Brian and Raelene Gervinski - May 16, 2009 Brian and I dated for over 5 years so when we got engaged in March of 2008, we both knew we needed to find a large, affordable, nice reception area for all our friends and family to come celebrate our wedding day! When Brian and I walked into the Holiday Inn for our first meeting with Marybeth, we saw a Welcome & Congrats Raelene and Brian sign posted in the entryway. We booked our wedding reception at the Holiday Inn West that very day! Being a very organized and detailed person and bride, the Holiday Inn provided a helpful guide of when payments were due, when to schedule meetings, review the food menu, and drop off the wedding reception items. The Wedding specialists went over and beyond what I expected. The service was superb during the months of wedding planning and all the way up to the wedding day! The Holiday Inn made accommodations for our large group of out of town guests; over 230 people attended the wedding reception. Brian and I wanted to have a fun, Pittsburgh themed wedding with black and gold linens, centerpieces, and favors; The Holiday Inn did just that! Everyone had a GREAT TIME! Stephanie, our maitre de for the evening, was EXCELLENT! Just try to imagine the two families she had to deal with…. one family is Polish and one family is German/Italian , but when she walked us to our room that night she still had a huge smile on her face. Now that our wedding day, May 16, 2009, has come and gone, I think back to our wedding day and there is not one thing I regret or would like to do better. The entire wedding weekend was so much fun! We would like to thank Marybeth, Dana, Lori, Stephanie, the Chef from Portage, PA and all the other staff that helped our wedding day be memorable!
