We found Excelsior in May of 2019 and had initially planned to get married in June 2021, opting for a nearly 2 year engagement because we loved Excelsior so much, and they were booked solid for 2020. With the uncertainty of the pandemic still in early 2021, we chose to post-pone our wedding another year. Excelsior was so kind and accommodating about this.
We have been trying to put into words how amazing our experience working with Excelsior was and there just aren’t any that capture it. Our wedding day was even better than we imagined it could be. We had countless people tell us that it was not only the best wedding they'd ever been to, but the most beautiful venue as well. The food was incredible, and the execution for the entire event was seamless. Given the choice, we’d get married at Excelsior 20 times over.

Excelsior is the most perfect venue we could have ever hoped to find for our wedding day. We had scoped out many venues to tour in the Maryland and Pennsylvania areas for our wedding day, and fell in love with Excelsior just from their photos and reviews alone. The owners, Kelly and John, took us through the entire venue on our tour and we connected with them and the space right away. The fact that their staff, tables and chairs, and catering were all included in the venue price was perfect. We brought our parents with us to their tasting event which was so unique - their team put on a full event for many couples so we could get a close idea of what our guests would experience on our wedding day. Every single thing we tasted was delicious - and all our friends and family raved about the quality on our wedding day. We even had their team put together a dessert table for us - it all went so well that there were no leftovers! Kaitlyn was an amazing point of contact for all things Excelsior and Signature Catering - and worked flawlessly with our day of coordinator as well. Excelsior also has a connection with Red Rose Beverage Solutions who we utilized to procure and return most of our spirits for the day. All in all we could not recommend this venue and their team more! We would book with Excelsior over and over again, we truly had our dream wedding and could not be more thankful! The quality you get at Excelsior is worth every single penny spent.

Excelsior – My husband and I truly cannot thank the Excelsior team enough for bringing our dream day to life on August 27, 2021. We booked our wedding all the way back in November of 2018 and over nearly 3 years, a pandemic and a postponement, Kelly, John and Kaitlyn supported us the whole way through. They were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Excelsior is simply a dream, and our wedding day was nothing short of magical. This venue is not cookie cutter – it’s unique, historical, filled character and glamour! Our guests were blown away by the multi-level property. From the Empire Room for our ceremony & dinner, to the Terrace and Catacombs for cocktail hour, to the Grande Salon for dancing, our guests raved about how they have never experienced a wedding like ours before. One thing that we loved the most about Excelsior is that they are open to create new ideas, concepts, recipes, and designs! Excelsior takes the time to get to know their couples and craft a custom experience for them and their guests. My husband and I are so happy we chose Excelsior for our most special celebration. There is truly no other place we could have imagined for our wedding!


Signature Catering on King – The number one thing we heard from our guests following cocktail hour and dinner was that it was the “BEST wedding food they have ever had!”. Kaitlyn, who heads Excelsior’s in-house catering, was the most amazing individual to work with on our event logistics and catering. She was so thorough with each and every little detail! From planning out our floor plan, to dinner pairings, to custom cocktail recipes and hors d’oeuvres, not one detail is left undiscussed or unplanned. Along with the expert planning, Excelsior’s in-house catering offers some truly spectacular catering options. The Seafood Bar, which I absolutely recommend, blew away our guests with it’s presentation and variety during cocktail hour! When my husband and I told Kaitlyn that we loved to order charcuterie at restaurants, she shared that she could make custom ‘table toppers’ of meats and cheeses. For our signature cocktails, my husband and I suggested custom recipes and the catering team nailed the execution. When you choose Excelsior, you are also choosing Signature Catering on King and we could not be happier to work with Kaitlyn and her amazing team!
