As Penn State graduates we couldn’t have been more pleased to be able to have the opportunity to get married in State College and we were truly blown away by the level of service, ...
professionalism, and thoughtful care shown by the entire Penn Stater staff in helping make our intimate wedding dream a reality. Dawn was an absolute delight to work with throughout the entire process and was able to find elements and solutions to make our day special from the decorations down to Penn State elements to make us feel right at home. Not only was Dawn fantastic, but the accompanying staff was tremendous as well — catering to our every want, need, and desire while doing so courteously while observing pandemic protocols. The entire process was made super easy by Dawn and her team and we really couldn’t have asked for anything better given the circumstances. If the world continues as it stands, you can’t go wrong with having your intimate wedding at the Penn Stater — WE ARE overjoyed that we did!
Booking with the Penn Stater was one of the best decisions we made during our planning. Delyn and Joy were both amazing to work with. We had some speedbumps due to COVID, but we we...
re able to create a dream wedding and reception in their beautiful courtyard. They even went above and beyond and were able to secure us heaters free of charge! I honestly think we were lucky to have had our reception in the courtyard rather than the ballroom like originally planned - It was a stunning day and we couldn't have asked for anything more!
Our wedding reception was absolutely perfect at The Penn Stater. They literally took care of everything, and even brought up things that I didn't think of. I had nothing to worry a...
bout the day of the reception- they made sure to take care of everything and even helped me with some last minute seating issues. A number of event staff came up to me throughout the night to make sure everything was going well and to ask if I needed anything. It was also awesome to have the hotel attached for guests to stay at. The food was delicious and I heard a ton of compliments from guests (we had the Italian buffet).
Great choice-real value for your money! The hotel was great-Guests, families, and wedding party as well as bride and groom were not from PA (PSU alums). Hotel was great-clean, frie...
ndly staff, great service. All staff were easy to work with! Joy Vincent-Killian was great to start the process and Margo Williamson was awesome consultant. We did a lot over email and it all came out better than I ever imagined! Food was awesome, service was great all weekend. I even gave a brunch and they provided a great spread-my guests loved every minute! My husband and I weren't stressed and had the most amazing wedding weekend!! We were able to book the trolley and that was a great move too. The Penn Stater also worked well with all our vendors and took great care with everything!! They give you many options. Also, I have several food allergies and they were awesome about that as well as accommodating my guests' food allergies or concerns. A wonderful place for a wedding and a great place for a wedding weekend!
