INCREDIBLE VENUE! My sister just got married here and everything was perfect. This venue is ideal…read morebecause: - It has a house for the bridal party to get ready in (we had 9 bridesmaids and there was plenty of room for hair and makeup) - Picture perfect outdoor ceremony spot (and a backup indoor spot as well) - A patio for cocktail hour with beautiful views of the property - The barn itself is just amazing on its own - Easy accessibility with the option to have a golf cart transport guests if needed, this was very important to us as we wanted all of our guests to be comfortable They have really thought of every single detail with this venue. The day went so smoothly thanks to their on-site coordinator and all of our guests were extremely impressed with the venue. 10/10 would recommend!

First visit to try out their wines. Very pleasant surroundings and really unique tasting room…read morethat's in house that's been converted. Feels very homey. Service was friendly and I think overall the prices here are reasonable. Was not big on their whites - they were a bit to austere for our taste. The grunier vetliner holds promise but it's missing some of that wonderful pepper spicy note that you typically get. On the red side, they're entry-level wine, which is Redbone was actually our favorite kind of a pizza style light red. I also thought the title, which is there biggest red was pretty decent and they had a new release which I didn't catch the name of but tasted, and it was a Good one as well. Knocked on some cheese and bread with a music in the background and a beautiful deck. A worthwhile destination on a beautiful Saturday

During my day trip to Lancaster Central Farmers Market, I visited the Southern Market Lancaster…read morefood hall for the first time, located in a historic building in downtown Lancaster. There is even a concierge there to answer any questions about services or restaurants, perhaps because the building once housed the Lancaster Visitors Center. A charming place with international cuisine, including Indian, Greek, Jamaican, Asian, and Moroccan, to name a few. The food hall is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Lancaster has plenty of affordable parking in the Hager lot or several parking garages. I find using a parking App helpful.

We used Excelsior for both our ceremony, our cocktail hour, and our reception for our wedding on…read moreMay 2nd 2025. I found Excelsior by accident, after having nearly put in a deposit for another location. I set up a tour after finding them through my photographer and ended up falling in love. As someone who looked at both very outdoorsy locations and very industrial locations, this was the perfect combination of the two things that I was looking for. Excelsior was the right spot for me from the beginning, as you walk in, the building give the most breathtaking contrast of old vs new, with greenery and plants lining the walls, the terrace, and the sunken gardens. There are lots of options for both indoor and outdoor events, or in our case the combination of both. We opted to be married in front of the large greenery walls, with our cocktail hour in the catacombs and sunken gardens, and then our reception in the Grande Salon. We ended up using the Empire Room upstairs for some of my bridal shots and the street view for pictures. Don't worry, we used it all! I also wanted to mention the beautiful getting ready suite for the bridal party which is very spacious and easily fit us (approximately 10+ people at a time) and the incredibly clean and spacious bathrooms. Beyond the beautiful venue, the staff was genuinely a joy to work with. My primary contact was Kaitlyn who is the Director of Catering for Excelsior. She was so knowledgeable, prepared, and fun to work with. She also gave us lots of ideas and allowed us to customize a lot of things to make it uniquely us. That woman is a miracle worker- she even figured out how to get me things I missed at the cocktail hour (long after it ended) and gave my husband recipes from their kitchen because he LOVED the food so much. When I tell you that every person at our wedding commented how beautiful Excelsior was, how kind and organized the staff was, and how incredible the food was- I mean it. Every single person! I even had quite a few people from the catering and restaurant industry who all said it was marvelous. I couldn't have picked a better place for our wedding. It was truly a masterpiece! I could not recommend Excelsior more.
