    Dream Wedding

    Our friends and family , all from up north, loved the convenience of having all the wedding events in one location. The staff was so attentive to all our needs at the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. They made us feel like Caitlin and Brendan's wedding was the most important event of the year. It was beautiful and everything the bride and groom had dreamed of for their beach wedding.

    Amazing vendor, event planner, and beautifully renovated!

    We were married at Holiday Inn oceanfront on July 24th, 2020. Lesley was spot on fantastic when my now husband and I contacted her to help us plan our wedding in less than 2 weeks (during a pandemic)! She was extremely professional, quick to reply to any questions we had, and planned our day to perfection! The newly renovated Oasis room was beautiful and perfect for our small intimate reception. The staff was professional and our bartender was amazing (our guest raved about his excellent attentiveness and service!). We couldn't be happier about choosing this location for our special day.
    Happily Married,
    Jimmie and Heather Ross

    Responsive and Helpful

    The Coordinator at the Holiday Inn, Ms. Montee was phenomenal. During the planning of my daughter's wedding, CoVid came along and things came to a halt. As South Carolina started opening up, I contacted Ms. Montee and she assured my daughter and I all would be fine. And, it was. The food was wonderful, the reception staff was great and all was well. The ceremony on the outside deck in the morning was just as we all imagine; breathtaking. I would recommend the Holiday Inn for anyone's wedding, big or small.

    Lesley, Lauren and the other staff did awesome job putting our wedding together. The food was great. I send them pictures how I wanted the display and they put a smile on my face. They are easy to work with. They were like friends to me. I enjoyed having phone conversations and email with them. They were easily to work with.

    We had our reception in the oceanfront restaurant at Holiday Inn. How beautiful! The room itself matched our theme/ colors perfectly (we did a rustic beach theme with colors royal blue/ indigo and yellow). The room is beautifully and simply decorated (even before our decorations went up). The decorating team and sales/ catering manager that we worked with, Lesley, were AMAZING. did not give them specific instructions with our burlap/ mason jar/ beach theme, but somehow they knew EXACTLY what I was looking for. Our reception was just so beautiful and I could not have asked for a better team to work with. We also paid an independent planner and I felt that the crew at Holiday Inn were more helpful than the planner! Always kept in close touch, and were so easy to work with long distance (we live in New York).

    The perfect wedding venue!

    We got married there on July 3, 2022 and it was an amazing and magical experience! The staff was very detail-oriented and gave us everything we needed to make the day perfect! The food is very good, too and the location is on a gorgeous beach! I highly recommend them!

    Excellent Service

    This venue first caught my attention because the price was far better than other venues near Myrtle Beach. Lesley the event manager was superb, we were making plans from a country away and she made it a breeze with constant communication. The food was great, the staff the night of were the sweetest and ensured we were taken well care of. This venue met my expectations and then some.

    Lesley was perfect. Her and her staff were quick and readily available to not only myself but my family that either had questions or needed something. And let's talk about the food. I haven't had better catered food in my life!!! My husband and I received nothing but great remarks. Especially about the mac n cheese and the broccoli cheese. Thank you so much for everything!!

    We could not be happier with having our reception at Holiday Inn. To be honest we never intended on getting married on the beach. It was really because of wedding wire and reaching out to different vendors that we chose HI. Lesley was super responsive and helped us so much! I cannot thank Lesley and the staff at HI enough for making our day even more special! I highly recommend using HI for your reception venue.
