Happy couple married in October

Had the day of our dreams in

What an amazing venue to have our wedding at - from the moment of booking our wedding it was seamless- no stress no drama. The day far exceeded any of our dreams and every single member of staff made our day a wonderful memory! A big shoutout to Jordan who made every request possible- she saw my vision and ran with it, she was calming and efficient and very lovely too. The food was first class - I think every guest told us how amazing it was. We had special dietary requirements and the hotel ensured they had everything they needed without missing out on quality - they say that they’ve never known service like it and was grateful with the effort made. We can’t recommend the Holiday Inn Eastleigh enough its first class service on an affordable budget! Many guests told us it was the best wedding they’d been too and the hotel definitely made that possible!! And the lovely touch to the hotel room on our wedding night was a wonderful touch!!Wish we could do it all again!!

Wedding photography at venue

Lovely venue to photograph at. It’s been renovated and has a wonderful feel to the place. Some nice areas to capture important moments and the ceremony/wedding breakfast room is bright and white which is great for photography. Lovely wedding planner and staff too. The field across the way is a pretty place to shoot solo photos. Would highly recommend getting married here.

The most amazing day!!

We had our wedding at the Holiday Inn Eastleigh and it was perfect! The food was amazing... Staff were extremely friendly and nothing was too much to ask for! Molly made sure our day was exactly how we wanted it and for that we're forever grateful! We've had so many comments from guests complimenting the food, venue and staff! Highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any type of event.

I would like to thank you for the excellent service. The staff were excellent, food was excellent, Dj was good, the rooms were perfect.

We attended a wedding on 5th October and it was beautiful, we had an amazing time and will definitely be booking future events here at Holiday Inn Eastleigh.

Our Directors were impressed with the facilities available at the Holiday Inn Eastleigh and will be using the meeting space again in the future. They were very impressed with the meeting room, how the hotel has been modernised, etc (this may have been a while ago but we’ve only used it recently since it’s been redecorated, etc!) and also the food and drink variety!

Staff at the Holiday Inn have been excellent - friendly, polite and helpful. Great facilities, refreshments and lunch. Rooms were excellently resourced and quiet. Clean toilets and welcoming atmosphere.

I can only praise your facility and your staff. The room was just right for our use and it was a nice touch to receive the water and the extras provided.

I would like to say a massive thankyou on behalf of my family for the event you put on for us. The staff from reception to breakfast and checking out were brilliant. Please especially give Dom a massive thank you as he really looked after us going above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed. He was an absolute star!Even after the bar had shut and everyone had left we were still able to stay in the room and there was no rush for us to leave which we really appreciated from your night team

Describe the best wedding that happened at Holiday Inn Southampton Eastleigh M3 Jct. 13?

The best wedding at Holiday Inn Eastleigh was a truly magical event that captured the essence of love and celebration. The ceremony took place in our beautifully decorated function room, transformed into a romantic haven with elegant floral arrangements in soft pastel tones, twinkling fairy lights, and candle-lit centerpieces that created a warm, inviting atmosphere. The bride and groom exchanged vows beneath an arch adorned with cascading flowers, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The emotion in the room was palpable, as the couple shared heartfelt promises in an intimate, modern setting. Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a lavish reception. The dining area was impeccably set with crisp linens, sparkling glassware, and personalized touches that reflected the couple’s unique style. The meal, prepared by our talented chefs, featured a sumptuous three-course menu that catered to all tastes, with each dish beautifully presented and deliciously memorable. As the evening progressed, the dance floor came alive with music and laughter. A live band played the couple's favorite tunes, creating a joyful ambiance that had everyone on their feet, dancing late into the night. The highlight was a surprise choreographed dance by the newlyweds, which left the guests cheering and clapping in delight. This wedding was not just an event; it was a beautiful celebration of love, perfectly captured in every moment at Holiday Inn Eastleigh.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritize spending quality time together on your special day. The day will fly by, so make sure you carve out moments to connect with each other amidst all the celebrations. Whether it's a quiet moment alone before the ceremony or a brief escape during the reception, these shared moments will become some of your most cherished memories. While planning, focus on creating a day that allows you to truly enjoy each other's company, making your wedding day not just about the event, but about the two of you celebrating your love.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

My favorite personal touch at a wedding has to be personalized wine bottles. These custom labels add a unique and meaningful element to the celebration, often featuring the couple's names, wedding date, or a special message. It's a wonderful way to make guests feel more connected to the couple's story, and the bottles serve as a memorable keepsake long after the wedding. Whether used as table décor, favors, or part of a toast, personalized wine bottles add a beautiful and personal touch to the day.
