    The Horton Grand Hotel was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. While communication was a bit slower at first, the staff became so nice and communicative as we got closer to the event date. The venue itself is beautiful, spacious, and flexible. All the staff was so friendly and willing to help us - they even gave out the champagne we brought to our guests staying at the hotel and helped us plan a special thank you toast during our reception. We highly recommend the Horton Grand Hotel for your wedding!

  • The Perfect Venue!!

    I cannot stop raving about this venue and the whole event planning team. We had such an amazing experience having out wedding at the Horton Grand Hotel, it makes me want to do it all over again. The venue itself is beautiful and provides a perfect romantic setting for an outdoor wedding. Planning a wedding this year during COVID was nothing short of difficult but Jennifer and the whole event planning staff were so helpful and understanding throughout the whole planning process and really made planning this wedding and keeping our original date so easy. Jennifer constantly kept us updated on the current status of the hotel and was amazing at relaying information related to closures and events to us. She was knowledgeable about the restrictions and helped us plan for a day that was not only perfect in every way but also provided safety to our guests. It was a pleasure having our wedding at such a beautiful location and we were so pleased with how it all turned out and the responsiveness of the staff. There were a number of last minute challenges that made our planning stressful, it was worth every stress and the staff at the Horton Grand Hotel helped us through every set back allowing us to fully enjoy our day. Plan your wedding today at the Horton Grand Hotel, you definitely won't regret it!!
