Excelsior is an eclectic event space inspired by Downtown Lancaster’s vintage charm. Elegant classical architectural features combined with salvaged vintage hardware are blended with crisp modern design and woven throughout the various connecting spaces. Refreshing outdoor areas and the enchanting brewer’s catacombs enhance the overall experience creating a one-of-a-kind venue for any event in any season. The complex is large and is designed for hosting “one event per day.” Created to hold 50 – 500 guests using one or all spaces, the venue accommodates 270 seated dinner guests in the largest room.

The complementary Chamber Room is spacious and well appointed for bridal party preparations.

Kudos and Praise from our Brides
Shumaker PDT didn’t just provide décor; they brought the wedding design of our dreams to life! Their impressive inventory of décor packages offered incredible flexibility, allowing us to truly personalize every detail and create a beautiful, romantic and unique wedding space. The ivory drapes they provided were simply breathtaking, and their strategic lighting options cast a wonderfully romantic and elegant glow throughout the room. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about the sheer beauty and elegance of the ballroom. Beyond the stunning aesthetic, their service and delivery were impeccable, making the entire process completely stress-free. For anyone looking to transform their wedding or event space into something truly magical, we recommend Shumaker PDT!

We selected our wedding venue because of its natural beauty with wooden beams and exposed brick. We truly didn’t need to do much to enhance the space – that’s what we loved about it. Our coordinator recommended Shumaker PDT to us if we wanted to add any twinky lights, drapery, or extras on the ceiling’s wooden beams. We ended up adding white uplighting, a hanging ladder for flowers, twinkly lights, and drapery from Shumaker PDT and it is one of the best wedding day decisions we could have made. Working with them was super simple and the setup happened so seamlessly. We received compliments from our guests all night long. While our venue was already beautiful, the added components from Shumaker PDT made the space feel so dreamy, intimate, and romantic. All of our ceremony photos now have a beautiful floral bar above us and it felt like we were dancing under the stars during our reception. I can’t speak highly enough of Shumaker PDT. They do incredible work at an incredibly fair price and could enhance even the most already-beautiful spaces. Choosing to work with Shumaker PDT is one of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding.

Getting married in a pandemic is no joke and Shumaker helped us create our vision in a different setting! We worked with JoAnn, who was super responsive to e-mails and adapted as restrictions changed many times. They took care of everything from the setup to the teardown. We were very impressed by their selection and their photos can really help guide you if you don’t know what you want! We had the beautiful ladder with Edison bulbs and elegant drapery. They really added little touches that completed our beautiful day!

YAS!!!! We went back and forth on if we should add Shumaker’s gorgeous drapery to our special day. It looked phenomenal in the photos, but did we really need it? Well, I am so glad we did. Shumaker’s draping transformed our already gorgeous reception space into something from my wildest dreams. When I saw it being set up it truly took my breath away because it was even more spectacular in real life.
We got ready in the room attached to the reception area so I got to see the entire place transform, and my bridesmaids said over and over again how unbelievable the room looked with the drapery.
The crew that set everything up was so kind and JoAnn who I worked with on the back-end was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. If you want to elevate your day to a true fairytale, I highly recommend Shumaker for your special occasion.

“I seriously wish I could give them more than 5 stars across the board! This is an absolutely amazing company to work with, and the effects they created for me were out of this world. I was blown away by how beautiful they made the space look. They took an already stunning space and transformed it beyond even what I imagined. It was absolutely perfect! The whole team was also really friendly and easy to work with. Shumaker was amazing with helping me get everything all set up, and my day of manager, Alex was fantastic! He let us know when he was done with set up so that I could come in and see everything before the craziness of wedding day really got into full swing. It was amazing to have a moment to myself to take it all in. They really went above and beyond to make sure my whole experience was perfect. I can’t recommend this team enough. Absolutely amazing work! ”

Shumaker – PDT helped give us the finishing touch to our dream wedding! They were so helpful and answered every single question we had. Our chandeliers and drapery were ready before the rehearsal. The whole experience was professional and no hassle to us. Our guests LOVED the look of the rooms for the ceremony and dinner. We are so happy we decided to add these to our wedding.

Shumaker is such a great company to work with! We rented four chandeliers and dramatic doorway drapes (to hide our reception room while guests attended the ceremony), and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! Shumaker delivered the services exactly as described, were professional, courteous, and easy to work with! The added details that Shumaker was able to provide for our wedding made all the difference in our photos, and was well worth the money! My husband and I highly recommend working with Shumaker for all of your decor and lighting needs!!!
Sophia G
This was the easiest and one of the most professional meetings we had during the entire wedding planning process. We changed our minds so so many times regarding what we wanted and they still were able to come through! We had a brand new design proposed, last minute, and Shumaker came through within a few weeks and they had it ready for us! I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality and peace of mind when planning.
Jenna
Shumaker helped to make our wedding day absolutely perfect! The moment I saw some of their decoration options, I knew that I had to have them. We chose to have the ladder hung in our venue with the beautiful large Edison bulbs hanging from it. All of our wedding guests commented on this piece and it truly helped to bring the entire wedding decor together. They were so easy to work with throughout the planning process, very prompt with communication and were so great on the wedding day! I highly recommend!
Hannah
Shumaker was a joy to work with and super accommodating even when I added more items onto the list of decor a month before the wedding. They were organized, efficient, professional, and responded to any questions I had quickly. The day of the wedding the decorations really made the space (the cork factory hotel ballroom) look magical. We rented Edison bulbs to hang over our sweetheart table, uplighting, drapery, twinkle lights, and barrels. All decor was installed as planned and looked gorgeous.
