Surge In Destination Weddings "Close To Home" Noted By Grand Haven Spring Lake Holiday Inn Management

SPRING LAKE, Mich., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Noting growing trends in wedding planning, executive management at the newly remodeled full service waterfront Holiday Inn in West Michigan, today discussed destination weddings that are "close to home."

"We are planning events for many brides who want the ambiance of a destination wedding and are cognizant of guests' expenses of flying to other locations outside of Michigan and across the country. The beauty of our hotel is that, in Michigan, we are just a one-tank journey, pointing out the economy of driving to Grand Haven. We can accommodate every detail, every request of the bride and her family," said Vonni Loynd, Holiday Inn Director of Sales.

"By providing a complete selection of wedding packages, the hotel is servicing brides who want to celebrate the entire weekend with rehearsal dinners, bridesmaids' luncheons, weddings for 25 to 300 persons and afterglow brunches. Hotel staff has significant expertise with custom event planning including bridal showers, waterfront ceremonies, outdoor weddings with special room rate accommodations for bridal party guests and events of all sizes," added Loynd.
