Central City Orchestra of Robin-Banks Entertainment had the honor of performing for Jill and Justin’s unforgettable wedding at the Excelsior, a top-tier Lancaster, PA, venue. With its historic architecture and contemporary vibes, the Excelsior was a stunning backdrop for this celebration of love. Jill and Justin’s wedding featured rich colors, iconic tunes, and an incredible lineup of local vendors, creating a magical experience for everyone present.


Romantic Colors and Thoughtful Touches

The wedding color palette of dark royal blue, dusty rose, mauve, and champagne pink added elegance and warmth to every corner of the Excelsior. These colors perfectly complemented the venue’s natural tones, and Laura of Lauxmont’s floral designs added the perfect touch, bringing these hues to life with elegant arrangements. Laura, based in Wrightsville, PA, expertly transformed the space with florals that balanced sophistication and romance, creating a captivating visual experience.
