Nittany Lion Inn

Located on the campus of Penn State University, the The Nittany Lion Inn offers a reception setting that blends tradition with convenience. The property carries a strong sense of place for alumni and families connected to the university, making it especially meaningful for many couples.
The ballrooms are well suited for dinner and a full dance floor, with layouts that keep introductions and toasts centered. The interior design leans classic, giving the celebration a timeless atmosphere while still allowing couples flexibility in décor and overall style.
Because everything is centralized within the hotel, the flow from ceremony or cocktail hour into the reception feels seamless for guests. With thoughtful sound placement and coordination alongside the venue team, the evening transitions naturally from formal moments into a lively celebration.
Below is a look at how a wedding at The Nittany Lion Inn comes together once the reception is underway.

Molly and Jeff (Nittany Lion Inn)

Sometimes finding the venue for your wedding will come before anything else.  Choosing the right location for everyone to gather can play a major role in the success of the celebration.  Molly and Jeff knew their wedding and reception needed to be at Penn State College & the Nittany Lion Inn in State College, PA.

Once the dancing started, the party really kicked into gear.  Everyone enjoyed dancing to fantastic music from the 60’s all the way up to today’s hits.  The excitement and energy on the dance floor went non-stop until the very last song.  Molly and Jeff gave their guests a wonderful day to reminisce, visit, dance, and get a little crazy.  The newlyweds are now off to another great location for their honeymoon in Aruba.
