Planning a wedding around Harrisburg means choosing between a downtown cathedral and parish churches, historic mansions along the Susquehanna, Hershey's grand hotels and gardens, golf and country clubs, and barns and farms across Cumberland, Perry and Lebanon counties. This guide covers 128 wedding venues in 27 towns, from downtown Harrisburg and the riverfront out to Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, Hershey, Palmyra, Lebanon and the farm country around Newville and Millerstown. You'll find churches, halls, hotels and resorts, barns and farms, and the parks and state forests where couples go for their wedding photos and video.

Many couples here hold a church wedding ceremony in the afternoon and a reception at a hall, club or barn that evening. Others want everything in one place, and plenty of the venues on this list can host your ceremony, your pictures and your reception on the same property. Traffic on the river bridges and around Hershey on event weekends can be heavy, so check drive times between your ceremony and your reception.

Use the filters to narrow the list by type of venue or by town. Each venue has its own page with a description, contact details and directions, and real wedding photos and videos from local photographers and videographers as they add their work.

Church wedding venues in the Harrisburg area

A church wedding ceremony is a strong tradition around Harrisburg. Downtown, the Cathedral Parish of Saint Patrick and St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral stand near the Capitol, and historic churches in Carlisle, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Hershey and Lebanon add their own character. Many Catholic parishes ask you to get in touch well ahead and complete marriage preparation, and some churches welcome only members, so call early and ask.

Banquet halls and event centers for your wedding reception

Harrisburg's halls and historic spaces give a reception a real sense of place. Couples choose riverfront mansions, museums such as the National Civil War Museum and the AACA Museum, restored mills and warehouses in Carlisle and Lebanon, and banquet halls that handle dinner and dancing for large guest lists.

Barn, farm and winery wedding venues

For a country wedding, head west into the Cumberland Valley, north into Perry County or east toward Lebanon. Barns, farms and estates around Carlisle, Newville, Mechanicsburg, Millerstown, Palmyra and Hershey host ceremonies on their grounds and receptions in restored barns, often with everything on one property.

Hotel, club and resort wedding venues

Hotels, resorts and clubs keep the day easy for guests coming from out of town. The Hotel Hershey, Hershey Lodge, downtown Harrisburg hotels and Allenberry Resort in Boiling Springs handle the ceremony, reception and guest rooms in one place, and country clubs across the region add golf-course views.

Parks and gardens for your ceremony and wedding photos

Parks give your wedding photos room to breathe. Riverfront Park along the Susquehanna, Capitol Park, Italian Lake, Wildwood Park, Hershey Gardens and the state parks at Pine Grove Furnace, Colonel Denning and Little Buffalo offer water, woods and gardens. Many need a permit for ceremonies or group photos, so check before you plan.

Next: find someone who has worked at your venue

Once you have a venue in mind, look for photographers and videographers who have already worked there. They'll know where the light falls in the church, how long the drive across the river really takes, and which spots on the grounds work best for wedding photos and video. Every venue page shows the local photographers and videographers with work from that place.
