An amazing day

We chose to have a church wedding and then chose the grand marquee at the Holiday Inn - Dover for the wedding breakfast and evening reception. It was the best decision we made. Not only was there so much flexibility but the cost was so reasonable.

Sashen the wedding planner really worked hard to ensure we had a really special day. At each point Sashen confirmed and double checked all the finer details.

On the day, everything went perfectly. The venue worked with our suppliers to ensure the marquee looked stunning and with the warm glow of the fairy lights just added the finishing touch.

The waiting team were outstanding and they were so attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and everyone complimented us on how lovely it was but also how everyone was served at the same time which we know is not always an easy task at a big event like a wedding. But us and our guests were impressed but how the food was plentiful and still piping hot. We definitely liked the selection of courses available and our guests loved being able to have a choice.

So many of our guests commented on the politeness of the food and beverage team but how good the staff were at keeping the wait at the bar down.

The room we slept in had been decorated and a complimentary bottle of bubbly and chocolate strawberries were left for us to enjoy which was such a lovely touch.

Perfect venue for our big family wedding

This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding,

From the first moment we visited we knew that it was the place for us.

We wanted an afternoon wedding with one meal sitting so we could have all guests to the whole day. We went for their twilight package which was amazing value and we upgraded the buffet to a hog roast. The food was stunning, I’ve had nothing but complements.

When the day came, nothing was too much. The amazing wedding coordinator was on hand all day to make sure it all went smoothly, we had brought our own cakes which they displayed perfectly, even labelling them for us when we forgot, and they were very understanding when we ran slightly behind, anything they did on the day they made sure to run past me to make sure that it was what I wanted. Both Sashen and Grace were wonderful and on hand the whole day to answer any questions I had.

At every point during my experience with The Holiday Inn Dover I was listened to and any questions I had were answered swiftly: they were very good when we tailored the package to our need, adding and exchanging parts to make it exactly how we wanted it to be.

The DJ was included in the package and he was fantastic taking everything I asked for into account and was very patient when we were asking for new songs on the day.

The marquee was perfect and such a beautiful setting for our special day. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

I highly recommend this venue for any weddings and special events and if you are being seen by Sashen then you are very lucky, he is such a lovely person and again nothing is too much!
