  • "We were absolutely thrilled to have our wedding reception at Trust46. This new venue, transformed from a historic downtown Lancaster bank is truly an architectural marvel. From its soaring high ceilings to the intricate millwork, stunning marble flooring, and even a very cool vault, every detail exudes timeless elegance and charm. Our wedding was one of the first be hosted at Trust46, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to wait for this space. Jara was great to work with—attentive, accommodating, and passionate about making our day perfect. Our guests were raving about how beautiful and unique the venue was, and it created the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening!"

Every inch of the venue was beautiful, and it created the perfect atmosphere for our day. It truly captured the vibe we were going for and could not have imagined a better place to celebrate with our friends and family!"

  • "Goodness... There aren't enough words to describe how perfect this venue is in every way. It's quaint but very elegant and has an "old-time" feel to it with the gorgeous murals inside. The space is spacious, the bridal room is perfection, and the staff is the cherry on top. The perfect wedding venue in Downtown Lancaster!!"

  • "We are so grateful to Ecklin Events for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect! We held our reception at the Stevens Ballroom and took photos at the stunning Conestoga House & Gardens—both venues were incredibly beautiful and created the most magical atmosphere for our celebration. The team at Ecklin Events was kind, responsive, and professional every step of the way, making the planning process so much smoother and more enjoyable. As a thoughtful surprise, they even sent us a Christmas ornament after the wedding, which meant so much to us. We can’t recommend Ecklin Events enough for anyone looking for a meaningful, elegant, and well-supported wedding experience."
