The best one stop shop Hotel in PA.

The Yorktowne Hotel, was beyond 5 stars from the beginning to the end. It had more than everything we could need in a wedding venue. They took care of everything with the greatest detail and devotion to our special day. With things like a roof top bar, beautiful city over look, the hotel with beautiful recently renovated rooms, fantastic bar staff making our signature drinks, the very large reception hall, perfect for dancing the night away.

Fabulous Wedding Venue

We could not have been happier with our wedding at The Yorktowne Hotel. The beautifully renovated historic hotel provided the perfect backdrop for the entire weekend. The spacious rooms were a hit with all of our guests, and having everything in one place made the experience truly seamless — from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception, late-night after party in the rooftop lounge, and Sunday brunch.

The location was ideal, with the hotel situated right in town so guests could easily stroll out for breakfast or lunch. The rooftop terrace bar was the perfect setting to kick off the weekend on Friday night with a warm summer breeze and gorgeous views. The ballroom itself was stunning — large windows, plenty of space for dancing, and easily accommodated our 154 guests.

A huge thank you to our day-of planner, Angie Basilotto. From the very start of planning (over seven months) to the big day itself, Angie was professional, knowledgeable, always available, and absolutely committed to making every detail perfect. She was a true pleasure to work with. The entire staff — from front desk to servers, bartenders, and housekeeping — were friendly, attentive, and made our family, bridal party, and guests feel so well cared for.

Choosing The Yorktowne allowed us to simplify the process of planning a wedding away from our home city of Baltimore. It offered our guests an easy-to-reach destination where they could stay in one place for the entire weekend. An added bonus: free parking in the garage all weekend long.

We truly couldn’t recommend The Yorktowne Hotel more highly for a wedding or special event. If you’re considering it — go for it!

The Yorktowne Hotel was everything we wanted in a venue. We wanted a venue that was all inclusive with hotel rooms, but had charm and history. The hotel is beautiful and the mirror room and ballroom had the perfect amount of charm and beauty. Layla was amazing to work with. She always responded quick to my emails and was always so helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone at the hotel made sure of wedding went on without an issue. The rooftop pictures came out even better than we could have imagined. Would highly recommend!

The Yorktowne Hotel is such a beautiful venue. The hotel alone is so elegant. Its such a historical place that it just is on a completely different playing field than all other venues. The service was wonderful the day of my wedding. All the wait staff were so attentive to me and all my guests. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well and couldn't of had better food/ service. My husband had many surprises for me on my wedding day and our day of coordinator Stephanie did a great job helping out with these and keeping me completely in the dark as both surprises went off without a hitch! If your looking for a historical elegant place to have your wedding I urge you to check out The Yorktowne Hotel!

The Yorktowne Hotel provided us the wedding of our dreams. It was a storybook wedding. Most importantly, everyone had fun. We had a personal assistant on our special day, and it took off a lot of stress. They were very accomodating and even went down to the downstairs bar to get me wine that was not on our menu. Very accomodating for special food allergies.

The Yorktowne Hotel was the venue for our daughter's wedding and reception. A grand old hotel, that was a perfect choice for our daughter's big day! Wedding ceremony, pre reception cocktail party, reception and post reception party were all on site at the Yorktowne. We and several family members and wedding guests also lodged at the hotel. The accomodations were excellent! Our daughter, and we her parents, could not have been more pleased with the dedication and efficiency of the Yorktown Hotel staff ... with their excellent attention to detail.

Christie from the sales department was our main contact person and wedding planner of sorts. She was always quick to respond to any question we had and was always willing to provide suggestions if we were unsure of what we wanted.
The Yorktowne hotel itself is gorgeous. The spaces we utilized for the wedding party to get ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were incredibly elegant and perfect for our big day.
The food was incredible, I was full before we even made it to the cake!
We are incredibly happy that we chose the Yorktowne and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an elegant affair. The list of things included in our package (we chose the gold) was incredible. The cake was included in our package. It came from a local bakery that was delightful to work with, I even chose to go there for the grooms cake. Also included in our package was an ice sculpture and it was beautiful!
Thanks Christie!

We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, after party, and Sunday morning brunch at the Yorktowne. Every single event was lovely and I am so happy that I chose the Yorktowne for our venue.

We wanted a venue that has a space for an indoor ceremony as well as a unique and beautiful reception space, so our guests wouldn't have to drive between events. The Yorktowne has both; the mirror room for the ceremony was just gorgeous. The ballroom for the reception was breathtaking once everything was set up. It's very grand and elegant.

I cannot even express how wonderful Layla is to work with as wedding coordinator. She was due to have a baby one week after our wedding, and she helped us with questions and arrangements right up to the very end. She has an amazing eye and when I was unsure of what to do on certain things, she was there with a suggestion and was correct every single time. She was responsive, kind, and enthusiastic about everything - she made me feel like our wedding was the only one she was working on. Absolutely nothing went wrong on our wedding day and it is because of Layla and her team. She is wonderful.

For what was included in our package, the price was incredibly reasonable. We were able to add on many details that we otherwise would not have been able to, because everything was so affordable. I had my dream wedding at the Yorktowne.

We reserved the downstairs bar for a private after party and our guests continued the party until 2 in the morning. We ordered some snacks to be delivered, like sliders and soft pretzels, which everyone loved that late at night. No one wanted the party to end.

Our brunch was in the mirror room the morning after, and it was gorgeous. They moved all the flowers from the reception into this room and it looked AMAZING. Flowers everywhere. And the food at every meal was delicious, much better than most wedding food I've had.

Our wedding was perfect. Thank you Layla!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

This beautiful hotel in downtown York, PA has great places for receptions, parties or get togethers. I love the historicity of the Yorktowne and its location on main street is wonderful. The proximity to Harrisburg, Carlisle, and Hershey is convenient too.
