Lake Raystown Resort

Jenn, Dan, and the whole staff from Lake Raystown Resort went above and beyond throughout the entire wedding planning process, leading up to a perfect weekend that was run so smoothly for both the bridal party and guest experience! We were unsure about what the planning process would look like being from out-of-state and having a larger family & bridal party to account for. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to answer a million questions over the past year was nothing short of heroic! From setup to teardown, I had so many people come up to me afterward and share their gratitude for their abilities to work alongside them and somehow be everywhere we needed at once and still think of all the little details like timing each couple as they walked down the aisle and making sure the bride and groom got to eat throughout the whole night. Some of our absolute favorite moments from the weekend came from the unexpected things they helped us problem-solve, such as holding down the aisle with the cornhole bags due to the wind and even letting us put a veil on the moose in the Full Moon Lounge! Their responsiveness and flexibility ahead of time via email and calls allowed us to come in feeling totally prepared and knowing that we could place all of the decorations and florals in custom locations where they would be enjoyed by everyone. Every one of our vendors was so appreciative of how easy it was to have what they needed to pull off such a magical day. When I would mention we were going to be at Lake Raystown Resort, every single one was excited to work with them because of the beautiful location and ease of communication. We chose a buffet package with seriously delicious and unique food (grilled cheese with tomato soup shooters as a late-night snack!) and were still able to accommodate our guests with dietary restrictions. Having the BYOB alcohol policy was cost-effective and allowed us to customize our bar to knowing what guests would like. We were even able to set up outside yard games alongside the smores station which was a huge hit with guests of all ages who needed a break from dancing! The Villas and Lodge Rooms were the perfect places to stay to get ready and make memories by the campfire, the beauty of this place cannot be understated as we held our ceremony on the back terrace and have beautiful pictures with friends and family overlooking the lake just as spring was beginning to remember it all! Dan and Jenn are simply the best at what they do - give them a call to learn more and you will be so grateful you did!

Lake Raystown Resort was the perfect location for our wedding weekend. We accommodated our guests for a 3-day weekend all at the Resort, and everyone commented on how beautiful the setting was and how good the food was. Dan and Jenn are wonderful and extremely helpful through the process of wedding planning. It's an extremely peaceful and beautiful wedding venue and I highly recommend it to anyone in central PA or looking for a destination wedding, like we did!
