Wedding 14/09/24

In the opinion of myself and Lauren, the whole day, venue, staff and everything inbetween was everything we could have ever dreamed of, the vendors we hired were all fantastic. Angela and Rebecca were the 2 names I remembered who stood out and made everything absolutely perfect. The only downside to the whole day was our guests all mentioned that they all paid different prices for virtually the same rooms with one guest paying nearly £250 for 1 room for 2 nights whereas another guest only paid roughly £150 for 1 room for 2 nights. Some guests fed back that rooms were not the best with the sofa beds being broken, there not being enough room for 3 people in a “family room”. None of this was a problem for Lauren and I but just minor faults fed back from guests.

Holiday inn runcorn

From the very first contact with everyone at the holiday inn, we have been treated with warmth and professionalism from the ladies at head office, and then all the staff at the holiday inn runcorn especially Rebecca she is honestly the best wedding organiser you could not wish for a better person to make sure everything runs smoothly.

The wedding day was brilliant we did not have to worry about a thing Rebecca and all her staff had everything in hand.

The Food, Well what can I say it blew everyone away it was far and beyond what are exspections was. The afternoon meal was fantastic and then the night time food was incredible we had so many people remark afterwards about how good it all was.

If your thinking about this venue I promise you won't regret it.

Our wedding day was perfect!

Our wedding day was just amazing! We've had loads of guests saying its the best wedding they've ever been to, that kind of says it all.
We were over the moon with everything, Beth and Angela are absolute stars, the staff were amazing, the food was amazing, the whole day was perfect. We can't thank you enough, we want to do it all again!
From booking our wedding through to the big day itself was a stress free experience, even when we made a couple of alterations to proceedings along the way, Angela & Beth were more than accomodating.
Thank you again, you really helped making our special day such an epic event.
Highly recommend Holiday Inn Runcorn.

Our Perfect Wedding Day ❤️

From the day we booked our wedding with the Holiday Inn, Runcorn, everything was handled professionally and with world class customer service.

On the day, we felt everything ran so smoothly and we really appreciated the care and attention we received from every member of staff in the whole hotel.

The organisation of our day was impeccable.

Thank you so much to Angela and the whole team for making us feel so special and for taking care of the whole day. Excellent service, immaculate rooms, fabulous food, perfect function rooms - what a day to remember! x

My husband and I would just like to formally thank everyone at the Holiday Inn, Runcorn.

Karen, your service from us visiting for the first time, to our wedding was second to non. The planning meetings and making sure everyone knew what we wanted. The staff couldn't do enough for us, on our day. If I could give you all 10 we would!
A special mention also to Pete on the day and Sam in the function bar! ?????
Thank you once again for supporting us on our special day.

Daughters wedding

My daughter got married at the holiday inn in July this year , I cannot praise Andrea and her staff enough. They all bent over backwards to make the day special the food was delicious , my daughter had made the table decorations herself and the staff had dressed the tables just how she wanted them . The staff were attentive friendly and cheerfull and shared our enjoyment of the day.
Thank you all so much.

Massive Thankyou!

Hi Karol

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your team for the fantastic job you did for our wedding reception, myself, Chris and all our guests had an amazing time. Big thanks to Jason and David, there was an issue with the sweet cart as the lady never arrived but they created a wonderful display with the addition sweets that we brought so no one knew.

Once again thanks from us both for making our day just perfect!!!
