FAQs

Question

Do you have a hotel block?

Answer

Yes, we have two hotel blocks at the Inn at Holiday Valley (716-699-2336) and the Tamarack Club (716-699-7000), which are walking distance to the ceremony and reception venue. Please call either venue and mention the 'Michelle Tran and Scott Breen Wedding on 9/12/2026' for our room rate. If you choose to stay elsewhere, there are a lot of Airbnb and VRBO for groups, and locally owned bed and breakfasts, and hotel chains in the area.
