Kimberly Gol Sun, Dec 4, 2:02 PM (2 days ago) to Michele Michelle, We want to thank you for your time and attention to detail. T



Michelle,
We want to thank you for your time and attention to detail. The rehearsal dinner was fabulous along with the setup and decorations. Having the room for the after party from the wedding was wonderful for more intimate conversations with family and being able to say goodbye for those that traveled a good distance. We had a wonderful weekend and wanted to let you know that your planning helped make it very seamless and pleasant for all.
Happy Holidays to you!

Best wedding ever!

If I had to do my wedding over, there is nothing I would change. Hanover Grande Ballroom was the best decision we made!! Shelley was so helpful throughout the entire process! The Lehigh Room (our room) was gorgeous- rustic with a fireplace and outdoor area, just my style. It was spacious and very affordable. We didn’t have to worry about finding a food vendor, a drinks vendor, a cake vendor- it was all included and made everything so easy! The food was amazing, the people were amazing and the room was amazing. The set up so beautifully. Truly an amazing place. 10000/10 would recommend. Book your wedding here!!

Best Day of Our Lives

We were complete newbies at wedding planning when we started our search for venues. We looked at many options in the search for our reception. Cost and convenience, including ample parking, were definitely important issues for us all along. The Hanover Grande was recommended by a family member who had used the hotel venue for gatherings before and had very good experiences to report.

Michelle the wedding coordinator was such a great help and so easy to work with every step of the way. She made a process, that could have been nerve racking, into a comfortable walk in the park. She cheerfully answered numerous phone calls and emails in her upbeat way. She recommended decorations, vendors for us to contact and gave us step by step guidance. We could not have expected a better experience. We received many compliments from our guests including some people saying it was the best wedding they ever went to, which said a lot because many had been to a lot of weddings.

Michelle and her staff did many little things like handling last minute decorations and changes without an issue. The tables and place settings looked fantastic. The food was excellent and we received many compliments on it.

As the bride, I felt like a Queen for the day. Anything I asked for, I was given, or was handled by a staff member. It was an experience I never forget.

Excellent service and delicious food!

Thank you to all the staff at Hannover for making our reception amazing! Thank you Michele Hassay, Cat, Alex and the full event and service staff for their excellent hospitality. The reception was well organized. The staff was very attentive to our needs. The food was amazing and our guest are still taking about it. The hummus station and nacho shooters were a great appetizers. I would highly recommend this venue.

Nothing short of amazing!

Shelley and her team were so fun, flexible, and kind to work with. We had such an easy going planning experience and had an absolute blast the day of our wedding, without worrying about a thing! We could not recommend the venue more, and we cannot thank everyone at HGB enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

Wedding 2.0

Our wedding was the most perfect day and Hanover Grande ballroom and their staff were a huge part of that! We originally had our wedding set for 4.3.21 but with COVID restrictions for guest capacity, they were extremely accommodating. We were able to choose our new date 4.9.22 seamlessly! The planning was stress free. Michele and Kathi were extremely responsive to all of my questions! Not only was everything leading up to the wedding great, our wedding day was truly perfect. Our bartender, Alex, was personable and connected with all of our guests! The entire staff that night were so nice and professional! Food was amazing! The gazebo and grounds made for the perfect spring photos too! My husband and I have no complaints! Highly recommend!

The perfect day

Our wedding day was on 4/23/2022. The only word to describe the day is “perfect”
We booked our venue, maybe a few months prior to the event and it went smoother than could ever imagined.
Our coordinator, Michele was the reason for our experience being perfect. She was fantastic to work with and very responsive. Such a wonderful lady she is!!

The food was exceptional and the bar was great. We had the best time ever.

April Reception 2022

We had booked the Lehigh Room in February of 2020 for April of 2021, but with the Pandemic we did move it to April of 2022. Everything the day of was perfect! Michele who is our coordinator was fantastic to work with, responsive, and just a wonderful planner! The food was amazing as was the bar, and the atmosphere was everything we hoped it would be! We wanted a small room for our 60 person wedding, and it exceeded our expectations!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
