The Central Hotel & Conference Center HarrisburgHershey

estern because of the per person price and because of the nice courtyard area where they have the cocktail hour. Other hotels were charging more for buffet and the full premium bar. Their price was in our budget. Plus their rooms are nicer! In the beginning of our planning we found out that Erica was leaving and her role would be taken over by Jessica. This was a smooth transition, Jessica picked up where Erica left off with our planning. The package that they offer includes an allowance for the cake and centerpieces. We used their suggested vendors and they were able to keep us with in our allowance budget. Their vendors work directly with Jessica to make sure our vision came to light and that everything was delivered and in place the day of the wedding. (Sweet Confections for cake, Pamela's Flowers) Jessica was very responsive with all of my questions and kept me up to date on timelines and necessary meetings with her and her team. She made herself available over my lunch breaks to meet and talk about planning, room set up, etc. We dropped off all of the wedding décor in tubs, with pictures of how we wanted them laid out. They made our vision come to life! Laid out perfectly how we pictured it! We decided to do a buffet dinner. I felt it was a good selection of food for our large group of 100 people. We met with Jessica and one of the catering gals to do a food tasting, two weeks before. They were able to swap out prime rib for roast beef and made some other changes that we requested. The guests loved the food and raved about the crab cake apps and the seafood Newburg. The day of the reception was a breeze. The vendors were all working with Jessica to make sure everything stayed on track. We got a room included with our package. They make sure your bags get delivered, they put left over food/cake in the room fridge for later and you get breakfast in the morning. It was a pleasure to work with Jessica and glad she was there to help us plan along the way. It was a stress free reception and that is how you want it! Thank you Best Western Central Hotel for making our reception a huge success!

and efficient. I would highly recommend using them for any special event!

this reception venue to anyone who asked!!!

our venue.

licious, and the atmosphere was great! I cannot recommend this venue more! Thank you again to Jessica, and everyone at The Central Hotel & Conference Center, for making our wedding day all we could have dreamed of and more!

of the staff were very accommodating with several personal requests. Our wedding ceremony was over sooner than we anticipated; therefore, guests arrived at the Best Western Premier earlier than we anticipated. The staff did not hesitate to make sure our bridal suite was ready along with the hors d’oeuvres for cocktail hour. Cocktail hour was just beautiful in the main lobby- what an amazing atmosphere. There are a lot of different places for your guests to sit. The hors d’oeuvres were yummy and never lacking! The reception room was fabulous as well. Again, the food was delicious along with the cake from Sweet Confections. Our centerpiece flowers were beautiful from Royer’s. As the bride and groom we were treated with extra care! It was an unforgettable night! When we arrived in our room later that night, the staff had snacks, cake, and a bottle of champagne waiting for us. We truly could not have asked for a better wedding reception! It was an unforgettable night! Thank you Jessica and Best Western Premier Staff!

ood was great, the ambiance was great, and it is super helpful to have the guest rooms in the same building so there is no worrying about people getting home safely. Jessica, the wedding coordinator, is full of helpful suggestions and is very knowledgeable about how to host a wonderful wedding reception. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful and memorable wedding day!

ou'll have to have your guests at different hotels.

day! They helped to set up and finalize all of the details! The ballroom and Atrium were beautiful and just the right size for our event. The only downfall would be that there are not a lot of areas to take photos at within the complex. Other than that, we made a fantastic choice in choosing the Best Western Premier the Central Hotel, not only for their pricing but their outstanding service as well!

etails were thought out and taken care of. On the day of the wedding the whole hotel/banquet staff was very professional and helpful. The food and drink was fabulous! And the timeline of the event went according to schedule. They took care of everything so we could enjoy the day. I definitely recommend The Central!

to. Everyone loved the atrium for the cocktail hour. We're so happy we chose the Best Western Central Hotel!

arrived and made sure everything was to our liking before the guest entered the room. The other staff was there to assist us in anyway we needed from beginning to end. We were unable to eat our meal so they had one for us to take to the bridal suite that evening. We also held my bridal shower here. Everyone talked about how friendly and helpful the staff was. The staff was very observant to the things we needed or forgotten and took care of it very quickly. We would definitely have another event here.

ver again, nothing would change.
