My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Radisson. We started working with the team in 2021 when we booked. Months before our reception, there was a staff transition as the previous wedding coordinator had left. We then began working with the new coordinator, Melanie. Leading up to the reception, Melanie was on the ball. She made sure to communicate, accommodate, and help my husband and I. There were some hiccups, but this was purely due to staff transitions. Melanie made us feel reassured and calm throughout the chaos. Our guests were impressed with the drinks, the appetizers, and the dinner. Overall we recommend the Radisson for both stays and a wedding reception. The ballroom looked incredible. Also, we’d like to mention Anna decorated much of the space and hallway beautifully. We can’t say enough great things!

Felicity and the entire staff at the Radisson was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. From start to finish planning was professional, stress free, and fun. Felicity was super responsive and resourceful. She helped coordinate, plan, and execute every detail and our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We cant thank her and the entire staff enough!

This was the MOST perfect place to host our wedding reception. My husband is a BIG train history fan, and having our wedding reception in an old train station was the perfect move. My guests, even months after, still talk about how great the party was and how selflessly KIND all of the staff were! Of the whole day, the reception held at the Radisson was definitely one of the absolute best parts. We could not have had such a great day without the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place and its amazing people.

This is a unique building, but I would not recommend reserving a wedding block here. They do not seem very organized, which caused a lot of our requests to fall through the cracks. We had issues confirming the number of rooms in our block, and they were very unresponsive when I requested a list of our guests, which caused difficulty in getting the right number of welcome bags for each room. Our experience with the nearby Hilton was much better.

Felicity and her team were amazing for our Aug 5th wedding. We had a smaller wedding so the platform lounge was perfect for us for reception and the lobby was beautiful for our ceremony. They really work with you to make sure your day is special

We are so happy that we had our wedding at the Radisson. They helped our vision come to life and the ballroom was absolutely stunning. Felicity was a huge help in the process! She was so responsive and really listened to what we wanted and helped create the perfect layout. We had a huge wedding and the space was laid out perfectly and it did not feel cramped at all. There was barely any lines at the bars for cocktail hour or the reception. Definitely recommend hosting your dream wedding at the Radisson. Also, Trax is the perfect spot for the after party! Radisson truly has it all!

My husband and I got married at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel on June 25th, 2022. From the moment we walked into the building on our initial tour, we knew that we wanted to be married at this gorgeous location. We decided to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on site, and we had the pleasure of working alongside Wedding Specialist, Felicity. Our entire wedding process was not only smooth, but FUN. Felicity is extremely organized, creative, friendly, and great with communication. She answered all of our questions along the way, and helped us to stay on track with the wedding planning timeline. My husband and I were able to add our own special touches to the wedding and make decisions about both large and small details. Hosting your wedding at the Radisson truly is a personalized experience. I honestly felt NO stress on the day of the wedding as Felicity and her team handled all of the logistics. I am extremely grateful that I was able to truly enjoy every moment of my wedding day - from getting ready all the way through the reception - all thanks to the incredible work of Felicity and her team. The guests at my wedding had a wonderful time, and loved the fact that they could stay at the Radisson on the night of the wedding. We even continued the party at the Trax Bar in the lobby after the reception had ended. I had such a positive wedding planning experience and an amazing wedding day that I would sincerely recommend the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel to anyone planning a wedding or special event.

Before we toured Radisson we just knew it was our place. Sure we went to other venues just because it felt like the right thing to do, but nowhere else held a candle to the beauty, professionalism, and overall good vibes we got here. Once we were locked in the whole planning process for the ceremony and reception was super simple and straightforward from the get-go. This was mostly in part because of Felicity, truly a superstar wedding coordinator. We cannot say enough great things about working with her - she was always super personable, responsive, and accommodating with everything we possibly needed (and patient to boot!) The available packages were very flexible and she could make any additional or weird request we had happen without batting an eye. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, went smoothly the day of our wedding from the timeline to coordinating with vendors to handling our signage. We had quite a few bells and whistles for our décor/reception and Felicity made sure everything was just so, this girl understood the assignment and knocked it out of the park. The set up was beautiful, food was delicious, drinks were great, and staff was stellar. 10/10 would get married here again (but thankfully we won't need to)

Having grown up in Scranton, I was certain before checking out venues that I did not want to use one of the hotels. Then, the Radisson was only the second venue we visited and we absolutely fell in love! It’s hard to compete with the beauty and uniqueness of the lobby area (where we had our cocktail hour, but where you are also able to have your ceremony)! In addition to that, we loved the convenience of having everything in one place, (including Trax for an after party which felt more fun than a typical hotel bar) as well as the central location in downtown Scranton making it easier for our guests to fill their downtime. Finally, we were so grateful to the wedding coordinator, Felicity! She was incredibly helpful in the planning process, super attentive and prompt with responding to questions and made sure every detail was taken care of on the wedding day. Not every venue comes with a built in wedding coordinator so this felt like an extra great perk! Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this venue for a Scranton wedding!!

Best venue in Scranton!The Radisson went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding. From the gorgeously decorated lobby to the dreamy ballroom, our guests continued to be impressed with this venue. Not only was the venue amazing but so was the staff. We could not even imagine our wedding without our rock and coordinator, Felicity. She always had a plan ready to go when we had meetings, made us feel like she truly cared about our big day, and was overall a pleasure to work with. Her staff made our night run incredibly smooth and flawless. Thank you for making our wedding day extra special!

Everyone at the Radisson was amazing on our wedding weekend! They were helpful in setting up our extra decor and they kept us on our timeline! Everything turned out perfectly! Leading up to the event they were responsive, professional, and friendly. Our questions felt heard, and you know they value you as a couple and your event. We highly recommend the Radisson!

The Lackawanna Station Hotel was the perfect venue for our small Christmas wedding. The lobby decorations were beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for our cocktail hour. Our reception was in the Platform Lounge and fit our vibe and aesthetic perfectly. Everything was set up exactly as we had discussed. Felicity and Abbey were both wonderful to work with during the planning process. They were responsive to e-mails and very accommodating to our ideas. Even though we had a very small wedding, they still paid great attention to detail and made us feel very special on our wedding day. We received so many compliments from our guests both on the food as well as the decor and beauty of the venue.

This venue is beautiful. We choose it mostly because of the lobby. It's really unique and makes for pretty amazing photos. Ill be honest, I thought long and hard before giving 4 stars because there were a few hiccups along the way. The wedding coordinator/specialist changed 3 times, but this all happened during the pandemic. I first booked the Radisson back in 2019 for an Oct 2020 wedding. My wedding finally happened in Oct 2021. There were a few issues along the way, a couple of things that needed to get sorted out and fought through but all in all, I would say it wasn't a bad experience at all. Felicity, although new on her role, was as accommodating as she could be. Abbey, the sales director, worked with me as best she could though some things as well. I will say, the day of my wedding, any issues that I might have had were all long forgotten as the team really did such a phenomenal job. Not ONE thing went wrong. So all in all, my experience was a good one with this venue for sure!

We had a tremendous time. Even though we were the first couple to have our wedding at the outdoor event it went very well. The food was excellent. The setting was absolutely perfect and we had a great day weather wise as well. The wedding planners Felicity and Abbey did a super job and our guests still talk about how great the venue worked out. We had the time of our lives!

The Radisson was an incredible venue to have our wedding. Our coordinator, Felicity, was organized and communicative. She took care of everything for us and made wedding planning much easier, especially since we live in California and got married in Pennsylvania. The venue was beautiful and Felicity coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure the day ran smoothly. They went above and beyond to make our day so much fun!

As the mother of the groom, I can tell you the Radisson Hotel in Scranton Pa, is by far the most beautiful venue for a wedding. Felicity and her staff were the most professional, accommodating people to work with. Everything was beautiful and it was an amazing weekend for all of us and our guests.We did not have to ask for anything, it was all done for us. The staff during the reception were amazing!! They asked the guests if there was anything they needed throughout the night! They never stopped, they were so attentive ,all the guests were truly amazed of the service and professionalism from everybody at this venue!!
The food throughout cocktail hour, dinner and the after party was first class all the way!! Thank you so much to everyone at the Radisson!!

I can’t say enough good things about the Radisson as a wedding venue.
Amanda is a dream come true to work with she saved me from having numerous breakdowns during the difficult stages of wedding planning and helped my new husband and I with everything! The day of the wedding we were in very good hands, between Amanda checking in on us every step of the day from start to finish but then all the other staff waiting on us every second of the night. The entire place was spotless and beautiful, everyone was beyond helpful and attentive. I can’t recommend the Radisson as a wedding venue enough!!!!

I always dreamed of getting married at The Radisson, and on February 22 my dream became a reality. We held our ceremony and reception at The Radisson, and couldn’t have been happier with our day. The beautiful, historic building was the perfect setting for our romantic winter wedding.
From the first meeting with Amanda, the on site wedding coordinator, I knew everything would be perfect. Amanda is accommodating, attentive, helpful, organized, and friendly! She made our day run smooth, and her experience ensured the perfect day.
After our wedding, we received nothing but compliments about the venue, food, and staff. We highly recommend having your wedding at The Radisson!

We held our wedding at the Radisson over a year ago, and we are still receiving compliments on the reception! From the amazing food and drinks, to beautiful architecture and decor, every detail exceeded our expectations. After touring multiple venues in NEPA, we felt completely at home and at ease with the environment at the Radisson. Simply put, as far as the venue itself goes, we couldn’t be happier.
Of course, our review wouldn't be complete without acknowledging the amazing staff, bartenders, and servers that contributed to our special day. They exceeded everyone’s expectations in order to create a fantastic experience for all. Amanda DiPierro, Wedding Specialist at the Radisson, was exceptional! She was the glue that held our reception together. We planned our hometown wedding from afar with ease, thanks to her. She accommodated our schedules, our requests, and our preferences. While Amanda was amazing during the planning process, she continued to out-perform herself the night of our event as well. She even went above and beyond to correct issues that arose from some of our other vendors that evening too. Amanda’s commitment to excellence ensured that our night was perfect for us and all of our guests. We cannot recommend her or the Radisson enough!

My husband Jack and I held our wedding reception at the Radisson in early December and everything was PERFECT. From the very beginning the planning was a breeze. The wedding coordinator Amanda is amazing at what she does and she is just as excited as you are for your big day. She answered all our questions quickly and reassured us many times during the planning process. She made sure everything went smoothly the day of so we did not have to worry about anything. All our guests repeatedly told us how good the food was. The staff at the Radisson is extremely attentive. Luis and Mary are phenomenal, JR, Eli were all extremely helpful. They brought us drinks and hors d'ouevres so we got to enjoy everything while greeting all our guests. The staff that helped with our breakfast the next morning was extremely accomodating. I cannot recommend the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel enough, they helped give us some memories we will never forget.

Our wedding at the Radisson was perfect! The venue itself was amazing and especially great for us because we had so many out of town guests. The ceremony and cocktail hour were both held in the lobby, which has vaulted ceilings and amazing detail in the architecture, and the ballrooms that held the reception were beautiful. It was great because our guests didn't have to worry about travel during the events of our big day! The best part of choosing the Radisson, though, is having access to their amazing wedding coordinator, Amanda! She walked us through every step leading up to the wedding and was very informative while keeping us calm and relaxed the whole time! She was on top of everything before and during the day of and everything went smoothly :) Thank you so much to the Radisson, their staff, who accommodated us and our guests the day of, and especially Amanda!!

We enjoyed a magical evening and celebration of our daughter’s wedding at the beautiful Radisson Hotel. Everything about the evening was seamless and beautiful. From the gorgeous fountain and marble columns in the lobby to the red, ivory and gold color theme ballroom to the magnificent entertainment of Picture Perfect, the high quality culinary experience with a Scottish flare , flowers, photographer, bagpiper, pianist, artist and signage....and so much more.....we highly recommend the Radisson and the very capable team of our wedding planner Amanda, and Mary and Luis and staff. Amanda’s favorite line throughout the planning process was “we’ve got this!” And she is a person true to her word!

We cannot begin to describe how perfect our wedding day was at the Radisson Lackawanna Station! Amanda was AMAZING and helped to make our planning process an easy one from start to finish. She made us feel at ease every step of the way and was very attentive to all of our questions. After every meeting with her we felt more and more confident that we had made the right decision. She really took any and all stress out of the way. The Radisson is a gorgeous venue with a wonderful staff. We did not get married on site, but we held our rehearsal dinner in the Platform Lounge and reception in the ballroom. The food and service was excellent! The majority of our guests were from out of town and we continue to hear wonderful reviews regarding the food, service and hotel accommodations. Every single staff member we came in contact with was wonderful and friendly. We can confidently recommend the Radisson Lackawanna Station to anyone planning a wedding! You will definitely not be disappointed.

Working with Amanda and the Radisson team made everything so much easier than we expected! From the early stages of planning through our post wedding breakfast, everything was perfect. Amanda made sure to keep us updated on anything we had to do and was always there to quickly answer any questions or provide feedback on ideas. We couldn’t believe how beautiful the ballroom looked when she gave us a sneak peak during cocktail hour, it was exactly how we wanted down to the very last detail! We also received many compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was and how kind the wait & bar staff was. We wouldn’t have changed a thing!

I don’t have enough great words to explain my experience with Amanda & the Radisson Lackawanna Station. I got married on November 9, 2019 and the Radisson went above and beyond my expectations! From my first meeting with Amanda, I knew this would be the place that would make my dreams come true & they did not fall short! Amanda helped make the planning process a breeze. She answered every single question I had with great knowledge and ensured everything I wished for would happen and it sure did! Not only was Amanda fantastic, but the ENTIRE staff that worked the night of my wedding were AMAZING! Not one time did I ever have to get myself a drink, and that included my husband, my parents and my in laws. I will certainly recommend every single bride I know to the Radisson. I can’t thank them enough for making the biggest day in my life the BEST day of my life!!!

It’s hard to put into words how amazing our wedding was at the Radisson Lackawanna Station. As soon as I walked into the venue, I knew my wedding had to be held there. The beautiful and unique building allowed us to have a wedding that was not a “hotel” wedding. Our guests commented numerous times about the space and the professionalism of the staff.
Amanda was a godsend with planning our wedding. I can say I had almost zero stress because she walked me through what I needed to do to plan a wedding. The day was so smooth because she made it that way.
The food was not typical wedding food. People commented on the variety and quality of the food. The service was amazing from all staff.
I would recommend having a wedding at the Radisson Lackawanna Station hotel to anyone planning their big day.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, venue, and Amanda the wedding coordinator. We had no idea what we were getting into with wedding planning and Amanda made it not only easy but ENJOYABLE! The venue was more than accommodating throughout the entire process and to our guests. The staff was friendly from the moment people checked in until the second we left! It is a breeze having your wedding here. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the vendors they work with and recommend are amazing! Our wedding was on the bigger side and they handled everything with no problems. They have everything you need for your wedding, from a bridal suite to get ready in, to a room for rehearsal dinner, and everything in between. If you’re looking for a venue, look no further, this is it!

My husband and I recently had our wedding at the Radisson in October. It was the perfect venue for our local family and friends, as well as, our out of town guests. We started working with Amanda from the Radisson in August of the previous year. She was extremely helpful in making this process as easy as possible. She answered each email and question quickly and I never had to worry about a thing. She reassured us that the day would be perfect and that it was. She was our lifeline when we lost our photographer just 18 days out. I can’t say enough good things about Amanda, and how much she eased our minds about every little detail. Fast forward to our wedding day. Everything was above and beyond our expectations, and seeing the ballroom come together was breathtaking. Each staff member made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. The staff members at our after party were so much fun! As a person who has a hard time handing over the reins to someone else, I knew I was in the right hands with Amanda and the Radisson. I highly recommend the Radisson for any event or wedding needs! It was the best day ever, and we’re forever grateful of the memories we have.

I recently got married at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel and I can honestly say it was the most incredible experience. From the start of planning, Amanda D. was so helpful and accommodating in the process of choosing all of the fine details. She was always available to answer a quick question and she never even batted an eye when we made last minute changes. She even set us up with a musician when our original plan fell through (with not a lot of time to spare). Amanda is a truly a lifesaver!! When it came to the big day, everything went off without a hitch. Amanda and Mary continuously checked on me while getting ready and they both even made sure that I got to eat the amazing food during the busy day. We got married in the atrium and it was stunning! The amazing staff even made sure there were no random people wandering into the ceremony (since it is the lobby). We had brunch in the ballroom and the space was set up so beautifully and it honestly exceeded the expectations that I had. The bartenders and staff that helped with brunch were so friendly and accommodating to our guests. Also, the food was delicious and all of our guests were very pleased. Overall it was an amazing experience to get married at the Radisson, I would highly recommend this venue for any couple looking to get married in Scranton.

where do I start?! Booking with the Radisson was the best decision! They take care of you from the minute you tour. The venue itself is beautiful, the staff is beyond exceptional, and the coordinator took amazing care of us. They paid attention to the smallest detail and we never stressed knowing we were in great hands. The FOOD! Also fabulous! Every one of our guests commented how beautiful everything was, how smooth everything flowed. nothing compared to the Radisson in the region.

I had my ceremony and reception at the Radisson. Let me tell you, wedding planning was in no way shape or form stress free or easy. However, Amanda DiPierro from The Radisson made it easy and so much less stressful!
Let me start of first by saying the venue/hotel itself is gorgeous inside and out. It’s a perfect place for a wedding no matter the season. You can get amazing pictures outside the hotel, in the surrounding area, as well as indoors.
The food? Bomb. All of my guests could not rave enough about the food. Amanda was very accommodating, from allergies to providing vegan/vegetarian options. One of my guests is allergic to more than 5 major food items and they accommodated her needs no problem!
Everyone loved the drinks/bars and the prices were very reasonable.
The staff were absolutely amazing, helpful, nice and really tended to all guests. Me and my husband were running around and the staff made sure we were able to get our meal. They even wrapped it up and stored it in the fridge of our overnight room (which is provided in the wedding package—so cool).
The place was well kept and super clean.
Any last minute issues we ran into, Amanda made sure to be on top of EVERYTHING. She made sure nothing was out of place and everything was handled smoothly.
Mary helps out with the ceremony, making sure the bridal party is prepared and fully ready. She’s the sweetest little thing! And super on top of things, making sure everyone understands their place and that mistakes are covered up no problem!
Overall, I had an excellent experience and fully recommended The Radisson in Scranton, PA to everyone! Could not rave more about it!!

My husband and I got married back in May at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton and could not have dreamed of a more perfect location, atmosphere and staff. From the first time we stepped into the grand foyer, we were taken away by how beautiful and historic the venue was. We both felt that the price was worth the investment and that everything was so easy to customize based on our needs. It was defiantly a stress relief knowing that we didn’t have to pay for those things we didn’t want or go without something that we did. Each step in the planning process was well organized, communicated and broken down into manageable sections that were easy to complete or modify as we went.
Throughout all the planning meetings, email, calls and drop-in’s, the coordinator was a godsend and truly took care of everything. She not only coordinated with the vendors, kept us on track, answered every question imaginable, she was there for support, laughter and guidance from start-to-finish. Our outside vendors all complemented the staff for being so easy to work with and friendly.
The food and chef were 5-star in my book. As someone with dietary restrictions, I felt completely confident that he took the time and attention to make sure that every ingredient that went into our meals was perfect. Our guests raved about the quality and amount of food that they received and were pleasantly surprised with it not being the traditional “wedding chicken” they’ve eaten at weddings past.
The staff throughout the entire weekend went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel welcomed and pampered, often stopping to ask if there was anything they could do to help and offering coffee.
The rooms and accommodations could not have been any more accommodating. The bridal suite provided the perfect setup and amount of space for everyone to get ready and photographed beautifully! There was no hallway, stairwell or space outside that was not accessible to us and our photographer. Even prior to our weeding, we were invited to take a tour with our photographer to capture the spaces and views the venue has to offer. Truly breathtaking! Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was and marveling over our pictures!
We could not imagine going anywhere else for our special day and cannot thank their staff enough for their accommodations and hospitality that made our day so magical.

My husband and I had the most incredible experience working with Amanda and the Radisson crew! Our reception was more beautiful and amazing than we ever could have imagined or hoped for. Amanda is an AMAZING wedding coordinator, who loves her job and those she works with. She is there to help you with anything and everything - every step of the way. We couldn’t feel any more lucky to have had the opportunity to have her along our wedding planning journey. Along with Amanda, the entire staff throughout our entire reception were INCREDIBLE. From the bartenders, to the servers, to those who are always there to make sure you have eaten or have a drink in your hand. What an amazing crew, and an amazing venue. My husband (I get to say that now!!!!!!) and I HIGHLY recommend for everyone to check out the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in your wedding planning journey, you absolutely will not regret it.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Radisson in July 2019 and it exceeded our expectations! Being from separate regions of New York State, we searched for a venue that was centrally located, allowed for the ceremony and reception to be held at the same place, and offered enough accommodations for all of our guests. The Radisson not only checked all of our boxes but was beautiful and unique as well! We worked with Amanda, the venue's wedding coordinator, and from day one she made everything so easy. Amanda thought of every possible detail and made sure our wedding day went seamlessly. Amanda and the rest of the Radisson staff took care of just about everything on our big day, all we really had to do was show up! Additionally, working with Brian of the MCR Design Group through the Radisson was so great. Neither of us had very specific visions for our day but all we had to do was give Brian a couple of simple ideas and he did the rest -- the decorations were so beautiful! We cannot say enough good things about the Radisson and its staff, we are so happy with our decision to have our wedding there. Our day was perfect and our guests could not stop raving about how great everything was!!

We recently held our daughters wedding at the Radisson and what a great experience.. Amanda (catering specialist) was great, always there to ease my mind with the numerous questions I had since my daughter lives out of state... The Wedding was perfect from start to finish. The Ceremony, Cocktail Hour to the Reception were amazing. We still have guest telling us how great it was. The Hors d`oeuvres were outstanding...During the reception the entire staff were there to cater to every need of our guest. Continually asking if they can do anything to assist....If you are looking for the perfect Venue this is the place!!!!

I had my wedding at the Radisson in July of 2019. I cannot say enough about how amazing the experience was from beginning to end. Amanda, the wedding coordinator, was spectacular in every aspect, no question was too small or too silly to ask. It almost felt as if we were her only wedding! The level of service we received not only on the wedding day, but throughout the entire process was incredible. If you are even thinking of having your wedding at the Radisson, do yourself a favor and check it out! You will not be disappointed!

From the moment my partner and I walked into the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton, we knew it was the wedding venue we’d wanted. The grandeur of the of lobby, the rich history and timeless elegance of the venue were undeniable. We also loved the fact that our wedding guest were able to stay the venue which was so convenient and gave us as much time as possible with all our guest as a number had flown in from overseas and interstate. There was a change of wedding coordinators at the Radisson about six months after we signed our contract. At first I was a bit worried, but then I started corresponding with Amanda and instantly was put at ease. From the moment she came on board until the wedding day (and even after!) she was on top of every detail and made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. Mary was also absolutely lovely and just the sweetest and made sure my groom and I were well looked after during the entire reception and at breakfast the next morning. We received SO many compliments from our guest at how beautiful the venue was and how kind and responsive all the staff were. We had our welcome drinks in the Trax Bar the night before the wedding and then our cocktail hour in the Grand Lobby, reception in the Ballroom and wedding brunch on Sunday morning in the Platform lounge. Every moment of the wedding weekend was just fantastic. I cannot say enough great things about the Radisson and the staff, most especially Amanda- no question was too silly or task too much to ask of her- she was on top of every detail!

There are no words to describe the AMAZING work that they do at the Radisson. Amanda is a dream to work with and takes care of anything and everything you can imagine to make your wedding day exactly that, YOUR day. She is assisted by the BEST staff I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Every last staff member was beyond helpful and willing to go the extra mile for a guest request. All of our guests raved about the phenomenal service provided. The team at the Radisson works together so well and they have a great time doing it and it truly shows!

We were married at the Radisson this past June of 2019. I could not say enough good things about the wedding coordinator Amanda! She was on top of things at all times, which was extremely helpful since we were out town. Moreover she is just a nice person and easy to get along with, which is important given how often you will be in contact as your wedding approaches.
We had a smaller wedding (off site service) so we held our reception in the lobby, which was beautifully set up. Using the outdoor patio for our cocktail our was also a great touch guests appreciated. The one thing I would say is that it can get warm out there so if you have older family coming in make sure they have a spot indoors to fall back to depending on the time of year.
The food was also very good, people loved the appetizers and there are vegetarian and children's options that do not count in toward your main meal selections.
Overall our experience working with the Radisson really was positive. They were willing to work with us to make all our extra requests and ideas work where it was possible and very very flexible with adjusting hotel blocks as needed. I would highly recommend the site for anyone

Excellent experience from start, (when we first looked at the hotel) to finish. Amanda Depierro, the wedding specialist was outstanding. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. She said, "don't worry about anything, I'll handle it", and she did. Hotel was spotless Entire staff very friendly and attentive to everyone.

We could not have asked for a better venue. I am from Scranton, but live in Orlando now and they accommodated me in every way imaginable. Amanda, Mary, and the serving staff were amazing and so genuine. We didn't have to go to the bar once because they kept replacing our drinks! The food was outstanding and they literally made our dreams come true! Book them!!! You won't regret it!

The Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel was the perfect place for our dream wedding. Amanda was amazing to work with. She made every part of the planning process effortless. The cocktail hour in the lobby was gorgeous. The ballroom for the reception looked like something out of a dream. The food was delicious! Amanda even helped us plan an after party that surprised all our guests as well as a late night snack of Philly cheesesteaks. All our guests had a blast and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We had very high expectations and the Radisson and Amanda far exceeded them!!! Thank you for a day we will never forget!

From start to finish, the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel gave us such excellent, individualized service. Amanda and her team were absolutely amazing! She calmly and efficiently took care of all our wedding details, even though our communication was only through email and phone, as my husband and I live out of state. The day of the wedding we had a few hiccups with a few of our other vendors which would have impacted the reception, but Amanda took care of the issues and made sure everything ran smoothly. The service from the staff was amazing as well; the food was great and the whole night just flowed perfectly. Our family kept talking about how beautiful the Radisson was. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding. If you're looking for a venue in the Scranton area, definitely choose the Radisson; Amanda and her team won't let you down!
Thank you Amanda for everything! Jeff and I had an amazing time :D

From day 1 of wedding planning, I knew I wanted the reception and hotel at the same location. I also knew that, even though I’m from Maryland, my family is mostly in Scranton/Avoca, so I was going to have my wedding in the area. My parents had their reception at the Lackawanna Radisson back in the 80s, so I decided to check it out. It was PERFECT!!! Everyone was super friendly from the beginning and, on the big day, we felt like royalty. All of our guests noted the incredible service they received from checking in to cocktail hour to the reception to the after party. It was SO NICE being surrounded by helpful, happy people on such an eventful evening!
The food.... absolutely delicious. My only regret was not eating more! We received so many compliments on the food from our guests. It did not taste like typical wedding food. It was more like eating at a fancy restaurant. Everything came out on time and nobody left hungry.
Amanda DiPierro. I would be lost without her. I still can’t believe how lucky we were to have such an organized, driven, on-top-of-it-all planner. She was extremely responsive from the beginning and never missed an email or call throughout the planning process (and I had a lot of questions all the time). On the day of, I felt so at ease because I knew she was there, triaging any problem that may have come up so that I didn’t get stressed. I’m sure I don’t even know half of what she dealt with on the big day. She transitioned from interacting with me (the bride), families, vendors, guests, staff, etc. with such ease and professionalism. There are not enough words to thank Amanda for everything she did.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Radisson in May, 2019. As soon as we got engaged, I knew right away that I wanted to look at the Radisson for our venue. Once I walked through the front doors, I fell in love with how beautiful the lobby was! When I left my initial meeting, I cancelled all other venue appointments I had. The Radisson had everything we were looking for and the staff was so welcoming and professional. The wedding specialist, Amanda, was fantastic to work with. Whenever I had a question or concern, she was always prompt to answer and help with everything! She made the planning process smoother than I ever could have imagined. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed since she was so organized and attentive. On the day of the wedding, she was always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, and most importantly, made sure my husband and I took time to actually eat at cocktail hour! We had the ceremony in the lobby and Amanda and Mary worked together to make sure the timing of everything was perfect. The entire staff at the Radisson was exceptional and made our wedding day so special. Words can’t describe how happy we are with how everything turned out!

Absolutely fantastic! Their wedding coordinator and entire staff did everything to make sure that our day was exactly what we wanted it to be. The coordinator also offered suggestions and ideas when we weren't 100% sure of what to do. Everyone was very attentive and our guests really enjoyed themselves. Food is amazing and if you don't want something, you can always switch it for something else. Would absolutely recommend having a reception here. And it's very convenient because our hotel room was right upstairs! If your having a Saturday wedding, brunch the next day is also a great add on.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Radisson in April 2019 and could not be happier with the entire experience. We are not local to the Scranton area, so we also held our rehearsal dinner and an after-wedding brunch there as well. Everything was just perfectly done. Amanda, Mary, and the entire staff were exceedingly nice and helpful. We felt completely taken care of and everyone who works there seemed genuinely happy for us.
In addition to the wonderful staff, the building itself is gorgeous and makes for the most amazing pictures. The food is also excellent- all of our guests raved about their meals.
We highly recommend the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel if you are looking to get married in this area or want a historical building to get married in. We wanted the latter, and are thrilled that we made Scranton the place for our "destination" wedding.

From the moment we met Amanda, we knew we would be in good hands! She had Mallory and Matt's back from the moment we booked until the last good bye! She made sure they ate, she made sure our glasses were never empty. She touched base with all of our venders. When we had trouble finding an acceptable DJ and photographer, she put us on the right track. She has more energy than the Energizer bunny and no one knows the wedding industry better than her! She did everything humanly possible to make sure things went without a hitch. But not everything could be in her control. When an important part of Mallory's ensemble went missing, Amanda fixed it. When the rings got left at the hotel and the ceremony was about to start, Amanda fixed it. There is absolutely nothing she can't fix. As for the hotel itself, it was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and each staff member I passed in the corridors offered a friendly hello and offer of assistance. All of the food was superb from the breakfast buffet Saturday morning ( this staff was also top shelf) to the hors d'oeuvres in the atrium to the dessert at the reception. This was the first time I ever experienced wait staff staying with the tables after dinner was served. They went to get drinks so that the guests could continue visiting with people they hadn't seen in a long while. There is not one thing that I can say was even average. Everyone went above and beyond my expectations and I was expecting alot!

My fiance and I had the most incredible experience working with the Radisson for our wedding. I could not be happier. They made everything simple, easy, and SUPER low stress (crazy for a wedding, right??). I had the privilege of working with two wonderful women, Amanda and Mary, who were 100% invested in our event going off without a hitch-- and there were zero hitches to be found, thanks to them. Thank you so much, Radisson! I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a unique space with lots of history and an incredibly helpful and amazing staff.

The second we got engaged I knew I wanted our reception to be at the Radisson! We switched coordinators halfway through planning which couldve been very stressful but Amanda is AMAZING - love her so much. She answered my billion questions a week and was honestly the greatest person to work with. Obsessed.
Everything ran so smoothly - even when my bustle fell right before we entered the reception and Amanda was there to super quickly get it back into place! Everyone was amazing to work with - the food was AMAZING, we received so many compliments!
So glad we chose the Radisson for our wedding and that we got to work with Amanda - honestly miss annoying her every week with my ramblings:)

I have always loved the Radisson. I think it is absolutely beautiful and I enjoy the history behind it. I have been to birthdays, anniversary parties, and brunch there. It was my dream since I was a teenager to have my wedding here. Funny enough, my wedding was the first wedding I attended at the Radisson. It did not disappoint! My day was wonderful, went exactly as planned, and everyone who attended enjoyed the food. There was a tiny hiccup at one point of the reception, but Amanda, the wedding coordinator, fixed it immediately. All she had to do was see the look on my face! I loved the feeling that the staff would bend over backwards to make me happy. I had everything I wanted on my special day! We were given a jacuzzi suite for our wedding night. (It was nice to soak after a long day!) The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. I also had my Bridal Shower here, which was equally as excellent. I highly recommend!

My husband and I got married at the Radisson Lackawanna Station on January 12, 2019. Our wedding turned out better than I ever could have imagined. For starters, the venue is beautiful. If you want a unique venue with history, Radisson is the place to get married. Our ceremony and cocktail reception both took place in the lobby/atrium, with our reception taking place down the hall in the grand ballroom. In planning a winter wedding, it was a relief to have everything take place at the hotel while not feeling like we were on top of our guests the entire time. The wedding staff was absolutely tremendous, not only did they make sure that my husband and I had everything that we needed, but they also took such great care of our bridal party and parents as well. I can not give enough praise to the person who helped make all of it possible, our coordinator Amanda. She was brought onto our wedding a few months after we booked the venue - within days she had reached out to us to get brought up to speed and was meeting us for our food tasting. From that moment, I realized I could not imagine planning our wedding with anyone else – she is beyond knowledgeable, attentive, responsive and professional and she truly helped make our wedding day so special.

The Radisson did an excellent job for my winter wonderland wedding. The food was excellent! I was assigned a wedding specialist that coordinated all vendors for my special day! All staff worked together to assure that my wedding was perfect . The Radisson can offer amenities that other venues cannot. We had the ceremony on site, our guests stayed overnight and we continued the celebration with brunch on Sunday!

I would highly recommend the Radisson for your wedding venue. My daughter's wedding was held at the Radisson on 12/22/18 and we had the most amazing time. The ceremony and cocktail hour in the lobby was so beautiful and the ballroom where the reception was held was equally as beautiful. The food was delicious and the event exceeded our expectations.
Most of all, the Radisson has the most amazing staff. Amanda was incredible to work with and helped us through every step of the planning. In addition, many of our guests stayed at the Radisson and enjoyed their great service and beautiful rooms.
You cannot go wrong by choosing the Radisson as your wedding venue. You will be very happy you did.

My husband and I were married at the Radisson Lackawanna Station on December 1, 2018! We began working with the Radisson in April 2017, and had the most wonderful experience with the hotel and staff from start to finish! Our wedding coordinator at the Radisson was Amanda DiPierro. Amanda was so incredibly kind and helpful throughout our entire planning process. Amanda was always quick to respond my any questions or concerns we had, and was so incredibly organized and reliable! Amanda went above and beyond to meet all our needs, making our wedding night the most incredible night of our lives! It is not easy for me to give up control, but knowing everything was in Amanda’s hands put my mind at ease. She worked tirelessly to make sure everything was as perfect as it could be! I would highly recommend the Radisson (and Amanda) for all your wedding needs!! It was truly the best day of our lives!

Would give the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel 10 stars if we could. We just held our wedding there on November 10, 2018 and it was better than we ever could have imagined. Amanda worked tirelessly to make our day everything we dreamed of and it was absolutely perfect. They were wonderful from the room block, to the food tasting, and all the little details in between. Booking our wedding at the Radisson is one of the best decisions we have made and we would recommend it to anyone.

Our wedding at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel was everything we could have imagined! A big big thank you to Amanda, Mary and the entire banquet team for making our wedding dreams a reality! My best advice for all future Radisson brides is "dont sweat the small stuff" and let your wedding team take your worries away! Our entire day went off without a hitch. The food was delicious and the party was bumping! The hotel even had a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us in our newly wed suite, such a nice touch that really made us feel so special!

I just had my wedding on September 30th at the BEAUTIFUL Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel. I could not have imagined my wedding at any other venue. The building itself is absolutely stunning - especially the lobby, which you can use for your ceremony. We had our reception in the ballroom which was just as beautiful with crystal chandeliers and draping on the ceiling. I also got TONS of compliments on the food. But the real magic is their team - from the events coordinators to the servers and bartenders, everyone was SO helpful, friendly and accommodating. Mary was the coordinator for my wedding and she was seriously on top of everything, coming up to me wherever I was in the reception probably every hour asking me if I needed a drink or some food. Not to mention they made the ballroom look amazing for me adding their own touches with my candles and centerpieces. I seriously can’t thank the team at the Radisson enough. They made my wedding absolutely perfect.

We had our wedding at the Radisson Lackawanna on August 25, 2018 and it was everything we had hoped for. The staff (namely Courtney, Amanda, and Mary) were very helpful and professional and made the planning process so easy. Everything was set up beautifully the day of and everything ran very smoothly thanks to the entire staff.
The venue itself is stunning and rich with history and our guests loved it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, beautiful location with great staff.

I cannot say enough good things about the team at the Radisson. They went through some staffing changes throughout my planning process but never once did I feel out of the loop or confused on who my go-to person was. Everyone who I worked with from beginning to end handled everything with such kindness and professionalism, even in dealing with my one-off questions throughout the day. Everything was taken care of on wedding day and flowed smoothly, and if it didn't I wouldn't have known otherwise. The reception space was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and I am so thankful to the team at the Radisson for making our wedding day so truly special.

The Radisson was better than we could have expected. We chose this venue because we thought it was so cool that it was an old train station converted into a hotel- and we chose to have our wedding ceremony in the lobby, cocktail hour in the lounge, and the reception in the ballroom. It was amazing and safe for our guests that they did not have to travel throughout the night. The venue was just beautiful. The best part overall was the staff- they took such great care of my now husband and I, as well as our families. In the days before the wedding, the Radisson's wedding coordinator helped us with just about everything- from setting up last minute things we forgot to contacting our other vendors with problems so I didn't have to. The night of the wedding staff constantly asked if we needed anything and were truly fantastic to our families. The hotel itself is clean and renovated well. The food, drinks, and dessert were all delicious. Everything was perfect.
TLDR; if you are unsure about the Radisson- go for it!!! It was the best choice we made regarding our wedding.

This past weekend we had my sons wedding at the Radisson at Lackawanna station. I should preface this by saying that I do a good many high end events for both charity and personal reasons and have very high standards for both. I knew that the venue was a beautiful setting for a wedding however I want certain as to the quality of the food as my children selected some very sophisticated hors d’oeuvres and menu.
Let me just say that I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and the presentation was beautiful. The staff, starting with Courtney our wedding liaison and Mary who oversaw the evening events, were amazing. They handled every detail and request made with care and professionalism. The wait staff and the bar tender were also extremely professional. The wait staff went above and beyond to insure that the bride and groom as well as all of the guests were accommodated. They asked if people needed beverages during dinner as well as help some guests bring dishes to their tables.
I could not recommend a venue more highly. I am also envolved in a huge fundraiser that we are having their this friday night and can say with confidence that it will also be spectacular.
