Guest Reviews

" I had my perfect wedding reception at the Holiday Inn Wilkes Barre - East Mountain on 10/10/15. Sales Manager, Mandy Loeffler handled every detail. She communicated VIA e-mail quickly which was extremely important to me because I was an out-of-town bride. She honestly helped me every step of the way from 12 months out to 1 month out, etc. I worked with her to rent the table linens. I also got a delicious wedding cake that came with the package. The food was overall absolutely delicious. Also, we had our happy hour outside on that beautiful patio. I would totally recommend that to any bride who has a wedding in the fall(luckily the weather cooperated).
If I could go back and plan my wedding from scratch knowing what I know now, I would pick the Holiday Inn Wilkes Barre - East Mountain again. No question about it. I had no stress during the reception."

"We recently had our rehearsal dinner, wedding cocktail hour and reception at the Holiday Inn- East Mountain on July 4, 2015! What EXCEPTIONAL service we received from Mandy and the rest of the staff at the Holiday Inn - East Mountain! Weeks after the wedding we are still receiving compliments at how wonderful our wedding was and how gorgeous the banquet room was that day! Mandy and the entire rest of the staff were so professional and courteous to everyone and helped us out with so many of the details for the wedding day. The Holiday Inn - East Mountain is by far the BEST venue to have a wedding at !!! We wouldn't have had it any other way! They took great care of us from beginning to end."

"Mandy and the rest of the holiday inn-east mountain helped to make my wedding day perfection. From my first contact to the thoughtful email sent from Mandy while on my honeymoon, I do not have a negative thing to say. I knew what I wanted with my wedding- and it was provided beyond my expectations. I did not lift a finger. Pictures were beautiful on the grounds! Complimentary room with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries was adorable ❤️ you can see that Mandy loves her job, and she is amazing it at. Thank You Mandy, Karen, the cooks and the wait staff- you truley are top notch!"

"All staff, especially Mandy, was very friendly, accommodating and resourceful with everything involved with the wedding. Mandy has a calm personality which made me feel at ease for a new, nervous bride.
I had my entire wedding including the ceremony at the Holiday Inn. Mandy and the sales office team were great to deal with from our first meeting to the day of our wedding. They answered all my questions and took care of all my concerns. Karen the food service manager was great the day of my wedding. We had a few last minute special needs and she was quick to take care of them. The hotel staff in general were awesome. From the front desk to the wait staff and even the house keeping staff were a pleasure to deal with. The food was excellent and even my guests complimented us on it. They made our wedding as stress free as possible which allowed us to enjoy our special day. I would highly recommend having any type of event at the Holiday Inn East Mountain. Alicia Why are there not more reviews on Holiday Inn/ EMI? We booked EMI in May 2014 for our Halloween 2014 wedding. Mandy from the sales office was VERY responsive from my first email inquiry, to our first meeting at EMI to tour the venue, to the numerous phone calls the day of our wedding. She seems to be always available and always there to answer any question from the color of their napkins to how many people are able to fit at a table. This is one of the reasons I booked with EMI, great first impression and attention to detail. I was apprehensive about my wedding being at a Holiday Inn, given the HI reputation, but I swear ladies, they will NOT disappoint you. The staff at this hotel is top notch and made sure every little detail of our day was perfect. Both Mandy and Karen make a GREAT team and worked well together to ensure a very smooth day for everyone involved. They took the time to coordinate with all our vendors from our cake delivery, DJ, linens, and everything in between. I walked in to the ballroom the day of my wedding and I could not believe what I saw- they surpassed whatever vision I had in my head and really brought everything to life. Their added touches were amazing and I could not thank them enough for making our day so memorable. Please check out the newly remodeled EMI, I swear for the quality, price, staff, and their attention to detail, you will so happy you did!"

"We had our cocktail hour & reception here and everything was top notch! We also had a photos taken on the grounds because the scenery is so beautiful there! Mandy Loeffler & all of the staff were just outstanding to work with. They really went above & beyond to make our day very special. We felt very comfortable reaching out to Mandy with any questions we had along the way. She went out of her way to make us feel completely at ease with how our day there would go. We had many guests that also stayed at the newly renovated hotel and were very pleased with their stay. I highly recommend this venue! Best value, best service, best food, best staff!"
