Chelsea Sent on 11/08/2024Fairytale Wedding Weekend!
Wow! What a perfect day!
I was a wedding planner for three years, I’ve worked nearly a thousand weddings at multiple venues, and I can say with confidence that the level of care and attention given by Holiday Valley Wedding coordinators Kristy and Jolene was beyond measure. The wedding went perfectly.Holiday Valley's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind review Chelsea!! It's always extra nice to receive this kind of feedback from someone who has also worked in the industry. Wishing you and your husband all the happiness for years to come! -Kristy C. -

We had an absolute blast hosting our wedding at Holiday Valley. The staff was incredibly communicative and professional. My venue coordinator (Kristy) went above and beyond with answering my never-ending questions not only with patience but also kindness and compassion. Everything went off without a hitch and I would have my wedding here ten times over again! -

Margaret Sent on 09/20/2024Best wedding venue ever!
We booked the Yodeler Lodge for our August 2024 wedding and could not have been happier. We had our ceremony and reception at the lodge and it was the most perfect day.
Holiday Valley went above and beyond. We worked Jolene and she was so helpful and just an absolute joy to work with. She answered all of our questions and never made any request seem like it was something they couldn’t do. She had wonderful recommendations and made sure everything was seamless for our big day. She truly brought everything we had in mind to life. The entire wedding planning process can be stressful but choosing Holiday Valley as our venue was the easiest decision. It was such a stress free experience. The entire staff on our wedding day was friendly, attentive and so helpful. Special thanks to Preston who made sure we had anything we might need the entire night.
Holiday Valley was able to help with accommodations for our guests and we loved seeing our family and friends get to enjoy all that the town of Ellicottville has to offer.
All of our guests noted how terrific the food was, how friendly every staff member was and just how breathtaking the venue truly is.
We can not thank Holiday Valley, Jolene and all of the staff that made our special day so perfect. -

Kaitlyn Sent on 11/15/2023We LOVED Holiday Valley!
We booked Holiday Valley back in September 2021 for our October 2023 wedding. Jolene was amazing with laying out exactly what Holiday Valley had to offer and listened to what we wanted and explained how they could make it work. Jolene and Kristy were really flexible with us (me) when I was overwhelmed and didn't respond right away. They communicated with me through the whole process and truly made me feel so special. The day of our wedding, it was raining and cold, but Jolene had maintenance bring up heaters to Yodeler from the Main Lodge. They adapted with whatever punches rolled our way and really anticipated what would work best, and they were right! I didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day and our guests LOVED the food. (Hint: Get the Mashed Potato bar, it's STILL a topic of conversation from our guests!). Book at Holiday Valley - it's beautiful, and the staff was absolutely amazing. Our servers and bartenders the night of the wedding were absolutely AMAZING and so fun to work with. We are so happy we booked with Holiday Valley. A wedding is a huge cost but it was so worth it. -

Ashley Sent on 07/25/2023The Perfect Weekend
We did our whole wedding weekend at Holiday Valley: from the rehearsal dinner, to wedding day, to brunch the morning after, and we couldn’t have been happier. The Holiday Valley team was so helpful with every step, they really went above and beyond for us. The Resort is beautiful inside and outside and the staff there definitely takes pride in everything they do. Can’t recommend them more! -

Where do I even begin?! Katelyn and Jolene were incredible. Every question was answered, every day of wedding issue was solved, and everything turned out amazingly. Yodeler Lodge was very easy to work with and everything turned out beautifully. From breathtaking fall views, to an amazing shuttle driver who even held an umbrella for me during my first look, to the DELICIOUS food that was cooked to perfection… I wouldn’t change a thing. I would do it all over again. -

Andrea Sent on 11/05/2020Superior Customer Service!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Katelyn and Holiday Valley Resort. From day 1 last year Katelyn has been responsive, kind, sweet and genuine. This past year has been beyond stressful for everyone in the wedding community especially us couples but Katelyn went over and beyond for us and we couldn’t be more thankful having her on our side! Our dream was to get married in Ellicottville at Holiday Valley and Katelyn helped to make it happen! We would recommend Holiday Valley over and over again! Thank you for such an amazing day! -

Laura Sent on 11/03/2020Beautiful Fall Wedding
Although we had a pandemic on our hands, Katelyn Tekavec bent over backwards for us to make our day so special. Being an out of town bride was difficult in itself, but Katelyn continued to make herself available for my husband and I, even if we had a video call here and there. We cannot wait to have our celebration next year with all the rest of our family and friends so they can experience all that Holiday Valley has to offer. -

Ashley Sent on 01/26/2020Perfect Fall Wedding!
Katelyn was so great to work with throughout the planning process! She was very responsive to all of our questions, big or small. We had both our ceremony and reception at Holiday Valley and everything moved along seamlessly. We also had the chairlift open for cocktail hour, which was a big hit with guests! We had an absolutely perfect fall day and the view at the top of the hill was stunning! The reception staff was very professional and attentive. One nice touch was that Holiday Valley provides a head waitress that is solely dedicated to the wedding party. Our head waitress was amazing! She had drinks ready for us immediately following the ceremony and made sure we had everything we needed all night! Another nice touch - since its hard to enjoy your meal while trying to say hello and thank all of your guests, Holiday Valley gives both the bride and groom an extra meal to take home to enjoy later. My only complaint about the venue was with reserving room blocks. It was a semi-destination wedding (one hour drive) for us, so many guests were staying the night. We were told we could only block 10 rooms at a time which we did over a year in advance. By the time we sent out invitations (5 months prior to wedding), all of the remaining rooms were booked so we had to look into blocking rooms at a different hotel in town. It would have been nice to get a notice that rooms were filling up so quickly given it was so far in advance. Other than the hotel situation, I cannot say enough good things about having our wedding at Holiday Valley! We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and morning after breakfast all at the venue and it went off without a hitch! Would highly recommend!! -

Katelyn couldn't have made our wedding planning process any easier. She was responsive, professional and most importantly patient. She answered all of my questions with enthusiasm and assured me that everything would go smoothly, and it certainly did. Our location was everything we were looking for and more, and we wouldn't have done things any different. -

Sarah Sent on 10/25/2019100% Recommend for a stress free wedding day
When it came to choosing my wedding venue I knew I wanted a location that was experienced with a full catering package, etc. Also, somewhere with indoor and outdoor ceremony options so that I wouldn't have to worry about the weather.
Yodeler Lodge was the perfect location with the beautiful Champagne Sundeck and lodge for the reception. Katelyn was our Wedding Coordinator and completely exceeded my expectations. I have friends who were getting married at the same time and they struggled to find a reliable person to help with their day that knew the ins & outs of the location of their wedding. I barely had to think of anything in regards to the order of events or vendor coordination because of how meticulous Katelyn was with every detail. She answered all of my questions quickly and went above and beyond to help me with extra details for the day. The food was great and they have wonderful relationships with other DJ, florist, bakery and photography vendors that further helped me narrow down my list for the day.
Also, Ellicottville is a wonderful town to have a wedding!
If you are looking for a full-service wedding venue that will help make your planning easier this is absolutely the place to book... not mention the location is stunning! -

Hosting our wedding at Holiday Valley was truly a dream come true. Jolene was an absolute angel from heaven - super responsive (no matter how random and crazy my questions were); the venue and its views were stunning; the food was delicious; and the entire wedding and catering staff was lovely! -

Amanda Sent on 08/24/2019Just Incredible
I honestly can’t say enough about how amazing Holiday Valley was for our rehearsal and wedding venue. All of the staff are so friendly and nice and willing to help you out in any way to make your wedding weekend perfect. Also, the ground are kept so well - beautiful green grass and colorful flowers everywhere you look. We specifically would like to thank our wedding coordinator, Katelyn, our personal server, Libbi, and one of the managers, Franco, who helped us arrange a last minute transportation service. I highly recommend HV. You will not be disappointed! -

Shannen Sent on 04/29/2019Incredible Venue
We just got married at Holiday Valley in the Yodeler Lodge. Everything from making arrangements to choosing table cloth colors was made simple and easy. The Holiday Valley staff was professional, kind, efficient, and amazing. The food was the best meal I’ve ever had and all the guests couldn’t stop commenting on how they loved it too. We worked with Katelyn and she made everything so easy and organized. No request was ignored or overlooked. Absolutely loved this venue and I do not have a single complaint! -

Jennifer Sent on 01/05/2019Phenomenal venue!
I can’t even describe how happy my husband and I were with having our wedding at Holiday Valley. The day was PERFECT! We did not notice a single thing to go wrong thanks to both Jolene and Kaitlyn who are the coordinators. We worked mostly with Jolene and she was seriously my saving grace. She had such great ideas, kept in touch often, answered my never ending questions, and was always extremely pleasant and professional. We choose Holiday Valley Lodge and it was beyond beautiful. I would choose this venue over and over again. I highly recommend!! -

Jenna Sent on 08/04/2018My husband and I got married at Holiday Valley a few weekends ago and we are extremely happy that we chose to have our wedding there, we had such an amazing day! Our ceremony was held outside on the practice putting green behind the Tamarack and it was BEAUTIFUL -- such a lush green picturesque backdrop.
Our reception took place upstairs at the Holiday Valley Lodge which is truly a top notch site. Two beautiful stone fireplaces, amazing bar area, serene views off the back decks, modern & clean restrooms (with plenty of stalls! no bathroom lines for your guests), etc. etc. We chose to do a buffet style dinner and everything was delicious. The rustic mashed potatoes....YUM. Oh and I can't forget the appetizers! The pot stickers & BLT crostini were SO. GOOD. The head waitress that was assigned to us was such a sweetheart and super attentive! If I remember right her name was Anna. All of our bartenders were so friendly & efficient as well. So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us about how much they enjoyed our wedding, how gorgeous the venue is and how great the food/drinks and service was.
We had the privilege of working with Katelyn throughout the planning process and we cannot say enough good things about her. She was so responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and is truly one of the kindest people. Thanks to her, our entire day went smoothly and was completely stress-free.
I have so many more compliments to give but apparently there is a character limit on here! But seriously, HV is amazing and we can't thank them enough. You won't regret booking your wedding here! -

October wedding at yodeler lodge
We loved our fall wedding at Holiday Valley! We selected the Yodeler Lodge for our venue. We worked with Kristy who was so attentive to every detail, so easy to work with and flexible! We loved how seamless our day went. We elected not to use a wedding planner to save money and I am so happy we did. Holiday valley provided so much for us. Good food and a beautiful venue with tons of natural beauty. We also loved our shuttle driver who was so quick and attentive to all of our guests. 100% recommend holiday valley weddings!Holiday Valley's reply:

Yodeler lodge wedding
We had our wedding at the Yodeler Lodge in September 2024. The venue was absolutely beautiful. Jolene was wonderful to work with. She got right back to us on any questions and walked us through everything. It was everything I could have ever imagined. The time of year was perfect! The leaves were starting to change. Everyone loved the food. It was delicious. As the bride and groom we each got a plate of food to take up with us. It truly was magical.Holiday Valley's reply:
Thank you for your kind review! We are truly honored that you chose Holiday Valley to celebrate your special day. It brings us immense joy to learn that our team exceeded your expectations and played a role in making your dream wedding a reality. Wishing you all the best!
Best regards,
