rial Ballroom was its Elegance. The gorgeous chandeliers and high ceilings are dramatic and exquisite. The built in dance floor and bar make the room feel glamorous, and the chairs are something no other venue in Lancaster, PA has. I had my dream wedding and it was so beyond perfect!!!
The staff at The Imperial Ballrooms went above and beyond to make our day so incredible. From the very beginning to the very end, we knew we were in great hands. They were helpful, informative, kind, and professional. All of our guests commented on how lovely and professional the staff were which made us so happy!
Since most of our guests were from out of town we took out a room block with the Holiday Inn Lancaster and we were so happy with the hotel as well! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the lobby was welcoming, and the breakfast was incredible!
A special shout out to:
Francisco for the incredible service. From the moment we met you to the very end we felt valued!
Badonna for the amazing planning. We are so thankful for you stepping in last minute to help us plan the perfect day.
