wonderful. Filling her shoes, with a heavy load but a courageous attitude is Terry. WE. LOVE. TERRY. We can not stress this enough. Terry worked endlessly to fix any issues and make this day wonderful. We truly enjoyed working with Terry on this wedding. We were even a little sad at the end because the day was over and we weren't going to be able to plan anymore with him. At least we get to see him again since we are members.

We recommend the Holly Hotel for all your party and wedding needs. The space is smaller, but it was perfect for our 85 guests.

Thank you so much to George, Chrissy, Kim (who just came in and did an EXCELLENT job), and Terry along with the Holly Hotel staff.

Very flexible and worked with us to get exactly what we wanted.

Took too long to answer emails, in my opinion, but I know they have a wedding almost every weekend and are very busy.

I wasn't happy with my bouquets, I don't think the florist listened to me at all, but everything else was perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
