Pen Ryn Estate

was so accommodating and Haylee was amazing. Haylee and the event team made it so easy for us and we felt so comfortable. We would recommend the Pen Ryn estate to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding day.

d hard work were felt in every detail, and it meant the world to us. The love and care they poured into making our day so special made it unforgettable, and we’ll be forever grateful for everything they did to bring our vision to life.

tely stunning and the food was so good!!! Can’t recommend it enough! We got married at the Rivers Edge Venue.

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. Lisa Nodis

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.

hey made sure we had an amazing wedding day and did not have to worry about the small details.

hoose one. We chose Rivers edge for its charming waterfront views and unique style. 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.

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.

s. Throughout the planning process the team was very communicative and professional. We want to give a special shout out to Jessica and Brittney for the attention and care they gave on our special day. Our wedding day was what we wanted and Pen Ryn Estate was able to help make that possible.

elping us pick the perfect venue for our big day. From the very first meeting, she made us feel at ease and listened to our wants, ideas and visions. 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.

f was on point. The bartenders were great. My personal assistance was excellent. Their payment time frame was also excellent. My only issue was that the tasting meals were a little different from the actual meals at the wedding. But the guest at the wedding was fine with the food. 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.

hands down offer such a great package! Highly recommend! Can’t wait for our wedding there in 2027!!

swered any and all questions we had. She was very knowledgeable and helped us stay within our budget. Pen Ryn also has 3 different venues on the property which were all equally beautiful. If you are looking for your wedding venue I would highly recommend checking it out and ask for Denyse!

. I cannot recommend them enough!

all that, the venue was stunning and spacious! We could not have asked for a better place to get married! Thank you Pen Ryn!

eautifully designed space that created the perfect ambiance for our celebration. From the moment we booked, the team at Pen Ryn was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly. They were accommodating to all our requests and made sure every element of our wedding was executed perfectly. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional—our guests couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful everything was! If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, outstanding service, and a gorgeous setting, Pen Ryn Estate is the ideal choice. We are so grateful to their team for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable! Highly recommend!

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.

n-site. Everyone we worked with at the venue was helpful in planning our day and very communicative. We had extra personal touches to add to our reception in terms of decorations, and everything was placed perfectly. All the staff was friendly and approachable throughout the process. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting, and our guests loved the food and atmosphere on the big day itself! My husband and I cannot recommend Pen Ryn enough, and are incredibly grateful for their professional and efficient service leading up to and on our wedding day. A reception at Pen Ryn is certain to be enjoyed by everyone. Thank you!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

cess and their stellar day-of services.

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!

enal and the mansion was exactly what we wanted. Would recommend to everyone!

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.
