Our winding road






Our Celebration
We’re getting married at Excelsior in Lancaster, PA. It’s the perfect blend of old and new, and we can’t wait to kick off our new life together with great food, dancing, and your company.

The finer details
If the weather is kind to us, we’ll say our vows outdoors in the Garden Courtyard, and then head indoors to celebrate. We’d love for you to wear semi-formal or cocktail attire—dressy, but shy of a tux or gown.
Excelsior is located at 125 E King Street, one of the main roads in the city. While street parking is available throughout Lancaster, we’d recommend parking in the East King Parking Garage, located right across the street.
While our reception wraps up at 10pm, the night doesn't have to end at Excelsior. There are plenty of bars within walking distance, and we’ll plan on visiting some for after party drinks.
We love your little ones, but our wedding ceremony and reception will be adults only. Thank you for understanding and for making arrangements ahead of time — we really appreciate it, and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Sarah’s stepmother and father, Andrea and Leo Petrokonis, are graciously hosting a day-after brunch at their Airbnb next to Excelsior. Please join us for bagels and refreshments, and say hi to Sarah & Matt before leaving town.


Travel & Stay
Lancaster County is especially meaningful to us because it’s home to Sarah’s family. She grew up just south of Lancaster City, and we think it’s a great place to spend a long weekend.
