April P. Sent on 04/27/2024Incredible and Amazing
The Gettysburg hotel is the most perfect venue for a wedding, or even in our case, a wedding weekend! Alaina was our wedding coordinator, and she made sure that everything was absolutely perfect. The menu was amazing, and guest have continued to rave how incredible the food was. We were able to use the grand ballroom for cocktail hour, and dinner and reception, and it did not disappoint! everyone was so friendly, and went out of their way to make sure that our guest were happy, healthy, and had the best time. We feel that this could not have been more perfect, and everyone at the Gettysburg hotel went out of their way to make us feel as if we were VIP guest. Alaina took extra care to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect for us, and we went the entire weekend without any issues. It was just sheer perfection! I cannot recommend this vendor or Alaina enough to anyone who wants to get married, or just have a fun party. The hotel is historic, and has so many different features and options for guest. -

We had the best time working with the Gettysburg Hotel. Alaina is FANTASTIC--she is accommodating, kind, genuine, and on the ball. She made planning a breeze. Our guests LOVED the small town feel and elegance of the ballroom. The BEST wedding food out there, too. We used many of their preferred vendors and have been receiving compliments from our guests for weeks since our big day. THANK YOU for hosting the most amazing day of our lives! -

We got married in March 2023 and the Gettysburg Hotel was the perfect venue especially since March is tricky weather wise. The banquet room was spacious, and the food/drinks were great. Our guests were thankful they could just walk up to their rooms at the end of the night. Alaina was our coordinator, and she was awesome. So easy to work with, very responsive and accommodating. She also made sure we had everything we needed the day of. Highly recommend. We loved our wedding! -

The Gettysburg Hotel was the BEST wedding venue EVER!!!
The Gettysburg Hotel was the absolute best venue we could have picked! The venue is beautiful and offers so many great locations for pictures! Everything is in one location: ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Megan is so amazing to work with she made the entire planning process so seamless, answered all the questions that I had and is SO GOOD at her job. They have so many things already onsite it made planning so easy! They have a ton of local places they parter with such as DJs, photographers, cake bakers it really was a no brainer when deciding to choose The Gettysburg Hotel. If you're looking for a beautiful venue that takes so much stress off of the planning process for you this is the place for you. I can't say enough good words about our experience there and would advise any couple looking for the perfect venue to book their wedding with The Gettysburg Hotel -

When my husband and I started looking at wedding venues, we were all over the place. There are literally just so many choices in this area, but none that we really fell in love with. When we met Megan at the Gettysburg Hotel, it was like my husband and I immediately knew this was the place for our special day. Although the venue is absolutely stunning (that vault though), Megan was a HUGE factor in our decision. She was patient, kind, informative, and truly cared about our vision. She answered every single question I threw her way, and there were many, and was always willing to go the extra mile for us. I truly could not have gotten through the planning process without her. She made everything so easy for us!
When our wedding day finally came, Megan, the venue, the staff, and every single little detail exceeded our expectations. Megan and the staff completed all of our setup and tear down, so my husband and I could just focus on our special day. I truly felt like royalty the whole weekend.
If you are on the fence about taking a peek at the Gettysburg Hotel or reaching out to Megan, DO IT! Our day was absolutely perfect and I know it wouldn’t have been the same without this beautiful venue or awesome coordinator. -

Do you want a one stop shop with an amazing wedding coordinator? Then look no further. At first, I wasn't sure that I totally loved the Hotel as our venue, but the more we looked at different places and talked to different people, I fell in love. Megan was absolutely amazing and one of the main reasons we decided to book the Gettysburg Hotel. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner, was so professional and nice, and took so much stress out of the equation for us. The day of our wedding, we didn't have to set up a thing. She took our decorations and brought my vision to life. Compared to other venues, the hotel had the most bang for our buck. The food was absolutely delicious. We have received so many compliments about our wedding and all of the guests loved that they were downtown and had several options for dining and shopping over the weekend. -

If you are thinking about booking this venue- do it! We had the most amazing wedding! Megan and her team did an phenomenal job. I have so many pros about this location such as
1. It is right in the middle of town. Easy location for guest to find
2. You can get married in the hotel or at the train station
3. Apart of our package was having the honeymoon suite which was 100% more helpful then we thought it would be.
4. Megan always helped me and answered all of my questions
5. The team was very dedicated and set up everything the way we imagined it
I would not have changed anything about our wedding and I am SO happy I booked our venue with the Gettysburg Hotel. Thank you for giving us the most wonderful day we could have ever asked for!

Megan and her team at the Hotel are fabulous!!! We had our ceremony and reception in the same room and they absolutely transformed the ballroom into something spectacular. Our guests said it was the best and most perfect wedding they have ever been to. Guests did not want to leave when it was over. We booked 14 guest rooms and reserved a room for a breakfast buffet the next day. Our wedding has literally been the talk around town and the talk among our friends. Everything stayed on point and made the night go by very quickly. The team at the Gettysburg Hotel will not disappoint you!!! Book your wedding there!! -

I would absolutely recommend the Gettysburg Hotel as a wedding venue. Their customer service and the experience they provide their couples is above and beyond any other venue we looked at. We worked with Megan at the Hotel and she made sure every aspect of our bid day ran smoothly. From decorating to managing the day-of logistics, she was incredibly helpful. She went above the call of duty and even helped me fix my dress when the bustle broke. The Hotel gives you the best experience on your wedding day, one where you don't have to worry about anything but enjoying and celebrating the moment. -

A truly unforgettable wedding
I knew that I wanted to get married in a Gettysburg, but my husband needed a bit of coaxing. That’s what I told Megan when I met her in May of 2018 to tour the venue while I was out there for work, and to my shock she was more than understanding. We had been to Gettysburg a few times before for weekend vacations with my family and loved the area, but he was stuck on getting married in our home state of CT to accommodate more friends and family. After a few months of looking at venues near us, I finally convinced him to come and check out The Gettysburg Hotel and meet Megan with me on a Sunday and instantly he was hooked. Not only is the space perfect for a couple of history nerds like us, but Megan truly set us both at ease that day when we bombarded her with tons of questions and she had every answer. And it was nothing short of that for the next 10 months leading up to our wedding, especially not being local to the area and working with her to plan it from afar. Everything was done through email which was fantastic, and she juggled numerous silly questions and countless redundant emails from the both of us-ultimately leading to the absolutely perfect day in May for us to say I Do. If you are a newly engaged couple looking to have a memorable wedding experience I mean it when I say look no further than The Gettysburg Hotel. The value for the amount we paid was incomparable, the entire staff was so accommodating, the venue was incredibly amazing, the vendors they work with are truly wonderful, but it is really Megan who is a true star. Also, if you can, opt to have your ceremony on the historic train platform right behind the hotel, and get the ice cream bar for dessert- our guests are STILL raving over it! -

Amazing Experience
Having a destination wedding, my biggest concern was how difficult it would be to plan everything from five hours away. Megan Wherley and the team at the Gettysburg Hotel quickly put my mind at ease. They could not have made the process easier! The communication with Megan was timely and thorough. She was dedicated to making sure our day was special and flawless. Not only did she work with us well, she built relationships with our vendors to ensure everything and everyone was where it needed to be. The venue itself was fantastic. We loved the historic element of the train station and reception hall (an old bank that still has the vault in the back). It made for some excellent pictures. Additionally, the building was well maintained and the hotel rooms were very comfortable. Honestly, I could not think of one thing we would have changed. Thanks to Megan, our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives. -

Wonderful and Helpful
My husband and I had a perfect wedding, stress free wedding day. I contribute this to Megan and her staff at The Gettysburg Hotel. When my husband and I started touring venues, we decided to visit the Gettysburg Hotel as a higher scale, upper end choice. Quickly my husband fell in love with the venue. The historical ballroom, the vault and location. I appreciated all the extras that the hotel offered with their package. I travel for my work and I knew that would cut into planning time. The hotel took care of a lot of the planning, the set-up, the tear down and clean up; for not just me and my husband but our wedding party and our families as well. We met with Megan about a month before the event to discuss our vision for the wedding, show her some of our decorations and talk about the timeline of the day. After we dropped off our décor to the venue prior to the event, I did not have to worry about a thing concerning the venue until the next day. Megan was so in tune with our vision that when we saw the decorations it was obvious she put as much thought and care into my wedding as we had. What really sold us on the Gettysburg Hotel was one of the tastings we went to. The food was amazing at the wedding. We had chef create a pesto potato that our guests were running around trying to see who had not eaten theirs yet! The Hotel works with two bakers and gives their wedding couples a cake stipend. We worked with Jennifer at Main Street Sweets. Her cupcakes were delightful! She allowed us 4 different cupcakes, a cake to cut, an anniversary cake, and a few gluten free cupcakes for my guests with that restriction. At the end of the night we had a bottle of champagne, two flutes and some fruit and our deserts waiting for us up in our room. This review cannot even begin to touch the gratitude I feel. My wedding was nothing short than wonderful. If you want the same, make an appointment and go talk to Megan. -
