Wedding Planners and Coordinators in Central PA

Central PA Wedding Shows lists wedding planners and day-of coordinators serving Lancaster, York, Gettysburg, Bellefonte, Harrisburg, and the surrounding counties. Every planner on this page has exhibited at a Central PA Wedding Shows event, which means a member of our team has met them and talked with them about how they run a wedding day.

We are not ranking these planners and we do not take a commission on your booking. We produce wedding shows, and these are the coordinators who show up and talk with couples in person.

Full-service planning, which starts at the beginning of the engagement, costs considerably more. This is the category couples most often skip and most often wish they had not.
