Absolute perfection. Josh and Paul anticipated the need and took care of everything before anyone even knew it was needed. They listened to our thoughts and offered their professional spin. One thing that just melted my heart was that one of the guests spotted them lint rolling the napkins before the reception started - Impressive! The decor was beautiful and the food was fantastic. Our guests are still raving out their experiences. Every detail was attended to so that we did not have to worry about a thing. Josh and Paul coordinated all of the vendors too. We can honestly say - it was a stress free wedding! Matt & Britt

Josh and Paul,
You two are miracle workers! Marcus and I are so happy we had our wedding at your venue. You treated us like family and we are very greatful for that. You paid great attention to detail and we are so appreciative. We will never forget our beautiful and amazing wedding - the one you helped us bring to life.

I just want to say thank you for a wonderful event. The compliments we received were numerous and I know that was because of you and your staff. You gave my daughter a day to remember and I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful affair if I tried.

Thank you,

We just had our wedding at The Colonnade this past weekend, and Paul did our florals. I knew they would be gorgeous, and they exceeded my expectations. Both the bouquets and the floral arrangements on the tables were perfect and gorgeous. I would highly recommend both the venue and the floral to anyone in the future. I knew that everything would be beautiful and that I wouldn't have to worry about a thing, and that's exactly what happened. We were so pleased (and I'm a very picky person!). If you are considering Posh Life Florals or The Colonnade, look no further. This is coming from a person who is very particular about everything and drives her then-fiance, now-husband crazy with all of the little details! :D

We used the Colonnade in December for our wedding rehearsal dinner and also rented two suites on our wedding day were my bridal party got ready. The first time we met with Josh to look at the space, I absolutely fell in love with its charm. It's decorated impeccably, especially for holidays in December. The food for the rehearsal was excellent, as was the service. The suites upstairs are equally as beautiful (and the bathrooms are amazing!) and Paul and Josh set us up with ice and champagne glasses for the day. At some point in the day after photos, we realized some of the flowers that were supposed to go to the church got left behind and Paul offered to take them over himself, which was such a great help! My husband and I opted to stay at the Colonnade that night (since the rooms at the nearby hotel where we held our reception don't even compare) and we had breakfast and coffee waiting for us when we woke up, which was a really nice surprise. Paul and Josh were so accommodating and the venue was excellent, from the food to the decor to the ambiance. I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique venue with great character - or a beautiful place to spend a night!

We got married in July at the Colonnade. Paul and Josh are true masters at what they do. Everything was taken care of down to the tiny details. They even saved us a piece of wedding cake in our suite to enjoy when the night was over. I would not hesitate to book them for any event!

The Colonnade is more than just a pretty venue. Sure, it's elegant and has beautiful decor. But the real treasure here is the staff. From the first time we visited, my husband and I were overwhelmed by how warm, thoughtful and organized Joshua Mast and his team were. During wedding planning, Josh was incredibly responsive to any questions that I had - often answering me early in the morning or late at night. When dining at The Colonnade's sister restaurant, POSH, Josh always made it a point to stop by our table and offer his assistance with wedding issues. Leading up to the big day, we were welcome to call Josh at any hour of the day with questions or issues. Our wedding was simply perfect - the food was out of this world; the service was outstanding and the staff ensured that every aspect of the day ran smoothly. My husband and I did not have to worry about anything - they even brought in lunch for us! Our guests are still talking about the wedding weeks later. I emphatically recommend The Colonnade to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-planned event. My husband and I feel so lucky to have had our special day there and can't wait for an opportunity to return.

The Colonnade catered our wedding off-site- the food, service, staff- everything was phenomenal! My husband and I had an 18 month engagement. From start to finish, Josh and Paul worked to make our day perfect! We wanted a wide variety of stations to cater to the various tastes of our 200+ guests. Our food tasting was terrific- we tried everything that would be at our wedding and they showed us how it would be displayed as well. At our reception, the food and presentation was even BETTER than our tasting. The seafood, fruit and vegetables were super fresh and cooked perfectly. The beef tenderloin was cooked to please every temperature preference. The food was fantastic! Josh and Paul also provided our floral arrangements and decor. They understood our vision from day one and our reception was literally perfect. They will ensure that you get what you want on your special day. Additionally, they are professional, friendly and fun. I highly recommend The Colonnade and Posh Life Floral and Events. Thank you!

It's truly amazing what Paul and Josh did with this mansion which was once one of the biggest eyesores in Scranton. It is now truly one of it's crowning jewels. The location is beautiful and the staff is helpful and courteous. I've never heard a bad word from anyone who used the Colonnade for a wedding or other function. oh....And the food is delicious!

Its easy to just assume The Colonnade is just another restored old building in Scranton from the outside. But inside Joshua Mast and Paul Blackledge have made it a modern luxury facility that offers not just event space, but amazing planning services, a high end B&B and incredible dinning both on and OFF site. Joshua & Paul's commitment to the restoration of 401 Jefferson Ave have only improved Scranton with not just a beautiful building at the corner of Mulberry across from the University, but it provides the downtown with a local stylish event destination that any major metropolis would be lucky to call their own!
