King Mansion was absolutely beautiful for our wedding day. Our venue coordinator, Andrea, kept the day running smoothly. We received so many compliments about our venue. It’s the perfect location for a classy, elegant vibe. I was slightly worried about traffic noise being so close to the road but this was not an issue at all. Lots of room for guests to move about inside or outside during cocktail hour. Nice reception room with plenty of dance floor space. Their catering partner, JDK, was excellent. Highly recommend!

I held a work event here and it was absolutely amazing! We rented the downstairs space and it was a perfect place for people to get dressed up and come out to enjoy an evening of networking and celebrating my organization. I was impressed with the service I received leading up to the event, and appreciated the onsite presence just in case it was needed. I also really enjoyed working with JDK's staff both to plan the event and throughout the evening of our event. They were meticulous with set up, pleasant and helpful with my questions, and my guests had only wonderful things to say about the food and bar service. 10/10 would recommend!

We got married here in September and truly had the best experience. From the beginning, Annie was organized and so helpful. Throughout the process Annie and team helped us navigate the stress of wedding planning seamlessly. The Mansion was a gorgeous venue, we barely had to invest in any decor because it was already so beautiful. Our guests raved about the location, food, ambiance, and overall organization of the day. We had an outside ceremony on the lawn which was beautiful and dance the night away in the ballroom. We could not be happier with our experience. Truly 10/10!

We had our wedding at the King Mansion in Harrisburg, with Abby as our JDK wedding coordinator. The venue was stunning, and everything that we could dream of. Abby was organized, communicated well to address our concerns, and was very professional. The food was amazing, and the staff during our wedding were professional, led by Todd, our event manager. Overall, we were extremely pleased with Abby and the venue.

Our wedding at Historic King Mansion was everything we hoped for and more. JDK could not have done a better job bringing our vision to life. Everyone was so lovely to work with and truly wanted us to have the day we had always dreamed of. The mansion is gorgeous inside and out and served as the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Our guests raved about the venue, food and friendly staff. Historic King Mansion and JDK truly made our day one we will cherish forever.

Our wedding at the Historic King Mansion was an absolute dream come true. This venue is a perfect blend of vintage glamour and modern simplicity, creating an enchanting atmosphere that exceeded all our expectations. The beauty of the mansion itself left us in awe, and our guests couldn't stop raving about how stunning it was. The picturesque river nearby added an extra touch of magic, providing incredible photo opportunities that captured the essence of our special day. One highlight of our experience was renting the Evans Inn next door. I would 1000% recommend it to any couple considering it. Being just steps away from the venue, it offered a tranquil and relaxing escape. We hosted our rehearsal dinner there, and it was nothing short of perfect. Cheryl and Marc, who oversee the operations, were fantastic to work with. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our experience was seamless and memorable made a significant impact on our wedding weekend. If you're looking for a venue that combines historic charm with modern elegance, and a team that truly cares about your experience, the Historic King Mansion is the perfect choice. We loved every moment of our time there!

King Mansion was the first and only wedding reception venue we looked at because it instantly checked all of our boxes on our vision. Classic and romantic was the vibe we were going for and King Mansion was exactly that. It fit all 150 of our guests comfortably.

The venue is fantastic. It provides the charm of a historic home, with updated, modern finishes. The best of both worlds! We particularly liked that there are beautiful rooms with comfortable seating for guests to chat throughout the entire night if they would prefer to be in a quieter space away from the band. It provides beautiful views of the river for sunset photos. Beautiful and functional, and I would highly recommend it.

Hello Katie,

enjoyed the unique charm and modern elegance of our venue and that it was able to provide beautiful backdrop for your sunset photos.
It was a pleasure hosting your special day, and we truly appreciate your wonderful recommendation!

King Mansion is truly a hidden gem in Harrisburg. It gives South of France vibes without the need for our friends and family to travel too far - the absolute perfect venue for us! Every inch of this venue is gorgeous and also very functional (i.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.

Having my wedding at King Mansion was the best decision I've ever made! The venue is absolutely breathtaking with so many amenities and amazing photo opportunities. The JDK group was fantastic to work with and absolutely made my wedding dreams a reality! Our guests could not stop talking about how incredible everything was! If you want to have the wedding of your dreams, I cannot recommend the JDK group and this venue enough!

King Mansion, along with the JDK Group, did an amazing job hosting our wedding. Our coordinator Alyssa and the rest of the staff were great to work with and all of our guests loved the venue and raved about the food! The mansion is stunning and 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!

This venue is incredible. It provides a modernized Gatsby feel and the space is HUGE. Both the bride and groom's suites are spacious. We appreciated the option for an outdoor ceremony, but opted to have it in the ballroom. The multiple parlor rooms are beautifully decorated and allow for guests who don't dance to have a space to have conversations and actually be able to hear each other--all of them got used throughout the night! The venue offers ample parking and is convenient for local hotels. I cannot speak highly enough about how smooth and efficient things went with this venue! It is gorgeous, a true hidden gem! We worked with Abby throughout the process and she was incredible in helping bring our vision to life!

We had our company holiday party at Historic King Mansion and it was absolutely amazing! The mansion is gorgeous and the ballroom made the perfect location to host the dinner, a video/presentation to celebrate the employees, as well as dancing after dinner wrapped up. In addition to the ballroom, the other rooms available allowed the guests to meander around with a cocktail in hand to enjoy the other activities our company had available for us to enjoy. I 100% recommend Historic King Mansion for anyone looking to host their party, wedding, or any other celebration!

The exquisite Historic King Mansion was the setting of my daughter's wedding. The beautiful venue, JDK Catering, and Venue Event Specialist, Julianna provided my daughter and son in-law the wedding of their dreams. It was a perfect day from start to finish. In person the Historic King Mansion is even more impressive than in pictures.

Historic King Mansion was absolutely our dream wedding venue and did not disappoint! JDK did a wonderful job of coordinating and executed our vision perfectly. Since JDK manages the venue and is the exclusive caterer, we felt like everything was so seamless and stress free.
The venue itself is so romantic and provides a lot of different opportunities for great photos. We loved that there is a lot of seating and different spaces within the mansion for our guests to mingle. JDK set up bar tables and the most beautiful displays which added to the atmosphere of our beautiful day. Our guests also raved about the food, and we loved the amount of options that were available to choose from!
If you’re thinking about booking your wedding here, absolutely do it.

This is the most beautiful venue in Harrisburg to host a wedding! The remodeled interior is the perfect combination of old character with new amenities and charm. There are plenty of areas for guest to mingle both inside and out, so you never have to worry about the elements or bad weather, but if you are blessed with good weather, guests can certainly enjoy the views of the river and patio out front. Our guests were amazed from start to finish with not only the venue, but the amazing service and food from JDK! Couldn't be happier with our day, just wish we could do it all over again!!!

The King Mansion was the perfect space for our wedding reception! I have been driving past it since my now-husband and I started dating, telling him that it was where our wedding would be and I am so glad we did! The location on the water is absolutely stunning. We loved that it had parking for guests as well as an easy area for our trolley to drop off guests. The different rooms allowed our guests to enjoy the band and dance or sit in quieter rooms for conversation. We worked with Julianna from JDK and she was exceptional at bringing our vision to life! JDK catering was also perfect- we have gotten so many compliments on our food and their service was impeccable. We could not recommend King Mansion more!

I’ve attended multiple events at Historic King Mansion, and it’s such an amazing wedding and event space! Each room has been beautifully restored, from the elegant grand staircase which guests see as soon as they walk through the door, to the bride’s suite, groom’s room, parlor, and main ballroom. The interior of the mansion is the perfect blend of classic and contemporary—it has a high-end, timeless style, but also a casual, intimate feel. The outside of the mansion is also stunning, with wonderful photo opportunities on majestic second-story balconies and terraces overlooking the Susquehanna River! 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 had already booked our venue with a deposit when we found about the Historic Kings Mansion. With COVID however we were afraid the ceremony at the church may not be able to happen. We toured the mansion and fell in love with every room as well as the balconies and outside. The church assured us we would not have a problem but I could not get the mansion out of my mind. 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 family & 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.

My husband and I are very appreciative of the team at Historic King Mansion!!! We decided to change venues three months before our scheduled wedding date due to COVID restrictions and they were flexible and accommodating! The venue was understanding of our dilemma and made me feel so much better after working together on a rescheduled date. It is recently renovated and absolutely gorgeous! Just take a chance and check it out; you will not be disappointed! We worked with Molly who was very knowledgeable on general questions we had during the wedding planning. JDK is the caterer and their food is the best (we still get compliments from guests to this day). Seriously such a perfect day!! Highly recommend to everyone!

We had our wedding here last week and it was perfect!! The Mansion is beautiful and our guests were so impressed. The bridal and grooms suites are roomy and updated. We loved being right by the river and the picture opportunities are great! The Mansion is so very clean, open, and bright. We are so incredibly happy we chose this venue for our wedding.

Although we did not ultimately choose King Mansion for our venue, we had an amazing experience touring with Molly and it was definitely tough walking away from this venue. The main reason we did not choose it was the lack of on site accommodations. However, the venue is absolutely gorgeous and has beautiful spots for pictures. Molly was the main attraction for us though! This location was the first tour we did and she spent as much time with us as we needed answering all of our questions and giving us every detail of the venue. 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!

The Historic King Mansion truly exceeded our expectations! The Mansion itself is stunning and the front lawn was the perfect place for our ceremony. JDK Catering was the best is making our entire wedding picture perfect. We wanted our guests to have a stress free and relaxing evening, with minimal travel, so we were able to have the ceremony on the front lawn, cocktail hour inside the mansion and the reception in a tent on the other side of the lawn. Michelle was extremely helpful in the entire planning process and assisted us during our rehearsal as well as the day of the wedding, going above and beyond, even cueing the bridal party. The Mansion was spotless and the bridal suite was stunning! Our pictures from the balcony were beautiful! I was slightly concerned about the noise from front street, but it wasn't an issue. Our DJ (mixed up productions) provided a microphone. I am sooo thrilled with our wedding at the Historic King Mansion!!!
