the way the mansion is lit up both inside and outside was just the icing on the cake. We could not have asked for a better day and our event managers, Liz and Sadie, ran our wedding so smoothly it almost didn’t feel real. We could not recommend Pen Ryn more and will be telling everyone who we know, or hear, are getting married about them.

Loved our wedding at River's Edge! We had a great time and guests enjoyed everything as well.
Pros: ceremony space is GORGEOUS, the River's Edge reception & cocktail venue is real...
ly large and great for a big group, the food is good, there are a lot of fun add-ons for food/drinks, the day ran efficiently, the team was very nice & helpful
Cons: River's Edge has a sound ordinance - it's not that noticeable while you are dancing, but you definitely want to run this by your DJ/musicians ahead of time. the biggest thing with this is a strict 10:30 latest end time, whereas you can add time to the other venues at Pen Ryn. bathrooms are also trailer-style and very small - not unusual for a tent venue, but it definitely makes it feel less formal in that aspect. they also have a good amount of rules on what you can/can't bring and what has to go through their 'preferred vendors' which are usually a lot more expensive than outside hires (dance floor, table linens, etc.)
General notes: the food on wedding day is WAY better than at the tasting. their house liquor/wine is not great so we ended up buying extra of our preferred brands (again, has to go through their preferred vendor)

I am writing to share feedback about my recent experience at Rivers Edge as the mother of the bride. While the venue itself is undeniably beautiful with its picturesque setting by...
the water, charming cocktail room, and elegant reception area, there were several significant issues that marred what should have been a perfect day for my daughter and son-in-law. Firstly, I want to acknowledge that our guests enjoyed the food, as they raved about the overall quality. However, it is worth noting that an entire table of guests found their chicken to be rubbery and undercooked, which was disappointing. Furthermore, there were not enough people walking around with appetizers and/or not enough appetizers being served the entire time, especially the canoe filled with shrimp and oysters (it was filled twice). We paid for 125 people and only had 103 attend, yet there were definitely not enough appetizers for 125. One of the most pressing concerns was the temperature control throughout the venue. The bathroom and bridal areas were unbearably hot, and there were no fans available despite our requests. The reception area was also extremely warm, making it uncomfortable for everyone. This is something that definitely needs to be addressed for future events. Another major issue was the lack of attentiveness from the coordinators, Alexis and another individual whose name I cannot recall. Guests were allowed into the venue while we were still taking pictures, which was inconsiderate and disrupted the surprise element we had planned for the bride's entrance. I had explicitly asked the coordinators to ensure that guests waited outside until the bridal party was ready, but this request was not honored. During the cocktail hour, the bride, groom, and I had to refill our own plates and drinks multiple times because the coordinators and servers were nowhere to be found. This was particularly disappointing, as the bride and groom were looking forward to enjoying the appetizers during this time.
The most distressing and unacceptable incident occurred when the bride, who is allergic to pineapple, was served pineapple on their dessert plate. When I brought this to the coordinators' attention, they seemed confused and did not understand the gravity of the situation. This oversight could have had serious health consequences and should never have happened, especially when it was clearly stated in our contract. Despite all the meticulous planning and expenses, we were left feeling incredibly disappointed by the service provided by the coordinators. My daughter and son-in-law's fairytale wedding did not unfold as promised, and this was reflected in the minimal tip they received that night. While our guests were thankfully unaware of these issues and had a wonderful time, my daughter and son-in-law will always remember their wedding day as a significant letdownI I hope you take this feedback seriously and make the necessary improvements to ensure that future couples do not experience the same disappointments. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My husband and I got married in June 2025 at Pen Ryn Mansion and it was the most magical night! I wish we could relive it.
From the moment we chose Pen Ryn as our venue they were ...
responsive and easy to communicate with. They set up meetings for us to ensure every detail was covered, and they answered all of our questions quickly.
The day of could not have gone more smoothly. Our maitre d, Dominic, and Bridal Attendant, Brittany, were organized and efficient and always made sure my husband and I had everything we needed.
Our guests raved about the food as well (especially the short rib!!!!)
I would recommend this venue ten times over!

Having so many in-house options truly made the planning process easier and less stressful. Our guests are still raving about the incredible cocktail hour, the impeccable white glove service, and the warm, friendly staff.
Our wedding day was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. Liz and the entire team—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and while we may be a little biased… we wholeheartedly agree. It was worth every single penny!

is thoughtfully designed, and the addition of the bridal suite made getting ready so comfortable and special. The grand staircase and chandeliers added an elegant, luxurious touch that guests couldn’t stop talking about. The space worked perfectly with our band, and the team was attentive and accommodating, ensuring everything ran according to our timeline. While there were a couple of minor hiccups, like the neighboring venue starting late and overlapping ceremonies, the personalized care we received made all the difference. Our bridal attendant went above and beyond, not only supporting us but also making our parents feel truly cherished.

he end which constantly put me at ease. On our day the PRE team was AMAZING. I made the call at 2:30PM for the ceremony to be outdoors as the weather was beautiful and only called for a 15% chance of rain. Guests started to arrive at 3:45 for our 4:30 ceremony and it began to downpour. Dominic was amazing and the team flipped the outdoor ceremony setup to inside seamlessly. They didn’t forget a detail and again put my mind at ease. All of our guests raved about the food, even those that are gluten free! At the end of the night the PRE team put all of our belongings at the table by the front and all we had to do was walk it to the car. We did not hire a separate day of coordination and truly did not feel like we needed it. We would absolutely choose PRE if we were to do it all over again.

The customer service we received was excellent from start to finish. They were always helping us figure things out. They were always friendly and very responsive.
The day finally came to celebrate our wedding day and I could not have asked for a better wedding reception. It was all put together so beautifully. They organized all the items I gave them so perfectly. It was all so lovely. I was so happy to see months of planning finally come together. The service was very personal and on point. The bridal attendants made sure my day was perfect for me and that I was comfortable and taken care of. It was a dream. A fairytale experience thanks to all Pen Ryn did for us. It was truly the most beautiful day of my life with the most beautiful ambiance to adorn it.

We recently had our wedding at Pen Ryn Estate, and it was absolutely everything we could have hoped for and more! The venue itself is stunning — so many of our guests commented on ...
how beautiful and picturesque the grounds and estate were.
The food was another highlight of the night. Not only was it delicious, but there was so much of it! Our guests could not stop raving about how amazing and plentiful the food was, from the cocktail hour to the reception.
We were lucky enough to work with Ares as our bridal attendant and Haylee as our wedding coordinator, and both were incredible. Ares made sure that my husband and I never had an empty glass and took care of us all night long, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. Haylee kept everything running smoothly and seamlessly — I never once had to worry about the timeline or details because she had it all under control.
I would highly recommend Pen Ryn Estate to anyone looking for a wedding venue. You will not regret your decision! The entire Pen Ryn staff helped make all of our wedding dreams come true, and we are forever grateful for such an unforgettable day.

hem taking care of us. They checked in on us throughout the night to make sure we had enough to eat and drink and that we were just generally having a good time, and set up my DIY centerpieces just the way I wanted them- they even put a little extra personal touch on our sweetheart table. We truly didn't have to worry about a thing, and it was so nice to just be able to enjoy our wedding night without any stress.
The food was excellent, our guests are still raving about it- we were told many times it was the best food they've had at a wedding and I have to agree.
The venue itself is so beautiful- both indoor and outdoor! We booked the Belle Voir Manor and we were of course in love with the grounds before our day, but seeing everything set up and lit was really magical.
Throughout the planning process, the event staff was very communicative and easy to work with whenever we had questions or changes/additions to make.
I would 100% recommend Pen Ryn Estate to future couples. I would not change a single thing about our day. Thanks to Pen Ryn, Danny & Kelly, and all of our servers and event staff!

Her expertise and attention to detail truly shone through every step of the way. You can really tell she loves her job just by how excited and happy she gets talking about the different venues and the history of Pen Ryn Estates.
The venues at Pen Ryn that we toured were absolutely stunning. But We ended up choosing Rivers Edge because It had a beautiful ambiance that will definitely make our special day even more memorable and it best suited our style. Denyse has been available to answer all of our questions and offered invaluable insights that helped us make our decision with confidence. We cannot wait to continue to work with the team and to eventually have our wedding at Pen Ryn.

My disappointment was that it rained on my wedding day so we did not get the opportunity to take the wedding pictures outside with family and wedding party and our sparking send off did not happen. Organization on the wedding planner about announcing the desserts was amiss. As most guest was unaware of the desserts. This place was amazing! The price was reasonable. The people and the staff were exceptional.

s very helpful. They accommodated all of my changes I made within weeks and even days leading up to our wedding day. They honestly made our wedding day extremely easy and beautiful. They are also reasonably priced compared to other venues I went to. We got married at the River's Edge location, but you can't go wrong with any of them. We had a sailboat sail by during our ceremony, and a bald eagle fly by when our officiant referenced the Philadelphia Eagles. It was perfect. They also made so many amazing changes from the day we signed to our wedding day. There were new chandeliers, ceiling drapes, and so much more. So many of our guests told us that this was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to, and the food was 10/10. We would do this all over again if we had the choice. Thank you for all of the clear organization, communication and support throughout the entire process!

estly made the planning process with them pretty horrible/stressful.
I think it’s because of how many wedding they host here, but I believe they have good intentions and just need a larger team. The minute someone left, there should have been immediate rehiring or a solution provided for already booked brides. Hopefully one day that works, but I really feel like I got the short end of it and therefore can’t recommend to another bride.

Overall, our experience with Pen Ryn was very good. The venue is absolutely gorgeous rain or shine. The packages they offer are very comprehensive for a reasonable price. These are...
the top two reasons we chose them. Our day of coordinator, Alexis, was so attentive on the wedding day and throughout the entire planning process as well. She is extremely professional and holds a confidence while going about her job that always made us feel at ease. She truly made everything flow seamlessly. She worked with us on our contract by helping us understand exactly what was on it and how we could get the most bang for our buck. We would highly recommend her!
Our day of attendant was Phil. He was so polite and always ensured we were taken care of throughout the whole night. We never had an empty drink in our hands thanks to Phil. He had an answer for every question we had throughout the evening. He was very accommodating for my family as well.
Throughout the planning process, there were some communication issues regarding our contract. Pen Ryn works through a shared Event Team email. I would be emailing one person and receive a response from an entirely different person. This caused a lot of miscommunication and needing to re-explain/confirm the original subject of the email. Most communication is through this shared email. There are a few check-in phone calls, but it is not guaranteed to be with the same event planner each time or the planner you will be working with on the actual wedding day. This is the reason for 4/5 stars. Otherwise, everyone on the team is beyond friendly and accommodating. We loved the venue. The food was amazing! All of our guests raved about the entire evening. Thanks Pen Ryn!

This review is long overdue, I got married about 3 months ago on 5/10 at The Mansion at Pen Ryn, and my guests still rave about my wedding today. This venue is what I could have im...
agined and even more. To me, the Mansion is a luxury venue at an affordable price point, and with enhancements to make your wedding dreams come true. The staff was so wonderful, Sam was my DOC and she was great, we had Phil as our maître d' and he was 10/10, in addition to my planner i hired our day ran so smoothly. It did rain on my wedding day so we had to push our ceremony indoors, but the staff coordinated everything beautifully and really calmed my anxiety (they have an indoor pergola you can use, but i opt'd out of that). My guest had no complaints about the food (my cousin raved about the caprese salad) and we were severed so much food that we didn't even finish our delicious dinner. I was even surprised to see that they gave us our left over oysters that we added on during cocktail hour. Married couples always tell you to remember to eat, and let me tel you PRE does not let you forget to eat. This venue really focuses on making the bride and groom a priority (Phil was waiting for us with drinks in hand as we exited our ceremony) to make sure we had the best night of our lives.
I initially had my doubts when booking PRE based on the reviews i read online, but Im telling you that I had no issues with communication and making sure what I wanted became a reality, the staff is very professional and will work with you to meet your needs. I hopeful one day I can be a guest at a PRE wedding so I can experience it all over again.
Based on my wedding I would recommend:
-upgrading linen (to me the house linen is dated in my opinion and the upgraded linen was the vibe)
-add "the taste of philly" as the grande finale (we were sent home with arms full of cheesesteaks)
-Adding smores to desert
-Ask all the questions! staff is very responsive
-Have an indoor plan that you also love
-We booked with the radisson for our hotel block

Pen Ryn Estate met all our hopes for our wedding and completely succeeded all our expectations. We were able to have our dream wedding here and it was an absolute blast. The venue ...
itself is gorgeous. We had our ceremony at the Mansion, so had the beautiful view of the river behind. The space for cocktail hour is beautiful and there is a spacious ballroom for dancing! When planning the wedding, one of the members from the Event Team always responded to emails very promptly.
Our day of event manager, Jordan, was an absolute gem. She was so helpful and kind. We had an issue with the bakery, and she was able to resolve it for us without us having to even bat an eye. Our bridal server, Dominic, was extremely kind and attentive. All of our guests were raving about the appetizers, they had during cocktail hour. The mac n cheese and mashed potatoes were delicious! The sit down dinner was also delicious. The drinks were great, they had an open bar so all included in the cost per person! If you are looking for the perfect venue and affordable price look no further. Pen Ryn is amazing and we had the best wedding ever there.

Could not recommend Pen Ryn Estate more! My now husband and I got married at the Belle Voir Manor this past June 2024 and couldn’t be happier with our big day. From the start, they...
had everything we needed and planned out to a T. We wanted an “all in one” establishment and that’s exactly what Pen Ryn is. Such polite staff and gorgeous venues. We loved our day of planner Haylee, everything was taken care of so this bride could just sit back and relax. Thank you again for the best day of our lives!

Our wedding was on June 1st, 2024 at Belle Voir Manor and we could not have dreamed of a better venue! The building itself is elegantly modern and the grounds overlooking the river...
were the perfect backdrop. The outdoor ceremony included lush greenery and florals to complement the pergola. This meant we didn't have to worry about any additional ceremony decorations. The indoor ceremony option was the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river, which provided a reassuring back-up plan (meaning less stressing about the weather!).
The planning process was seamless, thanks to Jordan and the exceptional team at Pen Ryn. Jordan's expertise and attention to detail alleviated so much of our stress, guiding us effortlessly through every decision. With all rentals, food, and drinks included, we were able to focus on enjoying our day while the team handled setup and takedown of all personal decorations, making our arrival and departure effortless.
On the day of our wedding, Brittany, our dedicated bridal attendant, was a ROCK STAR. From ensuring we always had a drink in hand to expertly managing unexpected challenges, she anticipated our every need with grace and warmth. Her attentiveness and support made our day even more memorable.
Last but not least, the food was fantastic. Every dish was delicious, receiving rave reviews from our guests. The quality and presentation were beyond compare.
We had the best experience with our wedding at Pen Ryn Estate and cannot recommend it enough!

We absolutely loved Pen Ryn Mansion the moment we toured it and knew this was the venue we wanted to have our wedding at. I loved the different spaces within the mansion and the pr...
operty like having our cocktail hour in the library space, our dinner and reception in the ballroom, and being able to get pictures by the water. We (and our guests) raved about the large amount of appetizers, the mac and cheese and mashed potato bar being our favorite by far! Alexis, our event manager, and her team, including our bridal attendant, were great and I felt like I did not need to get a day of coordinator as she was able to set up and take down our basic decorations, which was very helpful. My only note is to keep track of the details for your contract and follow up as needed as there can be a lot that comes up in the last few months of wedding planning.

Your wedding day is something that you play over and over again in your head. You wonder how you will look, how you will feel, and everything in between. The way that Pen Ryn, spec...
ifically Brittany our Event Manager and Dominic, our Bridal attendant, made our day truly the day of our dreams and made all of our visions come to life is something we can not even begin to show appreciation for. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up and broken down perfectly, that the music cues/ processionals were spot on, and that we were feeling good and have everything we needed. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing! The amount of compliments we have gotten from our guests about this incredible venue and how amazing the day was is a true credit to the professionalism, attention to detail, and care/ kindness of Brittany, Dominic, and the entire staff on site that day. It is a day we will never forget, and we could not recommend Pen Ryn enough. Thank you for everything!- Cayla and Sam

Belle Voir was the perfect place for our special day. The venue was absolutely stunning and we loved getting to have the riverview. Our guest enjoyed a lot of time outside. Pen R...
yn is a well oiled machine and knew exactly what they were doing. Dominic was our bridal attendant and he was phenomenal from helping calm our nerves before our ceremony to always finding us and getting us food and drinks. We always had a drink in hand and were full the entire night! He always kept us up to date with what was happening. Jordan, our event manager, also did a great job! The cocktail hour was amazing and so was dinner. We also added the taste of Philly station which was a big hit.

rything up beyond my expectations and they followed everything that I put in the contract TO A TEE! Alexis was unbelievably amazing and such a calming energy.

He was always there to help us by getting us drinks, extra hors d’oeuvres, words of encouragement, etc. Literally I have not ONE bad thing to say about this place. They’ve thought of everything, the staff is kind and efficient, and the food is to die for! I’d give it ten stars if I could!

Denyse at Pen Ryn has been absolutely fantastic in helping us plan our wedding. I reached out to schedule a tour and the sales team responded immediately with tour times, pricing, ...
and venue availability. It was such a breath of fresh air to have a team be honest and upfront about the costs associated with planning a wedding. When we went to tour we fell in love immediately with the grounds and all of the beautiful venues on site. The tour was so much fun and we left knowing Pen Ryn Mansion was our place! I can't wait to continue to work with the team at Pen Ryn. If you are thinking about reaching out, do it!

Title: Disappointing Experience at Pen Ryn Wedding Venue
I recently had the opportunity to plan my wedding at Pen Ryn wedding venue, and unfortunately, my experience was satisfacto...
ry. While the venue itself had potential, there were a few key aspects that fell short of our expectations.
One of the major disappointments was the lack of attention to detail when it came to the menu. We had specifically requested scallops to be included in our menu, but they were missing on the day of the wedding. This was quite disappointing, as we had informed the venue well in advance and expected them to fulfill their commitment. The absence of such a crucial dish left a void in our dining experience.
Another issue we encountered was the lack of structure throughout the event. It seemed that there was a lack of organization and coordination among the staff, which resulted in confusion and delays. We had expected a seamless flow of events, but unfortunately, it felt disjointed and uncoordinated at times.
Additionally, communication with the venue's staff was not as efficient as we had hoped. There were instances where our inquiries and concerns were not addressed promptly, leaving us feeling neglected and frustrated during the planning process.
While the venue itself had potential and showcased beautiful surroundings, these shortcomings significantly impacted our overall experience. It is crucial for a wedding venue to pay attention to the details and ensure a smooth and well-executed event. Unfortunately, Pen Ryn fell short in these aspects.
I hope that the management of Pen Ryn takes this feedback constructively and works towards improving their services for future events. Every couple deserves a memorable and flawless wedding day, and it is essential for the venue to prioritize the satisfaction of their clients.
In conclusion, my experience at Pen Ryn wedding venue was just okay due to the missing scallops, lack of structure, and ineffective communication. I would recommend thorough consideration and communication with the venue before making a decision to ensure that your expectations are met.
