I cannot begin to describe the PHENOMENAL service and guidance from Jessica and her team. The entire hotel staff was superb. There was nothing bad I (or any of my guests) could say about this hotel. The food was outstanding, the staff was SO kind and helpful and super fun! Jessica and her team made our wedding reception a night to remember. The room was breathtaking. I envisioned it and it was brought to life. Just writing this review is making me overwhelmingly emotional because of how truly incredible every single person in the hotel is. If you are thinking about booking here for any event, do it! Don’t even second guess it. You will NEVER regret it.

My (now) husband and I had such an incredible reception at the Best Western. Megan was amazing in helping us plan all the details in the year and a half before the wedding. She replied to emails quickly (even after hours) and was very flexible with us. We were able to add awesome station options like a mashed potato bar and a nacho station that everyone loved during cocktail hour. We were able to pay a small amount extra to have the BW do all the decorating and they did an amazing job. The room and all the tables looked great. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal (we did the plated dinner) and the late night snacks. The ballroom is very large and you can pay for the chair covers through the hotel which is very convenient. The basic linens are included and they have preferred vendors with the hotel putting money towards centerpieces and the cake. The BW made planning super easy and I 100% recommend them

I 100% RECOMMEND BEST WESTERN FOR YOUR WEDDING!!! I am currently a graduate student receiving my PhD in anatomy at Penn State University College of Med. There is not a lot I could have done to help set up or tear down for my ceremony or reception, and my hubby and I are on a budget. We had the reception at Best Western, not the cereomy (you can also have your ceremony here). The staff AMAZING, the event coordinators AMAZING, the space AMAZING. The event coordinators I worked with were Jessica, Morgan, Courtney, and Kirsha. Jessica helped me originally but left before my wedding because she had a baby. Morgan took over for her. They didn't miss a beat. EVERYTHING was in order even though the event was handed off. Courtney and Kirsha helped the day of and during the hand off for my wedding. EVERYONE was accommodating, professional, organized, and all of the above. This location was beautiful AND affordable. the cost for dinner was $89 per person (this includes tax and gratuity). $67 for the cheapest dinner option which we had a choice for two entrees both were AMAZING. $27 per person for the cheapest bar option. Even the guests were impressed with the meal! The dinner included vegetable stationed apps with cheese and crackers and dips. I got to choose 4 additional horderves which was stationed fruit assembly, bacon jam tart, asiago phyllo wrapped asparagus and crab cakes. ALSO included in the price was an appetizer, we chose cheese tortellini, and a side salad with choice of two dressings, and bread and butter. During the social hour we had our own PRIVATE room for the bridal party!! We had our own drink station and horderve set up. EVERYONE was take care of. OH and the kids under 11 get their own meal for $19 and kids under 2 are FREE! The event coordinator also offered a vegetarian meal for three of my guests and accommodated my gluten free aunt and an aunt that had other dietary restrictions. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. As husband and wife they set up our suite the night of our wedding with wonderful surprise gifts AND we got a free night stay and free breakfast in the pub the next day. I was also able to reserve space in the pub for breakfast so our family could enjoy breakfast with us. There were very few hiccups at the hotel with communication of staff but everything was resolved and taken care. I really have nothing to complain about! The photos I posted give you an idea of how they set up everything but they don't do the place justice. I recommend going to their wedding website and looking at ALL the wonderful pics and details! https://thecentralhotelharrisburg.com/weddings/wedding-venue/
