.e. wonderful getting ready spaces for the guys and girls). Additionally, having the JDK team on board was a huge reason why everything went as flawlessly as it did on our wedding day. They are true professionals who are just simply great at what they do. A couple of months before my wedding, my coordinator Julianna left to pursue career opportunities in NYC and Alyssa took over so seamlessly and was a joy to work with! The food was also one of the most talked about aspects of our wedding and the wait staff was amazing and so courteous. I would highly recommend having your wedding at King Mansion and I would gladly work with JDK again and again.

Any questions?

offers great bridal and grooms suites to get ready in. There are multiple sitting rooms at the front of the mansion, that allowed our guests to spread out during cocktail hour and provided spaces for guests to chat while the DJ played during the reception. We especially appreciated the packed up leftovers the JDK Group provided at the end of the night, which allowed us to just relax and not have to worry about meals the next day. Overall, we’d recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere beautiful to host their big day!

We worked with Abby throughout the process and she was incredible in helping bring our vision to life!

I frequently attend events at the finest venues in Washington, DC, and King Mansion can compete with any of them! King Mansion has taken weddings in Harrisburg and Central PA to a whole new level, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We were able to reserve the mansion for photos before and after the ceremony and the photos are amazing. Jaime was there when we got there and a bridesmaids zipper had broken on the limo bus. She mediately said I have needle and thread and fixed it immediately. She got the men's Boutineers on moves furniture and was quite frankly a Godsend! If you are looking for something boujee or a step up this is the place!

If you are looking for a classic, timeless, and eye-catching venue for your wedding, look no further than the Historic King Mansion in Harrisburg, PA. My now husband and I decided early on that we wanted a cocktail style wedding where our famil...

y & friends could mingle while enjoying their food & drink. The mansion has a designated caterer/event coordination, the JDK Group. They executed our cocktail style wedding that included several food stations (for example: pierogi station, hanging pretzel wall, slider station, charcuterie & cheese board), his & her drinks and ensured the flow of the event was seamless and interesting. We had wanted a venue with multiple rooms & options to flow throughout as well as an indoor/outdoor option. The mansion provides a designated reception space but also allows the guests to move throughout the sitting rooms and outside on the porch. Our wedding was to be an outdoor wedding on the lawn, but it had rained that day, so our ceremony was moved indoors, and the set-up was beautiful and intimate. The mansion also lends itself as a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos that also includes views and photo opportunities of the Susquehanna River. The 1920’s, recently renovated mansion was everything that we had wanted in the venue for our wedding.

She sat with us and got to know us as a couple which made the entire experience so much more personal, and it was something none of the other venues did. We had so much confidence that she'd be able to help us plan the perfect wedding day and it was clear she was willing to go above and beyond. Definitely wish we could take her along to the venue we ended up choosing!
