Advise needed - Holiday Inn Lido / St. Michael's

anjeanette0601

We are getting married in April & are having our ceremony at St. Michael's on Siesta & then reception at the Holiday Inn on Lido.  I am very interested in hearing any feedback as to either of these . . . we are still choosing vendors, so any recommendations would be really, really appreciated! 
I'm also looking for advise regarding the reception at the Holiday Inn - as far as food, table linens, centerpieces, DJ's . . . etc.  - or anything else you can help us with!  I'm looking for the negative & positive so I know what to do & not to do  
Thanks so much!

We LOVE Holiday Inn Lido Beach in Sarasota!  I've never been to a wedding there, but we have stayed at that hotel probably 11 times, and everyone has been wonderful.  It's located right across the street from the beach, which is beautiful year-round, and it's within walking distance to St. Armand's Circle - though you can drive over if you want.

I am getting married at Tortuga Inn in Brandenton in March.  I am using Mr. Richard Peterson   (but the other name for Richard...it wouldn't let me post the word) lol...Photography  http://www.dickpetersonphotography.com/  He is very very very nice.  Does a free engagement session, prices and packages are awesome. Includes tons of pictures.
