We recently had our wedding reception in the Foundry Ballroom at Wind Creek, and it was absolutely perfect! We were very lucky to get to work with Nick Schlegel from start to finish. He ensured that every detail for our event was perfect. Nick went above and beyond to make the day easy and stress free. He stayed in frequent communication with us in the days and months leading up to our event to ensure that everything was in order. The team at Wind Creek was very accommodating and honored all of our special requests. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and about how beautiful the venue was. Everyone also enjoyed going to the hotel bar immediately after the reception for the after party. Everything was incredibly convenient for us and our guests. It was truly the best day! If you get to work with Nick, you won’t be disappointed!

We had our ceremony, cocktail hour & reception at Hotel Bethlehem and it couldn’t have been more perfect!! The venue is so beautiful and our guests loved having the whole night in one place without needing to travel to multiple locations… and staying at the hotel was super helpful too! Emilie was absolutely amazing to work with! She made sure we had everything we asked for. The whole staff was so friendly and made sure we had the perfect day! Highly recommend :)

I have been performing weddings at Sayre Mansion since the 1990s. No matter the season or the couple, the weddings at Sayre are lovely, the couples well attended to by the staff and the facility, a graceful step back in time. Flowers, lawns, trees overlook Historic Bethlehem and beautifully decorated rooms make for a picturesque backdrop for photos, ceremonies and family reunions. The staff attends to whatever needs arise. The dining room is beautifully decorated with elegantly dressed tables. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend Sayre Mansion for weddings and vow renewals.

I married my husband, Brandon, in late October this past year and we celebrated our Reception at the Wilbur Mansion with Rebecca Ciraco and Christy Jackson as our two right-hand people. Rebecca, our main contact at the Wilbur Mansion, was incredibly kind, patient, and fun to collaborate with. From the moment we met to sign the contract to the final menu selections weeks before the big day, Brandon and I loved working alongside her. Christy managed our event: she handled our signature drink, the linen colors, the layout, and any other little details at the venue. On the wedding day, Christy was the most consistent part of our reception. She made sure we were in the right places at the right times, she bustled my dress with safety pins (when we couldn’t find the little loops and buttons), she took care of talking to our DJ and communicating with staff for us, and she even made sure there was a plate of hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table so that we could eat after our photography session! She checked in on us throughout the event and she made the whole evening a BREEZE. Brandon and I are so incredibly thankful for Rebecca and Christy’s attention and help through our planning process and the event itself-- we truly felt so taken care of and carefree. The Wilbur Mansion is a STUNNING venue, but what truly makes it special is its team. Additionally, the Wilbur has so many beautiful places for photo ops, an excellent staff, and the food was OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS. Guests came up to me complimenting the hors d'oeuvres and meals all night at the Reception. Even now, months later, I still have friends recounting our wedding day and how wonderful the food was! Not only that, but hosting an event at the Wilbur Mansion was also a fair price. I can confidently recommend the Wilbur Mansion to anyone looking for an elegant backdrop for their event!
