The BEST there is!

Our whole experience with JWR was great, from start to finish. They include the space rental, the food, the bar, the tables and chairs, the linens and more. We worked with their event coordinator Molly, and she was always prompt and responsive with communicating and she gave excellent feedback, as well as other vendor recommendations. Their day of coordinator, Cody, was also amazing! My wedding day went by with ease and Cody always seems to appear just as we had questions for him. The flow of the day was so smooth, the food was amazing, drinks were great, service was incredible, and the venue is absolutely beautiful! My wedding day was so perfect, and JWR is definitely to thank! I can’t say enough positive things about John Wright, and I’ll be recommending them for years to come!!

Everything I could have asked for

Some time ago we stumbled across JWR setting up for a wedding. We ended up falling in love with the view and how beautiful everything looked so we booked them for our wedding ceremony (lawn) and reception (River Room). My wedding day was absolutely perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Molly, who managed our event. They were everything a bride could ask for; friendly, accommodating, fast to respond, and reassuring. They provided a Day of Coordinator, Cody, who took care of anything I might have worried about before I even noticed there was something to worry over. I cannot recommend them enough.

Uniquely beautiful venue and location! Excellent food! Pleasant, helpful and accommodating staff which were great to work with. Awesome view of the Susquehanna River for ceremonies or just gazing from the balcony.

Every wedding or event I've photographed at John Wright Restaurant I am blown away by the professionalism of their staff. Everything always looks so beautiful and picture perfect. I look forward to seeing their wonderful food selection and displays. My clients rave about how delicious the food always is. I would consider John Wright Restaurant for my own personal events and gatherings. My husband and I also enjoy eating there together and checking out all of their live events. I would recommend that brides give this place a look. Take a moment to take in the beautiful view of the river and all of the other great picture locations in the Wrightsville area.
