Planning a wedding around Lancaster means choosing between historic downtown churches, restored mills, factories and hotels in the city, estates and inns, golf clubs, and barns and farms across the rolling farmland of Lancaster County. This guide covers 132 wedding venues in 30 towns, from downtown Lancaster out to Lititz, Manheim, Ephrata, Elizabethtown, Mount Joy, Columbia and Marietta on the river, and the farm country around Strasburg, Gap and Quarryville. You'll find churches, halls, hotels and inns, barns and farms, and the parks and gardens where couples go for their wedding photos and video.

Many couples here hold a church wedding ceremony in the afternoon and a reception at a hall, barn or estate that evening. Others want everything in one place, and plenty of the venues on this list can host your ceremony, your pictures and your reception on the same property. Country roads are slow, with farm traffic and horse-drawn buggies, so check drive times between your ceremony and your reception.

Use the filters to narrow the list by type of venue or by town. Each venue has its own page with a description, contact details and directions, and real wedding photos and videos from local photographers and videographers as they add their work.

Church wedding venues in the Lancaster area

A church wedding ceremony is a strong tradition around Lancaster. Downtown parishes such as St. Mary's, St. Joseph and First Presbyterian sit a few blocks from Penn Square, and historic churches in Lititz, Columbia, Elizabethtown and Ephrata add their own character. Many Catholic parishes ask you to get in touch well ahead and complete marriage preparation, and some churches welcome only members, so call early and ask.

Banquet halls and event centers for your wedding reception

Lancaster's halls give a wedding reception a real sense of place. Couples choose restored factories and warehouses downtown and in Lititz, historic mills, theater and arts spaces, and banquet halls across the county that handle dinner and dancing for large guest lists.

Barn, farm and winery wedding venues

For a country wedding, Lancaster County is hard to beat. Barns, farms and estates around Manheim, Lititz, Elizabethtown, Strasburg, Gap, Quarryville and Denver host ceremonies on their grounds and receptions in restored barns, often with everything on one property and farm fields all around.

Hotel, club and resort wedding venues

Hotels, inns and clubs keep the day easy for guests coming from out of town. Downtown hotels near Penn Square, resorts on the edge of the city, and inns in Lititz, Leola and Marietta handle the ceremony, reception and guest rooms in one place, and country clubs add golf-course views.

Parks and gardens for your ceremony and wedding photos

Parks and gardens give your wedding photos room to breathe. Lancaster County Central Park, Buchanan Park, Lititz Springs Park, the Masonic Village formal gardens and the river trails at Columbia offer water, woods and flowers. Many need a permit for ceremonies or group photos, so check before you plan.

Next: find someone who has worked at your venue

Once you have a venue in mind, look for photographers and videographers who have already worked there. They'll know where the light falls in the church, how long the drive out through the farmland really takes, and which spots on the grounds work best for wedding photos and video. Every venue page shows the local photographers and videographers with work from that place.
