My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Celebrations on November 18, 2023. I have no complaints and highly recommend having your wedding here! The staff, food, drinks, and venue as a whole were all fantastic. We received many compliments from our guests following our wedding. Everyone had a great time and Celebrations truly helped make our wedding day one of the best days of our lives.

I could not recommend Celebrations enough!! I recently had my wedding reception at Celebrations on March 11, 2023 - and it was truly the best night of our lives!! We had 350 guests and a 13piece live band. The venue is so spacious and accommodated our large wedding perfectly!!! So many of our guests have been telling us it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended, and I thank Celebrations whole heartedly for that! The food was out of this world, and the employees went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were having the best night. The owner of Celebrations, Frank, worked that night himself and he truly made the night so seamless for us, our parents, our vendors, and all our guests.
While my husband and I were caught up mingling with all our guests, our hands were never empty thanks to our Maître d', Angela, who made sure we always had something to drink and eat. Angela was a true joy to work with.
Celebrations knows what the most important parts of a wedding are - food, drinks, music, family, friends, and so much love and joy!
We also did not have to go anywhere out of the way to have photos taken. Before cocktail hour, we had all our photos taken in Celebrations’ courtyard, which came out beautiful - even in March! We also had a ton of photos taken inside Celebrations before cocktail hour and they also turned out beautifully.
Celebrations is a timeless wedding venue, 10/10 recommend!!

Celebrations is a one of a kind venue. They went above and beyond to make my day everything I wanted. From start to finish they reassured me of all concerns and went out their way to make accommodations for my day. We had reservations about two weddings being held on the same day but everything went fantastic, their staff worked diligently to make sure this would not be an issue. The team at Celebrations is professional and Kathy was amazing with communication and was very helpful. Derick was a saint the day of my event anything I needed I went to him and he made sure all was taken care of. I cannot thank the entire staff and frank enough for making my day so special. I would not recommend any other venue for the day of your wedding. Please book it you will not regret it.

We contacted celebrities for a second opinion on wedding venues. Once we walked through the doors we fell in love and once we got to meet Frank we knew we found our place. Celebraties is so beautiful inside and out the people who work for Frank are incredible. We can’t wait for our special day. Also I’m a money guy and you get your money’s worth at celebrations.

We just had our wedding at celebrations this past weekend and we cannot say more great things about it! The team that worked with us the entire day including Angela Derek and Destinee were absolutely amazing. They were unbelievably sweet, so professional, so hard-working, and we’re the reason our day was so amazing and was so special. The only thing that bothered us was the guests from the other wedding, happening in the same night as us, kept coming into our wedding and getting drinks from our bar and one came into our ceremony and one came into our reception room. However we feel this was not the venues fault because the team of individuals who worked our wedding were absolutely amazing including the bartenders. We were more so just upset at the lack of respect the guest from the other wedding showed. Derek jumped on this right away, threw the other guests out of our wedding, and stood on watch the rest of the night to make sure no one came into our wedding. The staff handled the situation immediately and were so professional about it. Besides that there is nothing else that could have went more perfect. They were so accommodating and helpful. Our ceremony cocktail hour and reception room looked absolutely stunning, the entire day was on time and stayed on track, and the team worked unbelievably hard during set up dinner service and clean up. It was the best day, so beautiful, made us so happy, and we highly recommend!
response 10/12/2022
Brooke, we are thrilled that you took the time to review us and of course mentioning Angel...
a, Derek and our Team! We pride ourselves on Customer Service and relations that sets us aside from other venues. Which is why we have been in this industry for over 33 years. It is unfortunate that the other wedding which started an hour after yours, would come into your area to try and get drinks. Our bartenders at each bar do everything to try and get to know the Wedding Guests for their specific event and will inform Wedding guests to go to their respective bars for drinks. this has always been and will continue to be part of our training. So thrilled that you will have beautiful memories to share for years to come. Fondly, The Celebrations Team!

Celebrations was the best decision my husband and I ever made for our wedding! The grounds are amazing and has a gorgeous waterfall to be used as a beautiful backdrop for photos. The inside is big and has these gorgeous chandeliers hanging throughout. They are reasonably priced, and provide you with everything from hot & cold appetizers to an ice sculpture(included in the price!), and they make you feel like a queen! I have never felt so catered to in my life! We were about a half an hour behind schedule at our wedding, and I started to get so stressed out that we were not going to have time to do everything. Our dream team however, Kim & Deniece, made sure to calm my nerves and reassure me that we would do everything I planned on doing, and that's exactly what happened. These ladies even went as far as bustling my wedding gown for me, so I wouldn't have to waste time getting my MOH! They made sure we had beverages as soon as our outside photos were done and had hot appetizers waiting for us at our sweetheart table. These two get an A++ in my book! Now the owner Frank is also amazing. He help answer all of our questions, and was even able to provide some sugar-free desserts at the end of the night for my diabetic mother!(side note: I highly recommend the Venetian Hour, which is a dessert bar that has everything you could ever think of, including a chocolate fountain! My guest LOVED it!). Now, the food at Celebrations is just like everything else there....AMAZING! Especially the Vegetarian lasagna! OMG, I am a meat eater, but when I tasted this lasagna, I had to get it as my wedding meal! So if you live anywhere in the tri-state area( or the world! lol), and are looking for a beautiful venue to get married at, look no further! Celebrations is where it's at!

We had our wedding at Celebrations this past weekend and could not have imagined it going any better. Throughout the whole experience the staff was professional, experienced, and efficient. They know what they’re doing. We were also thrilled to see that Celebrations markets to LGBT weddings as that was a major factor in being able to get married in the suburbs. You cannot beat the packages at Celebrations. You get SO MUCH. We were treated like royalty on wedding day. Our guests raved about the venue and the food. We could not recommend Celebrations any higher.

I have nothing but great things to say about Celebrations. Marie Elise, Courtney, and Frank made planning our day so simple. They were kind and accommodating and always made time for my hundreds of questions. They told me to bring a box with everything I had for the day of and they would get it all set up. The venue looked magical when I arrived! Everything had been set up and I almost didn't know what to do with myself because they took care of everything! Somehow, our bartender, Meagan, knew what everyone was drinking before they even ordered it. Derek helped keep everything flowing throughout the night and was there to help with anything I needed. The real MVP, though, was Kim. As easy as everything was, Kim held me together throughout the night. She was like a fairy godmother! Tissues at the ready when I couldn't stop my happy tears; there to bustle my dress when it was time to dance; she even gave me the mom treatment and made sure I sat down and ate some of my dinner! Our wedding day was perfect and we have received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS. Celebrations really goes above and beyond for their couples.

Our wedding at Celebrations was everything we could have asked for! Marie Elise helped my husband and I throughout the planning and design portion, and was extremely helpful. She definitely decreased my stress levels with how knowledgeable she was and willing to accommodate our desires. During the reception itself, our captain, Desiree, and maitre d, Kim, were PHENOMENAL! Any time we turned around, they were there to check on us or to answer questions we had. The two of them made the experience far easier than anticipated. We lucked out and did not have another wedding occurring at the same time as ours, however, noticed that we only had 1 bartender despite being told we would have 2. The line for alcohol was long at times, but everyone was served and mingling nonetheless. One complaint that was received by guests was that several of them received the wrong plates during dinner service-- the venue asks for how many of each type of dish are at each table, but it appears that servers do not ask guests what they ordered prior to serving food. Food also comes out on carts, so it gets a bit confusing at times. That being said, overall, the venue is absolutely beautiful and everything we could have imagined. We STILL have guests gushing over the outdoor pavilion space, the gardens and the foyer. I would recommend this venue, hands down, to anyone looking for a beautiful and traditional wedding, especially if you're a foodie (the amount of food they offer is astounding!)

Hi Brittany!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that your wed...
ding day was so wonderful! We very much apologize for the confusion, but we only schedule 2 bartenders for parties with larger guest counts. And yes, we do not take orders at the table; but rather try to stick with the submitted seating diagram. The servers do use trays to serve, not carts. And thank you so much for complimenting the food! We are very proud of our culinary team. Please post some photos when you can! We would love to share!

Kim, Derek, and Marie Elise were wonderful. They always made sure that we were taken care of. All of the staff were very professional and did a great job at setting up our decorations and taking care of us and the guests. Everything ran smoothly and our parents were very pleased.
Although Celebrations did not allow us to postpone because we were concerned about COVID, they were flexible with the guest count minimum. We had everything booked literally right before the pandemic hit and we only had half the guests we invited show up. We only had to pay for the guests we knew were coming and not held to the contract minimum. All employees wore masks and gloves. Price wise, you really couldn’t beat it compared to other venues we toured. They offer so much for the price per person and they even threw in some stuff.
Since there was another reception going on that night, we had multiple people from the other wedding walk into our cocktail and reception areas throughout the night and you could hear the music from the other reception through the wall at times. The two reception rooms are right next to each other and have a divider separating them. Guests from either party can walk freely in between the cocktail areas. Obviously there isn’t too much the staff can do about this, but I guess you could consider it a design flaw in the venue layout no matter how much signage you have to distinguish which wedding it is. It’s something I didn’t even think about until it happened. It definitely didn’t ruin our night, but it would have been nice to have the venue to ourselves as an afterthought.
Overall, we had a good experience! Just remember that at the end of the day, you get to marry the love of your life and that’s all that matters

My fiancé Miguel and I would like to express great thanks to our wedding Venue Celebrations Wedding Venue for allowing us to postpone our dream wedding until the COVID-19 outbreak subsides. To Frank, the owner, words can’t express how appreciative we are to have such an understanding and kind person work with us and make sure our special day is truly amazing. And we know it definitely will be with you by our side! Thank you for being generous and sympathetic during this upsetting and worried time. Can’t wait for the near future to celebrate and experience the best day ever!

Me and my now husband scheduled our FIRST and ONLY meeting at Celebrations Wedding Venue with Denyse for our wedding ceremony and reception, just moments after meeting her and taking a tour of the facility we knew that Celebrations Wedding Venue was the venue for us! The excitement and passion that Denyse had helping us envision our big day while taking us for our walk through can be unmatched and truly made our big decision effortless and stress free. After booking the venue, we had unlimited access to contacting her for any questions or concerns. On the day of our wedding every staff member treated us and our guests like royalty! Our wedding day couldn't of been more perfect! The food, service, and atmosphere were out of this world and we plan on using this venue for many more events in the future!

Celebrations was the perfect wedding venue! It was our top choice after tons of research so we were so happy they had a date we wanted available. Denise was so helpful in our preparations, answering our many, many questions and giving her honest opinion when we asked for it. She really knew her stuff and made us feel very comfortable! The bridal suite, grounds, and ceremony/reception areas were all beautiful and pristine. And the food… amazing!! There was so much at the cocktail hour, more than we even thought they would be providing and every dish was delicious. We got so many comments after the wedding about how good all the food was. The bar staff was also awesome and made delicious cocktails. You can tell this venue does a lot of weddings because every single part of the day went so smoothly, I couldn’t recommend this venue enough!

Wedding of my dreams! When we first met Marie Elise she put no pressure on us by trying to over sell the venue like a lot of places. She was genuine and sincere and bluntly honest which we admired so much. she was just so confident in the services they provided, that she explained everything with the up most belief that Celebrations is the best and would sell itself. Man was she right!! Everything and everyone that helped make our day special were beyond amazing. Truly Superhuman if there is such a thing. It has been a week and we are still getting praised by nearly all that attended. They have said our wedding was the best wedding ever hands down. From the venue, to the happy hour, to the food, to the drinks, to all the supporting employees. People say it was truly amazing. Our final words about this place is it's Truly Mind Blowing beyond my wildest dreams! Thanks to everyone that was apart of making our day one we and our guest will talk about for years to come.

Amazing! Denise and the entire team there made everything smooth and flawless for our day. From the very beginning planning the food and how we wanted to set everything up was a smooth process. We were able to contact them whenever and they responded quick with questions. The food was AMAZING! Our friends and family enjoyed everything and they were so accommodating since I wanted to include cultural aspects to our day. Weeks after all those who attended our wedding couldn't say enough. We wanted our day to be beautiful and Celebrations helped make the day just that. I couldn't recommend them more!

My husband and I got married at Celebrations in December 2018. The venue is absolutely beautiful! We had an indoor ceremony and our reception at Celebrations. The food was phenomenal and you really get a lot for your money. Cocktail hour alone is enough food for a meal and then some. The staff at Celebrations really works with you to create your dream wedding day. They are responsive and quick to answer any questions you have prior to and even on your wedding day. Staff is friendly, professional, and efficient. Everything ran smoothly from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. There were only two things that were disappointing. The staff started to clear the tables an hour before the reception was supposed to end. The main doors to the ballroom were also propped open. This led a lot of our guests to believe that the reception was ending and it was time to go. Unfortunately, the majority of our guests left an hour before they needed to. This put a damper on the night because the dance floor was pretty empty. Also, I had written specific instructions on one of the forms Celebrations requires you to fill out prior to your wedding. I had provided cake bags and asked for the cake to be bagged and put out for guests to take with them on their way home. Instead, the cake was plated and brought to tables. Many of our guests were not hungry and then the cake got wasted. There was definitely miscommunication there. Overall, we would recommend Celebrations!

Hi Trish, Thank you for your detailed review and talking about our food and service we pro...
vide. We always make sure the tables are clear of plates and glasses for your guests after they are finished. The doors are propped open before the end of the night because they still have access to the bar area. I am not sure why they left early when the DJ continues to play music. Thank you again and let us know if you need anything in the future.

WOWWWWWW! That's the first thing that comes to mind when I reflect back on my wedding experience at Celebrations. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the food was exquisite and the staff were highly trained and super friendly. Every detail I needed to be executed was done with excellency. I didn't have to worry about anything from the bustle on my dress to the extras on my reception tables. Most importantly, I truly appreciated how they treated me like a person and not a BIG FAT CHECK. Celebrations was more than a wedding venue to me (at one point a counselor when I started freaking out lolol). All I can say is my wedding was PERFECT because of Celebrations!

Celebrations truly hosts a celebration to remember. We wed at this venue a few weeks ago and everything was seamless. If there were any issues, I didn't know about them. From getting ready to the ceremony to the reception. The staff assigned to you know their stuff. They communicate effortlessly with each other and make sure you are where you need to be. The staff were present for both the bride and groom but also for the rest of the wedding party. It was such a blessing to work with such an amazing group of people. We are so grateful to the staff; Marie Elise,Denise, Frank,Patricia, Destyne, and everyone else that played a part. This venue is truly a gem!

Our wedding was November 3rd, 2018. Celebrations exceeded our expectations in multiple ways. Denyse and Frank were so helpful and reassuring during the planning process. They answered all of my many questions along the way. Our wedding was a priority to them we never felt like a number.
On the day of they were even more helpful ! We did a first look and all of our family photos before the wedding. Celebrations brought out snacks for our guest during our photos and had champagne in the bridal suite. It was all very nice and prevented us from having a hangry bridal party.( very important) My husband I requested to go to the suite alone after the ceremony. A plate of appetizers was brought to us to eat before we joined our guest. Looking back, that was so helpful ! They also brought us into the ballroom before everyone else saw it. It was such a nice moment to just admire all of our hard work. The food was excellent ! The venue accommodated my guest and worked well with all of my venders! A week later people are still raving about how beautiful and delicious everything was! Thank-you so much Celebrations!

I am going to try my best to keep this as short as I can which is very hard when you have so much to say. My name is Kristin and I got married at Celebrations on Saturday September 29, 2018 and it was truly a fairytale. I know probably most brides say the same thing about their wedding day but from start to finish, Celebrations made this entire process stress free and so enjoyable! From the moment I met Frank, I knew we were in good hands. He treated us like his own family. He was so accomindating and professional. He wants your wedding to be the best of the best and thats exactly what he did for us. Marie Elise was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic! She was there by our sides throughout the entire planning process. She did everything she could to make our big day everything we imagined. She was so pleasant, kind and truly a pleasure to work with. She is an absolute sweetheart and I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us.
The day of our wedding was PERFECT, literally perfect. We arrived early before the reception to take pictures on the beautiful grounds. Thats were we met our Captain and Maitre d’ for the night. We had two young ladies who were awesome. They literally waited on us the entire night, checked on us asking if everything was okay throughout the night, making the night literally everything we wanted! Thats just one of the things that makes Celebrations so much more than the average wedding venue. They want only the best!
After pictures we went up to our private bridal suite where our maitre d’ brought up a plate of variety cocktail menu foods for us to sit and relax and grab something to eat, because we knew if we went downstairs we would get caught talking to all our guests and not be able to eat, so I am glad we took that time for ourselves and enjoyed the delicious appetizers we picked out. The cocktail hour presentation looked like a magazine. It was so beautifully done. They seriously out did themselves with the cocktail hour. Our guests were in heaven and loved the food!!!
Im not sure if anyone was actually hungry after our cocktail hour but everyone enjoyed out sit down dinner. The filet mignon was so tender! I ate my entire dinner, it was that good! The bartenders were non stop, serving all our guests fast and never had anyone waiting for a drink- they were fantastic. We danced the night away leaving the reception with a sparkler send off!
In conclusion, Celebrations made our wedding reception everything we hoped for. From start to finish they were unbelievable. My husband, family and myself can’t thank them enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams. All our guests had a blast. We received phone calls from our friends and family days after the wedding, raving how much they enjoyed themselves and about the food, which was awesome to hear. I would recommend Celebrations to anyone and everyone who is planning their wedding. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! Everyone at Celebrations promised it would be perfect, and they sure did keep their promise to us! THANK YOU CELEBRATIONS!
Love Always,
Mr & Mrs Christman

What can I say except if you are looking for a wedding venue in bucks county look no further. Our wedding was Thursday 10-11-18. We are a military couple and were already married but wanted a vow renewal and a reception for our friends and family. Denyse made the process so easy I barely felt like I did anything. When we arrived to do our first look, Patricia greeted us and from then on she was my go to. Everything fell into place perfectly because of her. My friends and family are still raving about the venue, the food, and how wonderfully organized they were. Most said that it was the best wedding they've ever been too. I cant thank you guys enough for making a stressful process so easy and fun. But seriously, if you have Patricia do your wedding, you wont be disappointed as my father said and I quote "shes the fucking bomb!" Thank you celebrations but thank you Patricia for your kind and warm manner and making it so fun we love you guys!

We just had our wedding at Celebrations Sunday 10/14/2018, let me just give a little back story, we are from Florida but we knew we would be moving to PA and wanted our wedding there since most of our family is up north, I looked up wedding venues in the area and Celebrations popped up, the pictures were beautiful inside and all the wonderful landscaping, so I emailed to speak with someone, Denyse called me the next day and went over everything with me and made me feel even more excited I just knew that I wanted this to be our place, so without seeing the venue in person and just going off of pictures and Denyse I booked the venue. 6 months later we moved and went to see the venue in person and it was everything I saw in pictures but so much more, there is so much detail that is completely amazing, Denyse was with us every step of the way and made us feel great! Every meeting was so exciting and you could tell she loves what she does! Fast forward to our wedding day our Maître d’ Patricia was absolutely amazing !!!! Everything went so smoothly and all the transitions were seemless, our cocktail room and ballroom were set up perfect and were completely stunning. My captain for the night Denisia (my spelling may be off) was so sweet and attentive and got anything and everything I needed, literally catered to me! Food, water, shoes, chasing my daughter around or helping her with her shoes she was right on top of it! The moment I was to walk down the stairs she calmed my nerves and said that this is my moment and to cherish it, she truly made me feel at ease, especially since I am 9 months pregnant I was pretty nervous! Everyone at Celebrations was completely wonderful and truly made the night even more special, the night was beautiful and the food was delicious!!! All my guests told me how good the food was and telling me they were so full because they ate so much! I’ve been to weddings before where i was hungry after leaving but my wedding had tons of food so I was so happy everyone left with full bellies! Thank you to everyone at Celebrations for making our day beautiful and everything we imagined and so much more!

My future husband and I are having our wedding reception at Celebrations in less than two weeks!! Obviously this would be a stressful time for any bride and groom, however Marie Elise and the rest of the Celebrations staff have made this time easy and enjoyable. Their support and advice through this whole process has been amazing! We cannot wait for October 20th to be here!

We got married at Celebrations on July 1, 2018. To say that our wedding was amazing is an absolute understatment! We are still in awe about our beautiful day. We worked with Denise. She was very patient with answering all of our questions since our first visit to Celebrations in December 2016. She thoroughly explained every single detail leading up to our wedding day. My husband and I felt nothing but pure joy throughout our entire wedding. We brought in a few additional decorative items for our ceremony and reception and the staff at Celebrations put them all in place correctly per my request. They even had all of the items packed up and returned to us by the end of the evening. I 100% recommend Celebrations! Thank you so much for making my dream wedding come true!!!

We still cannot wipe the smiles off of our faces after our wedding at Celebrations! We are still on a wedding high and it is because of the OUTSTANDING service we received the entire day from the staff on our wedding on June 29th! A year and half ago we walked into Celebrations and as soon as we walked in and met with the amazing Marie Elise, we knew this was where we wanted to be married. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of my wedding planning, if I had a question she responded right away, I was never waiting for responses. I cannot thank her enough for the amazing job and she did to help make our wedding so special! On the day of our wedding, the entire Celebrations staff literally bent over backwards to make sure everything was perfect for our day. Marie Elise, Patricia, Derrick, Ashley, Frank, and the rest of the staff are amazing and wonderful people. We did not want the night to end! Not only was the service and the venue outstanding, the food was out of this world!!! There were so much food and all of it was DELICIOUS! We had pictures in and outside of the venue and they all came out outstanding! The grounds outside makes for the most gorgeous pictures. We felt so special and taken care of on our day that we cannot thank you the staff at Celebrations enough. Special shout out to Ashley our captain for taking care of everything Doug and I wanted or needed throughout the night, you were amazing :) I would absolutely recommend getting married at Celebrations!! Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had, how amazing the food was, and the beauty of the venue!! We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much you made our day THE BEST DAY EVERY <3 Love, Steph & Doug

Hi! My name is Nicki and my husband and I got married at this wonderful venue on 6/22/18! I came across Celebrations because my daughter went to school in the area and I have to pass there to get to her school. Well I remember the first time I passed there, the beautiful fountain caught my eye and I instantly knew that I wanted to get married outside! Well let me also tell you, the inside is absolutely stunning and I knew completely then, that I wanted to be married there and I am so thankful to Mr. Frank for making that happen for us! He is such a wonderful man and he gave us Denyse to work with us. She is such an amazing woman! She is very professional, skilled, very patient I must say, and very friendly. I miss her already! She really made our wedding a dream come true. I was happy that I got to talk to her on the wedding day even though I was late due to my getting makeup done by the fabulous Jackie Hicks makeup artist(check her out on Facebook), I didn’t think I would be able to thank her and say my goodbyes even though I thought that she was able to stay, but that wasn’t the case. So I’m saying thanks Denyse again for making our day come to fruition. The rest of the staff that handles the reception were wonderful as well! They were on top of everything from keeping us informed of all that was going to happen! The food was amazing and we’re happy with the food choices we picked for everyone that even they loved how good the food was. The staff was also very accommodating and I would like to thank Patricia especially for helping my daughter with the painful ankle that she had. I appreciate all of the help that you did. I can’t say enough about how wonderful everyone is at Celebrations and I would look no further for a wedding venue because this is most certainly the place that you would want to get married! They will definitely make your wedding day a wonderful day and your reception outstanding and I can attest to that! I still past there and I think about our wedding day with a huge smile. Thanks again to everyone at Celebrations for making our day a memorable day.

If I can give more than five stars, my Fiance and I would definitely be glad to give so for Celebrations. The moment we came to toured the place back in September 2017; we felt in love. Fortunately, we got to meet Frank the owner on that first day and then Marie Elise. Both are wonderful people and we felt right at home after talking to them. We booked the place on the spot even though we ventured out to just browse around for venues but did not think we would find a venue that early on! It felt like it is fate with us and Celebrations. Frank and Marie Elise have been nothing but professional, supportive and accommodated. Marie Elise is very knowledgeable and have years of experiences in this business. She gave many great ideas and advice. Marie Elise makes me feel at home and like a mother figure to me. she always does her best to make my dream wedding come true!
We recently had our food tasting and were blown away by the food. We tried few of the chickens, the steak and the Vegetarian Lasagna. EVERYTHING were so good! My fiance and I are looking forward to have our family and friends here in Fall 2018 to celebrate with us. We are so glad we've found Celebrations and will create our memories here with them!

Celebrations is a spectacular wedding venue, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I have searched throughout the state of Pennsylvania and have not found a better venue that has helped with my budget. The staff has worked with me hand in hand to take any stress away from my fiance Marley and I. The elegant atmosphere at Celebrations is completely stunning inside and out. The food was exquisite for my taste test and I am counting the days down for my upcoming wedding.

My husband and I recently got married on September 23, 2017. We couldn’t say enough about how amazing Celebrations was to us and our family. We had a bit of a gap between our off-site ceremony and reception, but Frank made sure that our wedding party was able to come to venue and take pictures outside. We wanted to greet our guests coming in to cocktail hour & the staff made sure that happened. Frank even changed a small error in my name right before cocktail hour started on the outside sign- I couldn’t believe the kindness! Celebrations staff “threw in” countless extras the day of our wedding. When we arrived at cocktail hour, our captain, Jessie, showed us that a carving station and mashed potato bar was added to our selections, as well as a spicy shrimp martini app! When we arrived at the ballroom, we saw that Celebrations added a “Beer” ice sculpture behind the built bar inside the room- it was perfect for our family & friends! All these amazing extras were added free of cost. Everyone always told us that “the day will fly by”. However, the way Celebrations arranged our wedding, my husband and I did not feel that way at all. They slowed down the day for us and brought us into each room before our guests came into the room. They made sure we fully experienced and enjoyed our wedding day party. Our captain Jessie, as well as another woman (I forget her name!), made sure we had everything we wanted. A huge plate of pigs in a blanket (our fave) was delivered to our side when we sat down in the ballroom. We had the most fabulous time at our wedding & owe it to this wonderful venue. It is evident that Frank and his staff truly care about each wedding that they have and care about the families that choose Celebrations.

RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND!! Celebrations was AMAZING. I worked with Marie Elise for most of my planning and when I tell you she was always there for me, she was ALWAYS there for me. She was always a phone call, a quick email, a pop-in visit away and answered every question and calmed every nerve for this anxious bride. On top of that, the owner Frank was just amazing at working with our budget and making sure we had the wedding of our dreams! And of course my Captain and my Maitre D, Jessie and Dominique- they waited on me hand and foot that night, never letting me worry about anything or lift a finger. The venue itself is stunning, all of our pictures came out incredible. AND THE FOOD!!! Everything- EVERYTHING start to finish was amazing, I absolutely recommend. Thank you to the staff of Celebrations for the wedding I have been planning since I was a little girl.

I booked a wedding today at Celebrations with Marie and Frank. I was supposed to get married there a few years ago but the wedding was called off due to some bad things that happened. My father had already put down half of the reception payment, and at the time, Frank told us we can use it as a credit in the future, even though it wasn't part of the contract. 3 years later, today, and Frank being a very honorable man, gave us the credit so we didn't lose any money from years ago. Marie and Frank are amazing and they truly care about making people's wedding day the best and
They are so genuine. I can't wait to have my wedding here in 2018!! I highly recommend Celebrations!!

My fiancé and I just booked our wedding at Celebrations. After a few weeks of researching venues, narrowing our choices, and scheduling tours, Celebrations was the first place we visited in person and our search stopped there. We fell in love with the venue the moment we stepped in the door, and our touring experience with Denyse was unforgettable. We called less than an hour after our visit to book our wedding because we knew it was the place for us. To say we are looking forward to our wedding reception there would not do it justice. Thank you for making everything so easy for us so far!

I am the mother of the bride helping plan with my daughter and fiance. From the moment we walked into Celebrations we were "Wowed!" We met with Marie Elise, who showed us the whole venue and gave a play by play of what to expect on the day of my daughters wedding. She is so professional, kind and made us feel like family. It is obvious that she cares about the bride and family. She answered all our questions with honesty and compassion. We are so happy with our choice for we booked this venue for next September 29, 2018. Through out this whole experience so far has been absolutely amazing and stress free. We met the owner Frank the second visit we scheduled and he accommodated us with special requests we had. He is a genuine nice person who truly cares about making your day spectacular. Looking forward to planning this special day with them.

My October wedding was an absolute dream and I must thank Celebrations for being the biggest part of that dream. Celebrations has been in business for over 25 years and that is evident from the moment you work with them. They are true professionals and wedding experts that have seen every scenario and possible wedding flub, and they know how to handle it all. Despite that, you never get the sense that the staff is jaded- they all truly seem passionate about their jobs and genuine in wanting each bride and groom live out their dream wedding day. Marie-Elise was my Wedding Coordinator, and as stated in multiple reviews, she is wonderful. She is accessible and responsive, knowledgeable, gives great tips, and is extremely calming even to the most anxious bride. One of my biggest concerns during my wedding planning process, was that there was going to be a ceremony just one hour before mine in the outdoor pavilion. Would there be enough time to take down the other decorations, put mine up, and allow my guests sufficient time to be seated? Marie- Elise assured me there would be absolutely no hiccups, and that they had done this time and time again, and had the team to accomplish it. She was so right. I truly didn't even see the other wedding party and even forgot another wedding was held at the same place an hour before mine. The outdoor wedding was so beautiful and romantic, especially set against the evening sky. There were heatlamps to keep everyone warm and the lighting was perfect. To this day, guests still tell me how gorgeous the ceremony was.
My husband and I were also given a Wedding Captain- her name escapes me but she was awesome. She made sure we were fed, had drinks in hand when we needed it, and even made sure to put my flat shoes under my chair for when my feet became uncomfortable in heels. Our Maître'd Patricia was also fantastic in answering questions and making sure the night ran smoothly. I didn't eat very much (too excited!) but everyone told me the food during cocktail hour and dinner was excellent.
There are a couple things that I wish ran better, but nothing that ruined the night for me as I was way too happy. One thing that was really important to me was that there was lots of time for dancing- we even cut out a lot of "standard" reception events to allow for this: no parent dances, just 2 short speeches, no tossing of the bouquet, etc. However, the serving of the salad and dinner took quite some time, and the DJ was advised not to play dance music until meals were all served. By that time, there was only 1.5 hours left for dancing, which was less than I wanted. There were also points that some of my guests could hear loud/fun dance music from the wedding on the other side of the wall and said they wished they could join in on the other wedding- I know this is inevitable when two weddings are going on at once, but that isn't something you want to hear from your guests. Also, the bar is outside of the banquet room, so sometimes groups of people will gather by the bar and miss the actual reception.
In the grand scheme of things, all the drawbacks were minor as I still had the best night of my life. It was a beautiful, romantic night filled with love and the staff is efficient, hard working and kind. I would recommend Celebrations to brides looking for a lovely wedding that will not break the bank. Celebrations, thank you again! I will treasure my memories at your venue for the rest of my life!

Our wedding was this past Sunday at Celebrations. We cannot say enough good things about the staff at Celebrations. From our first impressions walking into the lobby, to our first meeting with Marie Elise, we knew this was the place we would choose. Marie Elise was my contact person and she was so enthusiastic about planning the wedding and making sure everything was perfect. She offered advise and recommendations when needed, which helped me make decisions about items I was considering and came up with great suggestions for things I never even thought of. The staff on the day of the ceremony was amazing. Jessie was our Maitre'd, and she had everything so under control, there wasn't a glitch the whole day. You know how they say in sports, if you don't notice the referees they are doing a great job, same here. I didn't see Jessie much, though I actually didn't see lots that went on, but she was always there keeping the entire event moving smoothly. The wait staff was amazing. Mary, was our Captain for the night. She is absolutely the best!!! She was there when we needed or wanted something but she never hovered, no small feat of balancing!!! My cousin, who travels the world and experiences many high end places, was majorly impressed with her performance. Everyone on staff was friendly, helpful and professional all night long, no matter who I was interacting with.
The food was amazing. Naturally, I never got to the cocktail hour, but the raves keep coming in, and from what I hear there wasn't much left to be cleaned up!! The dinner consisted of Italian wedding soup (people are trying to get the recipe!!), the salad and dressing and the entrees. We had a choice of 3. The steak, Tres Filet medallions, was the best, everyone says it was delicious and so tender. The chicken, Chicken Sinese, was amazing. That was my selection and I loved it. The salmon with wine and dill, was a large filet and was raved about all night.
Frank, the owner, was hands on and made sure we were happy and well taken care of. I had been hearing great things about Celebrations, but I have to say, they were way better than even the best review I heard!!! They made our wedding the dream day it is supposed to be and more!!!

Celebrations was an amazing place to get married. I am so glad that we stumbled upon this facility! The grounds and facility were perfect for our style. The staff was super sweet and easy to deal with. My husband and I got married on Sept 30, 2016 and it was the best day ever. Our guests continue to rave about it when we see all of them. We had Derek as our Maître D and he was so wonderful and we were so thrilled we had him!
The only negative thing about our experience - which was actually a huge one - was that they did not tell us that we weren't allowed to use real candles inside. We mentioned every time we were there that we were not doing the traditional flower centerpieces for the reception and that we were doing candles. It was not until 2 weeks prior when we met with Marie Elise that she happened to stumble upon the fact to tell us we cannot use real candles. We had bought hundreds of candles and candle holders that spent months to get. We had to change our whole centerpieces days before the wedding. This cost so much money it makes me sick and so much extra time and stress. This should be mentioned at the tour of the facility.

My wedding was October 16th 2016. I just returned from my honeymoon and this is one of the first things I wanted to do when we got back! I went to at least five different venues when looking for the perfect place but when I stepped into Celebrations I knew it was MY place! Marie Elsie our coordinator was so helpful and knowledgeable and anything I needed to know or questions big and small she had all the answers. I can't describe how flawless our wedding day was or how beautiful everything turned out from the food to the service it was AMAZING! Both our ceremony and reception was held there with a cocktail hour and an open bar, butlered hors' d ouveres, and sit down dinner service. Our guests could not stop talking about our wedding and we were so happy with everything both Marie Elise and our wedding captain Jess did for us on our special day! This place gets top notch marks in my eyes and Frank the owner is a great guy with a great place.

The first thing on our list after I proposed was a wedding/reception venue and went with our first choice - Celebrations. I didn't know where to begin with this task, so I started doing my research and we set out to look at a couple different places. We ended up driving by Celebrations just to get a look and the allowed us to come in, event though we didn't have an appointment. Denyse was awesome and had us sold on the place before we left. We had so many questions about a wedding and she was able to answer all of our questions in a light professional manner. She made us feel welcomed and special . We have since chosen other vendors and Celebrations and Denyse have been exceptional at coordinating with them. I am excited that I can just enjoy my day and know that everything is under control. Oh and The Knot website has been great too!!!

Our daughters reception was held at this gorgeous venue June of 2016. Our experience, from the moment visiting the facility through the reception, has been nothing but exceptional. The entire staff was extremely helpful and courteous, limousine service prompt and patient, food incredible, music fantastic, everyone working together to make our daughters reception so "magical". It was truly an event to remember!! Some of our friends are still talking about it. So thank you celebrations for a wonderful, classy, and elegant night!

wedding for a long time to come! We are so happy that we can make a lasting impression like this. We were happy to serve you.

This passed Sunday I the honor of marrying my best friend at Celebrations.
I was up all night as I was worried of how everything would turn out? What will my guest think? How will we be treated? Will my guest enjoy dinner?
Well I must say I was up all night worried for nothing!
On December 2015, I made an appointment to check out the venue with Marie Elise to see the location. When me and my fiance walked out we were mesmerized by how elegant the location looked. Marie Elise gave us the tour and explained how we would have a captain for him and I on the day of the wedding, and a matréde.
Mary was our captain and she was phenomenal! Her vibe was so bubbly she made me feel as if I've known her forever and she wanted nothing but the best for us on our wedding day.
Patricia was our matrěde, and although she is six months pregnant she would not stop running around to assure all our guest were comfortable. I had a guest who I thought was a vegetarian and turned out she was a vegan so Patricia made sure my guest had dinner as she asked the chef to prepare her something she could eat.
It's now 4 days after our wedding and I'm still hearing from our guest how our wedding was "romantic, breathtaking, and,elegant ". They loved the food, and our signature drink.
Overall what put the cherry on top for me was how my daughter's were treated. I have a 2 and a 5 year old and they made them feel just as important as they made me and my husband feel.
With that being said, I'd like to say Thank you to Marie Elise and the Celebrations family.

On October 9, 2016 we had our 2nd daughter's wedding at this amazing facility. Right from the start, dealing with Frank, and the rest of the staff were not only professional and helpful, but so easy to deal with! Our Captain, Destiny and Matrai'D Derrick were right by our sides making certain everything was O.K. Compliments from our guests were constant! They just loved the meals and stated that they never had such great food and service at any other affair they ever went too. My daughter and her new husband were just thrilled with the way it turned out and couldn't have been happier. Celebrations is a class act and provides the ultimate care in providing an affair that is top notch. They are always there to help in any and all questions you may have in the planning stages. Frank and his staff can arrange for any type of affair you are planning to have. There is no need to spend huge amounts of time in searching for a fabulous venue. You have found it with Celebrations! We have enjoyed this worry free experience and know that Celebrations will be our choice for any affairs we may have in the future. We consider Frank and his entire staff as family, because this is how they all make you feel! Many thanks again to everyone involved in making this day so special for everyone.

I attended a friends wedding last week and I have to say this was the best wedding I have EVER been to. My fiance and I were treated like it was our wedding and we were just guests. The food is out of this world and in cocktail hour I never had to look for food, it came right to us. The bar was top shelf and it was open the entire night, the bartenders were awesome and we never had to wait for a drink. It was a sit-down dinner and it went so fast. I didn't feel like we were waiting hours for the dinner service to end. It was course after course and it was so delicious. It was perfect, then we danced the night away. My fiance and I talked and we decided to also get married at Celebrations because we just knew it was the right place for us. We will not have to worry about a thing because they cover it all. We already spoke with Frank over the phone and he is making this so easy already. We can't wait to take this journey with Celebrations. If you are still looking at venues definitely go see them. You will not be disappointed.

I had my wedding at Celebrations 2 weeks ago and my family and friends could not stop talking about how amazing it was. From the planning process to the day of the event, the staff at Celebrations were super helpful and nice and very patient. I had Denyse as our wedding coordinator and she was awesome. Denyse always answered all of my questions in a timely manner (cant' remember how many lengthy emails that i wrote her). Not only Denyse but Frank and Marie (the other two contact people at the venue) were very nice and helpful. They were always willing to help and make suggestions to make the wedding run smoothly. On my wedding day, Denyse was sick so Frank and Marie came to my bridal suite to say congrats and they had a big smile on their faces. They made me feel very special The venue was gorgeous. Food was awesome. The venue did add an extra Asian stir fry station for free during the cocktail hour because I told Denyse that my family does not like American food. On the wedding day, they surprised us again by adding extra hot hors-d'oeuvre during the cocktail hours because we had so many guests coming. I was touched. My Maitre'D was Gloria and she was very kind. She brought up plenty of food and drinks for the bridal party and family members as well. Derek was also great. He helped out during dinner hours and made sure that my husband and I were comfortable and happy with the food and drink. Many people in my family do not like American food, but they said the food at Celebrations was good. I had many people come to us to tell us that it is the best wedding they have ever attended. The staff at Celebrations helped to make my dream wedding come true. My husband and I had a great time at the wedding and enjoyed the beautiful pictures we took at Celebrations. We will definitely choose Celebrations again for the future weddings in our family.

My fiancé and I went to take a tour of this venue. Because of the weather we were. An hour late, when we got there Marie introduced herself. She was very rude. And basically suggested that we should not have a wedding there. Our date was already booked and didn't not try to even consider working with us on a different date and pushed us out.
I would never recommend a place where you are willing to spend so much money and the "sales manager" is very rude.riseThe place looks like a cemetery too.
response 10/13/2016
We are sorry you feel this way. Our dates do reserve very fast because our prices are very...
affordable. We always take our time with our clients and are very respectful. We have lots of pictures online and I know a cemetery is not something anyone has ever compared us to. We are sorry you could not reserve here with us at Celebrations.
