Moiraine R. Sent on 03/05/2024Absolutely stellar
I could not have asked for a better venue, event coordinator, or day of coordinator. We did not have a SINGLE hiccup with our wedding from start to finish. Beth messaged with every update and every next step. She was patent with me when I didn't have myself together and made an exception to a minor issue we had no questions asked. Matia was ON TOP OF IT the ENTIRE time we were there from the rehearsal to the very last song. She made sure we had drinks and anything we could have needed. Everything stayed perfectly to schedule because of her. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. They let us set up the day before so we didn't have to do it day of and scramble. The food was DELICIOUS and the drinks were top tier. I seriously could not have asked for a better day. If I had to go back and do it all over again I would pick The Lodges every time. -

Samuel S. Sent on 10/30/2023An incredible all-in-one venue
We had a truly incredible wedding at the Lodges at Gettysburg (LAG). From the very first day we toured the venue to the post-wedding teardown, LAG staff were kind and helpful at every step. Our day-of coordinator, Beth Senseney, was incredible and worked with us throughout the process to create the wedding we were dreaming of. She was very responsive (even over email!) and had a lot of great ideas she brought to the table to help us turn our vision into reality. Since LAG also does the catering and lodging I'll also say that the food was amazing and all our guests were raving about it, the individual lodges for guests are lovely and our guests had a great time staying on-site, the location is exactly what we wanted (rural, historic, elegant), and we were able to decorate the ballroom to our exact specifications. One of our favorite things about this whole process was that the Lodges has cultivated a fantastic group of vendors who have done dozens of weddings together- we just picked a few from the LAG list and they all worked together to create a perfect ceremony and reception.
All in all I really think that if you choose the Lodges at Gettysburg as your wedding venue you will not just have a fun wedding, you will be able to create some amazing, lasting memories for both you and your guests without any of the all-too-common stories of negative vendor/venue experiences.The Lodges at Gettysburg's reply:
Dear Sophia & Sam,

Perfect, dreamy, stress-free day
We wish we could give six stars! We got married late this summer at the Lodges and feel so lucky to have found this venue. Natural beauty, historic charm, a truly seamless planning process, incredible location, memorable “destination” weekend for our guests, amazing food, the most helpful staff, and an all star vendor list made for the perfect weekend in every way. Beth was our coordinator and she was a brilliant collaborator in every sense of the word. In what could have been a very stressful weekend, she somehow kept all the details in check for us and our guests. She thinks of everything!! Plus, she’s so much fun to work with and from the first time we met her, we felt we could be our true selves. One particular moment that sticks out is after the ceremony when Heather (the bride) went to get her dress bustled. Beth brought her a drink and hors d'oeuvres which was so needed! These are the ‘small things’ that marketing can’t really describe but truly made it the absolute best experience and the happiest day of our lives. Beth has also done a ton of weddings with the vendors on their “preferred list” which gave us much confidence that everything would go smoothly. And it did :) If you’re considering the Lodges for your wedding, DO IT!!!The Lodges at Gettysburg's reply:
Dear Heather & Andrew,
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience. Our team was honored to be a part of your special day. We are delighted that you and your guests had a great time. We hope that you will be back to visit us for your anniversaries and for many years to come!
Best regards,

Summer Wedding at The Lodges
We had our wedding at The Lodges this summer and it was everything we pictured for our day and MORE! With guests being able to stay on site, it created an intimate atmosphere where we saw all of our favorite people ALL weekend long! From coordinating all of the little details, to making sure the bride was taken care of the day of, this wedding experience was stress free and absolutely wonderful! Beth made everything run smoothly and made sure all of our requests were handled! The food was absolutely delicious and the complimentary suite for bride and groom for the night of was beautiful! (Complete with cake and food) if you’re thinking of getting married in PA, I highly recommend The Lodges! Our guests are STILL raving about their experience too!!!The Lodges at Gettysburg's reply:

Covid Delayed Wedding
My husband and I got engaged during the pandemic. We originally had plans to be married over in a resort, however due to the constant changes that Covid brought all of us, we decided to do something back home and go there for our honeymoon. We wanted something small and intimate for immediate family, but we also wanted to celebrate with our close friends and other family. The lodges was more than welcoming to accommodate those needs and wants we wanted for our day. We decided to have a small ceremony that included our bridal party and our immediate family. From the bridal suite allowing me time with my girls to get ready for the day, from all the groomsmen hanging out in the grooms room we picked for the day which included a pool table and different things for them to do to keep them occupied while we got ready, it was the perfect set up with lots of room. The ballroom was gorgeous and everything we could have asked for especially with the staircase decorated. We celebrated with a small dinner afterwards at the venue which allowed us time to spend with our guests and family members while enjoying food and drinks after the big day.
We went for our honeymoon in Dominican Republic and came back 3 weeks later to the Lodges to hold our reception in the place where we got married. From the decorations, to the food, and of course the staff, we were MORE THAN HAPPY with how the day was. Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was and how attentive the staff was to our guests to get them anything and everything that day.
I cannot say enough about Beth and her wonderful staff who made sure on both days that we were taken care of from something as little as making sure that the temperature in the suites were perfect for us to helping me pin up my dress after someone accidentally stepped on it. We love the Lodges and all of their staff members for making our day everything we have waited for.
We will definitely be celebrating with them for anniversaries to come and date nights out! I HIGHLY recommend choosing them as your vendor!

Beth is absolutely amazing to work with! She was so responsive to emails and phone calls and we always could rely on her to make sure everything was taken care of. All staff at the Lodges are so friendly and helpful. Even at the date night in March, staff constantly checked on us and made sure we knew that we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding. The venue is gorgeous and we had such happy wedding guests! Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back to visit! -

Jodi L. Sent on 10/12/2022Excellent experience from start to finish
We had decided on a small, lowkey wedding and knew our options were limited when we started planning in April for a wedding by the end of the year. Beth from the Lodges replied quickly and helped us through ever step of the process. She was very responsive to emails and our endless questions. The day of, she was invaluable as we navigated rain showers and had to make decisions on whether to hold our ceremony indoors or out. Absolutely nothing bad to say- so flexible with vendors and helped to make our day stress-free and flowing along. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, even if you are having a smaller wedding! -

Fairytale Dream Wedding!
Wow I'm not even sure where to start! All around wonderful experience. 10/30/20 covid bride! Beth was wonderful from the beginning. We fell in love with the Lodges back Dec 2019, we were able to have a week to decide if this was the place we wanted to go with which was great! You really can't beat the Lodges with water front ceremony and indoor back up options, the ballroom, guys and girls getting ready rooms and the lodges so you and all your guests can stay the night at a discount! The Wedding package included so many extra! tables, linens, center pieces, table numbers, free spa credits, if you choose one of the bakeries they recommend, its included in the price! Plus so many fun extras! They have a Date Night for couples to try the food and with all the recommended vendors that they provide. (of course you can choose your own)
Beth was available every step of the way through all my constant emails and questions. When Covid hit and things had to change Beth emailed us right away and already had a plan in motion. They set up a large tent! I never had to change my date and when it got closer the restrictions changed and was able to have my wedding inside. They had so much safety measures in place to keep everyone safe and happy. Sadly some of my guest weren't able after I already gave my count to the caterer, but I let Beth know and they were able to box up the extra meals for me so we could take them home the next day! The food was wonderful from the Carriage House Inn! After the wedding my husband and I went to our Lodge and waiting for us was some of our desserts (from Stone House Bakery- Yum!) food from the reception and a bottle of champagne! We were definitely spoiled.
I can't thank Beth and everyone else at the Lodges for helping make my dream wedding come true! From start to finish it was the best day ever! You honestly can't go wrong if you have your wedding here! -

Perfect and Amazing !! Best location for our outdoor wedding by the lake. We’ve been coming to The Lodges at Gettysburg for 3 years now..We got engaged there and decided we had to have our wedding there. Since we live so far away we contacted Beth and she was so pleasant and made our dreams come true .. We love the Lodges and the staff was amazing too .. Beth took care of all the details and then some. ( sorry for all the emails. Haha ) she is amazing and goes out of her way for you !! ( like even driving me to the cabin to change out of my dress ) haha. We had a nice small family rustic wedding. The details were perfect and the Horse and Carriage ride added the final touch .. Beth gave us vendors to choose from and coordinated with them and made it easy on us .. Everyone was amazing and helpful !! They make you feel at home and special !! We had our Family and Friends stay there for 4 days to enjoy and relax ! We were all able to hang out and enjoy the cabins and the beautiful property.. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious!! The Chef did an awesome job on the dinner. The steak and fish were delicious!! Loved it !! Our bartender Kolten was the best !! We absolutely loved Everything the lodges did for us and how they went out of their way to accommodate our requests !! We were truly blessed !!

Groom's family, we loved the choice!
Our son and daughter in law got married at the Lodges in May. We had a large contingent of guests stay at for one to two nights and everyone loved the cabins. The staff was very responsive before, during and after the wedding, including shuffling lodging as needed for our numerous guests. We were able to do some decorating the day before to personalize the reception space, wooded walkway down to the water, etc. I would highly recommend adding the farewell breakfast the following morning. It added such a nice relaxed sendoff for guests and the bridal party after a busy weekend. Photos here are courtesy of Anne Casey Photography, our wonderful photographer for the day. -

Absolutely stunning venue and wonderful experience!
My husband and I got married at The Lodges in May, and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day or pleasant experience. From start to finish, we felt so cared for by the kind staff at The Lodges. Beth was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, from our initial tour to all the coordination leading up to the day. Lisa was wonderful to work with day of, and she helped communicate with the vendors and kept everything on schedule.
Some highlights of our day were the horse and carriage, cabins for guests, the bonfire, and the farewell breakfast. It truly did feel like a whole wedding weekend, since many people stayed onsite and attended the farewell breakfast. We appreciated all of the time we had to decorate the space to make it feel unique to us, although it's beautiful on its own. We could not have been happier with the staff, food, venue itself, or experience here and highly recommend The Lodges! -

We are blessed that in choosing the Lodges at Gettysburg for our venue, we found Beth, Kayla, and Bob! We are still in awe when we look back on everything they did for us to help prepare our wedding. Their flexibility, attention to detail, and experience in the industry are just a few things that stand out about our experience with the Lodges. Our coordinators, Beth and Kayla were prompt in their response times and did everything in their power to help us save money. The Lodges caterer, Great American caterers, owned by Bob, was fantastic! The portion sizes were great for our PA dutch family, and the food was a hit. Overall, the best thing we did was choose the Lodges for our wedding venue!The Lodges at Gettysburg's reply:
Hi Courtney, Thank you for sharing your experience and we are so delighted that you were able to have your dream wedding with us.

Planning a wedding from AZ was not the easiest thing to do but having Beth, Kayla, and vendors from The Lodges preferred vendor list made all the difference. We looked through a few venues online, but quickly knew this was the place for us. It felt comfortable from the pictures alone and we love the area. Our vendors and Lodge staff pulled together to make our wedding experience exactly what we wanted. We were able to visit the venue a few months prior to the wedding and it just confirmed everything we hoped for. We had our ceremony inside and everything looked great. If you can schedule yours during some warmer weather the outside ceremony space couldn't be more perfect. Might not be for everyone but we found it beautiful. The separate cocktail hour space had the perfect vibe and we were able to join our guests before introductions. That brings me to the bartender. If you didn't know what you wanted, you found out pretty quickly as he seemed to know that if you wanted a cranberry vodka that just meant you haven't tried an upside down pineapple something or other. Everyone enjoyed his skills and professionalism. Now for the reception. The vendors have worked together multiple times which made things work without everyone coming to us for questions all night. The meals were very tasty and got many thumbs up from our guests. You will see highly decorated reception room photos online but this room doesn't need much to make it look beautiful. We didn't have flowers on tables and only had our DJ's effects plus some extra touches that our families pulled together. The Lodges provides centerpieces that have just enough character and charm to get the job done. Keep it simple, save some money, and let the room do the work. It really did feel comfortable and classy. Our package included a sparkler send off that The Lodges organized completely and coordinated with our photographer. Perfect way to almost end the evening and get some cool photos. I say almost because our package also included a bonfire from 8pm-10pm. Some guests headed for their lodges but many gathered around the fire to share stories and enjoy some coffee and hot chocolate. Even though it was weather-permitting and there was slight drizzle, The Lodges made it happen. We said our good nights and headed to the Michigan Lodge for our wedding night which was also part of the package for one night. Loved this lodge!! All our guests stayed at several lodges on the property and we got to see most of them. There are several different configurations that make it easy for families to share different spaces. Some had 3 rooms with multiple sleeping options in each. The lodges have a lodge atmosphere. Might see a bug or two and maybe every corner didn’t get the white glove treatment but they were cleaner than some of the rooms in my home. No issues at all with cleanliness and everything worked. Plenty of hot water and these really cool electric fireplaces. Almost forgot…the standard grooms room where we were supposed to get ready was being remodeled so we were given the upgrade room which had a pool table and some other touches that made that time a little easier to relax before the ceremony. The bride's room had the same comfort and class to provide for all those perfect wedding pics. A few extra touches is all that is needed to give it your own personality and flare. Make this venue your spot and you can rest easy that your wedding day will turn out amazing. -

The Lodges at Gettysburg proved to be the perfect place for our wedding reception. The view from the Lodges made us fall for the venue and we were glad that we hosted the event here. It was a great experience from beginning itself, as Beth helped and guided us at every step to keep our event within the budget and yet have the best experience. Luckily for us, the fall colors were at its peak on the day of our event, and it looked gorgeous. Our event manager Matia and other staff members were helpful and ensured that the event was organized in a smooth manner. Another great feature at the venue were the lodges (rooms), which were spacious, comfortable, and artistic. Nona assisted with all our guests’ reservations, and we did not even have to look into it. Everything at the Lodges was well managed and executed. Only downside was that due to Covid-1, breakfast and lunch was not available at the venue. The Lodges at Gettysburg undoubtedly provides the perfect gateway to host your wedding and would strongly recommend it to my family and friends.

We have nothing but great things to say about The Lodges at Gettysburg! Beth and her team made our day a dream. They listen to your every need and make your dreams come true. When we first saw the property, we knew that we would be saying our vows down by the lake. The amenities are perfect for small or large weddings. We had our welcome dinner, ceremony, and reception onsite. The food was amazing, the packages are fairly priced, the lodging was very accommodating for our out of town guests, the views are tranquil, and the staff is beyond helpful. We never had a doubt that our day would be short of amazing. -

I cannot begin to express how happy I am with everything that the Lodges at Gettysburg did for us. My husband and I booked the Lodges as our venue in June 2020 for our October 2021. From booking, Beth was there the entire way to help us plan out our day and answer questions for us! Beth provided us with a list of preferred vendors and we picked all of our vendors from the list! Everyone was amazing and the Lodges also offers a spa credit when purchasing a reception package! We had most of our family and wedding party stay at the lodges on property for the wedding weekend which made the experience so great since we were able to hang out with everyone before, during, and after our celebration. At the reception, the food was SO GOOD and all of our guests are still talking about it! The service and staff were all so friendly and helpful and we really felt loved and special on our day. They made us feel at home and it felt more special than your typical wedding venue. We absolutely loved our day and I couldn't have imagined going anywhere else! Beth, thank you so, so much for everything you did for us and thank you to your wonderful team! We will definitely be back to stay soon! -
