Reviews of Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square
Review summary
The wedding venue, Montgomery House at the Marriott, received high praise from multiple reviewers. The Exchange Rooftop Restaurant offered a picturesque setting with floor-to-ceiling windows and breathtaking views, ideal for ceremonies. The attentive and accommodating event coordinator, Redi, was highlighted for her stellar service and professionalism. Guests were impressed by the exquisite food selection, elegant decor, and seamless event execution. Overall, reviewers highly recommended the venue for its beautiful setting and exceptional staff.
Perfect Day and unique Venue: The Exchange!
Flexibility on the Marriotts' part and their event coordinator, Redi surpassed perfection. We were originally scheduled for a wedding when a catastrophic snowstorm hit the area and shut the city down. We were able to move everything to two weeks later without a hitch.
The venue is one of a kind with floor to ceiling windows, the most picturesque view of the city, especially at sunset, and an unforgettable veranda with the best picturesque skyscape.
The food was nothing short of exquisite. They offer above and beyond anything that is on their regular food menu. We are talking extensive meat and cheese boards with all the accompaniments, seafood towers, ahi tuna, oysters, wings, tempura vegetables, hummus, brie bites, lamb kebabs.....and more! That is just appetizers.
The meal is then prepared freshly in front of you with an assortment of pizzas, pasta and wood fired oven baked cod and steak along with some creative salads.
People were literally blown away by the food selection and the diversity of the meal.
I also have to mention the cake was the most beautiful, three tier decorated traditional and actually delicious cake I have ever had at a wedding.
The night continued with nonstop, dancing, and our guests were able to stay right on the property and continue the party downstairs at Plough Restaurant.
It really was such a great weekend and I highly recommend reserving the bridal parlor and groom's quarters to get ready in as well. It just made the day so much more comfortable and seamless with any schedules and the staff was so attentive. Thank you Redi for one of the most memorable and beautiful nights with our closest family and friends.
Perfect wedding

Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square is absolutely beautiful! Attention to detail at this venue is fabulous. Fancy Seats loves to dress the chairs at The Lancaster Marriott.
The Lancaster Marriott has all the trimming that you could want. Several really great ball rooms, side rooms for your bridal party to stage their entrance prior to the reception and a varied choice of menus. We like how they have a great cocktail area to keep the guests busy prior to opening the ballrooms. Your guests will find their accomadations to be lovely if they choose to stay too.
I have always had an enjoyable experience shooting weddings at the Lancaster Marriott. Very professional, and helpful staff.
