Forever Thankful for Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey

All I can say is “WOW”! I reached out to Crowne Plaza about 10 months before my actual wedding date. From day one, Kathleen Rooker was AMAZING! She met with me as much as I needed, e-mailed with me, and was an absolute angel! I was able to run ideas past her, ask questions, and she even told me suggestions that I would have never thought of. I had already hired a day of coordinator, but Kathleen ended up being a built in coordinator all along! The entire staff at Crowne Plaza was so accommodating, during our wedding weekend. We had a lot of out of town guests and they made their transition as smooth as possible. The food was great and the waiters were super helpful! The bar tenders down in the lobby level were equally amazing and allowed us to continue an after party, when the wedding was over! Crowne Plaza went above and beyond and if I had yo redo this day again, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Our daughter's and son-in-law's wedding reception was held at the Crowne Plaza in Harrisburg. Under the leadership of Nicole Evans and her staff, the event planner for the hotel, the reception went off exactly as we had hoped and planned. The hotel's staff was friendly and helpful throughout the process and went "over-and-above the call of duty" on the day of the event. The facility was beautiful, the food was the best that I have ever had at a wedding reception, and the personnel were exceptional. I would definitely recommend this venue and their planner, Nicole Evans, for your event!

Nicole Evans is the best of the best! From day one, she was friendly, positive, & very easy to work with. She saw our vision & carried it out 100%. As soon as we arrived to our reception, she greeted us with a drink & a smile. She made sure everything ran smoothly until the very end! We had a big crowd (250ish people) and the service was excellent- dinner was served quickly & we could get the party started. Nicole & the rest of the staff at the Crowne are definitely the best crew to have plan your wedding! It doesn't hurt that the wedding group rate for room is 99 dollars! All of our out of town guests spent the night & loved the low rate.

This was my third child getting married. Let me say, Nicole Evans is FABULOUS! When she says, Don't worry and let us take care of things, she means it! Although my other two weddings were beautiful, the were a lot more stressful and a lot more work for myself and family and friends.
We delivered everything to Nicole a couple days before wedding and she handled everything! It looked beautiful. It looked perfect!
Also, Bobby was my daughter and son-in-law's personal assistant and he did a great job!
One more thing....my husband runs a business in Harrisburg and some of his employees were guests at the wedding, when he went back to work on Monday, they told him the staff at the reception was wonderful. They were all smiling when the doors opened and said this is going to be a great night! My encounter with the staff could not have been better. Anything I asked for was delivered with a smile.
I know the hotel is under new ownership, but, in my experience, the staff you have in place for your wedding reception goes above and beyond. Nicole Evans is a true professional and an expert at what she does!
Also, Hammaker Flowers provided Exactly what my daughter asked for and at a reasonable price!
I could go on and on.
This was such a Positive experience!

What a wonderful experience it was working with Amy for our daughter and son in law's wedding. She was extremely gracious, encouraging even as I stressed unnecessarily and helpful beyond measure. She and her staff helped us pull off a flawless event that was not only beautiful and memorable but fun. We highly recommend anyone looking to book a venue to choose the Crowne Plaza Harrisburg for an equally wonderful experience. Thank you, Amy!

After spending some frustrating time at a bridal show, I decided to stop at one more booth. Amy from the Crowne Plaza could tell I was one overwhelmed gal! She gave me the run down of everything the Crowne had to offer and after some deliberation, we signed!
Our coordinator, Amy, was absolutely awesome! She made sure every detail was taken care of. She kept in contact with all of my other vendors and kept me sane when putting me in my place!
The package they put together for us included sooo much! My guests loved the venue and the food. They loved that it was easy to get to and the ease of staying at the hotel. The hotel accommodated our needs for our ceremony and made it look quite unique.
If I had to do the whole experience over again, I would definitely choose The Crowne.
We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

We had our reception at the Crowne Plaza in Harrisburg and it was an absolutely amazing experience. We worked closely with Amy Shadday and she was wonderful to work with. She bent over backwards to help us and make our reception a wonderful experience. She was honest and up front with us in all aspects along the way. She really took good care of us and made our reception a resounding success!

The reception is one of the biggest expenses of the day and it was worth every penny. Special thank you to Amy and her Staff for such a wonderful, professional event.

I used the Crowne Plaza for my wedding block of rooms. We booked 68 rooms and the customer service far exceeded my expectations. Amy kept me informed of who had booked rooms and helped me track down guests that didn't book under the blocked room rate. The front desk was amazing about getting the gift bags to the guests on time and were so nice to everyone who needed a late checkout for flights. All the staff were very patient about the large party in the bar both Friday and Saturday night. We also hosted a breakfast in the restaurant Sunday morning. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. The services provided by the hotel far exceeded my expectations and would definitely use them again! The room rate was also very reasonable. Thank you Amy, you did a great job coordinating everything for me. Ellen
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
