The New Year's Ball at the Holiday Inn on Grand Island, NY

If you're looking for a great way to kick off the New Year to a great start and live in western New York you should definitely check out the New Year's Ball at the Holiday Inn Grand Island, NY. They're opening up their spacious ballroom for a huge New Years bash and anyone can come with a reservation. Their flier gives you two great options, their ballroom package for couples and a family package.

Their Ballroom Package states that it is "$299 per couple and includes: 1) Five hours of Open Call Bar. 2) Prime Rib Buffet Dinner for two. 3) Entertainment from a live dance band. 4) Champagne toast at midnight. 5) Midnight Buffet & coffee. 6) An overnight room. 7) Breakfast for two the next morning." Their doors and bar open at 7:30 p.m. and dinner is served at 8:00p.m.

Their family package is $239 for a family of four and includes: "1) Dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 2) Prime Rib Buffet Dinner for the adults. 3) A Kids Buffet. 4) Breakfast the next morning. 5) Assorted Entertainers. 6) An overnight room." The event is being billed as a non-alcoholic event to make sure there are no issues with the families. The doors for the family package open earlier than the adults only party at about 5:00p.m.

Their Grand Ballroom is well named. Large enough to support all of their weddings and other events, this ball should be wonderfully served in this facility. The ballroom has a large stage and a dance floor for boogieing down before and after the ball drops. And there is always antiquate seating for dinner. After seeing the great ways they've decorated for weddings and other parties it can be expected that at this event they will match or even surpass their former achievements.

The hotel is located right on the Niagara River. About fifteen minutes from Niagara Falls and twenty minutes from Buffalo. Tucked out of the way of major traffic it sits serenely against the river and with any luck the western NY snow will be light but still help make the night beautiful. The Holiday Inn Resort and Conference center is located at 100 Whitehaven Road, on Grand Island, New York zip code 14072. For reservations call the hotel at (716) 773-1111 and ask for the Catering manager, Dale VanAlstine. Have a great holiday season and a happy New Year!
