Cork Factory Hotel is a historic hotel and wedding venue in downtown Lancaster, PA. This former industrial building has been transformed into a chic wedding destination with premier services and welcoming event spaces.
The venue dates back to the late 19th century when it was known as Lancaster Cork Works. This hotel maintains the factory look from the exterior, with red brick walls, industrial-style windows, and even a towering brick smokestack.

Scout was our coordinator at the Cork Factory and was absolutely wonderful! She was on top of every detail and made the days leading up to and after the wedding smooth. Our guests have had nothing but good things to say about this venue and loved the ease of having the hotel rooms right on site. Thanks for making our wedding special!

It has been an absolute joy working with Mandy, Keri, and the Cork staff, and we can’t thank you enough for making this process so seamless, fun, and special for us. From the very start, Mandy had been such a kind and supportive presence, and we feel so lucky to have had her coordinating everything for our big day! The weekend was seamless start to finish and we consider the Cork experience to be so truly valuable. We cannot recommend them enough!

Cork Factory quite literally made our wedding dreams come to life. From the very beginning, the entire team was so kind and supportive. We had absolutely zero idea what we were doing when it came to planning a wedding and they made it so much less stressful. Scout was our coordinator and I genuinely don't think my husband and I would have made it through the day without her. She was quick to respond and calm our worries leading up to the wedding and gave us the confidence to worry about absolutely nothing on our big day. We had literally the best day of our lives and Scout ensured everything went as close to the plan as possible, even going as far as pretty much running to the kitchen to get a towel when I spilled a dirty shirley on my dress. Our guests raved about the event and everyone had an absolute blast. We cannot thank Scout and the rest of the Cork Factory team enough for making our wedding day so so so special. I wish I could relive it all over again!!

We cannot say enough great things about our experience at the Cork Factory Hotel, thanks to the incredible team that made our wedding so special, starting with our first discussions and meeting with Keri!
First and foremost, our coordinator, Mary, was an absolute rockstar. From the moment we started planning to the last dance of the night, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. Her attention to detail, organization, and calming presence made all the difference. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and we truly couldn’t have done it without her!
The culinary team also deserves a huge shoutout for their flexibility and dedication to accommodating dietary needs. They provided amazing gluten-free options for Christine and select guests, ensuring that everyone had a delicious meal without any worries. ALL of food was incredible, and the service was just as impressive, from our rehearsal dinner at the Bakers Table, our reception, and the morning after breakfast.
We also want to recognize Rosetta at the front desk, who went out of her way to fix an issue with our room. She handled everything with professionalism and kindness, making sure we were comfortable and happy.
From start to finish, the entire team exceeded our expectations, and we are beyond grateful for their hard work. If you’re looking for a venue with top-tier service, you’ve found it!

We had our wedding at the Cork Factory on 2/1/25 and I cannot recommend this venue enough. We held our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks the night before at the Warehouse and our wedding in the ballroom on Saturday and every single event was incredible. Our guests have said it was the best vendor team and food they have ever had. Every single person, from the front desk to the wedding team, were so kind and helpful.
Mary was our coordinator and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. She was so helpful, creative, and didn't bat an idea about our one million questions. She was so responsive, always answering our emails in a timely manner and always willing to hop on a call. She was CRUCIAL on wedding day and completely nailed my vision.
The Cork makes it so easy, you barely have to bring a ton of decor in, but I chose to and again, Mary didn't even think twice. She was amazing and I am confident my day would not have been as perfect as it was without her and her team.

The Cork Factory was an amazing wedding venue and we can't recommend it enough! All of the vendors that the venue recommended worked seamlessly to create the perfect atmosphere. The ability to book the hotel rooms in the same location as the wedding was so simple and convenient. Overall, the Cork Factory was the perfect choice for our cozy winter wedding and made the day better than we could have imagined. We had an especially great experience working with our wedding coordinator, Scout Will. We could tell from the beginning that she really cares about the couples she works with. She was so detailed oriented, helpful, and responsive throughout the entire wedding process and we were so lucky to have her help on the wedding day itself!

Absolutely amazing! Our wedding at the Cork Factory Hotel was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was the one. The historic charm of the venue combined with a modern style and ensured convenience made the ideal spot for our big day. But what truly made it unforgettable was the exceptional service. The entire team was incredibly professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. We cannot say more wonderful things about Mary. She made the planning process so seamless, and on the day of the wedding, took care of everything, allowing us to enjoy every moment without worry. To be honest, I cannot imagine planning a wedding with a different coordinator. Her calming and fun presence, creativity, clear communication, and willing to work with us on every detail cannot go unnoticed. She was the perfect person for us!
Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, the stunning atmosphere, and how organized everything was. They loved being able to celebrate and walk down the hallway to their rooms. We felt so well cared for, and it was clear that the team genuinely wanted to make our day special. We couldn't have asked for a better experience A million thanks to the Mary and the team for making our day wedding come true!

Everything about the Cork Factory was perfection. It was STUNNING, organized, welcoming, and flawless. Every detail was executed perfectly, and that largely had to do with our wedding coordinator, Scout.
I cannot say enough good things about Scout. She was so organized, kind, and creative. She understood my vision and assured me I could leave the details to her, and she would handle it. I was in tears walking into the venue and seeing everything come together better than I ever could imagine. I feel like I left my wedding in the hands of a true friend who has known me for years and knew what I wanted for the day.
Picking the Cork Factory was one of the easiest decisions we made throughout the planning process, and I never once second-guessed our decision. Their pricing was straightforward and transparent (all numbers included tax and tip). They were all so kind, and the venue itself is naturally stunning.
Thank you!!

Words can’t describe how amazing my wedding day was. I got married on Dec. 14th 2024. The cork factory not only made my vision come to life, but also made the entire process so easy. When it came down to the smallest of detail they made sure it was everything I wanted! I was assigned a coordinator 6 months out from my wedding. Mary allowed me to stay calm through out the entire process. She made sure my wedding was everything I dreamt of. Her ability to make my vision come to life was amazing. Her knowledge and experience is incredible and I am truly thankful to have had her by my side throughout the process. Additionally, my guests have reached out to me stating how great the Cork factory was. Explaining how the food was delicious and the rooms were perfect! Seriously thank you so much for everything!

The Cork Factory Hotel was beyond our expectations for our wedding in August!
The venue was stunning and made it so simple to party all weekend from our rehearsal dinner, to our welcome party and finally our ceremony and reception!
Our wedding coordinator, Mary, was the sweetest and most kind person! She cared so much to make our day as special as it was. Her patience and attention to detail was so appreciated.
Our guests have not stopped raving about how this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! From the ambiance to the food, it was everything and more.
We would HIGHLY recommend getting married at the Cork Factory Hotel! Simply elegant and intimate!

WOW! I may be biased, but I think I had the most beautiful wedding of any wedding I've ever attended. The CFH staff made me and my guests their #1 priority. I cannot speak highly enough of our coordinator, Mary. For over a year she helped answer every little question I had and guide me in the best direction. When it came to the wedding, there wasn't a single thing I had to do other than show up - Mary had it covered. We were able to attend two events prior to our wedding - an open house event to check out the spaces and sample foods, and a tasting event where we got to try ALL the food and make our selections. I loved being able to do this, it was so much fun and we got to scope out our space!
We loved that we nor our guests had to leave the area all weekend. We had our rehearsal dinner at the Baker's Table, ceremony and reception in the ballroom, then went right across the street to Quip's Pub for our after party. It made planning for our guests so easy!
My guests raved all night, and still to this day, about how beautiful the wedding was. We had our ceremony and reception in the Ballroom and would recommend it to anyone. The all-inclusive pricing really helps you budget for your day AND makes planning that much easier! Normally, wedding food is just okay, but our guests loved their meals at the Cork FActory! I particularly loved that CFH provides your cake, and we got to select 4 tiers, all a different flavor, plus an anniversary cake to take home with us.
I will always be grateful for Mary and the team at CFH for making our day as special as it was. We had the best weekend and dream that someone we know has a wedding there so we can attend and experience it from a guest's perspective. The exposed brick and beams add such a romantic charm to the space, our photos turned out better than we could have ever expected with the most beautiful background. I would rate the Cork Factory 10 stars if I could. If you are a bride, I highly highly recommend considering the Cork Factory for your big day.

Having our wedding at The Cork Factory was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. Our guests loved the beautiful venue, it's so convenient to have lodging on site, and the staff really went out of our way to curate the most perfect day for us. Jen made sure there were little touches throughout the evening so we could soak it all in - from grabbing a tray of appetizers for us to have a private moment in the ballroom just before the reception began, to making sure our cards made it back to our room by the end of the night, to seamlessly running the timeline. It was the best day ever, and I would do it all over again the exact same if I had the choice!

Cork factory hotel is amazing! Our wedding was on 11/10/24 and we were planning this for almost two years!! Its crazy how fast time flies! We had a smaller wedding in the warehouse and ceremony in the assembly room. We also had our rehearsal dinner there too! Everything went so smooth and the food was great! Many was our coordinator and she did such an amazing job with setting up all my decor and taking it down. My stress was lowered because of her! She made sure we were all comfortable! I loved every moment and highly recommend cork factory hotel!

The Cork Factory Hotel is the perfect place to have your wedding! I had my wedding there in October 2024 and cannot say enough good things about the process and our wedding coordinator, Mary. Everyone was very professional and our day went smoothly without anything for me to worry about. Mary was very organized and was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend this venue enough for your dream wedding!

I have nothing but extremely positive things to say about the Cork Factory Hotel and our wedding coordinator, Scout. From start to finish they streamlined the planning process and kept us on track. We ended up using some of their recommended vendors and everything went so perfectly.
Scout communicated with us throughout the process to ensure we accounted for all of the details going into the wedding. We knew we were in great hands; she was able to put us at ease in stressful moments.
When the big day came, we were a little "all over the place" but Scout helped us stay focused and keep us on schedule. With her support, we were able to keep it together and have a great time! We were very grateful to work with her.
I would happily recommend Cork Factory to anyone looking for a wedding venue with a place to sleep right onsite. The ambience of the venue and the professional staff made this one of the best experiences of our lives!

I would pick this venue over and over again! 5/5 stars is not enough! From the initial tour to my big day, the staff at The Cork Factory Hotel went above and beyond to make our big day absolutely perfect. All of our guests have not stopped complimenting us on the venue, staff, food, drinks etc and continue to say that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to. Not only is the venue beautiful in itself, but all of the accommodations that are included made this venue the big winner for us. What I loved the most was that our guests arrived Friday evening and did not have to leave the venue until Sunday morning due to the accommodations provided. The ceremony space is stunning and accommodated all of our guests. The room flip made the ceremony and reception look like a completely different room which was important to me. The food was 10/10 and the bartenders were phenomenal. This venue is the perfect space for +/- 150 guests. Again, every little detail was perfect and I could not recommend this venue more!!

If I could give this venue more than 5 stars, I would. I had the best experience planning and having my wedding here this past September. This venue is absolutely gorgeous, with its industrial brick and exposed wood, but is very up to date at the same time. It is located in the heart of Lancaster, but slightly off the beat and path from downtown making it easy for guests to navigate to.
Our coordinator, Scout, was absolutely FANTASTIC. If you have the opportunity to ask for a coordinator, ask for Scout! From the moment we met her, she was organized, so kind, and truly got to know my husband and I, which made the planning process more personable. She saved the day during our wedding more than once, and is now someone we would consider a friend.
We really loved the fact that everything at this venue is there. Your package comes with food, alcohol, cake, a coordinator, and so much more. That being said, the list of options is extensive, and we never felt we had to "settle" for anything at this venue. We also opted to have our ceremony at the venue. The team did an awesome job flipping the ceremony space for the reception, and our guests had no idea it was happening because the cocktail hour space was so large that guests could easily gather there.
We got so many compliments from our guests during the wedding and following about how amazing of a venue it is.

We got married in July 2024 at the cork factory and it was truly amazing. One thing that drew us to this venue was the all in one location. It was every continent to have the venue take care of food, drink, cake, hotel accommodations, etc. I was a little worried the hotel rooms might make it more expensive for guests but compared to standard wedding block hotel rooms it was in line and ourselves and the guest all complimented how beautiful and comfortable the hotel rooms/beds were so it was cool to hear it was worth it for them. Our coordinator, Jen, was amazing. She met with us anytime we asked and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. They know what they are doing there for sure. We loved the place and it felt so great to hear so many of our guest also compliment how great everything was from food to drinks to atmosphere.

We were married in the Warehouse. Each well planned detail was brought to life by our professional wedding coordinator Mandy Carroll, who works with the Cork Factory. She made every step of the way clear and easy. We only had to tell her details once. She really made our dream a reality. The venue and hotel are truly accommodating. Our wedding went flawlessly, everyone was tended to, tables were shifted, drinks and food were served and everyone was smiling. We were stress free and able to enjoy our night. 10 out of 10, we do recommend!

The single greatest decision we have made in our lives, besides choosing to marry each other (haha), was choosing the Cork Factory Hotel to host our wedding! From the moment we received a call back from Keri securing our date, through our welcome party, wedding and departure breakfast, not one detail was missed. The entire Cork Factory staff was there to make our weekend and our families' weekends easy, comfortable and fantastic.
Because this hotel isn't part of a big chain or large corporation, we felt like their #1 priority. We felt like we were the only couple hosting our wedding there. Keri was incredibly responsive and patient with all of our questions and requests. If we needed a hotel room change, she made it. If we had a contract question, she answered it. She was so kind and never made us feel like our excesses questions were too much.
We thought it couldn't get better...then we were assigned our wedding coordinator - JEN! What a true gem! Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the industry is, hands down, the best. When we weren't sure of certain details, (where we wanted to place things, or order of events etc.) Jen had great suggestions. She was helpful, responsive, and worked to make sure all our little details came to light.
When the big weekend commenced, we didn’t stress about a thing - yes you read that correctly - because Jen put our minds at ease and knew all of our visions ahead of time. She gave clear direction to our wedding parties and had "on the spot" solutions for things we missed or things WE forgot ie pins for the boutonnieres, ugh. She took all of our wedding decorations upon arrival to the hotel days in advance and we didn't see it until it was all put together! She is amazing! If something didn’t go as planned during our wedding weekend, she handled it! It was simply perfect.
Keri, Jen, Rosetta at the front desk, and all of the staff we worked with were truly amazing. We would 100% get married all over again at the Cork Factory. We plan to celebrate our first anniversary at the Cork Factory because our experience was a dream come true.

My wedding was September 2024 at the Cork Factory Hotel. We also had rehearsal dinner here and breakfast in the Cork &. cap the following morning. Mary was my wedding coordinator from the Cork Factory. From the very beginning Mary made our wedding very easy and amazing. She was always looking for ways to help us and was very organized and personable . She was also very fun to work with. The hotel itself is an amazing place to have a wedding. On top of the beautiful setting, our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was!!! You can tell this venue holds a lot of weddings because they just have it together.

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Cork Factory Hotel, and it was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning surroundings and the attention to detail in every corner of the venue. The ambiance was magical and the interiors created the perfect backdrop for our special day.
Our wedding coordinator, Mandy, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and her professionalism and warmth made us feel truly special. Every request was met with a smile, and she was incredibly accommodating to all our needs.
And then there was the food – absolutely divine! Our guests are still raving about the exquisite dishes. The presentation was impeccable, and every bite was a taste of culinary excellence. The chef's creativity and use of fresh, high-quality ingredients really shone through.
Overall, the Cork Factory Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue or a more memorable day. Thank you for making our wedding everything we dreamed it would be!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Keri Fland as our hotel coordinator for our daughter's wedding weekend, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we started planning, she was incredibly friendly, warm, and detail-oriented. She made the process seamless by handling the booking of rooms for our guests, planning the rehearsal dinner, and organizing the morning-after brunch.
What truly stood out was her dedication—she answered our emails and questions at all times of the day, even on weekends, ensuring that every detail was perfect. The hotel staff also deserves praise for their efficiency, especially with check-in. We were initially concerned about the tight timeline between check-in and our off-site ceremony, but the staff handled it flawlessly.
The food and service for both the rehearsal dinner and brunch were outstanding. Every aspect exceeded our expectations, making our wedding weekend even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Keri and the entire team for any event planning needs.

Every little girl dreams of how perfect their wedding day will be when growing up. The Cork Factory Hotel ensured we had our fairy tail wedding. From out first meeting with Keri, we knew the CFH was the perfect venue. Our coordinator Jen was the BEST! She was so attentive to all of our special requests and turned the venue into an incredible winter wedding! The food was phenomenal. The invitations were amazing. The service staff was top notch.

My sister in law got married here a few weeks ago, and I was both her MOH and florist. I have worked with countless venues before, but seeing the way the CFH staff (especially Mandy!!!) took care of our family was so wonderful. Mandy truly knew how to be a friend and a guiding force through this process. It's hard to find vendors that make wedding planning feel like a comfortable and fun experience and she truly did just that. She helped me so much as the floral vendor and I really was able to be present day of and not worry about a thing. Thank you again!

The Cork Factory Hotel was an amazing venue for our July wedding reception! The entire staff is excellent from our absolutely amazing coordinator, Mandy, to the wonderful service staff the evening of our wedding. Mandy helped us tremendously with so many details during the wedding planning process and I can honestly say I will truly miss working with her. While this is an incredibly busy venue, she always made us and our wedding feel like her top priority and showed us countless times that she was committed to helping us plan the perfect wedding day. On the day of, she 100% nailed my vision of the event space that we had discussed and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had what we needed and could enjoy our reception. Our guests raved about the deliciousness of the food, and it was so helpful working with a venue that did the food and desserts in house. We worked with a both outside and CHF-recommended vendors for our wedding. All of the CFH-recommendations were phenomenal and Mandy and her team were amazing to collaborate with in terms of bringing in new vendors! Truly, CFH was the perfect venue for our wedding and we would highly recommend Keri, Mandy & the event team!

The BEST Venue!!! We could not have been happier with our wedding day! From our first venue tour with Keri to our wedding day and everything in between, everything was perfect! We worked with wedding coordinator Mary - she is the absolute BEST! Mary communicated with us every step of the way, replied very quickly to every email, made sure everything was taken care of before and during not only our wedding day but set up for our rehearsal dinner and set up for the wedding. We could not have asked for anyone better to help us with our wedding day! If you are looking for the perfect wedding coordinator, Mary is it! Cork Factory is the perfect place to get married, everything was taken care of for us and not once did we stress or worry that something wouldn't get done. Could not recommend this venue more!

The Cork Factory was the best place for us to have our wedding. From the first meeting with Kerri to having Jen as our wedding plan everything was perfect! The binder that they provide is a great way to stay organized and ensured that nothing is missed. Jen ran the rehearsal fabulously and made the day of the wedding seamless. Everything was set up perfect by Jen and her team to make the day beautiful! I would definitely recommend having your wedding at the Cork Factory. I would also recommend renting out of the bridal and groom suites, it is the perfect place to get ready.

We are very happy with how our Warehouse wedding of 75 guests turned out. Many of our family and friends complimented us on how great the day turned out and how seamlessly it went off. We chose the venue originally because we were looking for a smaller space, which we found in the Warehouse space. The Cork Factory Hotel is a very professional wedding venue with lots of experience helping you have the perfect wedding day. We chose to have a plated meal to save time.
Our Day Of Coordinator, Mandy was extremely helpful and help ease the stress of wedding planning. She was very responsive to our needs and accommodating. She had the necessary experience and attention to detail to help out day run smoothly. Thanks again, Mandy!

If you're looking for a vendor that will lower your overall stress level with wedding planning, this is it. The fact that the pricing is so transparent, and that the per person cost includes bar, dinner, cocktail hour, cake, and champagne toast was hugely helpful in cutting down on hiring extra vendors.
But by far, the most amazing aspect of our planning experience was working with our wedding coordinator Mary. She was always responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to help. A true professional. On the day of the wedding, she worked behind the scenes to make sure all the vendors were on the same page, and the reception went seamlessly. We did not realize how hugely helpful a built-in wedding coordinator would be; I don't know what we would have done without her.
Our guests really enjoyed both the cocktail hour food and reception food, and all the staff were wonderful. The standard bar package was also more than adequate.
Overall, the space is lovely, and the staff are amazing. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Cork Factory! Stress-free usually isn't a word you hear connected with a wedding, but the amenities Cork Factory Weddings offers provides just that - an experience where the couple can truly concentrate on their special day and the confidence and peace of mind everything is taken care of. We received so many compliments about the venue, level of service and food from our guests!
The entire team at Cork Factory Weddings is a pleasure to work with. From booking the venue to the smallest details, their communication is knowledgeable and prompt. Our wedding coordinator, Mary, is outstanding! She genuinely cares about each couple and did an amazing job making sure our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. Every email we sent her was answered promptly and clearly. I always felt comfortable asking her questions. She pays great attention to detail and worked with all of our vendors to ensure a seamless set-up. At the end of the night, she even made sure some of our appetizers and cake were sent to our room! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We loved having our wedding for 50 people in the Warehouse! The space is beautiful and everyone commented on how nice it was to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in one place!
We first met Keri who gave us a tour and explained everything about the venue. She was so responsive and professional and we were confident that we found the right venue!
Next, we were assigned to our wedding coordinator Scout. We cannot say enough good things about her commitment to details! She walked us through everything and made our day worry free!
The food, the drinks, the cake were all delicious! The Cork Factory is a great value!

The Cork Factory is an amazing venue and the staff was outstanding. We had our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding at the Cork. It was all amazing- from the food, to the bartenders ( Steven was fantastic!), to the ambiance... Our wedding coordinator was Jen and she helped make our wedding dream come true. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls to help plan our special day. Jen was there every step of the way form planning, to creating the timeline for the wedding, and making sure we stuck to the timeline. We could not be happier with our wedding at the Cork Factory Hotel. Highly highly recommend!!!

We knew from the walk through that Cork Factory was the perfect venue for us. A month after our wedding and we are still hearing from our guests about how it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! As the Bride and Groom, there's just no better compliment--and it's all because of Cork Factory and their staff.
The restaurant space on site was perfect for our rehearsal dinner. The restaurant also made room for hotel guests for Friday dinner who weren't part of the rehearsal dinner so they didn't have to go find a place. The food was SO good which got everyone super excited for the next day.
Wedding day itself, in a word: flawless. Our coordinator, Mary, took every single detail of our numerous emails and made our vision come to life. She had all the vendor set up and clean up already arranged so I was able to sip champagne and soak in the day.
We also hosted a breakfast in the Baker's Table which was such a hit! There was no pressure to say goodbye at the end of the wedding because we knew we could do that over eggs and bacon in the morning. They also put my wedding flowers in the breakfast room so guests could enjoy them again in the daylight!
The hotel was great as well with each room unique and the staff helped cater to our guests with special mobility needs.
We had the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and send off breakfast at Cork Factory. This allowed us to maximize our time with guests and keep a relaxed timeline with our wedding party--and did I mention that the food at EVERY meal was phenomenal!?
I can't recommend Cork Factory enough. Your friends and family will thank you!

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Cork Factory. A hidden gem of a venue located in the heart of Lancaster City. The venue itself is stunning and allows for you to make it into your very own reflection. The Cork has everything you can ask for, all in one place!
Throughout our wedding planning and big day we had the pleasure of working with coordinator Scout Will for our wedding, and we can't express enough how incredible the experience was. From the very first meeting, Scout exuded warmth, kindness, and a genuine passion for making our special day perfect.
Scout was always available to answer our questions, no matter how trivial they seemed, and handled every detail with the utmost care and attention. Her ability to keep us calm and reassured through the entire planning process was remarkable. She listened to our vision and turned it into reality, adding personal touches that truly made the day uniquely ours.
On the day of the wedding, Scout was an absolute rock star. She managed everything seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration without worrying about logistics. Her organization, professionalism, and calm demeanor made our day as effortless as our love.
We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated, thoughtful, and sweet coordinator. If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding with as much love and care as if it were their own, look no further than Scout. She is a true gem, and we are so deeply grateful to have had her by our side on our special day.
We would be remiss if we didn’t take a moment to credit the entire staffing team at The Cork Factory. Across the board everyone was truly exceptional. We hold such incredible gratitude to each individual that made our day so incredibly special.

Brides who are considering this venue, book now!!! The way the Cork Factory Hotel has everything organized will make your day stress free! The tasting event they hold is fabulous! My Wedding Coordinator Mandy was amazing! She was on top of everything and I barely ever had to remind her of something or ask for help! This is truly your “one stop shop “ wedding! They bake a beautiful cake, have amazing food and drinks, linens, tables etc, and a wonderful coordinator to help you through it all! I received so many compliments about the venue and staff! It truly all was a fairytale and I’m blessed to have worked with them! :)

The Cork Factory Hotel was the most amazing place to get married! The venue is beautiful, inside and out, and I could not have imagined having our wedding anywhere else! There are so many picturesque aspects of this venue to make it all the more memorable. From the very beginning of our wedding planning stages, the Cork Factory stole our hearts. Communication from the staff was amazing start to finish. Our coordinator, Mary, was so pleasant to work with and always answered our questions in a timely manner. She is so knowledgeable of the space and helped make the planning process go as smoothly as possible. It was so wonderful to get married at a venue where your hotel was right there. We also had our rehearsal dinner here too, in their Bakers Table room, and that was also amazing! Mary was there when we arrived the day before the wedding and made sure we were all set for the wedding and our rehearsal dinner (also at the Cork Factory). Her attention to detail is unmatched. The wedding day started in the beautiful getting ready rooms, finished in the ballroom and went off without a hitch! I cannot recommend Mary and the Cork Factory enough!

Our experience at the Cork Factory Hotel was everything we had dreamed of! Our coordinator, Mary, guided us seamlessly through the entire process with her extensive knowledge of the venue and wedding day process. We loved working with such an experienced venue who was able to connect us with incredible vendors all of whom knew the space and had experience working with one another. We had multiple guests telling us how incredible the space and food were on wedding day! Some of our favorite perks of the space was having all food and drink provided, day of getting ready suites for the bridal party, access to our day of coordinator throughout the planning process, and heading to Quips Pub across the street for an after party! Every staff member we interacted with throughout the process was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. We are so grateful we made the decision to have our wedding day here!!! Could not recommend it more!

Cork Factory Hotel was the perfect venue for our March wedding! The cork, brick, and cozy vibes throughout the hotel are so unique and make for a welcoming, romantic ambiance. The ballroom looked absolutely incredible, especially with the addition of the drapes and twinkle lights from Baker Event Co. Our guests appreciated how convenient it was to have everything in one location, including rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. Our coordinator, Jen, was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the day of. Everything went flawlessly and it was all due to her endless efforts and attention to detail. We also loved having the after party conveniently across the street at Quip's Pub. Everyone had a blast! I truly can't recommend Cork enough!

The Cork Factory was everything we dreamed of and more! The food was fantastic and the staff were extremely professional. Our coordinator, Mandy, was beyond helpful throughout the entire wedding process. She was knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful! We had wind and rain on our wedding day, however, this did not impede one bit! We were able to sneak outside for some pictures and take pictures inside! Guests all loved their rooms and how convenient it was to get to the ballroom. Bonus points for being able to stop by Quips Pub after for a night cap! We can’t say enough wonderful things about the Cork Factory!

Our wedding day was our favorite day ever! Everything from the “getting ready rooms” to the reception was better than we ever thought possible. Everything flowed so smoothly and our coordinator Jen helped that happen each moment of the day. We couldn’t be any happier with how our wedding went and if we were ever going to marry eachother again we would do it at the cork factory! 😂

We had our wedding at the Cork Factory and we truly could not recommend it more!! Mary, our coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She was so kind, attentive, reassuring, and detail oriented. She made what is normally a stressful time planning, so easy and enjoyable. During the wedding day she was on site and running the show for the full 12 hours. She made sure our day was absolutely perfect. Aside from Mary being the absolute best, I have never been to a wedding before where the bartenders and servers are so attentive. Stephen, our bartender, read our minds. He would have a drink already ready for us as we walked up to the bar. He was a saint! If you made eye contact with a server they would gratefully have the hors d’oeuvres in front of you in a matter of seconds! The food was incredible as well. Every time we speak to someone about our wedding they cannot stop raving about the seafood bar during cocktail hour and the entrees. If we could give the Cork Factory and Mary 10 stars we would not hesitant for a second. Had the night of our lives and wish we could go back!!! Thank you all so much!

We were married at the Cork Factory Feb. 2024 and it was a wonderful venue! The Cork Factory Ballroom is absolutely beautiful space and the catering/service was phenomenal. Our coordinator, Mary Reachard was huge help both leading up to the day and day of. She was incredibly organized, accommodating, and thoughtful. She even set up decorations and flowers for us on the day and helped wrangle family members at the rehearsal. Many of our guests commented on how smoothly the whole day ran and that was entirely thanks to Mary!

Our wedding at Cork Factory in February 2024 was wonderful! Cork is a beautiful venue, but what made our experience unforgettable was our talented wedding coordinator, Mary Reachard. Mary helped us plan a wedding in five months! Pretty quick now-a-days. She was extremely detailed oriented, asked difficult questions, and was very confident in her decision making throughout the process - especially the day of! I’ve been to a bunch of weddings and Mary was the most professional coordinator I’ve witnessed. Anytime we had a question about the Cork Factory or anything wedding related she found the answer.
It was a pleasure working with Mary and we were very happy with the Cork as well overall! The food and staff were very enthusiastic and engaging.

Although I cannot say enough great things about the Cork Factory as a whole, I want to specifically talk about the incredible way Mary, our wedding coordinator, went out of her way to ensure our day was everything we have ever dreamed of. From the first planning meeting to the final song of the night- Mary made sure that every moment was perfect from start to finish. The care and thoughtfulness she put into our day would have made you think the wedding was her own. Our decision to have our wedding at the Cork Factory came down to the incredible accommodations available for our guests but I cannot imagine having selected another venue and not going through this process with someone as knowledgeable and kind as Mary. Our day truly would not have been as magical without her and no words I can write in this review could ever fully capture the gratitude I have for her and the entire Cork Factory team.

Mary Reachard and The Cork Factory Hotel helped make the wedding of our dreams a reality! From the moment Mary became our wedding coordinator, the stress of planning an event like this drastically diminished. Mary was there to answer every question, no matter how small or obvious, every step of the way with kindness. She listened to how we envisioned our big day would be and helped to make it happen, down to the smallest detail. Every time we had an idea, no matter how silly or nerdy it was, Mary listened to us and helped make it happen. Our opinions about how we wanted our day to be always came at the forefront. We wanted our wedding to be fun and personalized to us, so that our guests would get to see the story of our love reflected back at them. There were a ton of moving parts, too: we had custom centerpieces, signage for the bar, little place card settings, a trellis for our party favors, an After the Tone phone, photo frames and more. Mary made sure everything was in its correct spot—we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Multiple times during the night and for weeks afterward, we had guests come up to us and tell us that this was the best wedding they had ever been to. That wouldn’t have happened without all of Mary’s help! We’d highly recommend The Cork Factory Hotel as a wedding venue. Every staff member we interacted with was kind and helpful. We had a lot of guests and everyone was treated well. Not to mention, the food was delicious and the rooms and event spaces were gorgeous! It made for a beautiful night and beautiful photos. Above all, we’d recommend Mary. You won’t find a better wedding coordinator anywhere else!

The Cork Factory was the absolute perfect wedding venue for us! The ability to have everything together - the ceremony, reception, and accommodations - was exactly what we were looking for. Beyond this, the planning process was so easy and streamlined. Mary, our coordinator through the Cork Factory, was incredible with organizing every detail of planning from the day we chose the venue through the end of our reception. We completed the entirety of our planning from a few states away, so her knowledge and help was absolutely invaluable. Additionally, every vendor used (all from their recommended vendors list) knew the location so well and worked in it perfectly. We were so happy with the entire experience with the Cork Factory and couldn't have asked for a better venue! Highly recommend!!

We got engaged in November of 2021. Once the Holiday season was over, we started to look into venues. We knew we would have around 100-125 guests and we wanted a September 2023 wedding in the Tri State area.
After marking out our top 10 venues, we started with the location that was furthest from our home in South Jersey. We were sure that we would see this venue and get turned off because of the distance…
We walked into The Cork Factory Hotel and were blown away. It wasn’t your typical ballroom, it wasn’t an outdoor venue where you worry about the unpredictable weather, it was an EXPERIENCE!
My now husband didn’t even make it past the lobby and we knew this was the one for us! Our sales POC, Keri, was nothing but professional, detail orientated and helpful.
About 1 year out, we were paired with our Venue Coordinator, Jen. I can’t express my sisterly love for Jen other than, she just GOT ME.
Jen was patient, understanding and took my vision of 2 years and made it a reality. She truly was the key to making our day the best day ever.
If you’re looking for a destination wedding without getting on a plane (for you local Tri Staters), this is the one for you!
Free parking, a gorgeous and quaint hotel, fair prices for ALL services, a vibe that is timeless, a place for rehearsal dinner, a golf simulator across the street, bridal and groom suites, a place for every photo you’ll ever need, your ceremony, your cocktail hour, your reception AND your after bar at Quips down the street… what more could you ask for?!
We are now 4 months married. We have family and friends that say this was the best wedding they have ever been to.
That wouldn’t be possible without the ease of parking, a fair priced hotel, an all in one wedding venue (let’s be real, nobody wants to travel to and from a hotel), a different vibe than your typical ballroom, strong drinks, TO DIE FOR food and desserts and professionalism.
The Cork Factory Hotel provided me with the Wedding of my dreams. As an OCD bride, I can not recommend this venue ENOUGH!

Can not say enough good things about having our wedding here. We planned our wedding from out of state and did not see the venue until 4 days before our wedding. It was 100% everything we could hope for. Mary made planning so easy for us. All vendors raved about one another. Multiple of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It was perfect thanks to Mary and the Cork Factory!

GET MARRIED AT CORK FACTORY! We had the most stunning wedding on NYE at Cork Factory Hotel in Lancaster, PA! It was truly a night for the books and it’s all thanks to Mary Reachard 🤍 she planned it effortlessly from start to finish! The whole process at Cork is seamless, you have the different options for catering, menus, vendors etc! They give it all to you in a booklet which made it so much easier to follow long as the date got closer! They offer a tasting for couples getting married at Cork so that you are able to taste the food that will be served on your big day! The day of, Mary dropped off the flowers, made sure all the vendors knew where to be and everything ran so smoothly! If you can pick your wedding coordinator, pick Mary Reachard she is an absolute blast to be with and a joy to plan with 🤍🫶🏻🥹 Mary goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and I am happy to now call her a very close friend!

We had our wedding at The Cork Factory this past December and it was the most special day. Our coordinator Mary, was responsive and accommodating with not only myself, but my fiancé and my mother who were all apart of the planning process. She gave insight into aspects of the wedding that I hadn’t even thought about and was so grateful for in hind sight. Our day was what we hoped for from start to finish! We can’t thank Mary and the staff enough for all of the work that went into making our day everything that we could have hoped for.

I just had my wedding on 12/3/23 at the Cork Factory Hotel and it was amazing! The venue is BEAUTIFUL. If you love a more rustic dark wood and red brick aesthetic like I do then this is your place. One of my good friends had a summer wedding that I attended at this venue which was beautiful and that is how I heard of the cork factory. I always wanted a wintery/Christmas vibe wedding and the venue is beautiful around Christmas time! They assign you a coordinator early on to help with planning and answer questions. I had Mary and she was incredible. I was anxious and had no idea how to plan a wedding or what I needed to do and she made everything so easy and nice. The venue takes care of food and the wedding cake which is amazing. They can do a great open bar and you choose your package based on alcohol preference and they made our signature drinks so well! The team also flips the ballroom where you have the ceremony during cocktail our to be perfectly set up for the reception. Overall I made the absolute right choice with the venue and thanks again to Mary! Besides helping with all the planning she made the actually wedding day smooth and easy which was a god send! Highly recommend cork factory as they do weddings every weekend and really know what they are doing!

Our wedding was in July of 2023. When we were looking for venues, we wanted something that was beautiful and convenient. The Cork Factory is both! The ballroom is gorgeous and there are so many beautiful areas on the property for your photos to be taken. Our coordinator Mary made the planning process so easy for us too! We loved the convenience of the amazing food, bar, cake being included in the package and the provided list of recommended vendors for anything else we needed. It was one of the best days and I am still hearing from family and friends what an amazing time that they had!

I was looking for a venue that would take care of everything for me and wouldn’t have me or my friends and family running around and setting things up and tearing things down on my wedding day. The coordinators and staff took care of everything day off and the list of preferred vendors they provided was so helpful in selecting quality florist, musicians and DJ. So many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful and best food at any wedding they’ve been to ! Cost was a little high but worth every penny.

From the moment we found Cork Factory online to the day after the wedding every single detail was perfect! The food, venues, staff, accommodations.. all of it was amazing and made the whole process of planning a wedding so stress free! Jen was our coordinator and she knew all our vendors and was somehow there every time we needed a hand. If I was going to get married again tomorrow I would do everything the same way and recommend the Cork Factory to everyone I know! The costs are the same if you went somewhere less inclusive, but being able to know all our details were taken care of was worth every penny. And taking most of the decisions off our plate, since we didn't need to shop around for catering or transportation or place settings really took a load off of our mental plate while we planned the rest. The whole process was smooth, streamlined, and our guests were gushing about Cork Factory so it wasn't just the bride and groom that they treated well. The staff are all professionals and the service was impeccable. 10 out of 5 stars!
