About a week or two ago I toured the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square and Convention Center. It was fantastic to finally visualize all the plans that are taking place for our April 26 Best of Weddings Show . Here are some snapshots I took during the tour.

This is a meeting/board room but will also serve as a fantastic ceremony location. It has a beautiful focal point right between the colums and awesome natural daylight looking down to Penn Square.

Amy and Matt had a beautiful winter wedding and it was sad for us because it was the last one of the season. Below are beautiful images taken by Jeremy Hess and Amanda Kirkham (my very talented sister-in-law) from Jeremy Hess Photographers ! They always do such a fantastic job and the images are always timeless.
