“The food was amazing. They provided the linen, plates, utensils and some of the decor. You get a suit the night of the wedding included. The room for the bride and bridal party to get ready in is gorgeous. The banquet room is very spacious. We had a wonderful wedding here.”
“We were so thankful that Wyndham Garden. Stepped in when our rehearsal plans fell through from our previous vendor closing. We had a perfect time, the event was beautiful and the service was excellent, in the end I think it was better than what we had planned!”
Wedding of my dreams
“Everything I pictured my wedding to be is exactly how it was. Maryann Fischer was an absolute asset to everything and we are incredibly thankful for her and her hard work. She was always so responsive when I had a million and one questions/requests while being friendly, patient, and helpful. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The ballroom was decorated beautifully and the complimentary wedding suite was amazing. The courtyard was beautiful as well. I cannot have asked for a more perfect wedding and the Wyndham Gardens and Maryann were to thank for that. I highly recommend.”
Fantastic event in 4 weeks
“What can I say but THANK YOU! A last minute decision to have a wedding we contacted Wyndam Garden to find out that they had a room available to accommodate us! Maryann was WONDERFUL to work with! She’s personable and truly thought of everything! She went above and beyond to keep the entire process on schedule, and the evening of the wedding she was right there making sure things went smooth and they did! It was really an amazing event! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! ~xoxo~”
I dream come true
“Our wedding was suppose to be held outside in the garden but unfortunately you can’t stop rain from happening. Maryann and her staff was wonderful how they transform the ballroom so we can have a beautiful wedding!”
Wedding Nov 2021
“The event staff was absolutely amazing to work with. They went above and beyond everything we could’ve asked for ❤️”
It was a very good experience
“Mary Ann was great to work with! She helped us plan our from start to finish exactly how we wanted it. The day of staff was also very helpful. We didn’t have any issues with meals or the bar. Our package included the cake and cupcakes as well…they were amazing and people loved them. The whole night we were getting comments from our guests about how accommodating the staff was and how nice the venue itself was. I would recommend them for your wedding!”
Great Option for Wedding Room Blocks
“I dealt with the Wyndham Garden in your for a recent wedding. Their Customer Service for booking a block of rooms was excellent from start to finish. Their sales ream was very professional and always willing to help. Our guest were very pleased with their accommodations and commented on how beautiful the hotel was.”
Wedding Reception
“We were very pleased with how Wyndham Gardens and especially Mary Ann Fisher handled my daughter’s wedding. They went above and beyond with the details surrounding the big event. During this time with covid, we had to change the date. The Crystal Ballroom looked beautiful and classy. The staff was courteous and friendly. The food was phenomenal. So many people came up to me and told how much they enjoyed their meal. We had a few vegetarians attending and they all loved their meals. I was grateful for that. My daughter and son-in-law had a fabulous and memorable time that night. Everything went as planned. I would definitely book another event here.”
Amazing Experience!
“Wyndham Garden is THE place for weddings in central PA. Everything you could possible need – a place to get ready, breakfast and dinner, a bar, reception venue, ceremony venue, accommodations, catering, amazing pastries/cake and the best staff all at your finger tips!!! Mary Ann is an absolute pleasure to work with — her expertise and kindness is second to none.”
Above and Beyond, Service that needs recognized!
“Where do I start. Our Wedding had been Canceled due to covid two days before our big day. My Wife decided we still wanted to elope with a small amount of family and close friends. Our Family and friends were already supposed to be staying at the Wyndham Garden in York. We contacted Mary Ann on Thursday morning and asked if we could elope there in the ball room. She said absolutely! And immediately jumped to help get things in order. From getting the ballroom prepared, to Food, Dessert and even helping us set up a bartender for the day. We did a full walk through with her the day before. She Helped our family set up the room on Friday night. She was the first person to greet us on Saturday morning to kick things off and stayed throughout the whole process to ensure things went smoothly. She went above and beyond and made our wedding day truly special. It was beautiful and intimate. Something we did not expect to receive with such short notice. the Service was above and beyond and we truly recommend the Wyndham for any future needs especially Mary Ann and Lisa!”
Wyndham Garden York
“It was a great venue they really worked with us and helped us. They also answered any questions we had with good answers and on time.”
Amazingly Beautiful
“Our experience was nothing short of amazing! In just 48 hours, Wyndham put on a beautiful wedding and reception! All of the staff went above and beyond with any and all requests. The food was delicious. The venue was gorgeous and the staff even helped us decorate! Their attention to detail was truly heart touching. We can’t say enough about the location or the staff!”
Wonderful team
“Mary was wonderful and we had slot of fun with her. She even got to dance with us. They food was amazing and made our day perfect. Our kids wanna go back to swim. IM really happy we picked this place to hold our wedding”
Excellent Service
“Everything was perfect!! Staff was so very helpful and were there for anything that we needed!! Food was amazing, cake was amazing, and service outstanding!!!”
Great venue
“We had a blast at our wedding! Even with all the craziness with Covid and all the new rules, Mary Ann was the absolute best and is the biggest reason why our wedding went so smoothly until the very end. She is like family to us now! The food was fabulous, especially the chicken bruschetta…and I don’t even really like chicken! All in all, the only complaint I would have is it was extremely warm in the reception room, even with the staff constantly turning the temp down. We also went to Cousler Park to take our pictures before the ceremony, which is only 10 minutes away, as Wyndham didn’t have the exact picturesque scenery that we were looking for.”
“My wife and I got marriered here in October 2019. This venue was amazing and made us so happy. Mary Ann helped us every step of the way and felt like a member of the family. Stills feels like she is family to this day. The rooms are beautiful and clean. Our reception was in the crystal ball room and it could not have been more perfect. We constantly get compliments on our photos and all guests still talk about how nice it was. We loved it so much that we plan on staying here from time to time just to relive the moments. You will not be disappointed in this location, the staff, or the food. Mary Ann and her team went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect.”
Fantastic place for a wedding!
“Extremely friendly staff, great atmosphere, and very accommodating!”
Everything I hoped for and more!
“From the planning meetings to the day of, Mary Ann and the staff at the Wyndham Garden Hotel went above and beyond to make our day so special and happen so smoothly! The wedding package was well worth it. We didn’t have a big family to help us set up our wedding, so that was a big reason why we went with the Wyndham Garden Hotel. They took care of setting everything up for us and made everything so easy! We dropped everything off on Friday night and when we saw the venue the day of, I was blown away with what they did with our decorations and flowers. They made the already beautiful ballroom into my dream wedding! I even dropped off the flowers and greenery for my cake the morning of and they created the most perfect cake for us. My bridal party stayed in a suite while my groom and groomsmen used the Keystone Room. Both had plenty of space for my bridal party (we had 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen). We got ready at the hotel, did our ceremony in the beautiful courtyard outside, and had our reception in the Crystal Ballroom. Our wedding day was perfect and we could not have asked for a more friendly and helpful staff. I was not stressed in the least bit, knowing that Mary Ann and the Wyndham staff had everything coordinated to perfection!”
Wedding of our dreams and more
“My wedding was what I dreamed of and more because of the Wyndham. Mary Ann was AMAZING to work with! She always checked on us and made sure everything ran smoothly. Liz the food and beverage manager WAS OUTSTANDING! She always was checking on me and my husband and also my family making sure we had what we needed and the food was to our standards. The FOOD was AMAZING! Everyone at the wedding and rehearsal raved about the FOOD AND the rooms! DEFINITELY going down as 10 stars in our books. This place is DEFINITELY the place you want to have your wedding or party at. They pay attention to details and make sure you are taken care of!”
Wonderful to work with!
“The staff went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend perfect from beginning to end!”
“The first consultant we had, talked a big game but than did not follow through. The second one that came in to clean up the mess was very helpful and more than compensating. She was always willing to go the extra mile for us and spent a lot of time making our day perfect. She was fun and easy to talk to and work with. The day of coordinator was perfect right from the start. She led our rehearsal dinner and made each of my bridal party members feel welcomed and important. She did a beautiful job of organizing and was absolutely amazing!”
“Rasheeda Martin was fabulous! She made anything we asked for a possibility! She went above and beyond oir expectations. This venue is great for a wedding with a large amount of guests. With the newly remodeled patio cocktail hour was perfect!”
“Rasheeda Martin, Social Sales Manager is THEE BEST! She went above and beyond for my husband and myself! Very professional, yet so personable. She made our wedding ceremony and reception perfect! She added special touches that we just LOVED! If anyone is planning an event…call her-I don’t think I ever met or will meet again a sales manager that excels at her job like Rasheeda. You can tell she truly cares…she’s not just “doing her job”. Shout out to Donna Smith-Lentz, Michele Febres and Meesh (sp)? You are all AWESOME!!! I can’t say enough about the whole experience…A++++ Can’t begin to express our gratitude!!! So many of our guests commented on the facility, the décor and the professionalism of the staff. Rasheeda, your staff under the direction of you made a special day PERFECT! Thank you again!”
“Our experience with the Wyndham Garden was fantastic! With the help of our wedding coordinator, Rasheeda Martin, we had a gorgeous wedding! Her help, calm demeanor & experience gave us the confidence that we were in good hands! It turned out beautifully!”
“This venue was the best choice that my husband and I could have made. They took care of everything for us and they were more than happy to do what made us happy. We did not feel stressed one bit during the whole wedding process because we knew that it was being taken care of by the staff at the Wyndham Garden. Also, what better option than to have a gorgeous venue and then have your guests be able to stay over night? Wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience and reception!!”
“When we looked at Wyndham and saw the Crystal Ballroom, I fell in love instantly. I told the husband that we must book here! Wyndham was absolutely beautiful and the perfect location for our wedding. It was newly renovated which made me love it even more. The bridal suite was also renovated and it included a mini fridge, a LARGE floor to ceiling mirror, a beauty table and a bathroom with a sliding door. Lunch was brought to us as we were getting ready and the hotel provided the champagne glasses for our mimosas. The Crystal Ballroom is where we held both the ceremony and reception. There are beautiful crystal chandeliers that you are able to change the lighting color (blue, purple, red, etc.), a spacious bar with stone wall on both sides and a dance floor. The cocktail hour was held in the Courtyard where the indoor pool was located. There was a bar and plenty of cocktail tables to comfortably fit our 60 guests. The food is catered by Altland House and it was absolutely amazing! Everyone raved about the NY strip and the chocolate fountain we had. They not only provides our hors’ duerves and dinner, but our wedding cake as well. The staff was very attentive to our needs since we had some guests with food allergies. Our wedding day was everything I dreamed it could be! Thank you Wyndham for making our day a memorable one!”
“Kristina and the staff at the Wyndham were absoutely fantastic! From the initial meeting, the tasting and everything in between that led up to our big day, everything exceeded our expectations! The venue is gorgeous and there are many options for pictures throughout your event. We are so happy that we had our wedding reception at the Wyndham and our guests would agree!”
“They have been so easy to work with and very reasonable in price. I’m excited to get married and have our reception at the Wyndham.”
“We didn’t have an event at the Wyndham Garden, but we did choose it as our one and only hotel for our hotel wedding block. Kristina was awesome along the way – she answered any and all of our many questions, and gave us all the information needed to make the best choices for us and our guests. The rooms themselves could use a little work, but the public spaces (e.g. pools, poolside area, lobby and restaurant) throughout the hotel were fantastic. Kim and the hotel staff were incredibly accommodating for any and all of our needs during the entire weekend – we really can’t thank them enough.”
“Fabulous reception at the Wyndham! Kristina was awesome! She was very helpful and was a great communicator. The staff was polite and the food was tasty. I would recommend this venue!”
“I was extremely satisfy with my ceremony & reception, everything was so beautiful, decorations/ staff/ food, especially Kristina Schindler she’s very nice, patient , helpful a beautiful person overall. I definitely will do another special event there.”
“I cannot put into word how incredibly happy me, my husband and our families are with the service with received from the team at the Wyndham Garden for our wedding day. From the day we booked with them, we have been treated with nothing but the utmost respect and care for our needs. Kristina Schindler is one of the sweetest, friendliest people I have had the pleasure to meet. For the year we worked together planning my special day, she was on top of everything! Extremely organized and professional at all times. Yet at the same time she was laid back which made me feel welcomed. Whatever I wanted for the reception, she made it happen. She was always available to call or email when I had questions or concerns, especially as we got closer to the day! The night before the wedding I dropped off everything for the reception and explained to Kristina how I wanted it decorated. When I finally arrived I was absolutely ecstatic with how perfect everything looked. Not a thing was out of place! The entire team at the reception was great as well. So friendly and charming! There was always a server catering to the bridal party and making sure we always had a drink or anything else we needed. I could not imagine having my wedding reception at any other venue.”
“The Holiday Inn, York was exceptional for my daughter’s wedding reception. We received so many compliments on the décor and food presentation. Even the photographer raved about the salmon. The service from beginning to end was great. All of the guests were impressed. Kristina Schindler was a delight to work with and she was very responsive to every question and was present during the reception. It also did not go un-noticed that she wore attire to match the wedding party.”
“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful it was to have our wedding and reception at the Holiday Inn. Our coordinator was Kristina and she did a fantastic job! She made our day so special and the service and quality of food was just outstanding. They allow you a free night’s stay the night of your wedding and they gave us a beautiful suite for that, which proved to be a lovely room in which my bridal party and I got ready. If I could relive my entire wedding again, it would remain at the Holiday Inn.”
“Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to the staff at the Holiday Inn. Kristina was both readily available and extremely patient and the staff worked super hard on the day of the wedding to keep everything moving. The food was outstanding and we got tons of compliments on it. I recommend this place to everyone. You get a free night stay on the night of your wedding and the room was just stunning.”
“The day we first stepped into The Crystal Ballroom, we knew this was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding reception. It was great working with the wedding planner, Kristina, in planning the reception. We had peace of mind knowing that we were in fully competent hands and would not have to worry about anything; from setup to tear down and everything in between, the staff had it all covered. The room setup was absolutely beautiful. Service staff were courteous and attentive. The crab dip was amazing. The dinner was cooked to perfection and served promptly. Everything was executed exactly as planned and kept on schedule. We received so many compliments that evening. Thank you for being so accommodating, and a huge thank you to all the staff who worked behind the scenes to make this an incredibly wonderful, memorable evening for our daughter and her new husband! We are very grateful.”
“I cannot say enough for Holiday Inn! Our original reception venue closed 4 months before our wedding. In our search for a new venue, we skeptically stopped by the Holiday Inn. As soon as we saw the Grand Ballroom, we were happy that our original venue had closed! The space is gorgeous! Has stone walls that add great dimension, beautiful chandeliers, and wall sconces that give it a romantic feel. We wanted a space that had more natural light for the cocktail hour so we had that in the indoor pool area that is decorated with a tropical theme. It was perfect! The staff, service, and food were also amazing! Kristina, the wedding coordinator was phenomenal to work with! Very organized, professional, and available to help with anything and everything! HIGHLY recommend! Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be!”
“The Grand Ballroom was absolutely beautiful for our wedding reception! We had our cocktail hour in their indoor pool area which is nicely decorated and added a little something to our reception. We loved it and all of our guests are still raving about both areas! The staff was also awesome, especially Kristina, the wedding coordinator, who helped us plan our reception! Nothing but awesome reviews from us; we HIGHLY recommend it!!”
“Great place to have a wedding reception! We worked with Kristina and had our wedding in the new capital ballroom. They are flexible and will work to meet you needs. I would highly recommend them!”
“Everything was beautiful and just how I wanted it.”
“Couldn’t be happier with everything on my special day!! Thank you to all the staff and Kristina for making everything so perfect!”
“The Holiday Inn Conference Center of York was great to work with! They helped design what my now husband and I were looking to create! I hardly had to do anything except respond to their questions when they needed updated information! So professional, great food, and fantastic staff! I would do it all over again!”

“I had the pleasure of photographing a reception at The Wyndham Garden Hotel earlier this fall. I was literally speechless as I looked around at the room. The architecture & design of the reception hall is stunning- very unique decorations, interesting wall textures & treatments- it was beautiful! The staff was friendly & helpful- they even called me ahead of time to see if I needed anything from them upon my arrival. The food was delicious & everyone had a great time! I would love to shoot at The Wyndham Garden Hotel again & I highly recommend it for your reception.”
