About

On WeddingWire since 2009

Cork Factory Hotel is a boutique hotel and wedding venue located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The buildings that this property stands within once housed two of Lancaster's most well-known manufacturing sites, a legacy that is honored in every detail of the hotel's design and ambiance. The team at this venue is thrilled to offer couples everything they need to host a memorable event in one location, from detailed planning services to event spaces that blend history and upscale luxury.

Facilities and Capacity

Exposed wood ceilings, original brick walls, and other architectural details tell the story of the Cork Factory Hotel's industrial past. Today, those same walls surround a hotel and event venue that can accommodate gatherings of all styles and sizes. Before their wedding festivities begin, couples can spend time in the beautiful on-site dressing suites, relaxing with those who mean the most to them. The Warehouse event space at the heart of the venue is an ideal location for wedding ceremonies, with plenty of room for up to 200 guests to watch two nearlyweds become newlyweds. Then, everyone can retire to The Ballroom, Parlor, & Terrace, three rooms combined into one incredible setting for wedding receptions of up to 300 seated guests. Couples can also gather for a rehearsal dinner or other pre-wedding party at the hotel, enjoying a delicious meal in one of the property's private dining rooms.

Services Offered

Cork Factory Hotel is home to 93 guest rooms where newlyweds and their loved ones can stay during their wedding celebration. As couples embark on their journey to "I do," they will have the support of this venue's dedicated events team to bring their vision for their big day to life. From curating day-of-timelines to decorating event spaces, these professionals can do it all. The hotel also offers wedding stationery design services at its in-house studio and boutique, Cork Collection. Guests can sample tasty hors d'oeuvres, plated dishes, and delectable desserts prepared by the venue's exceptional culinary staff. At Cork Factory Hotel, couples can enjoy all the elements of an extraordinary wedding experience.

Best decision ever!

We had the absolute best day at the Cork Factory Hotel! As we all know, planning a wedding can be quite stressful. Our coordinator, Abby, made the process so easy and kept us on track with our timeline throughout the event. Our guests loved the venue (especially the food) and said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. I originally only wanted our fall wedding to be outside, but I wouldn't change a thing about having our ceremony and reception at the Cork Factory. It is such a unique, rustic, and warm space - it fit our aesthetic perfectly. Not to mention having all of our guest staying conveniently down the hall from the ballroom was so easy. I highly recommend renting the bridal and billiard suites as well for getting ready in. I know our hair and makeup team was happy about it because they have the room and set up to pamper us all morning. You are absolutely making the best decision by having your wedding at the Cork Factory Hotel!

Amazing and All-Inclusive

We had our wedding here just a week ago and I wanted to be sure to write a review because everything was amazing! The best part of CFH for us was that it was all-inclusive meaning it was the venue, the caterer, and the accommodation all in one. Every one of our guests was traveling from out of town so having enough accommodations was a huge priority for us. We didn't get penalized for any unused rooms in our block either! We held our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks here as well (in the warehouse) which was so nice because everything was on site and it made it so easy for guests. We also were assigned a coordinator from CFH (Abby, shoutout to you!) which was amazing too. We didn't need to pay extra to have her and she was awesome to work with. She responded to my many many questions and handled so many things day of so that we didn't need to worry. She and her team handled setting up and packing up all of the décor we brought which was unexpected but so nice not to worry about. Many of our guests commented how beautiful the venue was and we definitely agree! I would absolutely recommend Cork Factory to anyone who is getting married in the Lancaster area!!

Our Wedding was a Dream!

To say our experience was amazing would be an understatement! From the first email to the day of the wedding, the communication and clarity were amazing. Our coordinator Jen answered questions quickly and honestly. The entire process was incredibly transparent and easy. I cannot say enough good things about Cork Factory!

Everytime we have had the pleasure of woking with the Cork Factory...it had been a distinctive and unforgettable experience. The exposed brick and timeless decor create something that is hard to replicate. The staff has never disappointed and strives to make sure your event is exactly as planned..big or small.
