Meetings & Events

Wow, I don’t even know where to start. My experience working with Best Western Premier was absolutely amazing! I had an extreme challenge of finding a venue and planning a major campus event within 3 months, at an affordable price for medical/graduate students. I can not put into words how glad I am that I gave the Best Western a call. I remember looking at pictures of the beautiful venue online, and thinking, no way could I ever afford to get my group in there, especially not on such short notice. It was a cold, rainy January day – I just had multiple venues fall through, and I was about to give up on the event. I decided to go ahead and give Best Western a try, and from the moment I picked up the phone, everyone I interacted with was prompt, personable, and so excited to work with me. Walking into the lobby for the first time, I was blown away by how amazing the venue was. Morgan, the BW coordinator of my event, showed me to the Central Ballroom and I knew we had to have our event in there. Long story short – we did, and the Best Western gave us the absolute best deal among every venue I talked to in Central PA. 3 months rolled by, and Morgan was diligent and communicative every step of the way. The event has now passed, and everyone absolutely loved the venue, the food, and the service. Our event was absolutely stunning, and I would not change a single thing about my choice to go with the Best Western. In fact, I would love to go ahead and get booked for next year. :)

We were so pleased with the hotel… the organization of everything from accommodations and the meals, to the festival was great.

We had a wonderful time on Saturday.  Everything was perfect. When I arrived I was greeted by several staff wanting to ensure I had everything we needed.  Throughout the night all of your employees were courteous and they provided great service.  The bartender was very friendly and everyone loved that he remembered what people were drinking without even having to ask. The food was also absolutely delicious!

WOW! Premier in your name fits your establishment perfectly! Everything and everyone was excellent and perfect, from the setup time to our last goodbye. All of our attendees raved about the food and the service. Everyone on your staff was a joy, accommodating, and pleasant! So much so that I was giving out hugs!!! And the food was excellent!

OMG, it was amazing! The staff was on point, very kind, professional, and friendly. Everyone loved the food… it was delicious! We all had a great time and I will most definitely recommend you and Best Western for any future events!

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for everything with our CD Ice Hockey banquet.  Jason and the staff was very helpful and attentive the whole evening, doing a great job.  The food was very good and well received by everyone I talked to.  We were able to get the banners hung up, the audio/video setup was great and the whole process went off without a hitch.  So thank you again to you and all the staff…we appreciate it!

The event yesterday was awesome! There were lots of compliments on the food and setup. The banquet team was excellent. They all introduced themselves to me and provided quality service. They were extremely diligent to clear dishes and replenishing beverages during the meeting. A job very well done by the banquet team.

Your AV partners at Jubilee helped us pull off a successful live stream again. They are awesome.

After the event, we ran a tab at O’Reilly’s for about 2 hours. The single bartender handled the unexpected crowd of people quickly and efficiently. She was excellent.

Yesterday’s experience a the Best Western was second to none. Bravo.

WE ARE SPEECHLESS! The hospitality of your hotel, the staff, the details, the attention to our needs, our rooms with 27 beds, the welcome baskets with butter spray/bread/etc. and personalized notes… was well BEYOND anything we could have ever expected or dreamed of. The event was BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS, thanks to both of you, your staff, and your attention to detail.

I must say your staff & hotel are probably one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at! You made us feel so special which is so very important in the industry!! You can tell that you all take pride in what you do!! Keep doing what you are doing!!

Throughout the event everyone commented on how smoothly this Expo was running… Your entire Team, as usual, went above and beyond all expectations. We’re looking forward to returning in 2023.

We had a fabulous time this weekend!  The staff at the Central is so welcoming and accommodating to our families.  Many were even kind enough to ask how our team was doing in the tournament. Please extend a huge “Thank You” from the Protec Ducks Mite Beginner team to all your staff at the Central.  We will never stay anywhere else when we are in the Hershey area.

Team was terrific. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks to all for a great job!

Another amazing stay!  Everyone is RAVING about the food and staff.

It has been PANO’s pleasure to hold our past two annual conferences at the Best Western Premier, the Central Hotel Harrisburg. We were so pleased with our first event, and quality of service provided by all staff, that we have signed multiple year contracts. I can tell you without hesitation that the staff at the Best Western Premier are the best I’ve worked with – ever. From Courtney and her team servicing the conference, to Mike supporting with set-up, and Liz who coordinated the event – they are absolutely committed to making your event as successful as possible. They are truly a pleasure to work with.

You and your team did a great job, and made our event memorable and enjoyable.

I’m looking forward to future events with your exceptional team.

Honestly, your hotel was absolutely, amazing to work with last year.  I have never had such a great experience at a hotel.

On behalf of the PASAE Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for hosting the November PASAE Professional Development session on November 9. We truly appreciate the “above and beyond” generosity. Lunch was outstanding, the staff friendly and the hotel is beautiful. The members were raving about lunch; it was truly exceptional and the staff was especially accommodating. You all did a wonderful job of showcasing your facility! Thank you very much for your support of PASAE. We value your partnership.

We’d like to say “Thank you” for your help with our luncheon fashion show. I have already heard that quite a few people would like to come again next year. . .Thank you again!
