Historic venue, spectacular views

Simple elegance meets the natural beauty of central Pennsylvania...imagine the possibilities.

In today’s wedding world of creative venue choices, Mt. Nittany Overlook Event Center offers a unique setting where elegant simplicity meets a comfortable, well appointed interior with spectacular views of Happy Valley's natural splendor ~ pastoral farmlands, endless sky and rolling mountains in the distance.

 

Couples who choose Mt. Nittany Overlook often have a love of the local area, appreciation of the natural beauty of the region and make a purposeful decision for modern conveniences for their guests, including air conditioning or heated spaces, comfortable restrooms, and locally revered catering.

 

The neutral palate throughout the venue may be decorated with each couple’s own style, colors and desired vibe for their own signature celebration. Taking a cue from many couples we have worked with to date, our venue offers a comfortable environment that promotes togetherness. Long communal tables are perfect for sharing conversation, clinking glasses and breaking bread together. Many other reception set-up options exist depending on the party size and seating preferences of the host couple.

Reputable hotels, bars and restaurants are just 2-3 miles from the front door. Penn State University’s main campus is a scenic 12-mile drive in either direction. Mt. Nittany Overlook Event Center can accommodate up to 300 guests on two levels and offers plenty of space for dancing, dining and celebrating, as well as spectacular photographic opportunities.

"I had my wedding ceremony and reception at Mt. Nittany Overlook Event Center in the Elevation room. The space was perfect for a live band, 2 photographers, and 50ish guests. The view is very hard to beat. Getting married on top of a mountain with a view of the valley was special and everyone loved it. The food was delicious and the bar was accommodating. If I had to go back in time and redo it all, I would do it exactly the same. A huge shout out to John and Makenzie for taking the time to email back and forth with me and have phone calls to capture my vision and make it come true. This spot really made my wedding day!"
