Everything we wanted and more

I can't say enough about our experience with having our wedding at the Red Lion Hotel in Harrisburg. Brenda was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to help answer every question, address every concern, and help make our big day the most wonderful day of our lives! The staff members were exceptionally polite, courteous, and attentive. If I had the day to do over again I would not change a thing, and I would definitely be having my wedding at Red Lion.

Very Happy Couple

My husband and I got married July 28th 2018 and had our reception at the Red Lion Hotel. We had a few options for a reception venue, but from the price to the accommodations, we were both very happy with our choice.

From day one, Brenda made sure that we had all the information we needed to not only plan our wedding reception but also to make it one that we would remember forever. She went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy with every decision being made.

The day of the wedding was perfect. My husband and I did not need to worry about a thing. The Red Lion Hotel staff was extremely professional and took care of everything. We would recommend The Red Lion Hotel to anyone getting married in the Hershey/Harrisburg area.

We shopped around for hotel accommodations for our wedding guests, there were plenty of choices, and I am so glad that we chose Red Lion Hotel Harrisburg Hershey. The rooms were lovely, the impromptu after-reception party in the bar was fun and the servers were patient and professional, and when I called at 2 am to ask if I could pay for my guests breakfasts, the front desk was very accommodating. My soon to be niece in law is having a wedding in the area next year and she is also booked with Red Lion for her guests. Lovely hotel.

My husband and I used the Red Lion Hotel for our wedding reception April 8th 2017. Throughout the entire process (and of course on our special day) they were simply amazing! Each step was reviewed with us; there was personalization; and every employee was extremely accommodating to make our evening that extra special! Wonderful service from wonderful people!

My husband and I got married here on Sept 19, 2015. We had about 6 months to plan before our wedding, and everything went smoothly with our friendly and experienced coordinator Brenda. The wedding package really helped simplify the process by collaborating with vendors used to working with each other. The chef was very accommodating and spiced up the food for our Latin and Asian guests. Having the Presidential Suite was another plus since I had plenty of space to hang out and get ready with my bridesmaids and nieces. I appreciated having the option of doing the ceremony outside on the deck, then moving inside to the Dauphin Ballroom for the reception. Overall, it was a great venue for our special day and definitely gave us the most bang for our buck!

I'm the brides mother, (Rosanne) and I must say leading up to the wedding, I was nervous, always expecting the unexpected. You always hope for the best, but that's not always the case. Well, the red lion hotel crew especially Brenda made my daughters dream wedding come true.

From day one , Brenda went above and beyond. She took the time to explain everything, from prices to rooms set up, to the food to everything.

Months of planning and she was there on top of things helping us with everything.

The day of the wedding , everything looked like a million bucks , and the whole red lion hotel crew was amazing making sure our guests were taken care of .

Thank you for making my daughters and son in laws special day amazing

For months my fiance (then) and I were undecided where to get married and picking a venue. We are both pick!y! Until we met Brenda from the Red Lion Hotel, and she made all of our dream weddings come true.

From day one , We have never experecienced such a professional person, she took the time to explain everything from prices to the very last detail of where can the guests go smoke. Every time I would call her, wich seemed 10 thousand times, she was kind, did not feel like I bothered her and took the time to answer and help every question we had.

months of planning she was there, until the big day came, and walking in the ballroom where the reception was held my wife and I plus our parents plus our guests were all taken away.

The red lion hotel crew went above and beyond. it was absolute amazing how they set up everything, the place looked amazingly beatiful, the bartenders were awesome and of course Brenda from the time we walked in the door she made sue the bride and I and our party and guests were taken care of 100 percent.

for anyone looking to get married I highly recommend this place , you won't be disappointed, do not hesitate to call Brenda and start your dream wedding like my wife and I did!

Shout out to Brenda at the HI. She is amazing at her job. She answers questions quickly and makes planning go smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything on our big day; we could just show up and enjoy. Shout out to Angee too. She led us through the reception from arrival to the end. She checked in to see how we were doing. We had the best time. Everything was handled with care and professionalism.
