Question

What is the Excelsior?

Answer

Our venue, originally known as "the Sprenger Brewery," was built between 1852 and 1873 and has a rich history. It was initially designed as an events hall for people to gather and connect. In 1905, it was transformed into a furniture store, which operated until 1978. The building remained vacant for nearly 40 years before being beautifully restored in 2015 into a modern, 21st-century events hall. Located within walking distance of downtown Lancaster, we absolutely love this industrial-chic space and are thrilled to celebrate our big day here with YOU!
