Everything was Perfect

Everything was perfect, Vickie was extremely helpful and always responded right away. Everyone loved the venue and service. Our only complaint would be that our left over dessert went missing.

Vickie was super helpful and very informative! The venue is beautiful and reasonable, and the food and bar options are very affordable.
We only toured the venue so far, it is definitely top of the list!

My husband and I had our wedding on NYE from ceremony to reception here, and everything was phenomenal! Vickie and her staff were professional, flexible and extremely responsive to every idea we had. We toured several places in York and Lancaster that could host our wedding of 200+ guests, and Vickie was what sold us on Wisehaven.

Meetings were easy to schedule, and response time to questions was almost immediate. Vickie was genuinely excited to help make all of our ideas and desires come true, from using the space in a totally new way to creating a personalized ice cream bar for dessert.

The pricing here was low, but that does NOT reflect the service you get. The food was all well prepared, well seasoned, delivered promptly, and the bar was easy to manage as we were allowed to bring in our own liquor in addition to the wine and beer that Wisehaven provides.

We got compliments from guests as well as our photographers, dj and other staff that this was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. None of it would have been possible without Vickie and the amazing staff at Wisehaven! We really cannot speak highly enough about Wisehaven

The girls at Wisehaven are very helpful with table placement ideas and set up. The food was incredible. Everyone enjoyed it not on complaint. If I every need to host a big party or renew the vows I plan on using Wisehaven in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone that's interested. They have a Huge dance floor and 2nd floor over looking in to the dance floor. I utilized both floors for my reception.

I know there has been a lot of negative feedback for Wisehaven but I must say I was very pleased with the way they handled my wedding. Becki went above and beyond to make my day perfect. I had concerns about different issues I had heard from past guest and I addressed them with Becki and her manager. I was assured that things would run smoothly and they did. For example when I had gone into look at the hall where were having our event I was not happy at the condition of the room. It was very dirty and needed a good cleaning. Also there were ceiling tiles that had water damage and they really were an eyesore. I spoke to management about these issues and by my next visit the issues were resovled. Becki followed through with everything she promised. We were unable to decorate for my wedding the evening before due to another event held in that room, which I knew about from day one. Becki came in on the morning of my wedding and decorated herself and did not charge me a cent. She did a beautiful job. Everything was wonderful as promised. There are only 2 issues I was not happy about. First and foremost it was EXTREMELY HOT!!!!! I was told by management that they were struck by lightening recently and that only 1 of the 4 or 5 air conditioners were working properly. I was told they were unaware of this the day of my wedding. About a month after my wedding I was at another wedding at Wisehaven in the same room as mine (The Terrace Room) and again NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!! My friend was told the same thing that I was that they were struck by lightening. At her reception I was talking to some of the employees working the wedding and I had mentioned the issue with the air conditioner and the fact that we were each told about it being struck by lightening and the employees laughed! They told me that that air had not worked ALL summer and that back in April when it just started getting warm it was not working then! I was definitely NOT pleased to hear this. The employees told me that its been broke forever and that the owners will not put the money into getting it fixed. My second issue was with my cake. It disappeared!!! We had the cake cutting. They cut the cake and displayed it nice on the table for guests to help themselves but at the end of the reception it vanished!!! Never to be found. I was upset about this because there was alot of cake left over and I would have like to take it home with us. In a nut shell Becki was AWESOME and her manager was wonderful too!!! The staff was EXCELLENT to all my guest. One of the waitresses even went around to the tables where there were elderly guests and served them there food so they would not have to walk to the buffet!! That I thought was above and beyond the call of duty. The staff and management are not to blame for the problems with the air conditioning system. That is an issue the owners need to address!!! I was even called the day after my wedding by the manager to apoligize for the air conditioning problem and he told me there were items I had left behind including some unopened bar items which they placed in there office for me to pick up. I of course forgot for about a month to go get them and one day just went in to Wisehaven to pick up my stuff and sure enough everything including unopened bottles of top shelf alcohol were waitng for me in the office. My missing cake is still a mystery but again I can't blame that on the staff. In closing my take on it all Staff and management were WONDERFUL. Owners need to work on keeping the place maintained.

Wedding Venue after COVID hits

During the process of leading up to the wedding day, Vickie was an extreme help and lovely to work with. She made sure you special day was perfect. They are very affordable for what they offer at their venue. Absolutely loved the space, and was glad to be able to use it for the ceremony as well when things fell through for our church. The only issue I had was that the bartender hired must have been new and was not ready to make drinks for all of our guests, so the line got long quite often. The other thing to note was that those giving us service on the day of the event were slow and did not seem to have much experience. They forgot to refill water, be ready to cut the cake, and be quick and efficient when getting things done. Overall, it was minor things with the service, and the day went extremely well. This venue is great and affordable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
