We had our wedding scheduled at The Links for 10/31/20 after being cancelled abruptly by the Gettysburg Hotel. Maureen (the event coordinator) was so sweet and helpful as she knew we were already stressed out! She had a checklist of everything we needed to get done all ready for us. Due to COVID-19 WE did have to cancel our wedding at The Links because of the restrictions on the amount of guests. I was really sad it didn't work out...... However, The Links gave us a full refund even though we were the ones to cancel. The packages for food was reasonably priced and all the options looked so good! On top of that the caterers were very flexible with what we wanted. The area where the outdoor ceremony could be held was beautiful overlooking the golf course. Another nice thing was that there is also a space for an indoor ceremony if it were to rain. I was very sad that we couldn't move forward with this venue. The pictures and atmosphere would have been amazing.

The Links is a beautiful venue, and all of the staff members, from the golf cart driver, bartenders, waitstaff and venue team are amazing and professional. There are so many different options and they work with you to customize everything. Karen is absolutly amazing, she is literally the best. She made the entire process so easy and non-stressful, and I'm fairly sure she even managed to make the weather cooperate. She even dealt with our uncooperative shuttle driver so we didn't have too, and followed up after the wedding as well. We would absolutly recomend the Links to anyone searching for a venue.

We worked closely with the lovely Karen Pennington as our Wedding Coordinator at The Links. She did such a wonderful job accommodating our needs, especially on a lower budget. She was extremely helpful in every step of the planning process (especially for a couple who had very little idea of what they were doing). She managed to keep us on track, giving us deadlines for when we needed certain things done and prioritized tasks for us in a timely manner. This was super helpful for us! She was also super patient when we were indecisive with our food menu. Not only that, but her personal touches were so sweet, such as sending us a memorable gift from the evening, along with an awesome SnapChat timeline with our own GeoTag. She even looked up the times of the sunset on our wedding day so we would have beautiful sunset pictures (which turned out amazing by the way; the golf course is the perfect romantic back drop!) Thank you so much Karen for your kindness, patience, and willingness to serv... Read moree others. We are so grateful God put you in our lives! (Literally, because we wouldn't have met each other without you) As for the venue and rest of the staff, the team was absolutely amazing!! They were so kind and so professional! Shout out to Bailey Buttner for taking additional photos for us and the Snapchat! The venue itself is so beautiful and really needs limited decorations which we loved because it was less on us to worry about.

My Son was married at the Links in July. It is a beautiful setting. The venue is the best in Gettysburg. Karen, the manager, could not have been more accommodating. ANY question we asked was answered. We had special diets, no problem for the Links team. Service was outstanding. Staff refilled drinks without asking. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was wonderful. The ceremony went off flawlessly, due to the wonderful rehearsal we had at the Links. The weather was in the 90's and the Links made sure that there were water stations for the guests. Karen and her team went about and beyond.

Our daughter was just married June 9, 2018. We can’t thank Karen and the staff enough! The service and food were excellent and the grounds, beautiful! We are still hearing from family and friends about how perfect everything was. The plated food was served quickly, efficiently, and hot which is almost unheard of when serving a large group. Food allergies were addressed and everyone was impressed. This venue and the staff have provided us with a beautiful memory that I know we will treasure! No doubt The Links is top notch and we are so thankful to have made the right choice!!! The Rennie’s

I don't even know how to describe how incredible our day was. We selected the Links about a year and half before our wedding date. From the very moment we pulled into the parking lot we knew it was where we would be married. It just continued to get better. We had a switch in coordinators about half way through but getting Karen was the best thing that EVER happened. Her attention to detail was fantastic! Every concern I could come up with she had an answer/solution. Her excitement for her job shines every time you have contact with her. Texts, emails and phone calls --- she was ALWAYS available. The actual "day of" was so amazing, I am still coming down from the high of the whole day. She booked our shuttle from the venue/hotels. The food was TO DIE FOR. I don't think anyone had a single bad thing to say. Thank god I loved it, cuz Karen packs up TONS of food for you to go home with. The wait staff and bartenders were so sweet and so attentive. My family felt like they were t... Read moreaken care of the entire time. Price is just right and Karen will work with any budget you have. She really makes everything work out. Definitely check it out!

We just had our son's wedding reception at the Links. Karen was wonderful to work with and very helpful. Our guests loved the food, the venue decor and the beautiful landscape that surrounds this property. We could not have been more pleased.

We were just married at the Links on October 7th and I cannot give enough kudos to the staff at this venue! Everyone went out of their way to ensure we had the best day possible and we're still getting messages from guests about the food, setting and service. Karen was a rockstar and went above and beyond with everything- even getting my daughter a special cupcake to celebrate her birthday. Thank you for making our day special!

Karen and all of the staff at the Links were nothing short of amazing. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to the whole crew. Our wedding day was even running a little late, and they all were so accommodating and gracious enough to extend us an extra half hr. Have your wedding day here, and you will not regret it!

I honestly can’t say enough good things!! Our wedding was perfection!!! Thank you for everything that was done for us and going above and beyond with every detail!

My husband and I got married at the Links in November 2019, and we can't recommend this venue to others in good conscience. I go into the whole story below, but in short, their management is a mess. Links management made our planning process stressful and confusing by letting go of an amazing coordinator for a cheaper, inexperienced alternative and having a shocking absence of communication through the process. We visited the Links because it's a pretty venue, but we chose them because of their then-wedding-coordinator Karen Pennington. She has an amazing reputation in the local wedding industry and a rich history of happy couples. Her warm demeanor assured us that she would care about our wedding day as much as we did, so we signed on with the Links. Unfortunately, halfway into our planning process, the Links chose to let go of Karen in favor of filling the role with their contracted catering company (The Carriage House). The Links announced this by making Karen send us an emai... Read morel, with no information on how the new contact would handle the transition. Links management themselves never reached out to us about this. We had our food tasting scheduled at the time, and the new contact (let's call her Jane) wasn't reaching out to us at all to confirm this meeting or any other planning details. So, we gave Jane a call to review our progress and confirm our meeting. She seemed unfamiliar with the details of our event and literally hung up the phone on us. We researched Jane's background with wedding coordination, and it turned out she had none. This, combined with reviews that Jane was botching weddings, had us very worried. We did have our tasting with Jane, but never heard from her again. We had a meeting with the Links general manager to express our concerns, to which he essentially said "don't worry." We were losing confidence in the Links, so not wanting to lose all of our planning progress, we hired Karen on as our independent coordinator. We needed someone experienced to advocate for our event's success. We never did hear from Jane again, so I'm not sure what ever happened there. I'm assuming other couples had the same concerns we did, because the Links awkwardly signed Karen back on (essentially as a freelancer) just to finish the weddings she had started. Even though this situation was confusing and awkward, Karen is a gem and executed our planning flawlessly. HOWEVER a week before our wedding, the Links again terminated their agreement with Karen. They would let her be there on the day for coordination but wouldn't let her do the last minute aspects of planning. They also fired their general manager before this with no plan for a new one (and never communicated it to us). So, a week before our wedding we were left with no actual contact from the Links (no general manager, coordinator, or other kind of representative). On the day of, Karen was there to run the event, but no one from the Links was present. Despite their shoddy management, the wedding ultimately turned out well, but only at the hands of Karen. Since their agreement is over, Karen isn't there in any capacity anymore, and I honestly don't know if any coordinator is (since no one ever reached out us). Due to their bad staffing decisions and nonexistent communication, I can't recommend the Links as a wedding venue.

An honest review from the GROOM and BRIDE married on October 13, 2018. Please read this review before it's deleted by the links, this is a thorough review pertaining to our wedding and the wedding process we endured. We began our wedding process in February 2018 and we originally met with Karen and our wedding coordinator from February until beginning of September. Due to unknown circumstances Karen was replaced by Billy Jo at this time in September. We had one meeting with Billy Jo and we stated we wanted an additional meeting because of the last minute change and to make sure everybody was on the same page. Well the last meeting never happened and listed below are the many mistakes that occurred on our wedding day: 1. Lack of communication of our special day a. The bar just closed without any last call which made many people upset. b. We had a table dedicated to family members that passed away with a candle that we told Billy Jo we wanted lit when she helped us set up the ... Read moreroom. We were busy with multiple guests and activities but our candle was never lit and that showed disrespect to our wishes and our family members. c. An additional table had our guest book and favors for the guests. Nothing was mentioned to the guests and numerous people did not sign the guest book or received a favor. 2. Incidents pertaining to the cake a. It’s time to cut the cake all the guests are excited and where was our wedding coordinator? She was nowhere to be found. b. Next Billy Jo is located and comes to us so we can cut the cake. As we discussed previously they would have a cake cutter for us to use but guess what? It was nowhere to be found when it was time to cut the cake. Well Billy Jo comes running up to us with a plate and I could not believe this, a BUTTER KNIFE!! c. Lastly, the cake is cut and just placed on a table and not served to the guests. Well we had to get our photographer once again to find Billy Jo which this occurred over five times at the minimum. d. My wife and I never did get cake served to us on our wedding day, my wife had to order a cake a few days later because my flavor I picked was handed all out to guests. 3. Contract and verbal agreements that were not followed: a. We were advised that they would have an Instagram and snapchat account dedicated to our wedding. They would compile all pictures and put same on a CD for us. Extra pictures sounds good right? Well we were told the day before our wedding this would not happen because the accounts were locked and not accessible. Well I’m glad Billy Jo figured this out a day before our wedding we met her in September this should have been corrected beforehand. b. We were advised we would get two free golf games for using this venue. Well it’s November 8th and still did not receive any golf games. c. In the contract the rear patio was supposed to be lit and tiki torches were also supposed to be available. Well it was not lit at all and was pitch dark outside. It was a shame because I wanted to get a bonfire but since no lights were on, nobody went outside other than people to smoke or Billy Jo to talk on her phone. d. Servers were supposed to have on white gloves for the formal event, did not happen 4. The wedding coordinator a. Billy Jo wore a white blouse on the wedding day, which my wife did not like at all. We would not expect an experienced wedding coordinator to wear white to a wedding. Furthermore, we have pictures of her in the background wearing the white blouse, she told Bonnie, the owner of the venue she did not wear white and had a red sweater on which clearly she did not. b. Billy Jo cannot take any negative feedback and has an integrity issue. Well she blamed the previous wedding coordinator on all of her own mistakes. c. At the end of the night of our wedding, Billy Jo told my wife that there would be a wedding on the following day, Ocotber 14, 2018. She stated to Heather for us to get our belongings by 10am or else our gifts, decorations, etc would be placed outside. Well our checkout for the hotel was not until noon but we did get there at 11:15 and sure enough our stuff was put outside the venue in the rain. Also this venue is on a golf course so there were many guests in the area on golf carts and also people for the wedding that would be later that day on the facility. Our belongings were left outside unsecured some were gifts with money inside same. We never received a phone call to check when we would be there and there was plenty of rooms our belongings could have been put so it was secured. Below it a picture of our belongings upon arrival. 5. Management a. We called Jason to let him know of the issues we had on our special day and that things did not go well as he guaranteed. Well we were offered an additional two free games of golf and we indicated we wanted to speak to the owner, Bonnie. b. After several days my wife got in contact with Bonnie. Well Billy Jo gave us a final invoice that we were owed $263 and after looking at the bill we saw we were overcharged. All guests were charged as adults for both the alcohol and buffet and we had at least 8-10 children at the wedding. Bonnie offered back some money for the mistakes but was not acceptable. c. Bonnie recalculated the price and we were correct we were owed back $600 plus after the calculations were redone. The previous offer was off the table and we were giving an extra $200 along with the money they already owed us for all of these mistakes. This still is unacceptable but Bonnie stated we heard your concerns but that’s what you’re getting too bad basically. I’m sure there were more mistakes to report however I tried to make this short as possible. DO NOT, DO NOT book this venue for your special day. Billy Jo has no idea what she is doing as a wedding coordinator and should not even be there period! Jason and Bonnie, well they got paid the money for the wedding and after numerous complaints from us and family who attended the wedding they basically did not care at all. They can’t even follow the contract that was agree upon the parties and then want to just give back $200. Here is the picture of our belongings put outside in the rain by Billy Jo!!!

The Links at Gettysburg's Clubhouse is a great place for a wedding - we originally wanted to get married outside, but due to the heat had to move indoors. Karen and her team worked wonders to get everything rearranged in time, and yet not make it look like that hadn't been the plan from the beginning.

Beyond this being a beautiful scenic venue (especially for the fall colors), the staff that works here truly makes hosting an event at the Links at Gettysburg such an exceptional experience. I started my journey with wedding planning in December of 2016 for our wedding in October of 2018 - in that time period we went through 3 day-of wedding coordinators. Albeit, not originally ideal when I started planning, but I will say I am extremely grateful for Billy Jo stepping in as our final day-of coordinator in the last two months prior to our wedding date. Billy Jo and her staff were on top of everything for the day-of details, and handled any mix-up with finesse (so well, that I'll be honest, I didn't hear of ANY mix ups occurring - only assuming that, like most weddings, they likely happened). My husband and I have not stopped receiving compliments from guests regarding the choice in venue, and delight from loved ones regarding how well they helped with packing up our belongings at the en... Read mored of the night. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a good mix of outdoor space and indoor comforts. The floor plan is not a conventional ballroom - it's more like a great room of a home, which to me offers a cozier vibe for your guests. The floor plan is smartly laid out so those who want to step away from the dance floor, have enough space to spread out and have a private conversation while onlooking the festivities. The ladies' room offers a private suite with plenty of mirrors for brides that may need a wardrobe change during the reception. Also the restrooms (at least for the ladies' room) have separate rooms (not stalls) for each toilet, which I felt added to the "home like" feel, rather than a bland/cold commercial appearance. Also another perk with this venue is it has EVERYTHING you need in one place. Tables, chairs, linens, bar, food, and cake options, as well as plenty of other add-ons (e.g. fire pit, satellite bar, dessert stations) all under one contract. I found that far more favorable for planning a wedding than having to keep track of 3-5+ vendors. Good luck to all the future brides out there! Most valuable advice I got while planning is to ENJOY your day!
