Say “I Do” to Lancaster- Holy Trinity Lutheran wedding

Our daughter and son in law celebrated their Big Day in Downtown Lancaster with the perfect weekend pairing of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and the Marriott Convention Center on the square. Our daughter and son in law wanted a modern yet classic wedding and Trinity Lutheran is a stunning and sacred space with history dating back to the 1700’s. Sunlight infused the stained glass windows as the bride made her way to the altar. Trinity is stately and beautiful and yet our guests needing accommodation were able to be present. The staff and Pastor were beyond gracious and the music was superb. They now offer livestreaming which allows those not able to travel to still capture the moment.
We paired our wedding vows at Trinity with a reception at the Marriott which was the former Watt and Shand department store . The wedding party was able to walk to and from the Marriott in the downtown to the cheers of passersby. Where else can such an experience happen? The church and city were excellent for photography. Say “I Do” to your wedding at Holy Trinity and you will be glad you did.

Amazing and memorable experience at Trinity!

My husband and I had an amazing and memorable experience at Holy Trinity Church! The pastor and staff were very helpful and responsive to our questions, and they were accommodating to our requests. This historic church is in the heart of downtown Lancaster and is breathtaking! It was a beautiful backdrop as we made our vows in front of our family and friends. The church is in walking distance to popular restaurants and hotel accommodations. On-site parking at the church was also a plus! We highly recommend Trinity for a wedding!

Simply the best!

What an amazing setting for a Lancaster, PA wedding. The historic building offers pure sights into a part of American history with every aspect of the venue being stunning. We would be married at Holy Trinity over and over again if we could. The staff was amazing and the service even better, but nothing beats the ambiance of the sanctuary.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
