Excelsior: A Multifaceted Dream Venue in Lancaster

As Lancaster wedding cinematographers, one of our favorite wedding venues in Pennsylvania is Excelsior; a romantic, intentionally designed space in downtown Lancaster.  A national historic landmark, Excelsior is composed of breathtaking spaces, each thoughtfully crafted for an unforgettable wedding day experience.  From the Grand Salon’s sweeping staircase to the Terrace’s two-story industrial beams and the Garden Courtyard’s lush green plant life, Excelsior is a refreshingly diverse space.  We love the variety in composition it brings when filming the wedding day.  

When considering a downtown venue, the outdoor space is typically irrelevant, yet this gem has multiple outdoor areas that provide provoking backdrops for the bride and groom and their guests.  

The catacombs speak to another time and place. Their rounded walls and arched ceilings create a room altogether unique; it is intimate, elegant, and even mystical.  The guest may ask himself, “what have these rooms witnessed?” or “who has walked these passages?”. It really is timeless.  

Excelsior mixes industrial and glamourous, historic and modern for a most exquisite experience.  It is definitely worth checking out, and even may be where you decide to celebrate your wedding day!
