We had the best time working with the Gettysburg Hotel. Alaina is FANTASTIC--she is accommodating, kind, genuine, and on the ball. She made planning a breeze. Our guests LOVED the small town feel and elegance of the ballroom. The BEST wedding food out there, too. We used many of their preferred vendors and have been receiving compliments from our guests for weeks since our big day. THANK YOU for hosting the most amazing day of our lives!

AMAZING!!! Everyone at the hotel was so helpful. We had a gorgeous wedding and if I could do all over again, I’d rebook the Gettysburg Hotel. Alaina (coordinator) was so helpful and even helped us in ways that I didn’t even think about. Our guests have raved over and over again, how much they loved it. We even had a card and some refreshments in our honeymoon suite at the end of the night. They were so accommodating and helpful the entirety of the planning process. Even our taste testing was fantastic! LOVE LOVE LOVE. My husband and I had the best day of our lives there.

We got married in March 2023 and the Gettysburg Hotel was the perfect venue especially since March is tricky weather wise. The banquet room was spacious, and the food/drinks were great. Our guests were thankful they could just walk up to their rooms at the end of the night. Alaina was our coordinator, and she was awesome. So easy to work with, very responsive and accommodating. She also made sure we had everything we needed the day of. Highly recommend. We loved our wedding!

My daughter just got married and we had a fabulous reception and entire weekend at the Gettysburg Hotel. The wedding coordinator we worked with was a complete professional. She was incredibly organized and executed my daughter and son-in-law's vision for their wedding to perfection! She met with us several times, and was highly responsive when we reached out by phone or email. She anticipated our needs so that when we did have questions or requests, she had already taken care of it. We had the rehearsal dinner, a welcome cocktail reception and a brunch as well. The entire staff were pleasant and followed through on every detail. She went above and beyond. For example, she helped with the hotel guest bags, made sure the florist and other vendors knew what they should be doing, and even personally helped move the bride's belongings into the honeymoon suite on the day of the wedding. Nothing was left to chance. We got all our special photos, decorations, and even left over cake wrapped up and saved for us to bring home. Apart from the wonderful service, the hotel was clean, comfortable and welcoming. They made accommodations for an elderly family member. At no time did we feel rushed or that we weren't the center of attention. It was the level of professionalism and pampering that every couple and their family and guests hope for. Thank you, thank you for a memorable event.

We highly recommend the Gettysburg Hotel as a wedding venue. The venue itself is beautiful , which for us was great, as we wanted to minimize decor costs. You also can't beat the location, as it's centrally located and within walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants, the battlefield etc. We also can't speak highly enough of the events manger and her staff. She kept us on track, was always available for question, and really made the planning process as seamless as it could be! With the exception of a few things ( flowers, DJ, Photographer), everything was included in the costs which also made planning that much easier.

Look no further! This is your dream venue! When my husband and I started looking at wedding venues, we were all over the place. There are literally just so many choices in this area, but none that we really fell in love with. When we met Megan at the Gettysburg Hotel, it was like my husband and I immediately knew this was the place for our special day. Although the venue is absolutely stunning (that vault though), Megan was a HUGE factor in our decision. She was patient, kind, informative, and truly cared about our vision. She answered every single question I threw her way, and there were many, and was always willing to go the extra mile for us. I truly could not have gotten through the planning process without her. She made everything so easy for us! When our wedding day finally came, Megan, the venue, the staff, and every single little detail exceeded our expectations. Megan and the staff completed all of our setup and tear down, so my husband and I could just focus on our special day. I truly felt like royalty the whole weekend. If you are on the fence about taking a peek at the Gettysburg Hotel or reaching out to Megan, DO IT! Our day was absolutely perfect and I know it wouldn’t have been the same without this beautiful venue or awesome coordinator.

The Gettysburg Hotel was the absolute best venue we could have picked! The venue is beautiful and offers so many great locations for pictures! Everything is in one location: ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Megan is so amazing to work with she made the entire planning process so seamless, answered all the questions that I had and is SO GOOD at her job. They have so many things already onsite it made planning so easy! They have a ton of local places they parter with such as DJs, photographers, cake bakers it really was a no brainer when deciding to choose The Gettysburg Hotel. If you're looking for a beautiful venue that takes so much stress off of the planning process for you this is the place for you. I can't say enough good words about our experience there and would advise any couple looking for the perfect venue to book their wedding with The Gettysburg Hotel

Megan Wherley, the wedding coordinator, was amazing from start to finish. As mother of the bride, with a daughter out of state, Megan went above and beyond to answer all of our questions via zoom, phone, email or text messaging. Add a pandemic into the mix, she still helped to make a 2020 wedding, moved to 2021 due to the pandemic run smoothly. The staff, food, and overall organization of the entire event was flawless. Thank you to Megan and the Gettysburg Hotel for giving our families memories to last a lifetime.

Do you want a one stop shop with an amazing wedding coordinator? Then look no further. At first, I wasn't sure that I totally loved the Hotel as our venue, but the more we looked at different places and talked to different people, I fell in love. Megan was absolutely amazing and one of the main reasons we decided to book the Gettysburg Hotel. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner, was so professional and nice, and took so much stress out of the equation for us. The day of our wedding, we didn't have to set up a thing. She took our decorations and brought my vision to life. Compared to other venues, the hotel had the most bang for our buck. The food was absolutely delicious. We have received so many compliments about our wedding and all of the guests loved that they were downtown and had several options for dining and shopping over the weekend.

Megan was our main point of contact and we can not say more wonderful things with her. For starters, she is extremely thoughtful and took care of the small details from start to finish. She helped us work within our budget. She learned about us as a couple and took time to understand what we wanted our reception to be. At the last minute, she even had a table set up for us for a family member with Alzheimer's in the event they would be able to stay for the reception. The day of event staff was also extremely courteous. We were thrilled with our experience and wish you the best as you plan yours.

I cannot even describe how wonderful the Gettysburg Hotel is. We booked probably almost two years before our wedding day. Obviously, the venue is beautiful. More than that however, their staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. It was rainy and cold when I was having pictures taken outside the hotel, and I was greeted on my entry with a warmed blanket. Megan did a phenomenal job decorating and organizing. the food was delicious. I was never without a drink if I wanted one. when the night was over and we saw our room, our cake was packaged. wine, cheese, and strawberries were there. I truly felt cared for and pampered. it was a wonderful experience, from planning to the last second we were there. I can't say enough good things about Megan and the rest of the staff. So kind, helpful, accommodating, prepared and professional. The Gettysburg Hotel knows how to put on a weddding. And all my guests talked about how good the food was and how lovely the venue was! I couldn't be happier. And the price was very reasonable! you can't go wrong.

I cannot say enough good things about the Gettysburg Hotel! This was the ONLY venue my husband and I looked at and we were blown away by the attention to detail paid by the hotel staff (especially Megan), I won't spoil it for anyone looking to tour the venue. Our wedding was a dream to plan because of how experienced the Gettysburg Hotel's wedding staff is. It was the least stressful aspect of my life (how many brides can say that? ) They were able to facilitate any questions we had, accommodated any and all of our requests, and they were able to make our wedding day perfect. The hotel and our other vendors worked together seamlessly. Nearly a month later, our guests are still raving about how much fun they had at the wedding, how good the food was, and how beautiful they thought our venue was. I can't recommend the Gettysburg Hotel enough.

Having a destination wedding, my biggest concern was how difficult it would be to plan everything from five hours away. Megan Wherley and the team at the Gettysburg Hotel quickly put my mind at ease. They could not have made the process easier! The communication with Megan was timely and thorough. She was dedicated to making sure our day was special and flawless. Not only did she work with us well, she built relationships with our vendors to ensure everything and everyone was where it needed to be. The venue itself was fantastic. We loved the historic element of the train station and reception hall (an old bank that still has the vault in the back). It made for some excellent pictures. Additionally, the building was well maintained and the hotel rooms were very comfortable. Honestly, I could not think of one thing we would have changed. Thanks to Megan, our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives.

As father of the bride, my wife and I wanted to make our daughter's wedding as perfect as possible. She was determined to be married in Gettysburg as the town and surrounding battlefield hold a very special place in our family's hearts. Gettysburg was such a big part of her life growing up. Not only were we able to locate the perfect church in Gettysburg for the ceremony, we were blessed to meet up with Megan Wherley and introduced to the Gettysburg Hotel and all it's amenities, charm and hospitality. Megan worked with us and was professional beyond reproach and yet so approachable as though we had known her for years. She and her staff made sure the wedding reception and all of the moving parts that go along with the evening ran smoothly and transparent to us. My daughter and husband, along with so many of our guests, commented on how classy, warm and receiving the entire evening was. We were also fortunate enough to have an evening wedding December 28th, so the decor inside and outside and throughout the town square was beautifully decorated. And what made it even more enchanting, God added some fog which made it seem like you just walked onto the set of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Thanks to Megan and the entire staff of the Gettysburg Hotel, that night was even more beautiful than what we could have asked or planned for. Megan hit this one out of the ballpark!! My family and I recommend this venue without hesitation.

I knew that I wanted to get married in a Gettysburg, but my husband needed a bit of coaxing. That’s what I told Megan when I met her in May of 2018 to tour the venue while I was out there for work, and to my shock she was more than understanding. We had been to Gettysburg a few times before for weekend vacations with my family and loved the area, but he was stuck on getting married in our home state of CT to accommodate more friends and family. After a few months of looking at venues near us, I finally convinced him to come and check out The Gettysburg Hotel and meet Megan with me on a Sunday and instantly he was hooked. Not only is the space perfect for a couple of history nerds like us, but Megan truly set us both at ease that day when we bombarded her with tons of questions and she had every answer. And it was nothing short of that for the next 10 months leading up to our wedding, especially not being local to the area and working with her to plan it from afar. Everything was done through email which was fantastic, and she juggled numerous silly questions and countless redundant emails from the both of us-ultimately leading to the absolutely perfect day in May for us to say I Do. If you are a newly engaged couple looking to have a memorable wedding experience I mean it when I say look no further than The Gettysburg Hotel. The value for the amount we paid was incomparable, the entire staff was so accommodating, the venue was incredibly amazing, the vendors they work with are truly wonderful, but it is really Megan who is a true star. Also, if you can, opt to have your ceremony on the historic train platform right behind the hotel, and get the ice cream bar for dessert- our guests are STILL raving over it!

Our experience with the gettysburg Hotel was wonderful. We loved everything about it.We met with the wedding coordinator Megan Wherley and hit it off from the start. We decided to get married quick because of having our vacation (honeymoon now) planned out. The hotel has a wedding package which includes 3 different packages. We chose the $63/person package. That was enough for us. They were running a promotion so instead of one night we received 2 nights in the honeymoon suite and 50% off the ballroom rental. We chose from 2 cake venders which were included in the package as well. We went to a tasting which was amazing and very hard to choose the food. You got to choose two entrées and Ultimately we went with Panko encrusted cod and the prime rib. We chose our cake vendor there as well. There were the hotels preferred venders. They even had amazing officiants which turned out to be a great decision. It was a husband and wife duo who were both officiants. A Wedding by Summers. Great people!Megan did so much. If I had any questions she answered them quickly via email. She was always there when I needed an answer.Our wedding day was spectacular. We made it easy on everyone. We got married in the ballroom in front of this neat looking vault and had our reception in there as well. Everything was set up while our guests were at cocktail hour. Everyone loved the food and said how beautiful the hotel was and how much fun they had. We will never forget that night.

Megan made everything very easy. Our vision came out the way we wanted it to and all our guest said it was the best wedding they ever been too. The food was excellent. The only problem I have was that we also had a breakfast and lunch for the girls while our hair and makeup was being done. The food was supposed to be bagels for breakfast and half wraps and finger sandwiches for lunch. Well the lunch was brought out at the same time as the bagels and was sitting out. They did take it back to keep it cold for us until we wanted it, but no one really trusted it after it sat out. The spread that they put out was not really appetizing to anyone. There was only very tiny finger sandwiches that filled no one up and no half wraps like I expected. That being said the food for the actual wedding was fantastic.

Compared to other venues pricing and Gettysburg Hotel's all inclusive packages, this was definitely the way to go. Also appreciated the acceptance of us being Bride and Bride. Every single time I emailed Megan, which was a lot, or had any questions or changes, she responded immediately and fully and was the epitome of professional and thorough. Every part of our contract was laid out in detail and everything was fully explained and reviewed and Megan also assisted with finer details we hadn't thought of and was a supportive and friendly presence who didn't miss anything. she also was very flexible with her schedule at all times. the hotel had some awesome wedding vendor events and a lot of helpful tools to help us find vendors they have used in the past. we also had a very lovely tasting and tour, which sealed the deal for us. The wedding package price also included a cake from an option of two bakers. Megan also taught us how to cut the cake. We went with Karen Rodkey, which was also the best choice, our guests are still gushing about our cake. I am so excited to have the top tier for our anniversary. We received so many compliments on everything. Megan is an expert designer (it was beautiful and turned out better than I had envisioned) and has a great team and they are very efficient at multi tasking. I loved having the safe lights on and the bars closed during the ceremony, made for excellent photos. The cocktail hour was fun and food during the cocktail hour was delicious. For dinner, we had plated meal options of the citrus and horseradish encrusted salmon (amazing!) and chicken with fontina cream and tomato relish (equally as amazing) and a napoleon polenta as the veggie option. Everyone raved about the food. Megan, the chef, and staff were on point for those with allergies or special dietary needs. hotel was very helpful with coordinating our entrances and exits and assisted with set ups. The bridal suite was gorgeous and in close proximity to the ballroom and also complimentary, with a beautiful fire place and jacuzzi tub. The hotel staff brought all our gifts to the room for us without us having to ask as well as took care of decorations and clean up as well. They also had a lovely spread and treats for us in the room for after the wedding for a very personable experience and a keep sake we can't wait to use. Hotel staff were also very helpful with any assistance or request. We love that Gettysburg is now a part of our history and had a great time at the location in the square.

My husband and I loved every aspect of our wedding at the Gettysburg Hotel, and Megan (the wedding coordinator at the hotel) is such a pleasure to work with. We had our ceremony at the historic Lincoln-Gettysburg Railroad Station and reception inside the ballroom. If you are looking for something unique, historic and place for your guests to make your wedding into a weekend getaway, the Gettysburg Hotel is the place to book your wedding. Both the railroad station and ballroom have plenty of character alone, or you can add your own unique touches to meet the couples’ personalities. Megan is professional, cares about each couple and makes sure everything that you envisioned for your wedding day is accomplished. Megan and the hotel staff go above and beyond! Our gifts were brought up the bridal suite, along with slices of the wedding cake, champagne and glasses, and a spread of fruit, cheeses and crackers. The food is delicious with a variety of options. We requested a duet chicken and beef platter, which was not listed as a standard option, but the chef was willing to accommodate our request. He also accommodated for our guests who had food allergies, and even made a special dinner for two guests. We attended the fall expo at the hotel, which allowed us to sample the food and meet with some of the local vendors. This helped us in choosing the florist, officiant and cake. I would also like to make a plug for Karen Rodkey cakes...she makes AMAZING cakes. We made an appointment to sample her cakes at her bakery, which was my husband’s favorite experience of the entire wedding planning process. So many of our guests raved about the wedding cake. The hotel and town of Gettysburg are charming, provides plenty of photo opportunities, as well as offers attractions for your guests. You will love your wedding at the Gettysburg Hotel!

Raining 2+ inches an hour, thier vows were being exchanged, and as mother of the bride, I wasn’t worried about it thing! Megan at the Gettysburg Hotel was in charge, and I was free to show up at the party of a lifetime, unphased by anything, not even torrential rain.My husban and I arrived at the Gettysburg hotel, and stepped into the cocktail hour. Drinks were being enjoyed by our closest and dearest family and friends, crisply uniformed servers passed delicious food, the bride and groom, smiling from ear to ear. Over a year of planning and now, this most important event, was running like a top. As we passed a round table set like spokes in a wheel, warmly lit with candles, place cards and photos of family brides and grooms smiled at us from weddings long ago. And as we stepped into the ballroom, Megan at my side, I couldn’t have been more pleased. The tables were perfectly set, the cake and candy table, a work of art! Megan has skill and an eye for perfection. In my opinion, she has abilities that would be welcome in the finer hotels of NY or DC.The night went off without a hitch, the ballroom was softly and romantically lit, the food was really good, the servers were on thier game and a young marriage was ushered off to a wonderful beginning. Thank you to Megan Wherley, Catering and Events Manager at the Gettysburg Hotel, and to the wonderfully competent staff to whom I wish I could name individually.

Working with Megan at the Gettysburg Hotel to plan our wedding was the first step in many great decisions on our part. Megan able to capture our wedding vision amd make it everything we had dreamt of and more. We had the best time! The staff went above and beyond, they were so friendly and kind to us and our guests. Our wedding reception at the train station was perfect. I was so impressed how cool it stayed under the pavillon during a sunny 80 degree day. The food was amazing, I still have family members talking about it! I wish I would have had a chance to try the springroll... apparently they were a hit. My matron of honor later told me how lucky I was to have chosen your venue because everything went so smooth, on time, and we were well taken care of. I have two friends who just got engaged and I've recommend the Gettysburg Hotel to both of them. My husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so special!

My husband and I could not have been any happier with the results of having our wedding reception at the Gettysburg Hotel. When we began the wedding planning process, we were hesitant to visit the Hotel, as it was a bit far from the ceremony and we didn't know if the drive was worth it. After visiting however, we instantly knew it was the place and cancelled our tours of other reception sites. Having visited several potential reception locations already, we were blown away by how much was included and taken care of by the Gettysburg Hotel. Their level of assurance in taking care of so many details instantly put me at ease and I knew that it would be much less for me to worry about. I originally started working with April, who was wonderful and then Megan took over and handled everything amazingly. I had decided to do a lot of the reception decorations myself and the day before the wedding when I gave everything to Megan and explained my vision for the ballroom, she took that vision and made it look a thousand times more beautiful! The food was perfect and they were wonderful with working through dietary needs and even personal preferences from some of the guests. They provided a cake from one of their suggested vendors, Karen Rodkey Cakes that was both beautifully designed and delicious. Finally, they thought of little things, like having cake, a bottle of champagne and a selection of food up in our honeymoon suite for the end of the time. Our reception could not have run more seamlessly and I know that it was due to Megan and the rest of her staff's impeccable behind-the-scene coordination. I would strongly recommend the Gettysburg Hotel for any couple that wants a beautiful, memorable, stress-free experience for a great value.

The Gettysburg Hotel was really the venue of our dreams - gorgeous ballroom with high ceilings, historical value, and hotel rooms for all of our guests right upstairs. We are grateful for all of April R.'s help, from contract negotiation to helping to place individual cupcakes on our tables on the afternoon of our wedding. She truly went above and beyond from start to finish for us, and I am so grateful for her patience, flexibility, and expertise. The only negative was that we had a less-than-ideal service experience during our actual wedding reception. They seemed quite understaffed, and it took longer than anticipated to get all the plated dinners out. The servers were also impatient with some of our guests, as we had some people share with us after the wedding.The bright spot? Servers took a couple of pieces of leftover cake, wrapped them up, and left them in the honeymoon suite for us to enjoy after the party ended.

I am a perfectionist and she met my very high expectations. Being so on top of everything, I felt that I could really trust her and it allowed me to relax. The little details were all taken care of and April did not miss a beat. When I did have questions or concerns, she was super responsive and even took care of a few last minute errands for me.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Gettysburg Hotel on 5/6/17 and couldn’t possibly be happier with my experience. The beauty of this historic venue is the perfect setting for a wedding, and the staff does an amazing job at making sure your day is as seamless and carefree as possible. From the beginning, the Hotel staff led by April Rose makes sure to arrange a package that fits your budget and vision for your day. A deciding factor in us choosing this venue was the fact that we could do both the ceremony and reception at the same venue, making it more convenient for guests, and eliminating some issues with coordination. After booking, April is there to answer all of your questions and make recommendations. In my opinion, the best part about the Gettysburg Hotel, is that this is a one-stop-shop that handles all of the details, leaving you (the bride and groom) to enjoy the day. April and her team set up all of my decorations perfectly, exactly as I had asked, and at the end of the night packaged everything with care so that the next day all I had to do was pick up the boxes. During the ceremony and reception itself, April and your designated wedding maître d’ expertly coordinate everything, making sure the events flow effortlessly and seeing to it that you are always happy, with drinks in hand and the food you need. I received numerous compliments during and after the wedding about not only the gorgeous venue of the Grand Ballroom, but also the high level of service provided from all of the staff including servers, the bartender, and everyone in between. Plus, quite importantly, the food and drinks were all outstanding. The attention to detail of everyone involved with each element is impressive. I could go on and on, but ultimately the Gettysburg Hotel understands that time and stress involved with planning a wedding, and what they do is take that stress off, ensuring that you have a beautiful, stress-free wedding day that is exactly what YOU want. If you are thinking about getting married in the Gettysburg area, I highly recommend the Gettysburg Hotel.

We cannot say enough positive things about our recent wedding at the Gettysburg Hotel! We began our relationship working with Megan. From the start, the approach of planning was done with the passion and attention to detail we were looking for. With both of us living in the Northern Virginia area, we wanted a place to not only serve as a beautiful venue to showcase our Art Deco Disney Theme, but also provide a one stop shop to avoid the constant communication between various vendors. After our first visit, we knew the Hotel was our venue! The fact that everything was included in the price was huge! During the last few months of our planning, April came on to take over for Megan for the remainder of the wedding, and the transition could not have been more seamless. April wasted no time getting up to speed with our vision for the wedding and details to follow, helping prep all the necessary details, including working our other vendors to make sure everything was ready for the big day. As for the day of, we honestly cannot think of anything negative to say.

My dream wedding came true at the Gettysburg Hotel. When I first was looking for venues, we were unsure about looking at Gettysburg because we were afraid of the price. But they were absolutely incredible about working with our budget. The very first meeting we were greeted by the Coordinator at the time, Megan, with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. As a bride, I felt so special. They showed us tons of dinner items, both buffet and sit down. They worked with our budget and helped us create our own menu that worked for everyone. The staff from start to finish was incredible. My wedding came together like any bride hopes and imagines it will. The new wedding Coordinator, April, was also a pleasure to work with.

To begin, our wedding weekend was beyond perfect and the entire staff at Gettysburg....especially our Events Manager Megan were extremely helpful, polite, and accommodating. Also, please take a view at our wedding video our videographer posted on Youtube that will show more of the highlights of our wedding and you can definitely see the beautiful scenery that the Hotel offers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZbQVXGVd98\rSelection Process - My husband and I first came to learn of the Hotel at a Wedding Expo in Washington, DC. We were actually on our way out of the expo when we decided to stop at one last booth. We were impressed by Megan as well as the brochure and other information we were given. We attended the food tasting with my mother. The food options were plentiful (which my husband thoroughly enjoyed lol) and we were given a tour of the hotel and honeymoon suite.\rPreparation - We worked closely with Megan concerning every aspect of the planning process. She was very responsive to all of the questions and concerns we had and was available by phone or email. The most important part of the planning process was the run through we were able to complete with Megan where she talked us through the entire process and addressed any follow-up questions we had a few weeks before the wedding. It was really beneficial to us and assured me that everything would run smoothly on the day of. \rCeremony - Megan was there during the enter ceremony and worked well with our DJ to coordinate the exact time I needed to walk down the aisle. She directed my guests before and after the ceremony. Our ceremony took place at the Historical train station behind the hotel. After the ceremony we took pictures near the train station and Megan escorted my husband and I to the ballroom to take our first look at the reception. \rReception - Before the reception the groomsmen, bridal party, and our parents were all accommodated well. They were provided food in a separate room away from the Atrium with the rest of our guests. Throughout the reception the entire staff was friendly and kept supplying me with Wine (to calm my nerves lol). My guests were well taken care of and our food was incredible. Hubby and I couldn't even finish our food. Another plus concerning the reception we were supplied with an elevated 6 foot table so we could see all of our guests from a distance. Also, we had chosen our DJ from their preferred vendors list, Great Scott Productions, and our DJ Mark was wonderful. He took head to all of my guest’s requests and was very entertaining. \rAfterward - At the end of the night Josh and I made it to the honeymoon suite and were met with our favorite food from the wedding and a set of wine glasses with a personal card addressed to us which almost made me cry (I'm just an emotional person lol). \rOverall our experience was so wonderful, I couldn't have asked for a better venue. Having our wedding and reception here was so fun and memorable....I almost wish I could experience it again. I was worry and stress free because of all the work Megan put in and til this day our family still raves about the hotel, the town, the food....basically everything. We sincerely thank everyone at Gettysburg for their help, patience, and customer service. \r

No amount of praise would be too great to describe my and my wife's experience having our ~ 160 guest wedding this past August at the Gettysburg Hotel. From beginning to end, Megan Wherley (Events Manager), Andrea Proulx (Director of Sales/Marketing) and their entire team were nothing short of remarkable. Sure, my wife and I (both unabashed history nerds - and New Jersey residents) initially chose the Gettysburg Hotel because of its location, historical significance, and obvious physical beauty. What we didn't anticipate was also being treated to the most enjoyable professional experience we've ever had (or will likely ever have) in any industry. Truly, Megan and Andrea's (tireless) willingness to assist our experience in every conceivable way, with every last detail, at every stage of the proceedings, was un--real.\r\rOn the more practical side of the analysis, if you take the time to do some proper number crunching, and account for ALL likely costs, you should also discover that the pricing at GH is more reasonable/competitive then you may initially think (with dozens of different price points and packages to choose from). For example, my wife and I originally priced out having our wedding at a renovated barn outside of town with caterers, etc. After accounting for ALL likely costs (and choosing packages that accommodated our specific, self-funded budget), GH was actually a few dollars less expensive per guest. I know, who knew?\r\rAll in all, if your short list for wedding/reception location considerations includes \"value,\" \"professionalism,\" and \"quality,\" I cannot more strongly recommend the Gettysburg Hotel. It was genuinely the experience of a lifetime (without soliciting opinions, many of our guests have said so too). And if you do decide to have your wedding/reception at GH, kindly invite the wife and I. We'd jump at the chance to do it all over again ;)\r

The Gettysburg Hotel and Megan Wherley were absolutely wonderful to work with. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Megan was a godsend as we worked to plan our wedding from 2 time zones away. She walked us through the entire process, answered our never-ending barrage of questions, and coordinated the entire ceremony and reception so I didn't have to micromanage or worry. It was great to just breeze through my wedding day and enjoy every minute of it. Megan also took time out of her busy schedule to give my mother a tour when her friends surprised her with a trip to Gettysburg to see it all before the wedding. \r\rThe food at the Gettysburg Hotel is delicious. We had the hardest time deciding what to serve at our reception because it was all so delicious. Also, the cake is included in the cost of the reception and is made by Karen Rodkey. Best pound cake of my life. Megan was also able to work to get some of our favorite beers in for our wedding that are not on their regular reception choices. That was a really special touch. \r\rThe Gettysburg Hotel has a great list of preferred vendors and worked well with the vendors we chose outside of that list well too. In addition, the staff was also able to guide us out-of-towners to great food recommendations, rehearsal dinner space, etc. \r\rThe entire facility is beautiful and unique and our reception and ceremony turned out beautifully! The bridal suite was huge and comfortable and the treats after our big day were a great touch. The bridal suite was actually big enough for me and my ladies to get ready in together. \r\rAll of our guests who stayed in the hotel reported wonderful accommodations and appreciated that they kept the bar open late for our after party.

Excellent value. Pleasantly surprised that there is such a fabulous venue in Central Pennsylvania. Rivals most venues in a major metropolitan area. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, helpful, flexible, and friendly. Lovely, clean historic building that has been beautifully restored and decorated. In the heart of Gettysburg, which makes it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and some of the historic sites that this quaint city has to offer. The food was excellent; beautifully prepared and presented. My husband and I have been to many dinners, functions, receptions, parties, and galas over the years. Our experience with The Gettysburg Hotel exceeded our hopes and expectations. We highly recommend this venue to anyone who is thinking of hosting an event here.

The ballroom was amazing. The staff was awesome. Everyone their was just amazing. I had looked at other venues and nothing compared to the Gettysburg Hotel. Andrea & Christine where the best. They made the ballroom my dream come true. We used the safe in the ballroom as a selfie station and it turned out perfect. Thanks to the staff everything went smoothly.

It was beyond a pleasure to have worked with Megan Wherley and the Gettysburg Hotel. This was not only my first wedding but the first wedding my family has hosted. Being from Portugal we had no idea how to get started and Megan was there every step of the way to help us. No matter what our questions were Megan was extremely professional and great with communication. The ballroom is beyond breathtaking. With high ceilings with intricate detailing everywhere you look there is beauty. The vault adds a fun extra space to allow yourself to use your creativity as you wish. We used it for a lounge and a place for guests to leave their cards, presents, and sign our guest book. Working with Megan was a wonderful and stress free experience. I only had to drop off my decorations two days before the wedding and then I could relax. On the day of the wedding my husband and I were given a first look at the ballroom and instantly it took my breath away and I teared up. Megan and her staff went above and beyond the call of duty and truly gave us a fairytale reception. Our family and friends flew in from all across the US and said that their stay at the hotel was amazing. They loved the delicious food (which we were able to customize and even add a Portuguese traditional appetizer!) and loved how beautiful the ballroom and the Hotel were. Our cake was included in the venue price and was beyond delicious. Karen Rodkey invited us into her home to customize our cake and it was such a simple process. She is a delight to work with and truly takes pride in her baking. You can definitely tell that she is passionate about her cakes because every layer was moist and delicious!My husband and I were treated to an amazing complimentary honeymoon suite where a cheese platter, champagne with glasses, and two slices of our wedding cake were waiting for us. It was an amazing way to end our night and spend our first night as husband and wife. They also thought ahead and wrapped the top tier of our wedding cake so that it was easily stored in the freezer for our one year anniversary. \rThe following day all we had to do was pick up our decorations which had been nicely stacked and saved for us. All we had to do was load up our car and come home. Easy and stress free. That is what our wedding day was like, easy and stress free.

We were looking for a venue where the reception and the hotel rooms were one in the same and also a place that was close to attractions for our guests. The Gettysburg Hotel was perfect! The hotel was recently renovated and is in excellent condition. It is located directly on the square of Gettysburg with lots of attractions in walking distance. Even the courthouse was a short walk away and we received our license on Wednesday and got married on Saturday and it saved us a trip to the area (we are from out of town) so it worked out perfect! \r\rThe large and elegant ballroom was to die for! It was a beautiful backdrop for photos and with plenty of room for guests (about 180) and did not feel crowded at all. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and it was great! The cocktail hour was right outside the ballroom with lots windows and natural light. \r\rMegan was FANTASTIC! to work with and made planning a breeze. If you want an elegant venue that covers the details this is your place.

We knew we wanted to get married in Gettysburg and had our eye on the hotel for quite awhile. It is beautiful inside & out, not to mention the hisorical value. After our first meeting with Megan we were 100% sold. She was very flexible as far as meeting with us when we had time. We later attended a bridal tasting at the hotel where we decided on the vendors we wanted to use (not necessary but so helpful for a busy bride-to-be). It was so nice to meet the preferred vendors at the venue, it made us feel very comfortable as they were already familiar with the hotel & Megan; it just made the who planning process seamless. We also were able to taste all of the amazing meal options and see a few samples of the beautiful cakes (included in wedding package). As the year of planning progressed we were in touch with Megan each time we had a question or concern. She was so excellent in communicating with us and was quick to respond. Our rehearsal dinner was fabulous and our wedding day could not have gone more smoothly. We had pictures taken in the college room, out back and also around the square in front of the hotel. We were married in the ballroom and after the cocktail hour the ballroom was ready for the reception. We supplied a ton of candy for our wedding favors & I have no idea how it would have looked had I put it together but Megan took the task on and I could not have been more pleased with how it turned out. The food was fantastic and each of our 100+ guest have commented on how elegant and perfect the wedding was.

When we began planning our wedding, all we wanted was something small and inexpensive. We decided to hit a few bridal shows to see what kind of ideas we could steal! The bridal show at the Gettysburg hotel was probably the fourth or fifth show in the York/Adams county area that we attended. The minute I walked in, I was in love! The place was gorgeous and I saw some of the pricing and it shocked me because it didn’t seem like much! I thought there had to be a catch. My now husband convinced me to meet with the wedding coordinator, Megan. I went up to her at the show and instantly she gave me a tour, showed me the honeymoon suites, and went over pricing with us. I could not believe how inexpensive it would be to hold our wedding there. It was honestly not much more than if we rented a hall and did it ourselves. And this way, we didn’t have to set up, tear down and I couldn’t believe everything that price covered. \r\rEvery step of the way Megan made herself available to us. She was an amazing help and she went over and beyond what I was expecting! She handled everything perfectly and I still can’t believe the support she gave us!\r\rThe day before the wedding was one of the hardest days I’ve had in a long time. I was stressed to the max, had a health issue pop up that day, everything was going wrong and was in a horrible state of mind. I met up with Megan that night to give her our décor and for the rehearsal dinner, and the instant I started talking to her I calmed down. She talked with me, took charge and made everything so much better. She’s amazing because she has a way of just talking to her and I trust her so much!\rOne of our biggest fears was that we had a small wedding, by choice. We had 56 people and that included the 13 people in our wedding party. I was afraid the room would look empty. They placed everything perfectly; they even made a lounge in the reception with tables and chairs to take up more room. It was absolutely perfect!\rMy wedding party was a doozy! It was full of very loud people who do not like to act like adults at times. Thankfully, she handled them perfect for me! I’m a little shy and have trouble making people listen to me and she took charge of the situation and got the job done! I am forever grateful. \r\r It poured on our wedding day and she did everything possible to make it perfect: from giving us new photo ideas, finding batteries at the last minute for our centerpieces, and running outside in the rain paying our parking! \r\rI couldn’t have asked for a better location or for a better person in charge. Everything went perfectly and the tiny things that went wrong, she handled it. The food was amazing, the staff during the event was amazing, the price was amazing...that’s all I can say…We planned with them for a year and I do not have one complaint! They went over and beyond, 100% of the way!\r

My husband and I were married at the Gettysburg Hotel in November, and I can't say enough about the Gettysburg Hotel and staff! Our wedding was absolutely everything that we wanted because the staff there was so accommodating to our every need. In particular Megan Wherley, our coordinator was AMAZING! It felt as if she was our very own personal wedding planner...she was always available to us, offered great ideas and never said no. I have to say my mother and I coming from New York, were somewhat over the top with what we wanted, but Megan knew just how to handle us and she did her best to get us everything that we asked for...actually I think she did get us everything. Most importantly, Megan is so good at her job that she took so much stress off of me during my wedding planning. Your wedding is in great hands with Megan. Christina, the banquet manager is also a doll and knows what she is doing. She took all of our direction perfectly and set up our dream wedding exactly how we wanted it. She also made sure that throughout the whole night, we were 100% pampered and taken care of. Even the wait staff and bartenders, especially Terry were AWESOME! The drinks were perfect, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere beautiful and the people were the best. The greatest thing about the Gettysburg Hotel is that they allow you to have the wedding of your dreams, accommodating your every wish. Truly, I could not have picked a better venue. Many thanks to the Gettysburg Hotel!

Of course every bride thinks their wedding was perfect, but mine actually was, thanks to the Gettysburg Hotel! The ballroom is a beautiful venue. It held our 175 guests nicely, with plenty of room for dancing, a DJ, a sweetheart table, and a cake table. We had 21 round tables. The vault and the high ceiling both make it a very unique venue. Our guests really enjoyed the atmosphere.\r\rAll the staff was amazing- many of my guests chose to stay at the hotel, so it felt very quaint and comfortable! Megan Wherley was absolutely terrific- so understanding, accessible, and helpful in the days, months, and year leading up to our big day.\r\rThe food was delicious, and there were many options for appetizers and entrees. I highly recommend attending one of their tastings during the year for brides-to-be and grooms-to-be. It really helped us select our dishes.\r\rWe also had our cocktail hour outside down at the train station- definitely ask about this. It was a little chilly in October, but a really unique place to have cocktail hour (this is where Abe Lincoln arrived by train to give the Gettysburg Address).\r\rThe rooms were a bit pricey for our guests, so that was probably the only thing I would change. That being said, the location of the hotel can't be beat. It was nice for our guests to be right in the heart of downtown Gettysburg with so many post-wedding bar options and daytime activities the next day.\r\rThe Gettysburg Hotel was wonderful. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Can't say enough good things- I very highly recommend.

My favorite things about my wedding venue: \r\r1) PERFECT LOCATION. Have you ever been to a wedding where you have to shuttle back and forth from one location to the other? It gets tiring. We had our ceremony on the train platform right behind the hotel and our reception was held in the ballroom. No driving required. Furthermore, there are tons of restaurants, shops, and bars within walking distance from the hotel - so our guests were frolicking and being entertained throughout the weekend. No driving; no fuss; maximum fun had by all. \r\r2) WONDERFUL EVENT POINT PERSON. Planning a wedding is stressful. What (or rather who) kept me sane? Our exceptionally gifted, responsive, responsible, and lovely event point person. She is the one who held my hand every step of the way, assuring me that she had everything under control, that she knew what our venders were doing, and that every detail for our event would be personally addressed by her and her staff. Everyone told me to expect that something would go wrong on our big day. Nothing bad did happen and the event went even better than I could have imagined. Because of the hard work and care she put in, I had the perfect wedding. Plus she is really sweet and very patient with stressed brides. \r\r3. INDIVIDUALITY OF VENUE. I am at the age where I go to a billion weddings a year. Many of those have become a blur of bland banquet halls, but our ceremony was held on the train platform President Lincoln rolled in on before he gave his iconic address; our cocktail hour was in the actual train station; and our reception was in a grand ballroom that used to be the Gettysburg National Bank (built in 1814!) that features original fixtures and a super cool bank vault. Nothing bland about it. \r\rSO, if you are looking for a conveniently located venue that will leave an impression on your guests and will allow for a perfect event - look no further. I have no regrets - just great pictures and even greater memories.

The Gettysburg Hotel was the perfect choice for our daughter Laura's wedding!

I don’t know the words to describe how wonderful my wedding experience was with Gettysburg. Megan – the event coordinator – is an absolutely angel. Everything – EVERYTHING – went smoothly. She handled a lot of stuff before the wedding and everything during the wedding. I was able to completely focus on my husband and me the entire night. I didn’t have to make sure anything was done the way I wanted it – she did it all.\r \r1. Before the wedding…I met Megan at the first bridal show I went to after getting engaged. I was instantly hooked. Throughout the year+ leading up to my wedding, Megan helped keep me on track, gave me ideas when I was at a loss, answered any questions I had, and answered any that I didn’t know I had. I was working 80 hours a week for the last 6 months before the wedding. I couldn’t put much time into planning, and I was a nervous wreck. Megan assured me everything would be ok, and she was right. \r\r2. The day before the wedding…Megan guided us through the rehearsal patiently. Most of my family, although instructed to be ready 15 minutes before, was 15 minutes late. I forgot to bring the decorations (luckily there wasn’t much). And, I had the order of events backwards. She took it in stride and helped us get through it. She had a consultation that afternoon and another wedding that evening, but she worked with us to get the decorations between events. Throughout it all, she kept calming me down when my nerves were getting the best of me. \r\r3. The night of the wedding…oh it was beautiful. It went without a hitch. The worst thing that happened was one of the groomsmen’s tie was ruined with an iron and my fiancé had the wrong shirt – but there was a men’s store right across from the hotel, so that was easily resolved. I have no horror stories like many brides do. She kept everything on time, got people where they needed to go, and managed all of the vendors. When I saw the decorated ballroom – I could not believe how amazing it turned out to be. She checked on us frequently to make sure we were ok. \r\r4. Venue in general…location is great. My guests loved being able to walk around downtown Gettysburg and see the sites. Like I mentioned above, there is a men’s clothing store right there for the unexpected issues with the men. The food at the reception was fantastic. It was served hot, and the servers were great (they checked with me to see how the timing of meal was going and kept the drinks flowing). At the end of the night, I was able to just leave without worrying about clean up. The next day I could pick up my stuff from the vault (very cool feature). When we got to the bridal suit – there was champagne, pieces of cake, chocolate dipped strawberries, and a sweet note from Megan. \r\rI could go on and on about this place. Overall, it is a beautiful venue with the best event coordinator I could have hoped for that made for the wedding of my dreams. We want to renew our vows there on our 5 year anniversary just so we can do it again! \r\rMegan – thank you so much. Love you to pieces!!!! \r

After looking at a few venues around Gettysburg for our wedding reception, The Gettysburg Hotel had the best value for everything that came in their wedding package and the quality of service we received. The ballroom was beautiful and the hotel's location in the center of town made it easy for guests to explore before and after the wedding. The historic feel of the hotel along with the renovations they've done in the last year really fit in with our theme which was vintage with a modern twist. Megan, the Event Manager there, is amazing. We live about an hour and a half away in the DC area. So, planning a wedding, especially one that isn't local, can be challenging, but Megan was so responsive and accommodating, even with last minute changes, that it made things so much easier. She took copious notes in the couple times we met in person on how we wanted things set up, and it was great to be able to leave the decorations with her the day before and trust that everything would get done. She and her staff did a great job with the reception, making everything seem seamless, and making sure that my new husband and I were taken care of before, during, and after the reception. It turned out even better than I could imagine, and I would highly recommend the Gettysburg Hotel to any couple looking for wedding venues in the area.

They were flexible to meet our needs. We packed the house with 220 people and they handled all very well. They did not nickel and dime us. We even extended our reception with an additional hour and I was amazed at how reasonable that was.They gave us plenty of opportunities to taste test their chef through frequent open houses. The hotel was accommodating, comfortable and had reasonable rates. I own a business that creates destination sales incentive programs and with that experience in mind I feel very comfortable recommending The Gettysburg Hotel. The $22,000 included many extras such as the wedding cake which was awesome, a suite for the Bride and Groom and much more.

Other members of the hotel staff also went above and beyond, from getting us a projection screen at the last minute for our rehearsal dinner to placing sheets over all my decorations the day after when we were loading everything in the cars in the pouring down rain to bringing coffee to our sleep deprived bridesmaids while we were getting ready!\r\rThe only downside for me was that the atrium for the cocktail hour was very tight for 170 people and several guests complained that their slices of cake were taken off the table before they could return to their seat from dancing (including mine and my mother's!)

Her professionalism, positive energy, and attention to detail made planning our November 2013 destination wedding a breeze. We planned our wedding within seven months from a distance of four hours away. During the preparation, any question or concern we had was addressed fully in a timely manner. It was greatly reassuring to know that Megan and her staff truly cared about our wedding and our experience; we weren't just a number to them. As to the food/drink, we had a variety of menus from which to choose and we were able to adjust the one we ultimately selected to match the theme of our wedding. Excellent price-point and an amazing value; other venues did not compare to what The Gettysburg Hotel offered. Because we were unfamiliar with local vendors we relied heavily on the list of preferred vendors and we were not disappointed. (Kudos to Shaun of Creative Force Photography and Scott of Great Scott Productions, our wonderful photographer and DJ respectively! And a shout out to The Flower Boutique, too.) With a guest count of 70 we were able to hold both the ceremony and reception in the main ballroom, a plus given that most of our guests were in Gettysburg for the first time. Megan embraced our desire to have medieval elements in our reception and worked with us to balance and incorporate them as best as possible to create our dream environment. She even came up with suggestions that we never even considered. Chef took our menu choices and created a delicious feast (family style service) that many of our guests are still commenting on. The package we chose included the cake which was scrumptious, and I am very picky when it comes to desserts. Megan and her staff took care of set-up/tear down and were attentive throughout the afternoon/evening. All we were really left to do was to enjoy our day. My sister and brother-in-law arranged a breakfast buffet at the hotel for our guests the following morning and the food/service was impeccable as well.The entire staff at The Gettysburg Hotel (general manager, front desk, housekeeping, servers, maintenance, sales office, etc.) took care of us and our guests and ensured that our stay was memorable. It was a gift for us to begin our lives as husband and wife at The Gettysburg Hotel. Although we live in southeastern Virginia, we truly found a \"home\" in Gettysburg. A heartfelt thank you to Megan and the entire staff of The Gettysburg Hotel!

Our wedding reception at the Gettysburg Hotel was perfect! Meghan and the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing. I am a bit of a control freak and Meghan handled every phone call and email from me with patience and the best customer service. No request was too big and she never made me feel like I was being difficult. She made everything about our day run so smoothly all we had to do was show up and enjoy. The ballroom was beautiful. Meghan and her staff set everything up exactly the way I had pictured and made sure every detail was just the way we discussed. They handled all of the set up and tear down so there was nothing for me to stress about. Many of our guests were from out of town and everyone is still raving over their stay at the hotel. Every request they had was met, the rooms were clean, comfortable and worth the price. Our hotel suite was wonderful. We’ve already decided we’ll be spending each anniversary in Gettysburg reliving our wonderful weekend. Thank you to Meghan and to the Gettysburg hotel for helping to make our wedding perfect!

Gettysburg Hotel was a great place to have a wedding reception. This was my son's wedding and we all had a great time. The food was great and so was the service. It was a very nice atmosphere.

The Planning - Our daughter's wedding was a memorable day - thanks to the superb efforts of Megan Wherley, Catering and Events Manager of the Gettysburg Hotel. From the first moments we talked with her, she embraced the vision our daughter and future son-in-law had for their wedding. Throughout the planning period, she listened, offered suggestions, and supported us. Since we were out of state and not in Gettysburg, her promptness in answering our questions and concerns via email or phone helped us feel at ease. She was there at the rehearsal, the day of the wedding, and the morning brunch afterwards. Her behind the scenes direction of the hotel staff and the outside vendors was expertly and professionally performed.\r\rThe Wedding - The banquet room was a beautiful venue for the wedding ceremony and the reception. The Medieval Theme for the wedding was expressed with the guests seated in a spiral for the ceremony and then long tables as if in an old manor for the reception. We gave Megan the latitude to decorate the room/tables with the materials we had brought. Her artistic arrangements on the tables and in the vault highlighted the Medieval theme.Though this was a first time format for the hotel, the staff efficiently arranged the spiral and then reset the room for the reception. In addition to preparing the delicious meal, the chef added his own suggestions for the menu to incorporate the theme. The staff was proficient in serving the meal. After the reception, many of our guests joined us in the Alumni Room to \"party on.\" All went very smoothly and there is nothing we would change.\r\rThe Hotel - Since we are out-of-state, we came a few days early to prepare for the wedding. Our room was very well appointed and quite comfortable. The hotel staff was friendly and efficient. We had a question about how to hang the wedding gown to steam it. The person at the front desk asked the maintenance person who suggested using a luggage cart. Although he was ready to leave for the day, he took the time to bring the cart to our room with tablecloths to cover the base so as not to dirty the gown. The room attendant wished us well for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, our guests arrived before check-in time. The staff at the front desk assigned them rooms as soon as they were available so our guests could relax and freshen-up. Before the wedding, we had pictures taken in the lobby. The hotel staff was accommodating in handling the distraction by the photographers.\r\rThe Brunch - The morning after the wedding, we had a brunch for our guests in one of the meeting rooms. Again, the food was delicious and plentiful. The service by the staff was courteous and efficient. It was a wonderful end to a marvelous wedding weekend.\r\rVery well done, Gettysburg Hotel staff!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience at The Gettysburg Hotel! If you like elegant but affordable, amazing service with genuine smiles, amazing food catered to your needs, and an incredible wedding coordinator to help you pull your wedding day all together...THEN LOOK NO FURTHER! Megan (their wedding coordinator) will be there for you when you need her, giving advice if and when needed and a lending hand with creativity and organization. But what is more, your GUESTS will have an amazing experience at the hotel. From the accommodations to the food (oh, don't get me started on the delicious, melt-in-your-mouth food that the masterful chef provides)! From start to finish I felt supported and cared for by everyone at The Gettysburg Hotel. And I thank them for making my day go so smoothly and...well...perfect!

We had the most amazing experience with the Hotel Gettysburg! We held both our ceremony and reception with the hotel and could not be more pleased. Megan is a real gem and aided us every step of the way. The food was incredible and all guests were happy. And the special touches the hotel extends to the bride and groom is most welcomed!
