Suzi & Terrence – September 2025
What an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we visited the Holiday Inn fayre, we just knew it was the location for us. Everyone was so accommodating, helpful and supportive, and allowed us to create the wedding we had always dreamed of having.
We decided to go for the Twilight package, which perfectly suited us. The food was fantastic, the waiting staff were brilliant and all night the whole events team were exceptional throughout. From start to finish, this was completely stress free and just truly magical and wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone considering having their wedding at Southend Airport Holiday Inn!

The perfect place for your Wedding! – September 2025
“What an absolutely magical and wonderful experience! We decided on a Twilight Wedding, and the Holiday Inn Southend provided absolutely everything we needed for our dream wedding. The events team were absolutely amazing with helping create the best day for us, so accommodating and helpful. The food was brilliant, and the overall atmosphere was just perfect.
All our family have said how much they enjoyed their experience too. Thank you all so much again for giving us the best day we could have ever asked for!”
Clare & Paul – September 2025
We had our wedding at Southend Holiday Inn and we could not be happier with our experience. From our first visit to an Open Day eighteen months before our big day to the morning after the staff could noy be more helpful or supportive. Throughout the process, the wedding staff stayed in contact by sending regular updates. They were helpful and supportive throughout.
The actual wedding day went seamlessly thanks to the fantastic organisation of the staff. The food was sensational. The actual hotel is amazing. I stayed the night of the wedding and we both stayed the night of the wedding. The room was phenomenal. The breakfast was gorgeous.

The food was absolutely amazing and beyond our expectations – August 2025
From the beginning of our wedding planning our allocated wedding manager, Hayley was very responsive and helpful. She has taken consideration of our wishes and made sure we were involved in every step of planning. We cannot forget about our wedding host Suzannah who was also very good in decorating our venue and ensured good time keeping and organisation during the day of our wedding.
She made us feel at ease and made great effort to follow our wishes and made sure we were not feeling any stress on our special day. In overall Hayley and Susannah along with the rest of the staff we came across were very professional and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing and beyond our expectations. We would very much recommend the Holiday Inn venue for anyone who also plans to spend their wedding party at their facility. After the party we were given personalised gifts and welcomed to a beautiful room that was spacious with comfortable bed to rest over the night.
The day was everything we could for and more – August 2025
We had our wedding at Holiday Inn Southend and it was absolutely beautiful. From booking the wedding a year before to the day of our wedding everything was so smooth, the rooms are beautiful.
We had a lovely room with the airport view, the food was absolutely amazing we had so many compliments on the food; the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the ceremony room and reception room was beautiful and Suzanna was amazing, the whole day from start to finish was everything we asked for and more and when we got back up to the room it was decorated beautifully with some lovely personalised mugs and a beautiful handmade card.
Hayley our wedding planner is so so lovely and actually what sold us booking our wedding there, she is the friendliest person ever and we couldn’t have asked for any better.
