We very recently got married at The Bond and our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Annie stepped in to take over our day from another coordinator and from the minute we began working with her, we knew we were in the right care. We've received rave reviews about our food as well as the venue itself and it was perfect for our winter wedding. As the bride, it was awesome to see it come to life from start to finish as I was in the venue as all the vendors and servers arrived. We also loved having a server dedicated to us; she had our drinks ready as soon as we walked down the aisle and would even come onto the dance floor to switch out our drinks. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. She continued to offer us appetizers as we mingled with our guests during cocktail hour and had them set up at our head table waiting for us as we came into dinner. I cannot say enough about how smoothly and perfectly our day went. We had the absolute best day, which is exactly how you want to feel about a day that you put so much time and effort into planning. No detail was missed, and all of the guests have commented on how amazing it all was. Annie made sure that every detail, big and small, was handled.
What an exceptional experience we had working with the Bond and Alyssa. The venue is beautiful and right in the city walkable to hotels and other places. The getting ready spaces were perfect. I can’t say enough how wonderful it was! Thank you for making our wedding the best!
The Bond is the most stunning venue in the area. When my husband and I toured the venue, we were already planning where things are going to go! We just knew it was the venue for us. They work exclusively with JDK Catering, which is an entire other ball game. (Go check out my review there for a more detailed review!) The venue is also a 5 minute walk to the Yorktowne Hotel where my husband and I stayed both the night before and the night of our wedding. Great hotel, and it is perfect for out of town guests! This way they don’t need to get an Uber on top of paying for a hotel room or worrying about getting home/having a DD.
Any questions?
We had the pleasure of working with JDK for multiple aspects of our wedding day, including catering at our venue, The Bond! This modern industrial-style venue is absolutely beautiful and is exactly the vibe that we were envisioning for our special day. Andrea did a wonderful job planning with us to help make our day perfect. Her and her team made sure everything ran smoothly and ensured that we did not have to worry about anything. Being able to plan venue/catering/floral all with JDK made everything so seamless and it was incredible to see how everything came together in the space - it was more beautiful than we could’ve even imagined! We absolutely loved having a server dedicated to us; she had drinks ready for us at all times and ensured that we were getting appetizers as we mingled. We also LOVED that we were able to add personal elements to our day with the help of JDK and their team - late night pizza, a cookie table, etc. The food was wonderful, the space was beautiful, and the team made us feel so special.
My wife and I got married April 13th and it was absolutely amazing at The Bond, everything turned out perfect. The outdoor areas was perfect for a ceremony, the feel of downtown York and the look of The Bond itself were exactly what we were going for.
We got married at the bond the first weekend of May and EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. I couldn’t not recommend this place or the JDK team more. Everything was perfect. Andrea and the rest of the team made sure everything ran smoothly and helped the through the entire planning process. Not mention the food was absolutely FANTASTIC! My guests were so blown away at how beautiful everything was. I wish i could relive this day over and over again. Thank you so much the everyone at the bond/The JDK group for everything.
My husband and I had a fantastic experience having our wedding at The Bond. The entire process of wedding planning and detail coordination went smoothly from start to finish. The biggest highlight this venue offers which we didn't see coming is AMAZING day of staff! The waiters, bartenders, coordinators, kitchen staff and more were extremely friendly, willing to help with anything we needed, excited for our wedding day, and seemed to enjoy being there with us. It really added to our wedding day because it was not just another day at work for them. They were laughing and dancing along to the reception music by the end of the night. Awesome experience that we didn't expect but now it is a memory we treasure from our wedding day!
Our wedding was the day of our dreams and The Bond staff made that a reality. We are so thankful for everyone who helped our day be perfect!
We had our wedding on 09/16/2023 at The Bond. We were in search for a modern wedding venue that wasn't a barn or a hotel banquet hall. We had visited several venues before The Bond but nothing felt right until our tour here with Alyssa. The Bond and The JDK Group offer so much and are willing to give you price ranges from day one before even committing, while other venues we toured all ranged based on other things that were TBD. This group was amazing to work with and all of their staff was very professional and personable. Alyssa was amazing from day one. She made us both feel so comfortable and at ease with the stress of wedding planning. She gave her honest opinions on things when we asked her to, but did not give judgement towards any of our decisions/choices. She was up front with us about everything and helped us through lots of different floor plan, linen, food, etc. options. The Bond itself is such a unique venue with so much opportunity to make your day special and unique. The venue offers such great options for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. We utilized the outside area for cocktail hour which our guests raved about. All of our guests also raved about the food and service they all received from everyone. Our 150 guests had plenty of room while eating and also dancing with the large floor plan this venue offers. The venue also offers so many different photo opportunities that make it great from different backgrounds throughout the different lightings of the day. The venue is conveniently located with handicap accessibility and ample parking, which was wonderful. It is so close to there newly renovated Yorktowne hotel which was great accommodations for our out of town guests. Overall The Bond was such a great venue and the team at JDK was amazing to work with, especially Alyssa. We could not have asked for a better group of staff or venue to help make our day so special. Definitely recommend looking into this wedding venue and all it has to offer!!
If you're searching for an industrial-style venue in Central PA, this is definitely the venue to book! The inside is beautiful in and of itself, so you don't even need many decorations to make the space look put together. I had a winter wedding, so the soft lighting was perfect for the vibe I was going for. The bridal suite was also really convenient for me and my crew to get ready the morning of the wedding.
The food tasting through JDK (The Bond's exclusive caterer) was a wonderful date-night experience, and a lot of my guests complimented me on how good the wedding meal was. The service was also great, with the lead server making sure that my husband and I were taken care of all night long.
My planner, Alyssa, was quite the professional. Unfortunately, there was a mishap with my linens not showing up on time, but she handled this like a pro and found a quick solution and refunded us the linen rental money. I was extremely pleased with the professionalism and level of service.
When looking for our wedding venue, we wanted something that was not a barn, and not a hotel ballroom. This left us with a smattering of historic buildings and a few repurposed industrial venue spaces, and the absolute gem that is The Bond in our search area. After our initial tour of The Bond with Alyssa, we still visited a few other venues, but after sitting down to dinner each time, we both ended up saying “... but it’s not The Bond. I like The Bond better.”
The Bond is an exceptional space. The industrial glam structure flexes to fit many decor styles, but we definitely attempted to incorporate the building’s and the King Square Garden’s character into our wedding day. The entire process was fairly painless, and Alyssa supported us throughout the process. JDK catering earned many compliments from our guests and other vendors as well as ourselves; the food is a step above meals we have had at other weddings. I have several significant dietary restrictions in my family, including cross-contamination sensitive individuals with Celiac disease. The chef and catering staff worked with me to sub ingredients to ensure everyone could safely eat. The day-of-coordinator, Sydney, was also helpful throughout the event and handled any concerns we had. We also wanted to give a shout out to the bartending staff, who handled our signature cocktails, beer and wine selection, and NA options with ease. The day of the wedding, we were assigned a member of the JDK catering team (Sandy) who ensured that we always had our preferred drink of the moment in our hands, and she even held our drinks during photos if needed. She also made sure we got to try all of the hor d'oeuvres that we had selected. We love Sandy!
Last but most certainly not least, Alyssa B. is a shining star to work with when it comes to support for planning your wedding. She was engaged, listened to our ideas, and worked to help take the loose vision in our heads to reality on our wedding day. She was easy to communicate with and to get a hold of when we needed, and ensured any and all concerns were addressed on every front, from catering to filler decor to logistics for bringing in our (450 bite-size) desserts and alcohol. We could not have pulled it off without her.
Our daughter was married at The Bond in October of 2022. We totally enjoyed working with our event coordinator Lexi. She was pleasant, thorough and carried out all the small details to perfection. We love the industrial vibe of the space and the fabulous outdoor area. This is definitely a great space to host an affair that will be memorable for all who attend!
We had an amazing experience at the Bond! We live in Philadelphia and wanted a venue with an industrial/modern vibe and the Bond was the venue that really caught our attention. From the beginning, they were responsive and amazing to work with. We had a blast at JDK’s (the Bond’s caterer’s) group tasting and we’re BLOWN AWAY with the food and service. At our wedding, we used the Bond’s new outdoor space as our cocktail space and it was gorgeous. The indoor space was everything we could have hoped for. This is THE choice for venue!!
Colton and his team did an AMAZING job with our wedding florals at The Bond in York, PA - the pops of color and touches of boho, all within a moody and romantic palette, was executed perfectly. I definitely wanted some color brought to the gray industrial space, with but with a relaxed elegance. We really couldn't be happier with the tone the florals set in the reception space. Our ceremony florals were equally as gorgeous, delivered to St. Joseph's in York, PA. I planned my wedding from afar, and Colton was so easy to work with - spot on, very professional, and the florals/design was affordable. Our JDK venue coordinator, Lexi, was incredibly helpful after a staffing transition - she swooped in about two months before the wedding and helped place the finishing touches on our design, including finalizing our linen colors, ordering chargers and velvet napkins. It was so helpful to have JDK handle those rentals instead of outsourcing another vendor myself. Lexi was thorough and made sure our personal decor was set up perfectly at the venue. Our ceremony was offsite, so it was such a relief to arrive at The Bond and have everything set up and looking gorgeous. I finally want to note that the food is fantastic - our guests are still raving about the brussel sprout lollipop butlered hors d'oeuvres, the handmade guacamole station at cocktail hour, and our margarita signature cocktail. The venue, food and esthetic did not disappoint! Highly recommend JDK Catering and Weddings by JDK for your wedding at The Bond or elsewhere!
We had our baby shower at The Bond, and the venue was perfect! The place was gorgeous and had the perfect vibe to bring our vision to life. The facilities were spacious and well-maintained. I would 100% recommend having your event whether it be a shower, wedding, or anything else here!
We hosted our son's baby shower at The Bond in July, and it was absolutely perfect! I was a spacious venue that allowed for a free-flowing event! All attendees felt comfortable and relaxed in this downtown venue! I would recommend this for your next birthday party, mitzvah or shower, this space is more than just for weddings!
We had our ceremony in the outdoor garden area and it was so beautiful, then we had the reception inside. Everything went great, the food and staff were amazing, and the venue was so cool. We got compliments on it all night.
I am still talking about our day like it was yesterday. EVERYTHING was so amazing. The staff, the food, the building itself. Everyone treated me like a QUEEN and they did such an amazing job working with us to ensure our day went off without a hitch. Through the entire process, start to finish. Even when we were late to meetings, everyone was still patient and kind. I would use this venue for all of my future events but my wedding here was even better than I imagined. I would recommend The Bond to everyone.
We were married at The Bond on 11/13. From the moment we toured the place with Abby, it was ours. Abby really sold us on the venue and we worked with her for well over a year. In the midst of the pandemic, she handled the work well and always remained professional and dedicated. It was a pleasure to work with her! It is a unique venue with beautiful details! I like to say it's "Brooklyn vibes but not Brooklyn prices". If you know, you know. The space can be decorated in many ways and can fit many different visions. The area around The Bond is magical! There's parking, absolutely breathtaking murals, and cute shops. This venue really photographs well. The bridal suite, gentleman's room, and bathrooms were suitable. It really is a great space to make fantastic memories!
We had our wedding at JDK’s location, The Bond, and it was nothing short of amazing. It was everything we could have wanted for our wedding day!! From our initial tour of the venue with Alanna, we knew we were in good hands working with the folks at JDK, everyone was so nice and welcoming and made us feel special! Emma was our appointed contact and she was awesome!!! She helped guide us through every step of our planning process and kept great communication throughout our months leading up to the big day. Our wedding day, I’m still speechless with how seamless and professional the entire JDK group is. Everything was so stress free for me as a bride, I could focus on my hair and makeup and photos all while JDK is setting everything you’ve been imaging all in the background almost without a peep - and it was exactly everything we had talked about that came to life. Everyone definitely knew what they were doing and we were in really good hands. We were able to enjoy every second of our wedding with no hiccups. If we had to do our wedding all over again we’d def go with JDK again and recommend them for any couple that’s looking for a great team of people to help make your special day a dream come true.
Steve and I struggled when we started planning the wedding. It seemed impossible to find a venue in central PA that wasn’t a barn. Nothing seemed to fit us or our style, until we discovered The Bond. We had no idea a concrete building could be so beautiful.
What we loved the most was that it’s completely within the JDK family which comforted us beyond belief that it was just another day to the entire staff - who btw are all stars. Abby was with us through the pandemic, had countless ideas and made every accommodation for us.
On the day, the Bond was transformed into a moody, magical, romantic venue. We felt like royalty and had ZERO worries or stress points because the staff was SO kind, so organized, and the food was sooooo good.
The Bond created the perfect environment for our wedding day! They took care of all the small details which meant a stress free day for the bride and groom! The food was delicious and the staff is amazing!!
We had the best wedding on 9/18/21. The Bond was the perfect venue. We loved the location, being located downtown surrounded by all of the great murals York has. The on site overnight parking was great so our guests didn't need to worry about being towed. The venue itself was beautiful. The JDK team did an amazing job putting all of the decorations together for us that matched our style perfectly. We had access to the building all morning so we could get ready there and watch everything come together. The staff were amazing and catered to us throughout the whole day.
Our coordinator was Molly Unangst. She was great at communicating with us during the whole process. We booked the venue in June 2020 so we did a lot of zoom meetings in the beginning and then in person meetings towards the end. Molly was helpful at every step and answered all of our questions. She went above and beyond on the day of the wedding. We ran out of rum during our cocktail hour and she personally ran to the liquor store to get us more.
If I had to have one drawback to The Bond, it would be the smaller room, the "Grooms" room, to get ready in was pretty tight.
We were smitten with The Bond almost immediately upon seeing it and we had a great first impression of the staff and potential of the space. The Pandemic, unfortunately, brought about a series of staff turnovers, but JDK was always transparent, respectful, and communicative about any changes. We had the greatest privilege of working with Emma Santana at the end, and we could not have asked for a more genuine, intelligent, sweet, and tactful Venue Coordinator. Emma was there to reassure us every step of the way that we would get the wedding of our dreams. We had to postpone three times because we kept getting our hopes up and let down with each new severe state regulation. However, Emma represented not only professionalism for JDK but also our best interests. She was responsive and efficient with all requests, inquiries, and details. When the day finally arrived this past October, we were happy to have her present and our day went off without a hitch. The food was definitely one of the reasons we were interested in commuting 2 hours from our residence, and boy-oh-boy, they knocked it out of the park in both the tasting and the special day. The Chef also kindly accommodated our interest in showcasing a few Brasilian appetizers and late night snacks which were made incredibly well. We had great bartenders who also mastered the Old Fashioneds and Caipirinhas. We loved that this was a BYOB venue so we could bring diverse drinks. On that note, also, JDK and Emma are so passionate about their field and treated us exceptionally well, permitting us to be both creative, theatrical, and minimalist in our decors and dress attire, never once judging our nontraditional selections. A bonus is how our Coordinator, Miss Lyss Planning, also worked well with them and synchronicity was important for us. We wholeheartedly recommend The Bond for a unique, industrial venue and there aren’t enough words in the dictionary to praise Emma and JDK for their exemplary service. As the bride writing this review for both my husband and I, Emma was so outstanding to me, on a personal note, and it was such a joy to speak to her each and everytime. She is so skillful— I truly felt like I was her only client at times because that’s how much attention she offered to me. Her compassion during one of the most frustrating epochs during our life was bar-none. We are sad that we won’t have a chance to work with them again but we wish them continued excellence and hope to cross paths again in the future.
The Bond is an absolutely BREATHTAKING venue & exactly what I was looking for when I was trying to find the perfect industrial venue. The space is perfect for any size wedding and easy for guests to navigate around! You also get MORE out of the venue with all of the beautiful murals in the surrounding area. Besides what you can easily see - working with The Bond/JDK Team was nothing short of a phenomenal experience. Emma is an absolute ANGEL jumping in as our coordinator right as things started to re-open and right from the start she was completely on top of everything. I know how crazy busy the wedding industry is right now but Emma made me feel like the most important bride every time we spoke. She listened to every detail and made sure to keep in constant communication on her end. Emma we will forever be grateful for all of your hard work and dedication to our wedding day & making it the most PERFECT day ever!! We also have to give a shoutout to Jamie & Sam from JDK! I met with Jamie for our final details meeting and she & Sam helped run our rehearsal. They were the sweetest gals to work with and the same thing as Emma made us feel like we were the most important couple in the moment, giving us 100% of their energy to help pull off our vision. Jamie even texted me one week out just to say happy wedding week! Sam was there setting up when we arrived and made sure to take care of absolutely everything and helped Danielle, our coordinator, make everything look perfect. I will never be able to thank them enough for everything they did! And the service/FOOD OH.MY.GOODNESS.....I am drooling at the memory of our wedding food. I don't think there was/is ONE person who could say anything but amazing things about dinner. The consistent line we keep hearing is "that was the best wedding food I've ever eaten...not even just wedding food...FOOD in general!!" If you’re considering The Bond and/or JDK for your wedding day we 10000000%+ say that is the best choice you can make!! oxox
Had the most amazing intimate micro wedding at the Bond back in August 2021. I was pretty picky about how I wanted floral and set up and Colton KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. It was picture perfect. We are still getting guest feedback about how elegant and unique the space was and how amazing all of the staff was. Also guests repeatably told us how amazing the food was. My cousin was convinced it was the best wedding food he's ever had. Cannot recommend enough. We absolutely loved the venue and staff.
My husband and I married on 2/22/20 at The Bond. We had our catering through JDK and the food was AMAZING, the best wedding food I have ever had. That comment has also been repeated by our guests.
We had our floral done through JDK by Colton as well, and again beautiful. Every space in the venue was touched with magic and was beautiful.
Our venue coordinator changed last minute due to staffing changes which was incredibly stressful. However, our new coordinator Molly came with her boss Abby and Colton the very next day and new our wedding plans better than we did all a week before our wedding. The entire night went flawlessly.
There are details that were thought of by JDK that could not have come across my Pinterest crazy controlling bride brain! I had a staff member Juliana following me around with food and drinks during cocktail hour and pictures. She made me feel like a princess. Also, every single staff member at our venue spoke to me. Anytime a staff member passed by my husband and I they would say something encouraging or offer help. While my family was busy partying the big boss was helping me bustle my dress; and she was happy to do it.
The Bond itself is a blank industrial chic canvas and should be considered highly for any bride and groom to get married in. It is easy with the bridal suits, cocktail area, ceremony spot, and reception space. One stop shop with JDK.
10/10 recommend
My husband and I visited 8 venues in the York, Lancaster, and Harrisburg area. The Bond was our last stop, we definitely saved the best for last! We immediately fell in love with the venue and not just because it is a beautiful space but also because of Megan Sellers, the venue specialist. It was immediately apparent that she put more effort into her couples than any other venue specialist. She listened, asked questions, took copious notes, and was honest. Megan went above and beyond to help us customize our packages and pricing. She was very responsive and organized throughout the planning process. Leading up to the big day, we had a family emergency which lead to last minute changes. Megan not only jumped in to help us figure out the details but also was very compassionate. The Bond is lucky to have her representing the organization. You will be hard pressed to find someone that will take better care of you on your wedding day. Also, the serving staff and bartenders were outstanding. They were respectful, attentive, and moved quickly in the background to ensure our guests had an amazing time. The food experience at the Bond/JDK was also phenomenal. They offer so many great options at great prices. They even customized hors d’oeuvres so we’d have our favorite food on our wedding day. So many of our guests told us that this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The Bond is completely indoors, however the murals in the surrounding area give you ample locations for beautiful outdoor photos. All of our expectations were surpassed by the Bond, Megan, and JDK. We truly couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding day.
As soon as my fiancé and I walked into The Bond on a tour, we were immediately sold. The unique, industrial space and the murals in the surrounding alleyways were like nothing we have ever seen before! We met with Megan, the venue coordinator, several times before the big day and we can’t say enough good things about her. She kept us calm throughout the entire process and ensured everything would work out. She kept track of every detail we mentioned and was super flexible with any request we suggested. JDK (caterer for the venue) provided so many unique pieces of decor and we received so many compliments on the food! They completely transformed the wedding space even beyond my expectations. We would 100% recommend The Bond to anyone looking for a unique wedding venue that goes above and beyond for their clients!
We are so happy with our entire experience with working with The Bond & JDK. They made the whole wedding planning process so much easier from the start - with meeting with us for planning sessions and most importantly everything they did the day of! So happy we went with The Bond as our venue!
Great venue!! If you are looking for a trendy location for your wedding definitely check out this venue. My sister was married here in September and everyone was raving about this place. The ceremony and reception can all be held at this location. The service and staff were amazing. Megan was my sisters wedding coordinator And she was great to work with. She was organized and calm the day of the wedding and really made it easy on my sister. I can’t say enough good things about this venue.
I never write reviews but in the case of the Bond and its staff I will make this exception. They all were first class feom start to finish. JDK, thier caterer, provided excellent food and the wait staff followed my wife and I around the entire night making sure we had anything we needed. The place has such a great atmosphere and our guests still cant stop talking about to this day. Thank you Megan and all of your staff for such a great day. I cant recommend The Bond enough.
I can’t say enough fabulous things about how amazing our wedding was and it was largely due to Megan and the JDK catering group.
My sister found this wedding venue, it was the only one we looked at and said yes immediately! I loved the industrial vibe it’s so different from any other wedding I had ever been to. The alley area next to the bond has several really cool murals that made our wedding pictures absolutely amazing! Our photographers loved the venue too and our photos turned out beautifully!
We opted for no sit down dinner and did stations instead which gave people the option of choosing what they wanted to eat and everyone could eat at the same time and sit wherever they wanted. All of our guests commented on how good the food was (we did sliders, tacos, French fry and onion ring station) I highly recommend the chicken and waffles appetizer, it was a crowd favorite. The staff could not have been better, everyone was friendly and professional.
Honestly you can’t go wrong with this venue, your guests show up at one venue for ceremony and reception, there are amazing photo opportunities, and you’ll love the food! I also must give a shout out to Megan who was always available to answer questions, couldn’t have been more accommodating, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She even gave us a congratulations card that thanked us for choosing their venue! My husband is born and raised on Long Island and most of our guests traveled and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how cool and fun our wedding was. All of the vendors Megan suggested were fabulous and multiple people asked about the decor and flower arrangements which was all done by Megan and Colton (who Megan recommend, he also works with JDK catering and I would highly recommend)! Thanks to Megan and the JDK catering crew our wedding was hands down the best wedding ever!
I wanted to say thank you to The Bond for making our day so special!
I had toured several places and looked at so many venues online and then I came across The Bond. I, and then we, both fell in love with the look and feel of the venue from the pictures on their website. Then it was 100% confirmed when I met with the venue specialist, Megan, and toured the venue. Megan was amazing. She took us through what most couples do on the day of, the services they offered and embraced many of our own ideas. During the months prior to the wedding, a small panic occurred here and there, but Megan was always able to put our minds at ease. All my questions, and my Mothers, were quickly responded to by phone or email and she was always willing to give helpful and friendly advice for whatever we needed.
When the actual day finally arrived, I was blown away, not only by our ideas coming to fruition but all the additional décor that was provided by The Bond at no charge. Typically you get to rent a building and everything else is on you… not with The Bond.
People often ask us… what was the best part about our wedding day? For us, the best part about the day was that we didn’t worry about anything. Megan worked very closely with the vendors and the coordination she has with her staff was flawless. Every last detail was perfect and honestly (as far as we knew) there was not one little hiccup!
We highly recommend The Bond. The venue is stunning, the food was so good and the most important was the personal touch and devotion, by Megan and the staff, to making our day as incredible as it could be. They did a phenomenal job in making our day perfect. Job well done. We can’t thank you enough!
We got married on October 4, 2019, at the Bond, and we had an incredible experience from the planning to our actual wedding. Megan, Venue Specialist, worked with our planner to make our wedding more than we could have ever imagined. We live in Baltimore, but it was worth the drive to the Bond! The food with JDK is great and the menu is customizable. They even allowed us to include our 13-year old Pomeranian in our ceremony. The staff who worked at our wedding were also super friendly and accommodating with our guests. Without hesitation, I will happily recommend going with Bond for your upcoming wedding or event!
We just had our wedding this past weekend on 10-26-19. We couldn’t have been happier with the way everything turned out. Megan (The Venue Coordinator) was so great to work with, she was attentive and very responsive to all our questions and concerns. She could not have made the wedding planning process any smoother. The day of Megan handled everything beautifully. She added additional design elements so in tune with our overall theme, it complemented and enhanced our vision. Our guests could not stop raving about the food from JDK catering. Countless guests came up to say this was the best wedding food they have ever had! The Bond truly was the best venue for us and we could not be happier we chose it!
The wedding venue “The Bond” located in York Pennsylvania is absolutely amazing!!
My daughter absolutely loved this space over all the venues we toured in the local area (Harrisburg, Hershey, York and Lancaster). She was looking for a more modern-artsy feel vs. the barn or ballroom. Cost is always a factor when planning a wedding and at one point we really thought we weren’t going to be able to make it happen.
Well, it happened, July 13, 2019 my daughter wed the man of her dreams and had an absolutely stunning wedding at the Bond.
I owe all the thanks to Megan Sellers who is the most amazing Venue Specialist and JDK Catering who makes the most phenomenal food! Having had some experience at wedding planning and décor myself, we did provide many of the decorations… but wait…I was absolutely blown away the day of the wedding…JDK also supplied additional decorations, candles, florals, uplifts to create an amazing and modern look on the food stations and other areas that needed a little sprucing up! Topping that they even matched all the food signage to the wedding colors. Megan, not just another pretty face, worked diligently, as did all the JDK staff, setting up the venue. Megan was very much in control of all the details and if there was a question, she verified with the bride or myself. She worked hand-in-hand with the officiant making sure the wedding party and family members were in check with where, when and how things were being done. What’s even more amazing… there was no charge for all the additional decorations or the role “wedding planner” Megan became the day of the wedding. With the amazing service, wedding planning, additional décor, amazing food, beverage service you absolutely have to check it out.
This empty space of concrete, brick walls, dozens of paned windows and giant chandeliers becomes the most amazing beautiful space to make any bride’s dream come true!
My husband and I have our wedding at The Bond June 2021. I believe we were the first couple The Bond needed to reschedule due to COVID as our original date was March 2020. The entire team at The Bond, especially Emmalee, were incredibly flexible and made what could have been an incredibly stressful situation much easier. I cannot thank them enough for making our day absolutely perfect. Our guests had the best time, JDK catering was fantastic and the entire team made sure every detail was taken care of. Thank you, thank you!
Look no further!!!! My wedding vision came to life in this incredible space with the help of Megan and the JDK team!! The Bond is a beautiful industrial blank canvas that you can truly do whatever you wish to. The food is amazing!! Guest RAVED about it!!!! Everyone is so friendly and willing to make your day a dream. You will not regret this decision!!! It was the best day of our lives!!!!
Our wedding was absolutely amazing all thanks to The Bond, The JDK Group, and our rockstar venue specialist Megan. My husband and I had a specific vibe in mind, and the Bond was a perfect place for us to get married at. My parents had a verrry traditional mindset, and The Bond didn't seem like an obvious choice to them. I had 150% confidence in the JDK group and Megan and the amazing team that works there. She helped us every step of the way, and her calming presence is seriously what every bride needs during the stressful moments leading up the wedding. The day of the wedding, ALL of my family's "traditional" feelings completely faded away. Every. single. guest. was BLOWN AWAY by how amazing the bond was, how amazing the staff was, and what a gorgeous venue it was. And that is the ultimate compliment. If you are on the fence about The Bond.. let me push you over that fence and into the arms of Megan and her team. You will not regret it for one second.
Our wedding was absolutely flawless. We had little ties to York, but, wanted to find a specific look for our wedding and The Bond provided just that. Not only was the look (and catering) amazing to which I'm still receiving compliments, but Megan was SO fun and great to work with. She let me visit the site multiple times when I was in town and made planning from San Diego a breeze. My bridal party loved her and my wedding planner was so excited to have one of the easiest venues to work with.
1 MILLION STARS! I began planning our wedding with noooo idea on how to even begin. We knew we found a beautiful venue (The Bond Events- York, PA), but everything else was left to imagination. We worked with Megan who was the Venue Specialist and all I can say is-WOWWWW, she rocked! She made the entire process feel effortless and took a huge role in making our big day happen. Her bubbly personality, sincerity, knowledge, and flexibility gave us such a great experience. She was easily accessible, kind, and deserves national recognition for all that she does!
We are continuously hearing from our guests how beautiful the venue space was and how amazing and attentive ALL of the staff were! The staff truly exceeded all of our expectations and deserve the highest recognition possible. There is no doubt in my mind that we picked thee best place to have our wedding and will remember all of the wonderful experiences we had! The Bond will always hold a huge place in my heart!
I loved having my wedding at The Bond! I only went there one time with my husband and we fell in love immediately. I really wanted a modern industrial venue, but we live in an area where Philadelphia seemed like the only choice. My budget, however, did not like that idea. Finally someone recommended The Bond to me and it was everything I’d ever dreamed of and it didn’t break the bank. The venue has the coolest vibe, it’s so industrial, but the light fixtures soften the look and make it so elegant! And I’ll also add that the natural light is to die for!!!
Working with Megan was a breeze, she made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. She was with us from beginning to end and made sure that the day of was flawless. I was so sad to say goodbye to her when the wedding was over, she was such a big help and made all of our visions come to life!
The only vendor we were required to use was for our meal, and believe me I was not mad about that at all!! The food was absolutely incredible and every single guest complemented the meal!
I used the Bond for my son's 16th birthday party which was much like a wedding reception. I cannot speak highly enough of Abby and Megan. They were quick to respond to my emails, thoughtful in their suggestions and flexible with my changes. There staff were professional not only in their look but in their interactions with my guests and I. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and seemed just as excited as we were for my son's big day. They were worth every penny. They took care of everything and the party was absolutely beautiful. Every guest loved not only the taste of the food but also the presentation. Amazing amazing amazing!!
We couldn’t have been happier about choosing the Bond as our venue. From the beginning, working with Abby and Megan was a breeze. They are incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. They listened to what I wanted and always answered any questions I had. They made our experience so easy and I’ll always recommend working with them. The venue is absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t have imagined a better wedding for myself. I was blown away at how perfect the night was and I couldn’t have done it without Abby and Megan! Everyone was so professional and it was great not having to worry about anything while getting ready!
We loved our wedding at The Bond! Abby and Megan were great to work with. They were easy to get a hold of and able to help create our vision and make the space our own. The day of the wedding was very smooth. We didn't have to worry about anything! It's a great space for a wedding and one of the more affordable venues we looked at.
We have had the best possible experience planning our wedding at The Bond. Abby and Megan are wonderful and so patient and flexible. I am a fairly indecisive bride and they have provided me with so many helpful suggestions and ideas to make everything perfect. Our wedding is 10 days away now and I have no doubt that it will be amazing. Abby and Megan are truly the best team and we are so glad we chose to plan our wedding at The Bond with them.
My fiancé and I have really enjoyed working with Abby and Megan from the Bond. It is very easy to communicate with them and everything is very timely. Everyone is very accommodating, and we love how the JDK group offers so many different options to contribute to our wedding day. Abby and Megan are always able to answer our questions and we have no doubt that our wedding day will go off without a hitch.
I loved everything about working with the Bond Events for my wedding. Every meeting my coordinators Abby and Megan were completely prepared, they had answers to every question during ever step of the way. The day of my wedding went flawlessly, all I had to do was show up and enjoy! The venue is stunning, and the staff was very professional. I honestly couldn't think of one negative thing about this entire process. I just LOVE this venue!
If it were possible to give The Bond 10 STARS we would. My husband and I chose The Bond for its location and style but we got so much more than that. Megan was beyond amazing and helped us with everything, from the big things all the way down to the little things. We didn't feel an ounce of stress when working with Megan and her team and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. The Bond took care of everything the day of and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food (provided by JDK Group) was amazing, by far the best food wedding food we've ever had. The Bond ensured that the guests were taken care of as well as my husband and I. We have had so many people complement us on our wedding, specifically the venue. We would hands down recommend this venue, without a doubt!!!
Crazy story.....I was searching for a venue for a surprise 50th birthday party for my fiancé and I came across The Bond The venue was gorgeous and perfect for our occasion so much that I decided to make this a surprise wedding as well. Abby and Megan were so excited to be a part of this huge surprise. They help me with so many details and I think were just as thrilled to pull this off as I was. The day came and everything went perfectly and without any issues. It was perfectly decorated and during our ceremony there was not a dry eye in the place. The staff was so helpful and lots of fun. Thank you for making our special day so very extra special!
We got married at The Bond this past October 6th, 2018, and we cannot speak highly enough of Abby, Megan and team. First of all, the space is beautiful in its own way - we looked everywhere in Central PA for a venue that would be unique, contemporary, not-a-hotel (we didn’t want a “hotel wedding”) or not-a-farm (we aren’t farm/country people), haha! The Bond was a perfect fit for our style and our wish to find a more urban setting.
Unlike other couples, both my fiancé and I were equally active in choosing all of our wedding details. My husband was super excited about The Bond - the garage door that divides the cocktail hour space and the ceremony space was just way too perfect to pass as he’s a huge car guy. :-)
We didn’t want a formal reception by any means and tossed away seating charts, seating down dinner time and a lot of other formalities that’s simply (for us) got in the way of partying, and Abby and Megan were amazing in helping us craft a menu that would fit in that vibe, be delicious (everyone loved the food!!!) and gluten free (celiac bride here). The space was set to be a party, with a mix of pub-height and lower tables (no head tables or sweetheart tables for us) that just made it perfect and relaxed and, most importantly, US.
The industrial and contemporary vibe of the space was a beautiful backdrop for the decor (we hired Kate from Forte Florals and she created this modern and airy greenery geometric escape that we simply cannot describe in words) and we felt home the whole time.
We had so much fun during our wedding. I didn’t have a single hiccup reported to me the whole day, neither did my husband. We were there just to enjoy ourselves, party with our most loved people in the world, and everyone at The Bond (including our lovely waitress that kept us fed and hydrated all night long) deserve all the credit in the world!
My husband and I got married here and it was just a beautiful place. We had a steampunk theme and this place matched our expectations perfectly. Staff was great, food was great, and we had an amazing day.
The Bond was one of the first venues we found & visited, and fell in love immediately. It fit the aesthetic we were hoping to find at a more affordable price than other venues we found. Abby & Megan have been so incredibly helpful with working through menu options to perfectly fit our taste, layouts for the tables, and answering questions upon questions as we started the early stages of planning. We are ecstatic to start our next chapter in May at such an incredible place, and would highly recommend that you check it out if you’re looking for a unique wedding venue!!!
My fiance and I are thrilled to have found this venue. We knew we wanted to have our wedding somewhere in York, PA - since we met here in York. The Bond was exactly what we needed and wanted. Abby has been great to work with so far and we can't wait until our big day next year!
We are so glad we have chosen The Bond for our upcoming wedding. The venue is unique, affordable, and the team is amazing! They have made the planning process low stress by keeping things organized, planning the details we wouldn't ever think of, and being super responsive and easy-going. We love that we don't have to worry about the details and set -up the day of the wedding - we get to just enjoy our special day!
They provide so much help and support across the board! My wedding is this coming Saturday and I could not feel more prepared or more excited... Megan and Abby have been remarkable to work with and I can't contain my excitement!
The food is AMAZING and the venue is GORGEOUS.
My fiance and I checked out The Bond very soon after getting engaged and starting the venue search. As soon as we walked in, I knew that I couldn't have my wedding anywhere else - it's absolutely stunning and unlike any wedding venue I've been to! And now we're getting married at The Bond next week!! Abby and Megan have been extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. They will work with you to help achieve your vision and make sure every detail is perfect while also giving helpful suggestions and answers to questions. Colton has been amazing to work with for our flowers and decorations. And we couldn't be more excited about our customized menu for the wedding! We're looking forward to an amazing day at The Bond with the help of the entire JDK crew.
We are so excited, we just booked our wedding here for October of 2019! Megan was great and extremely accommodating with our schedules when it came to booking tours and meeting to go over any questions we had regarding the venue. Plenty of windows allow for gorgeous natural lighting, and the venue itself is beautiful and easily customizable to make the day uniquely ours. Nothing but good things to say about our experiences so far!
My fiancé and I are very excited to be working with The Bond for our wedding next year! We went through a long process of venue-hunting, and the people here made it so easy for us to know this was our venue! I really appreciate how organized they are and their quick and helpful responses whenever we ask them anything (and I’ve asked a lot).
I feel like they’re with us every step of the way!
My fiancé and I fell absolutely in love with The Bond. We instantly could picture our wedding day there. Industrial chic brick building with exposed painted brick walls, beautiful light fixtures, large windows along the one wall... A dream space for our dream day. What else would one want? Not to mention their staff is extremely helpful and make planning a breeze. We cannot wait to celebrate our day at The Bond and we cannot say enough good things about it.
We held our wedding at The Bond this June. Every detail of our wedding was taken care of by Abby and her fabulous team. They embraced our theme and decor of the wedding and meticuloisly filled in all the gaps.
As far as the menu was concerned the JDK Group specifies and changed any of our items to fit our wishes and needs.
This space was perfect for our rustic industrial tone that was complimented with a touch of glam. The central location was perfect for out many out of town guests. I can’t say enough about the space, the team, and the food. Our day was perfection with barely a bump in the road and all my stress was handled seamlessly by Abby and team!
I got married at The Bond in September 2018 - The Bond went above and beyond my expectations for my dream wedding! The Bond building is raw and gives a true industrial feel in the heart of downtown York, PA. JDK hosted an on site event at The Bond earlier in the year for 2018 Brides/Grooms for food tasting. The event was filled with foods, amazing decor ideas, and live entertainment. Our coordinator Abby was extremely knowledgeable and responsive with all our needs when we started the process. From vendor recommendations to actual planning she had us fully prepared. A few months before the wedding Abby went out on maternity leave (Congrats! - we missed her!) and JDK was beyond prepared for the quick changes and handed us off to Megan. She stepped right in and made our day completely flawless along with our JDK florist Erika. Both of them were nothing but helpful, friendly, and efficient throughout the entire process and accommodated all of our needs down to every last little decor detail we envisioned for our wedding day. I was completely in awe when I saw the ballroom for the first time that day. It was more than I had ever expected. The food was absoutely delicous and we got raving reviews from guests on the food from the evening from hors-d'oeuvre's to the main meal. We still have people asking about the sauces on our salmon and filet! Service during the event was on point from timeline to cleaning up the champagne glass my dad and I managed to knock over. Zero lines at the bar and bathroom - huge plus for a wedding! JDK and their team truly represents their business well as leaders in the wedding industry. I would recommend The Bond and JDK for catering and event design. Erika the florist/event design lead from JDK was unbelievable with her decor ideas and flowers. They accommodated 220 guests along with a 10 piece band and we didn't experience any hiccups the entire day. Amazing!!!!!
The Bond was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! We had 220 guests, and the staff accommodated everyone perfectly. The bars operated efficiently, passed hors-d'oeuvre's were always available, and stationed hors-d'oeuvre's were kept full at all times. When it came time for the sit-down meal, each course was served in a timely fashion, and food perfect temperature. Most importantly, all the food was delicious. We received many compliments on the amazing quality of the food. It was obvious that the head chef and staff are committed to providing an excellent food experience. They take great pride in their craft, and it shows. The coordinating staff of Abbey, Erika, and Megan were great to work with. They were extremely organized, and eliminated all stress throughout the planning process. Attending planning meetings with them was enjoyable and exciting. We always left feeling confident that the wedding day would be perfect. Even though we knew what to expect of the ballroom, we were blown away by the final product. The flowers and decorations were amazing. The atmosphere of The Bond is great and unlike anything else in the area. I highly recommend using JDK Floral when having a wedding reception at the Bond (or anywhere else). Erika is an expert at her floral craft and decorating, and she knows The Bond better than anyone. All three of the ladies were excellent communicators and planners. We feel like we gained new friends through our planning process. Hopefully we can find a reason to have an event at the Bond in the future.
Our daughters wedding reception was at the Bond September 2018! We were extremely pleased! Working with Abbey, Megan and Erika was a pleasure. The food, flowers and decor were perfection! JDK and all their employees provided a spectacular event! Thank you all for a memorable wedding day for our daughter and son-in-law🤵🏻👰🏼!!!!!!
Our March wedding at the Bond was absolutely perfect! Not only is the venue gorgeous and surrounded stunning murals that make for incredible pictures, but the food from JDK is to die for. Even my hard to please guests are still talking about “the best wedding food” they ever had. Abby was a joy to work with and quickly responded to all of my emails and phone calls. If you want a venue that will truly make your wedding stand out the Bond is for you.
