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/Avoc...a, 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.
