Excelsior, a national historic landmark located in downtown Lancaster, has been meticulously restored by owners Kelly and John to become a unique wedding venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces. Despite being one of the newer venues in the area, it has quickly become prominent in the local wedding scene. The venue spans four floors, each offering a distinct setting: the Catacombs in the basement for indoor cocktail hours, the outdoor Courtyard, the Grande Salon on the main floor for celebrations, the Empire Room on the second floor ideal for dinners and ceremonies, and the attic on the third floor, which, while unfinished, offers a beautifully lit space for photography. This variety of spaces, combined with convenient parking and its historic charm, makes Excelsior a versatile and sought-after wedding venue.
