Holiday Inn Harrisburg East

Brenda was WONDERFUL! There was one thing that could have been catostrophic, our block of rooms were not booked properly. However, this was taken care of quickly and the GM of the hotel called me and asked if there was additionally anything that he could do. The amount of money that we paid compared to what we received was great! We had a wonderful wedding and would use this hotel again.

Brenda and her staff were an amazing group to work with. They made the wedding planning seem as smooth and easy as possible. Their wide selection of choices made it personal, as well as their felxibility to customize things to make our wedding day the best it could be. Brenda is very professional, proficient, as well as personal with all the requirements for a wedding. Couldn't have asked for a better group to work with

Wonderful place for a reception! Everyone agreed that the food was AMAZING! The staff could not have more more polite and accomodating! Brenda is a true professional! Best night of my life!!!

Brenda and all the event staff at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg East are fantastic to work with. We had the ceremony out on the deck and then proceeded to the Pennsylvania Ballroom for the reception. The food is phenomenal, with lots of compliments from guests. It is by far one of the best values you can find with tax and gratuity included within the price per person.The hotel provides you with a complimentary suite on your wedding night and a bottle of champagne. Brenda was extremely helpful with any questions that came up during the planning stage. We had a breakfast with a few of our guests who stayed at the hotel and were given a private room to do so. Be sure to add this venue to your list when you are researching, you may just end up writing a review of your own.

The Holiday Inn Harrisburg East is a wonderful choice for a classy and cost-effective reception! Brenda Ryneski (Sales Manager/our contact person) walked us through the entire planning process, promptly answered all of our questions, and even offered recommendations for a DJ and other vendors when we requested some guidance. Victor (Banquet Captain) and the entire staff gave us the VIP treatment throughout the wedding weekend. Plus, our guests, who traveled from as far as India and New Zealand, enjoyed the overnight accommodations and the hotel's beautiful Easter Brunch on the morning after the reception. We will always have fond memories of dining and dancing in the Pennsylvania Ballroom and our wedding-night stay in the beautiful and spacious Presidential Suite.

I can't say enough about Brenda and the staff at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg East. We just had my daughter's wedding there and everything was absolutly perfect. the food is great, the service is second to none, and the value for your money is exceptional. My daughter and her husband were extremely happy with their suite they were given, it was so beautifully decorated and it was very obvious staff took pride in what they were doing. They wanted it to be special...and it was. Brenda was extremly helpful with everything and very accommodating. We had a breakfast for our guests who stayed at the hotel on Sunday and once again, everything was great. Staff are always very helpful. You simply cannot go wrong with this venue. you will NOT be disappointed.

Brenda handles everything in such a wonderful way!! Everyone is still telling me how great the food was. The front desk lost one of my large deposits & Brenda reimbursed me for the stop payment fee that my bank charged me!! Overall, a wonderul place for my special day.

I can not thank the staff at the Holiday inn East enough for helping to pull together our perfect day! Brenda Ryneski was excellent to work with! She made sure everything went according to plan and I did not have to worry! Our guests really had a great time! The staff there is top notch!

Everyone was very kind and professional. The room was decorated beautifully, and the food was terrific!

They did such a great job. Everything went so smoothly. The food and cake was great. It couldn't been any better.

Brenda Ryneski was a delight to work with. She is very professional and is a master of their craft. She went above and beyond for me. I would recommend this venue and Brenda to everyone! I can not thank her enough for making my dream wedding come true!

We were very pleased with the service we received. Brenda Ryneski made our wedding go very smoothly. We had a great time and we had a wonderful wedding reception!!

When I lost my menue, the coordinator read off the menue for me!

The Holiday Inn Harrisburg East was a wonderful place for our wedding reception. Brenda Ryneski was helpful and very pleasant. One of the biggest reasons we picked the Holiday Inn Harrisburg East was we did not want to have anything to worry about with the reception set up or prep on the day of the wedding. We were confident that the team would have the room set for us upon arrival - they took care of favors, place card settings and organizing with our other vendors (DJ/photographer). The room was beautiful and the servers were professional. We also liked the layout of the room. The tables surrounded the dance floor in a circle. It was nice because all people were able to see anything that was going on such as the special dances and cake cutting. I highly recommend this venue to people looking for a beautiful and organized reception!

We had our Reception in the Pennsylvania Ballroom at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg East. My bridal party got ready for the wedding at the hotel, so I was able to check on the banquet room periodically throughout the day. The staff setting up the room was very funny and polite. Even the Maintenance Staff was wonderful in several ways throughout the day with various items needed. The front desk staff was very pleasant and the guests who stayed overnight had nothing but positive things to say about the staff and hotel itself. The food was delectable and the Pennsylvania Ballroom brought tears to my eyes when my husband and I were able to preview the room prior to cocktail hour. It was perfect! Brenda and Lars and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and pleasant from day one through the entire night. Everything went so smoothly. I do not hesitate in the least to recommend the Holiday Inn East to anyone getting married. Thank you Brenda for all of your hard work in making our day so beautiful! - Joe & Chrissy K.

Brenda was fantastac to work with, and the package deal, which included the reception venue/food, wedding cake and flowers was by far the best deal around. We really got our money's worth and didn't have to shop around for cake and flower vendors since we just used the ones the hotel works with. Great deal! We did struggle a bit with the personality of the florist which was a bit stressful, but in the end the flowers were GORGEOUS so it worked out! And the cake was perfect. The hotel staff was incredible - everything was taken care of perfectly. The food was great, the room was beautiful and I couldn't as for more!

We worked with a woman at the hotel who was on maternity leave close to and during our wedding, BUT she still came and oversaw everything that night. We were happy overall with our reception, but there were a few little things that weren't "as planned." Such as: We'd requested one type of potato and when we got our meals it was a different type; they did not have the air turned on when we arrived and as the room filled it became very hot very fast; we had candles on the tables which people were intended to be used for decoration, they thought they were favors and put one at each place, unlit! Like I said, overall we were happy, but there were just some little things that made us irked a little.
