Scranton Venues to Know

A few of the city’s wedding venues, with notes on planning around each. See the full NEPA venue guide for more.

Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple

420 N. Washington Avenue, downtown Scranton

  • Listed on the National Register of Historic Places
  • Grand Ballroom with dinner seating for up to 750 guests
  • Smaller rooms such as Craftsmen Hall (chapel-like, dinner for up to 100) and the Casey Library (dinner for 10 to 50) suit intimate ceremonies, showers and rehearsal dinners

Planner’s note: With several rooms under one roof, a clear room-by-room timeline (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception flips) and guest signage make a big difference. It’s also an elegant option for a shower or rehearsal dinner in a smaller room.

The Green Ridge Club

1645 Wyoming Avenue, Scranton

  • A historic building of more than 120 years, renovated under new ownership
  • Grand Ballroom with hardwood floors and a center stage, seating up to 175 guests with a dance floor
  • All-inclusive packages and a dedicated Event Director who coordinates with your vendors and event planner

Planner’s note: All-inclusive venues handle food, bar and rentals. A day-of coordinator complements the venue team by managing your outside vendors (photo, music, florals, hair and makeup), the bridal party and the full-day timeline beyond the reception.

Tips for a Scranton Wedding

  • Downtown ceremonies and receptions often mean coordinating parking, drop-off and guest transportation; plan shuttles or a clear parking note on your wedding website.
  • If your ceremony and reception are in different places, map the drive and add travel time and a buffer to the timeline.
  • Reserve hotel room blocks early for out-of-town guests.
  • Ask every venue what’s included and what you bring in (catering, rentals, bar, decor), plus its rules on outside vendors, candles and end times.
  • Have a rain plan for any outdoor ceremony, and agree on when the weather call will be made.
  • Build buffer time into the timeline for photos, travel between ceremony and reception, and hair and makeup.
  • Share one master timeline and vendor contact sheet with every vendor in the final weeks.
