Had a perfect wedding reception here!!
Maureen was also so awesome to work with!! She was so accommodating to all of our requests, big or small, and met with us several times to iron out details and make we felt okay w/ the arrangements. From the menu tasting to reserving side rooms for getting ready to surprise-upgrading our comped suite, we felt so taken care of. She was also present the night before and the whole day of the wedding to take care of any last-minute things. She and the rest of the staff were so warm and definitely helped us feel less stressed about the craziness of wedding planning. We have zero complaints whatsoever -- thank you so much for making our wedding day so special!!!
Our dream wedding come true!!
A Dream Come True
The level of care, professionalism, and communication we received, especially from Maureen Schoenbauer, was outstanding. She made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. We always felt like our wedding truly mattered.
Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the venue was, how incredible the food tasted, and how special the entire celebration felt. The room, service, and attention to detail were exceptional.
We would absolutely choose the Orrington Hotel again and again. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, know that you will be in wonderful hands and surrounded by elegance, warmth, and excellence.
