Hotel Gettysburg was the absolute, most perfect venue! My husband and I first reached out to the venue on October 21st, 2025, and we got married on July 25th, 2026. Throughout all those months, communication with Alaina (the catering and events manager) was nothing but amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and efficient when it comes to answering our million questions. The venue is in a beautiful location in downtown Gettysburg, where so many of our friends and family could explore over the course of the weekend. The hotel itself is elegant, clean, recently renovated, and fit all the needs of myself, my bridal party, my family, and even my hair and makeup vendors. Additionally, the hotel provides room blocks, with lots of flexibility on the rooms you prefer. For an example, I could choose exactly where the groomsmen, bridesmaids, and my parents would stay. This allowed me to make sure my girls had the space/ability to get ready together, and to assure the boys were on a separate floor. The wedding package is customizable, so you can truly have the wedding of your dreams. As well, the hotel provides an immense amount of services (food, drinks, tables, chairs, linens, set-up, break down, etc.) which made wedding planning than much easier. Food wise, the venue provides a menu with a wide variety of meal options, which were all delicious. We had zero problems when it came to dietary restrictions, and our guests loved their meals. The schedule of the wedding day went perfectly, all due to Alaina's professional planning and consistent communication. We are so happy to have gotten married here, and cannot wait to celebrate our anniversaries coming back to this beautiful town!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Hotel Gettysburg for our wedding reception on August 8, 2026. From the beginning of the planning process through our wedding day, Alaina was incredible to work with. She was professional, organized, responsive, patient, and always willing to answer our questions or make adjustments as our plans evolved.
Communication throughout the process was excellent. As we worked through our menu tasting, linens, room setup, guest accommodations, timeline, and all of the little details that come with planning a wedding, Alaina kept everything organized and made sure we knew what was needed and when.
On our wedding day, everything came together beautifully. The ballroom looked amazing, the food was delicious, and the staff was attentive and welcoming to both us and our guests. We especially appreciated how smoothly everything was handled behind the scenes. Mike and I were able to enjoy our reception without worrying about the details.
Having the reception and hotel accommodations in the same location was also incredibly convenient for our out-of-town guests. We felt that the overall quality of the venue, food, service, and level of coordination provided excellent value.
We are so grateful to Alaina and the entire Hotel Gettysburg team for helping make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. We would absolutely recommend Hotel Gettysburg to other couples looking for a beautiful venue, excellent service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your wedding special.
Thank you for helping make our day unforgettable! ❤️

We truly could not have asked for a better experience than what we had with Alaina Rineman and the team at Hotel Gettysburg. Together, they made our wedding weekend seamless, stres...
s-free, and truly unforgettable.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Alaina made the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. From the very beginning, Alaina was phenomenal. She responded to my initial inquiry within minutes and remained just as attentive throughout the entire planning process. She was always available to answer questions, walk through details, and offer thoughtful suggestions. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made her suggestions feel personal and meaningful.
On the wedding day, Alaina handled everything behind the scenes flawlessly. Any hiccups were taken care of immediately, and we never felt stressed or distracted. She also went above and beyond for our guests, especially ensuring accommodations for those staying at the hotel and even arranging a to-go meal for a guest observing a religious fast. That level of care meant so much to us.
Hotel Gettysburg itself was the perfect venue. Located right in the heart of downtown, it offered a beautiful mix of historic charm and convenience. Our guests loved being able to walk around the square, and the hotel provided so many great gathering spaces—including One Lincoln, the Hotel’s own bar and restaurant. The on-site Starbucks was also a huge bonus! The on-site catering was also exquisite. We chose to do a buffet and the food choices were all delicious! Many of our guests returned for second and third helpings of the entrees.
The highlight for me is how incredibly picture-worthy the Hotel is, with stunning spots both inside and outside (the bank vault in the ballroom was a favorite!) for amazing wedding photos. Even with nearly 200 guests, the space allowed for comfortable mingling and dancing. The bridal suite and thoughtful touches like packaged cake slices, chocolate-covered fruit, and souvenir champagne glasses made us feel so special.
Pro Tip: I also highly recommend working with Destination Gettysburg. They provided free welcome packets for our guests filled with brochures, discounts, and even kid-friendly items, which enhanced the experience for our guests that stayed the full weekend.
Because of Alaina, I felt completely at ease and confident that everything was in good hands. When I look back on our wedding day, she is absolutely part of those memories—not just as a coordinator, but as someone who helped make the day feel so special. If you’re considering a Gettysburg wedding, Alaina and her team will take amazing care of you from start to finish.

mpt communicator and answered all of our questions very quickly. She's very organized and was a friendly face whenever we needed something from her--it was nice to have her at the first part of the reception. We also really liked the flexibility of the hotel--there are packages that you choose from, but you can customize to fit your exact needs.
The service was excellent--from the front desk staff to the bartenders to the waitstaff, I felt that we were taken care of very well, and so were our guests! And we got an endless stream of compliments on how good the food was--it's really nice when you can find a venue that does their own catering!
The in-town location is really nice (and was especially nice in the winter), so all of our guests could just park their cars and walk around town and explore. I would highly recommend the hotel as a wedding venue for anyone who is looking for a one-stop-shop for all their needs.

I can't say enough good things about Hotel Gettysburg and specifically Alaina who coordinates their weddings. This was the only venue me and my husband looked at and we picked it ...
because it was beautiful and because we loved Alaina so much. Everything is included and set up perfectly and our wedding went off without one single thing going wrong. And we owe all that to Alaina being on top of everything. The food we served at our reception and cocktail hour was amazing and everyone said how much they loved it. If you're looking for a romantic and historic place to get married look no further than Hotel Gettysburg.

All of the staff were professional throughout the whole experience, with many of our guests complimenting their hard work. The catering sales manager Alaina Rineman was especially helpful, always answering our questions promptly and clearly communicating what the hotel needed to know and when. Getting to choose between different meal/drink packages as well as the cake baker made it really easy to customize the reception to meet our tastes and our budget. The wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception transitioned so smoothly, we didn't have to worry about a single thing. We'd highly recommend the hotel for a fun, beautiful day!

ina was our wedding coordinator for our wedding, and we wound up doing a wedding weekend, as a destination wedding for our party. Everyone at the Gettysburg hotel was absolutely incredible! The food for our event was beyond phenomenal! The atmosphere, the directions are given by everyone, all of the extra care and special nuances that were performed by the staff were absolutely absolutely amazing! Everyone went out of their way to make sure that our guest had the best experience! We did have a lot of out of state guest for the wedding, but the Gettysburg hotel made every single one of them feel like family. in fact, most of the people with whom we interacted at the Gettysburg hotel have become like family to us. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel as if we were VIP guest. The money we spent was well worth all of the extras that they made sure that we had. It was a beautiful time. The hotel is gorgeous, and steep full of history. We will definitely have another celebration at the hotel, because we know that this is the best place. They truly made all of our wedding dreams come true. If you want a wonderful wedding, or even just a great party or celebration, please contact this hotel and use them for everything you need. They made things so simple, were incredibly professional, and just made us feel as if they were as excited about our big day as much as we were.

incredibly organized and executed my daughter and son-in-law's vision for their wedding to perfection! She met with us several times, and was highly responsive when we reached out by phone or email. She anticipated our needs so that when we did have questions or requests, she had already taken care of it. We had the rehearsal dinner, a welcome cocktail reception and a brunch as well. The entire staff were pleasant and followed through on every detail. She went above and beyond. For example, she helped with the hotel guest bags, made sure the florist and other vendors knew what they should be doing, and even personally helped move the bride's belongings into the honeymoon suite on the day of the wedding. Nothing was left to chance. We got all our special photos, decorations, and even left over cake wrapped up and saved for us to bring home. Apart from the wonderful service, the hotel was clean, comfortable and welcoming. They made accommodations for an elderly family member. At no time did we feel rushed or that we weren't the center of attention. It was the level of professionalism and pampering that every couple and their family and guests hope for. Thank you, thank you for a memorable event.

rea, 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.

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

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.

I cannot even describe how wonderful the Gettysburg Hotel is. We booked probably almost two years before our wedding day. Obviously, the venue is beautiful. More than that however,...
their staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. It was rainy and cold when I was having pictures taken outside the hotel, and I was greeted on my entry with a warmed blanket. Megan did a phenomenal job decorating and organizing. the food was delicious. I was never without a drink if I wanted one. when the night was over and we saw our room, our cake was packaged. wine, cheese, and strawberries were there. I truly felt cared for and pampered. it was a wonderful experience, from planning to the last second we were there. I can't say enough good things about Megan and the rest of the staff. So kind, helpful, accommodating, prepared and professional. The Gettysburg Hotel knows how to put on a weddding. And all my guests talked about how good the food was and how lovely the venue was! I couldn't be happier. And the price was very reasonable! you can't go wrong.

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!

taff (especially Megan), I won't spoil it for anyone looking to tour the venue. Our wedding was a dream to plan because of how experienced the Gettysburg Hotel's wedding staff is. It was the least stressful aspect of my life (how many brides can say that? ) They were able to facilitate any questions we had, accommodated any and all of our requests, and they were able to make our wedding day perfect. The hotel and our other vendors worked together seamlessly. Nearly a month later, our guests are still raving about how much fun they had at the wedding, how good the food was, and how beautiful they thought our venue was. I can't recommend the Gettysburg Hotel enough.

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.

She and her staff made sure the wedding reception and all of the moving parts that go along with the evening ran smoothly and transparent to us. My daughter and husband, along with so many of our guests, commented on how classy, warm and receiving the entire evening was. We were also fortunate enough to have an evening wedding December 28th, so the decor inside and outside and throughout the town square was beautifully decorated. And what made it even more enchanting, God added some fog which made it seem like you just walked onto the set of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Thanks to Megan and the entire staff of the Gettysburg Hotel, that night was even more beautiful than what we could have asked or planned for. Megan hit this one out of the ballpark!! My family and I recommend this venue without hesitation.

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 ou...
t 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!

Our experience with the gettysburg Hotel was wonderful. We loved everything about it.
We met with the wedding coordinator Megan Wherley and hit it off from the start. We decided to...
get married quick because of having our vacation (honeymoon now) planned out. The hotel has a wedding package which includes 3 different packages. We chose the $63/person package. That was enough for us. They were running a promotion so instead of one night we received 2 nights in the honeymoon suite and 50% off the ballroom rental. We chose from 2 cake venders which were included in the package as well. We went to a tasting which was amazing and very hard to choose the food. You got to choose two entrées and Ultimately we went with Panko encrusted cod and the prime rib. We chose our cake vendor there as well. There were the hotels preferred venders. They even had amazing officiants which turned out to be a great decision. It was a husband and wife duo who were both officiants. A Wedding by Summers. Great people!
Megan did so much. If I had any questions she answered them quickly via email. She was always there when I needed an answer.
Our wedding day was spectacular. We made it easy on everyone. We got married in the ballroom in front of this neat looking vault and had our reception in there as well. Everything was set up while our guests were at cocktail hour. Everyone loved the food and said how beautiful the hotel was and how much fun they had. We will never forget that night.

Megan made everything very easy. Our vision came out the way we wanted it to and all our guest said it was the best wedding they ever been too. The food was excellent. The only pr...
oblem I have was that we also had a breakfast and lunch for the girls while our hair and makeup was being done. The food was supposed to be bagels for breakfast and half wraps and finger sandwiches for lunch. Well the lunch was brought out at the same time as the bagels and was sitting out. They did take it back to keep it cold for us until we wanted it, but no one really trusted it after it sat out. The spread that they put out was not really appetizing to anyone. There was only very tiny finger sandwiches that filled no one up and no half wraps like I expected. That being said the food for the actual wedding was fantastic.

Compared to other venues pricing and Gettysburg Hotel's all inclusive packages, this was definitely the way to go. Also appreciated the acceptance of us being Bride and Bride. Ever...
y single time I emailed Megan, which was a lot, or had any questions or changes, she responded immediately and fully and was the epitome of professional and thorough. Every part of our contract was laid out in detail and everything was fully explained and reviewed and Megan also assisted with finer details we hadn't thought of and was a supportive and friendly presence who didn't miss anything. she also was very flexible with her schedule at all times. the hotel had some awesome wedding vendor events and a lot of helpful tools to help us find vendors they have used in the past. we also had a very lovely tasting and tour, which sealed the deal for us. The wedding package price also included a cake from an option of two bakers. Megan also taught us how to cut the cake. We went with Karen Rodkey, which was also the best choice, our guests are still gushing about our cake. I am so excited to have the top tier for our anniversary. We received so many compliments on everything. Megan is an expert designer (it was beautiful and turned out better than I had envisioned) and has a great team and they are very efficient at multi tasking. I loved having the safe lights on and the bars closed during the ceremony, made for excellent photos. The cocktail hour was fun and food during the cocktail hour was delicious. For dinner, we had plated meal options of the citrus and horseradish encrusted salmon (amazing!) and chicken with fontina cream and tomato relish (equally as amazing) and a napoleon polenta as the veggie option. Everyone raved about the food. Megan, the chef, and staff were on point for those with allergies or special dietary needs. hotel was very helpful with coordinating our entrances and exits and assisted with set ups. The bridal suite was gorgeous and in close proximity to the ballroom and also complimentary, with a beautiful fire place and jacuzzi tub. The hotel staff brought all our gifts to the room for us without us having to ask as well as took care of decorations and clean up as well. They also had a lovely spread and treats for us in the room for after the wedding for a very personable experience and a keep sake we can't wait to use. Hotel staff were also very helpful with any assistance or request. We love that Gettysburg is now a part of our history and had a great time at the location in the square. Megan and the Gettysburg hotel is the way to go!

hing touches on my table decorations, and made my ceremony and reception look absolutely beautiful. During every step of the way, Megan was level-headed, reassuring, and supportive.
The venue itself is beautiful. The ballroom's high ceilings and vault are breathtaking. The vault was a huge hit at my wedding. My guests loved taking photos inside. The rooms and honeymoon suites are wonderful.
I cannot say enough good things about Megan, the Gettysburg Hotel, and their staff who helped make my big day amazing.
Thanks for everything!

I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about the Gettysburg Hotel! From the first meeting to the end of the reception night everything was handled with professionalism and care. Meg...
an, our event planner, was so knowledgeable and helpful in making the day special, memorable, and easy!! There was no stress, no wondering if everything was set. I was able to be have fun and be a guest at the reception instead of having to check that everything was done. After working with Megan in the months leading up to the wedding I had no doubt that she and her staff would have everything done to PERFECTION! All the staff from the front desk, wait staff, and bartenders were professional and friendly and went out of their way to make our guests feel special and well taken care of. We had 30 guests from France who were blown away by the food, wine, and hospitality! What a wonderful way to introduce these truly "out of towners" to Gettysburg and the USA. The Gettysburg Hotel made sure our memories of such a special day were happy, fun, and unforgettable!

ded on the hotel because they just take care of everything! My wedding day was worry free and I was so relaxed marrying the love of my life. The venue is beautiful! The hotel has such a romantic and elegant feel. The hotel has great food and beverage packages to choose from. They even put together a beautiful tasting in the ballroom and invite all the couples and their families to come taste all the food before making your menu decisions. The food is so delicious and all of our guests enjoyed it! The wedding cake is also provided by Karen Rodkey Cakes and she does an amazing job! It was beyond delicious and beautiful! Megan did such an amazing job decorating the ballroom with all the decorations we provided! She is so creative and put all of our centerpieces and decorations together so perfectly. All of the vendors the hotel works with are wonderful. The flowers from The Flower Shop (Koons Florist) were stunning. Jon our DJ from Great Scott Productions kept the party going. The Gettysburg day spa did an amazing job with our hair and makeup. A touch of class limousine did a great job driving the wedding party around the battlefield for pictures and the party bus was so much fun! Barb Peet from Just Vacations planned a beautiful honeymoon to Greece for us! We had our ceremony at the Lincoln Train Station and it was stunning. I love how the hotel works with the train station. It is such a neat and amazing venue!
I could go on and on about how special and amazing our wedding day was! Thank you Megan at the Gettysburg Hotel. I highly recommended this venue for your wedding day! ❤️

an was easily accessible throughout the entire process. She was helpful, patient and insightful. I cannot put into words how amazing she was - throughout the planning process as well as the entire day of our wedding. I would show pictures of decor and reality was better than the pictures. The flow of the day was seamless. I truly was stress free the day of the wedding- all thanks to Megan and the staff. The site is beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff is so accommodating. We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple looking for an amazing and easy wedding planning experience. The vendors they recommended went above and beyond as well. People are still talking about our cupcakes from Karen Rodkey. The flowers from The Flowershop (Koons Florist) in Littlestown were breath taking!

t the historic Lincoln-Gettysburg Railroad Station and reception inside the ballroom. If you are looking for something unique, historic and place for your guests to make your wedding into a weekend getaway, the Gettysburg Hotel is the place to book your wedding. Both the railroad station and ballroom have plenty of character alone, or you can add your own unique touches to meet the couples’ personalities. Megan is professional, cares about each couple and makes sure everything that you envisioned for your wedding day is accomplished. Megan and the hotel staff go above and beyond! Our gifts were brought up the bridal suite, along with slices of the wedding cake, champagne and glasses, and a spread of fruit, cheeses and crackers. The food is delicious with a variety of options. We requested a duet chicken and beef platter, which was not listed as a standard option, but the chef was willing to accommodate our request. He also accommodated for our guests who had food allergies, and even made a special dinner for two guests. We attended the fall expo at the hotel, which allowed us to sample the food and meet with some of the local vendors. This helped us in choosing the florist, officiant and cake. I would also like to make a plug for Karen Rodkey cakes...she makes AMAZING cakes. We made an appointment to sample her cakes at her bakery, which was my husband’s favorite experience of the entire wedding planning process. So many of our guests raved about the wedding cake. The hotel and town of Gettysburg are charming, provides plenty of photo opportunities, as well as offers attractions for your guests. You will love your wedding at the Gettysburg Hotel!

Raining 2+ inches an hour, thier vows were being exchanged, and as mother of the bride, I wasn’t worried about it thing! Megan at the Gettysburg Hotel was in charge, and I was f...
ree to show up at the party of a lifetime, unphased by anything, not even torrential rain.
My husban and I arrived at the Gettysburg hotel, and stepped into the cocktail hour. Drinks were being enjoyed by our closest and dearest family and friends, crisply uniformed servers passed delicious food, the bride and groom, smiling from ear to ear. Over a year of planning and now, this most important event, was running like a top.
As we passed a round table set like spokes in a wheel, warmly lit with candles, place cards and photos of family brides and grooms smiled at us from weddings long ago. And as we stepped into the ballroom, Megan at my side, I couldn’t have been more pleased. The tables were perfectly set, the cake and candy table, a work of art! Megan has skill and an eye for perfection. In my opinion, she has abilities that would be welcome in the finer hotels of NY or DC.
The night went off without a hitch, the ballroom was softly and romantically lit, the food was really good, the servers were on thier game and a young marriage was ushered off to a wonderful beginning.
Thank you to Megan Wherley, Catering and Events Manager at the Gettysburg Hotel, and to the wonderfully competent staff to whom I wish I could name individually.

ng we had dreamt of and more. We had the best time! The staff went above and beyond, they were so friendly and kind to us and our guests. Our wedding reception at the train station was perfect. I was so impressed how cool it stayed under the pavillon during a sunny 80 degree day. The food was amazing, I still have family members talking about it! I wish I would have had a chance to try the springroll... apparently they were a hit. My matron of honor later told me how lucky I was to have chosen your venue because everything went so smooth, on time, and we were well taken care of. I have two friends who just got engaged and I've recommend the Gettysburg Hotel to both of them. My husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so special! Megan takes a personal interest in her clients and literally makes your day!
