Marriott Montgomery House Wedding

My husband and I were planning a small wedding with just 10 guests but we were having difficulty finding the right match for our “micro wedding”. We came across the Montgomery House at the Marriott Lancaster Convention Center and when we reached out to their event team, they immediately welcomed us with open arms, listened to our plans, asked is the right questions, and gave us pricing options upfront. Redi ended up being our event coordinator and answered the long list of questions I had. On the day of our wedding she was even there to make sure everything went smoothly. I am so thankful to Redi, Becky, and their entire team for helping my husband and I have the wedding we wanted.

Absolutely outstanding experience!

Many thanks to Rebecca Nett and her staff for making our fairy tale wedding come true on New Year's Eve at the Lancaster Marriott on Penn Square!!! From the moment we arrived on 12/30 through the day after breakfast, our guests and us were treated like royalty. Becky attended to every detail and made sure we were happy and satisfied. She and her staff displayed superior professionalism at all times and were wonderful to work with! We highly recommend them for any catering needs you might have. Many, many thanks again!!!

The Lancaster Marriott has all the trimming that you could want. Several really great ball rooms, side rooms for your bridal party to stage their entrance prior to the reception and a varied choice of menus. We like how they have a great cocktail area to keep the guests busy prior to opening the ballrooms. Your guests will find their accomadations to be lovely if they choose to stay too.
