Cork Factory Hotel

I hosted my best friend's bridal shower at the Baker's Table this past Saturday and from beginning to end, the coordinators and staff at the Cork Factory Hotel made this the best possible experience!! Keri, Erica, and their staff were quick and thorough with communication, planning, and executing the event! The lunch buffet was delicious, the space was beautiful, and the guests had a great time. Highly, highly recommend hosting your event here!

If you’re visiting the Lancaster area, especially the city this historic hotel is top notch and convenient to most areas. The service is first rate and the food in their restaurant is unbelievable. This hotel is highly recommended

What a beautiful location for a wedding! No matter what time of year, the Cork Factory is a beautiful spot for a ceremony and reception. The hotel (and grounds) have a modern and rustic feel with lots of spots for taking photos. There are so many nooks and crannies with lots of lighting options and different textures, which makes it a playground for photographers. The staff is amazing. We feel a part of a team working there and they always go out of their way to help make the day run as smoothly as possible. The location is great and has easy access to downtown Lancaster.

Great location to anything in the Lancaster PA region, comfortable rooms, clean, loved the bed and pillows, friendly welcome from ladies at desk and I enjoyed the 15ft+ ceilings on the 4th floor. Would stay again. Thank you!

Was a very good stay. Loved the old architectural beauty of this baby.
I do wish there was a little more sound deadening in between the walls; could hear individuals in the hallway while staying in the room.

Cork factory hosted our wedding reception and I was completely blown away by the professionalism, timeliness, ambiance, and kindness of the staff. Keri made sure that all the details were perfect and the staff was courteous and kind the entire night. The space we used (terrace & parlor) was decorated exactly how I pictured it. The food was outstanding! Not only was it presented beautifully, but it tasted AMAZING! The rooms were comfortable and unique. I cannot sing the praises of this venue enough! It made my wedding truly unforgettable and hassle free. I would recommend every aspect of this lovely establishment.

Our room was lovely - and clean. Attended a wedding here...service and food were exceptional. Only problem was finding the hotel on a dark, rainy night. I feel the signage needs to be bigger, brighter, clearer. Once in the parking lot we couldn't determine which door was the main entrance. By the way, we missed the wedding ceremony but made the reception. Great food and service, but we could not converse because the music was so loud.

Our friends had a wedding here and it was an excellent venue. Service was great, too.

Our Wedding DJs, AV Team, and Photo Booth staff love working at Cork Factory Hotel. From the extremely nice and outgoing staff to the picturesque venue and landscape, this is a top-ten wedding and event venue in the area.

This place is amazing! The industrial feel of this hotel is great. Hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Thanks for everything Derek!

GET MARRIED AT CORK FACTORY! We had the most stunning wedding on NYE at Cork Factory Hotel in Lancaster, PA! It was truly a night for the books and it’s all thanks to Mary Reachard 🤍 she planned it effortlessly from start to finish! The whole process at Cork is seamless, you have the different options for catering, menus, vendors etc! They give it all to you in a booklet which made it so much easier to follow long as the date got closer! They offer a tasting for couples getting married at Cork so that you are able to taste the food that will be served on your big day! The day of, Mary dropped off the flowers, made sure all the vendors knew where to be and everything ran so smoothly! If you can pick your wedding coordinator, pick Mary Reachard she is an absolute blast to be with and a joy to plan with 🤍🫶🏻🥹 Mary goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and I am happy to now call her a very close friend!

Very good stay! Sarah at the front desk was very helpful and professional. The room was very clean and Quiet! I highly recommend this hotel!!

Beautiful building and excellent service. Everything was warm, comfortable, and inviting. There was a wedding taking place in the ballroom when we arrived. Such a wonderful experience!

The reason why I booked the Cork Factory Hotel for my wedding largely was due to all of the amenities it came with. I didn’t have to worry about a different place for food and dessert vendors. I could stay on sight in the Hotel the night before and after. Everything about the venue just felt right.
When I met my Wedding Coordinator- Mary Reachard- I was so very impressed with the attention to detail and her overall calm “I got this” attitude. She made the planning process so fun! I felt beyond taken care of months before and the day of my Wedding.
I had my wedding on October 13th, 2023 and the whole day just felt perfect. I stayed in the bridal suite the night before and I rented both the Wedding Suite and The Billiards Suite for the bridal party to get ready in the morning of the wedding… talk about feeling like Royalty! If you have a large bridal party I would absolutely book the get ready suites for the space alone.
Be prepared for some wonderful customer service! I do not say that lightly! The week of my wedding I was in a total of 3 weddings and a MOH in one. My wedding went off so smoothly because I felt like I had a team following the timeline that Mary put forth. My friends who had their weddings at other locations did not have a team like me and they didn’t have a coordinator who communicated with them like mine and it showed. -During my one friend’s wedding her ceremony room wasn’t set up they way she had requested and she did not have anyone their to follow a timeline to make sure dances, speeches, etc. started at the right time so guests ending up waiting forever to eat. My bride friend’s stress level was way different compared to mine on my wedding day. - I attest my wonderful experience to Mary and the team at Cork Factory Hotel for listening and following through. You get what you pay for and they are worth every single penny!
I also want to give a huge shout out to Erin who takes care of the save the dates and invitations… she is so creative and made the picking and choosing process fun! Great Job Cork Factory Hotel Team! I feel so honored to have had such a perfect wedding thanks to you all.

TLDR: Wouldn’t have changed a thing

My husband and I were married at The Cork Factory in October and had an incredible experience with our coordinator Mary and the staff.
We arrived on Friday before the wedding where Mary led our Ceremony Rehearsal before our Rehearsal Dinner which took place in The Baker’s Table. The Rehearsal was quick and informative and I felt so confident in our practice that we were done within minutes.
During our Rehearsal Dinner we had the Crab Cakes & Rosemary Chicken and booked a two hour open bar. Having the dinner onsite made it so convenient for our family and friends because after checking into their hotel room, all they had to do was walk across the parking lot!
The service was so great and we loved having a special place for our pre-wedding event.

Saturday morning, our bridal party and family members met us in the Bridal Suite and Groom’s Suite. The Bridal Suite has a huge counter with a large mirror and the best selfie lighting. We fit 10 of us in the suite easily with all of our stuff and food. Looking back on our photos from the day, the suite was a perfect location for my getting ready photos as well!
The Groom’s Suite had a pool table, comfy couches, and a TV. We had at least 14 people in and out of the suite while getting ready and there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the morning.
We were blessed with rain on our wedding day and we were able to use the awning attached to the building for our First Look and Bridal Party photos.

The ceremony and reception were so well done that I can’t even think of a hiccup to write about. Mary and the team were so accommodating with our decor and non-traditional requests.
The food was delicious and we had the London Broil and Tuscan Chicken. Also our guests that chose the Vegan Meatloaf were raving about its flavor.
We were able to add a second bar to the terrace for Beer and Wine to help guests enjoy the evening and we think that was a great addition.
For dessert, we had the incredible cake by TCF (chocolate/vanilla & raspberry/lemon layers) and the buffet of chocolate chip cookies, whoopie pies, and oatmeal cream pies. To say these were a hit would be an understatement, the trays were completely clear by the end of the night and I still have family asking if we have extra for them.

At the end of the event, Mary and the staff packed all of our decor into one concise pile and we were able to load it into our car Sunday morning.

TCF works so well with other vendors (specifically 3West and Petals by Style) that our dance floor was full before dinner was done and centerpieces looked so elegant.

In regards to planning, I was completely impressed with the information we received from the team. We were able to attend the original tour, an open house with our family, and the Tasting Event where we got to enjoy the feeling of our wedding by sitting at the reception tables, listening to music, and trying all the food. It was the most well designed tasting experience I’ve seen.
Mary had multiple Zoom calls with us to ensure all our questions were answered and that we were aware of the decisions we needed to make (est guest count, food selection, cake design etc).
I know that our guests had an incredible time and I wouldn’t change a single thing from the event.
If you are looking for a high quality, and efficiently run business, don’t hesitate with The Cork Factory because they will be booked up!

To start, the Cork Factory Hotel is a really cool place. The lobby and surrounding areas are really clean and nice and the staff is absolutely great! The room was nice, very spacious and comfortable however it was a little warm and we couldn't get it to cool down to a more comfortable temperature; wasn't by any means a deal breaker but was a little discouraging. If you're looking for a place to have your wedding - this place was really awesome, my brother got married here and the wedding was great and the atmosphere of the service and reception was really great. Not sure how everything went from a Bride/groom point of view but from a groomsmen point of view it was great. Overall a cool place! Check it out!

It took me a long time to finish writing this review because I had so many high points of my experience with Cork Factory Hotel. First, when looking at different venues, Cork Factory Hotel stands out from the crowd. Kerri was a fantastic tour guide for the gorgeous venue and the photos speak for themselves. The wedding guides they provide make it really easy to run comparisons and figure out your estimated cost/budget right from the start, with clear prices per head and all taxes and fees included in those prices. We loved how beautiful the whole place was, and how everyone could stay right on-site in lovely rooms that were reasonably priced- with a free parking lot on site making that part a breeze for guests staying overnight and guests coming only for the wedding. Fast forward to booking and planning the remainder of the wedding. I was assigned Jennifer Noel as my coordinator and she could not have been nicer or more helpful through the whole process. With about year and a half to plan from the time I booked the venue, I sent emails to Jenn the whole time (usually when thoughts ran through my head on Friday nights- sorry about that Jenn), and I have no idea how she kept up with all the weddings happening that week and month and then mine that was far off in the distance but she maintained incredible files, answered all my questions, and knew exactly what was going on with my wedding all along. Cork Factory Hotel was really accommodating for everything we wanted to do and every idea we had. We held a meeting maybe 6 months pre-wedding where Jenn got a lot of information from us and let us know exactly what decisions were left to be made, and she very kindly accepted our decisions on a pretty rolling basis as we got our plans together. We loved the whole place so much that we held our rehearsal there too and Jenn was there to make sure everyone knew what to do for that night and for the wedding and keep it all running smoothly. For the day of the rehearsal and wedding, it made what would have otherwise been a lot of stress for me to gather all of our decorations and everything so easy. Jenn got the welcome bags from my mom and a huge box (maybe several) with all my decorations for the rehearsal and wedding, and I just needed to show up to the rehearsal and see everything looking incredible. Same for the wedding- Jenn and Cork Factory Hotel kept some flowers in vases from my rehearsal and had them all ready to go with the rest of my decor for the wedding. The morning after, it was all in boxes ready for me to just carry it out. That was all so appreciated. The wedding day itself—could not have run more smoothly. Jenn and everyone at Cork Factory Hotel had us running exactly on time and I never had to worry. We took so many pictures during cocktail hour but returned to find Jenn there waiting for us with a huge plate of our hors d'oeuvres for the two of us to get a couple of each one. She had all the answers all the way through so we could relax and enjoy as much as you can during the rush of a wedding day! Honestly could not recommend Cork Factory Hotel and Jenn more.. it is a stunning place with absolute professionals who have everything under control, treat you so kindly and like you matter, and pull off the most beautiful and fun events. Thanks again Jenn, Kerri, and the rest of Cork Factory Hotel. Hope you pick this place – you will not regret it!

Stayed here while on a work trip recently and couldn't speak high enough on this place. The room was very large and comfy, with a very large and comfortable bed. Shower head gave off a surprising amount of water pressure which I liked.

Stayed here for a wedding that was also in the hotel. Every was top notch. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms. There wedding venue was fantastic and the food was delicious.

I have read a lot of the bad reviews, and I don’t find anything of that in the hotel. The room I was in was clean, staff was nice, everything looked good and it was overall a good atmosphere! I can only recommend this hotel because I personally really did like it!
